Zappion Hotel  

Zappion is good value for money at an excellent location within walking distance to major attractions and several metro and tram stations. I'ts a place for people who do not mind staying in a room with little bit brothel like interior (look the pictures), huge balcony with a view to a quiet pedestrian street and a little bit weird bathroom door. 24-7 open minimarket and several cheap local tavernas are also nearby....you will get a great local feeling as you're staying in a quiet residential area

maybe not suitable for old and/or perfect kleenliness and quiet loving people...as the place may be slightly noisy and with bohemian attitude. the streets near hotel are also full of dogshit....but that's the same in all athens

The only advantage was good location and more than reasonable prices

little space, not very clean

The Location was perfect for my needs and the price was good. The staff spoke enough english to be helpful. Clean and safe, a little hard to find at first, I HIGHLY recommend that you have the address in Greek script to give to the taxi driver. The neighborhood looks sketchy near the hotel but as you venture into the heart of the neighborhood you see how cute and safe it is. There are great shops and restaurants near by and the metro is a 6 minute walk through the national gardens. Perfect hotel.

Our room was cleaned every day and it was supplied with all necessary amenities, especially in the Bathroom. It was about a 20 minute walk to the Plaka neighborhood and was an excellent choice for the price.

the location of thehotel was good for getting out of the city to the airport - the taff were extremely friendly and helpful and advised on how to get around the city and to certain places. Very quiet, lovely, modern, well equipped room - good hotel all in all!!

The location is great: a quiet and safe street in the middle of the city centre. You can easily walk to Syntagma square or a subway station in 10 minutes to catch every public transport you need. The rooms are clean and exactly what you expect from a budget hotel. The air conditioning works very well.

The walls are indeed very thin, so noises from the hall or from neighbours could sometimes be heard. If you are sensitive to this you need some earplugs.

The hotel was modest, but very clean and very, very good value for money. I can't say nothing wrong about the service. Situated less than 1 km from major sightseeing sites.

The walls were a little thin and you could hear noises from other rooms.

Very cool decor.

The room stank of cigarette smoke.

Don't be put off by the sometimes strangely decorated rooms (one had zebraprint-wallpaper), this is a nice hotel to stay. The staff are very friendly and could match the right room number to our faces within days of arrival. My room had a huge balcony, which was nice to relax in the sun after a day walking through the city. The hotel is located about 10 min walk from the Evangelismos metro station and 15-20 min walk from the city centre and the restaurants in Plaka. The roman stadium and tram to the beach are just around the corner. Breakfast is not included but can be useful if you need to leave very early, and there are several bakeries and an all-hours supermarket very close by. The room had a refrigerator to keep some drinks cool.

The rooms are quite small (big enough, but not much room to put your suitcase) and dark. The bathrooms are clean but a bit old and the shower was tiny. One of my friends had a room adjacent to the "party house" next door and heard music all friday and saturday night, but it was the only room this could be heard.

low key and relaxed staff

breakfast should be included in the room price

Was an dem Hotel unschlagbar ist, ist die Lage. Es liegt in Pangrati, einem Stadtteil von Athen (Zentrum), einer sehr ruhigen Gegend, wo man auch nachts unbehelligt durch die Straßen laufen kann. In der näheren Umgebung gibt es kein anderes Hotel. Das Stadtzentrum (Syntagma) ist bequem zu Fuß erreichbar (15 Minuten), die nächste Metro-Station (Evaggelismos) liegt 10 Minuten zu Fuß entfernt. Das Personal ist sehr nett, zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit.

An dem Hotel nicht gefallen hat mir in erster Linie die Einrichtung sowie der Hotelbau, die allesamt recht alt sind. Manchmal ist die Heizung ausgefallen, was im November nicht so angenehm ist. Abhilfe wurde nur teilweise erfolgreich geleistet. Auch sind manche Zimmer extrem klein (also wirklich extrem klein, so, dass das Doppelbett 90% der Zimmerfläche einnimmt). Mir wurde anfangs ein solches Zimmer zugewiesen, doch nachdem ich mich beschwerte, wurde mir ein besseres zur Verfügung gestellt. Auch das Frühstück für 6 Euro hat mir nicht gefallen, weil es schlichtweg zu dürftig ist. Zu einem griechischen Frühstück gehört mindestens auch Käse dazu, das aber wird nicht angeboten (nur Marmelade, Honig, Butter, Cornflakes). Insgesamt für den Preis trotzdem ein gutes Hotel, das ich weiterempfehlen würde.

Tipota den mou arese

Sa situation géographique près du stade olympique, du musée; de l'acropole, du grand palais, du parc.. Et il est situé dans un rue calme près des grandes voies routières, métro et bus. Des restaurants sont proches. La dame de l'acceuil est très aimable, nous conseille bien et parle plusieurs langues. Les chambres sont toutes différentes avec un coté "kitch", c'est amusant. Prix très abordable pour son placement dans une capitale

Le petit déjeuner n'était pas compris dans le prix, la douche est très petite avec un simple rideau, si bien que l'on met de l'eau partout. La chambre chargée en moquette, grosses tentures et voilages au dessus du lit en baldaquin était imprégnée de l'odeur de tabac. Chambre plus ou moins propre: ce qui se voit était correct mais beaucoup de poussière sous et derrière le mobilier. Perdu une petite chaine déposée sur la tablette de la salle de bain, le matin du marathon???
