    Reasonably priced, but definitely not for the spoilt. Great location!

    The bathrooms really could do with a basic renovation. It was very tricky to get used to, especially the idea of the tiny shower tray with a plastic curtain that completely sticks to you when you’re having a shower. Can adjust to absolutely everything else but the bathrooms are not in acceptable condition.

    Loved the location and the comfort for the price spent. Easy access to all public transport and very easy to plan journeys from. Comfortable beds, and friendly reception staff.

    Bed was very uncomfortable so hard felt like a board. Shower was very small.

    Close to the main train station and short walk to main township to walk up to the ruins. Good location overall.

    The room size for a single person is acceptable but for couples is a no-go

    Good area next to metro next to a huge supermarket in a cool 70s central neighbourhood. Very very clean bedsheets and towels and balconies for the smokers. Also very good price for Athens hotel which starts to be very expensive nowadays.

    Soundproofing could be better. Most of the times the place is quiet, but if you have a noisy neighbor, you can't ignore him

    The location is very convenient, next to the central train station and metro station. The personnel is always friendly and professional. The place is value for money.

    The room smelled like 15 years of smocking. Even if the linens looked new and fresh, that room smell was awful

    Room was clean and minimalist Area is convenient if you go on a day trip

    Beds were quite hard and immediate neighbourhood is nondescript.

    It was cheap and located next to the train station. However, I erroneously believed it was next to a metro station that connected straight to the airport. Sadly, this wasn't the case. It's convenient if you plan to take the train from there to destinations elsewhere in Greece.

    Inadequate soundproofing if your room is located on the front street side. Although the rooms are renovated, the windows would perhaps also need replacement with new aluminum cases and double glass panes.

    There is a smell of cigarettes when you pass after the first floor on the hall. As a former smoker it wasn’t disturbing for me, but for a non-smoker might be. Also the mattress was pretty hard for my back, but it is something very subjective.

    Very good location near the subway and railway station with direct connection to the city center. Everyday the cleaning lady stops by to take the trash and ask you what you need (toilet products, new towels), even on 1st of Jan 😳. Always someone at the reception ready to help you with any information required. Heating with AC with inverter, but at least the AC was silent enough not to be disturbing during the night. A small balcony is also available, and also a small fridge and … a hair dryer (wow, really surprised about it 🤣). For the price, it was a great value, but expect the conditions are also very basic.

    Good value ,budget hotel . We chose it for location to train and metro station. You can see hotel from both. We went to Meteora so stayed there to get train in morning and stayed again when we returned from Meteora at 10PM. A 2 min walk from station to hotel ,same for the metro. You can also take train direct every hour to and from airport for same price as metro and less hassle

    Kettle was missing, I wish there was an option to make your tea or coffee. as I hd early tours and everyhing is closed in the morning. There are not too many supermarkets and places to eat in the area, you need to look for it on a Google map.

    Location is great, 2 minutes walk from the Larissa metro station, 15 minutes walk to National Archeological Museum, 1 minute walk from pick up spot for Meteora tours. The room is not too big, but everything is provided - towels, safe, fridge, hair dryer. Very reasonable for its price.

    A convenient location also meant a fair bit of traffic noise from 6 to 8 am but this may depend on the room I am over 6ft and found the shower enclosure a little cramped

    Ultra helpful reception staff and very close to the metro Only 10 minutes to the Archaeological museum The bedroom lighting was very good .
