Nafsika Hotel Athens Centre  

The hotel staff is super friendly! We were greeted with warm smiles and a friendly "hello," "good morning," etc. whenever they saw us. The receptionist even tried to teach us how to say "good morning" in Greek the first morning, which was really sweet. The manager (I think) was also knowledgeable about areas and highlighted places on a map for us to reference. It is right by the Metaxourgio stop (about 2 min walk) which is 2 stops from Acropoli. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, although a bit small for a double. There is also ice cold air conditioning which you can control, and was nice to have if it had been super hot.

You can get a non-smoking room, but if someone else is smoking in a room next to you, you will smell it! It was so bad one night I actually woke up from it! The rooms are also nothing special, a little on the ghetto side, awkwardly set-up, and the bathroom is insanely small! And I'm very skinny! It was nearly impossible to close the door once inside the bathroom because you were in the way of the door shutting. The area surrounding the hotel is also awful! We made the mistake of walking around the first night and were very, very nervous and got lost. It was rather scary, but we learned and didn't do it again, and made sure to stay around the Plaka district and other tourist-y areas to be a little safer. Breakfast is also not in the hotel, but in a partner hotel across the street and is nothing special. Essentially if you are looking for a place to sleep, take a shower in the morning and have a light breakfast then this is the place. If you are expecting anything more than that you will probably be disappointed. I loved the staff, but next time I will probably pay a little extra and stay in the Plaka district, especially seeing as that is where we were all the time anyway.

Good location for sightseeing. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. For the price its a good deal. We only stayed one night in Athens so it worked out for us.

You don't want to get back to your hotel after midnight because the street isn't too safe. Bed wasn't the greatest.

Friendly staff

Gardens unneat

the hotel is located near the metro station which facilitate your transport. very good staff. quite neighborhood.

Great value for money,good breakfast (at the coffee place across the road!)

Sound,not very good in that.you can hear everyone from the hall or the room next door,but hey...for the money it costs,its fine.

The staff was really friendly, and always happy to help. My room had a view of the Acropolis (but most rooms don't). The price was definitely worth it. The location was kinda good since it was near the metro, and there were quiet a few decent cheap places to eat. A lot of reviews will knock the neighborhood, but it's the same problems in most of Athens outside the few ritzy areas.

The bathroom was way too small for me. The toilet seat was cheap plastic, and felt on the urge of breaking (I'm around 220lbs). The shower seemed to leak all over the floor no matter what, and there seemed to be mold in the bathroom floor because of it. Rooms not really sound proof so it might be a bit loud if it was more busy.

Good Hotel for such price!) there is a nice Cafe in front of the hotel)reception is very good they let us in before the Check in.. it was about 6 a.m.without any money asked ))just dont expect 5* service being in 2*.

Basic budget hotel in Athens. Breakfast across the street was ok, but not spectacular.

Hard beds, small showers in rooms, noisey old building, smells of cigarette smoke.

Good location, free Internet in the rooms, had everything I needed for 2 nights, good price, kindly stuff.

Very noisy from the street, has some problems to pay by my card.

It is good for a short city trip. The location is not bad but very noisy because of nearest traffic

Quite near to the metro station. Staff are very kind, help me to find a taxi to the port when all the public transportation are closed due to the strike.

The hotel is conveniently located, just a short walk to one of the central metro stations Metaxourghio. The stuff was nice - they made sure we were in the airport on time (our plane left in the middle of the night). The room was clean and the decor was nice. There was free wi-fi and ac.

The balcony was very small and the view from it... Well, there was total absence of any view. It faced a grey concrete wall, there was nothing else you could see. But it had an upside too! Because of the wall right in front of our balcony the sunlight was completely blocked and the room felt pleasantly cool in spite of the heat of 36 degrees outdoors.
