They sent us other hotel which is 15 minutes by walk from the hotel I booked

Center of Athens

Stayed in April 2024

When I arrived, I went directly to the location provided in booking, and I found a brothel, the whole street was full of company girls, just when I arrived a taxi stopped right in front and started arguing in a very bad way with one of them. , my face was contorted, I didn't know what to do. Then it is true that they changed my stay. I had to arrive early at the hotel or be making video calls all the time when I was on the way to it, there are many people who give a bad vibe, it is not suitable for children, and they have to be careful with their bags because even if they are not violent, some they are too curious

It is quite central for the price it has

the property is good but the area is a bit unsafe, lot of homeless people and drunk people around, which makes it difficult to go out at night

I liked that I felt safe in the hotel as female traveller

There was either overbooking or some kind of technical disability so I had to be moved to some other hotel called Lido Hotel. The area was kind of dirty, the room was heavily used with old installations, missing courtains in the shower. My clothes were stinking cigarettes smoke and I was washing them twice after I came back. I was offered a breakfast in another (already third) hotel: €6 for leftovers and the poorest quality products advertised as “Greek breakfast”. Much potential for improvement. People were helpful, so this was a big plus.

As for this price vs. quality it was cheap, also its close to the center. The staff was helpful.

We had to move to Hotel Lido next to Orpheus Hotel, where we across by drug junkies in high amounts on the street. Initially we fell fear to walk, but next days we got used with this bad experience.

Price and air conditioner are skills that become interesting to stay in property.

It’s a very noisy neighbourhood

Location was good!

Stayed in May 2023

I think the hotel needs a bit of an upgrade. In general the facilities are rather old. The bed was a bit uncomfortable. The bathroom didn't have a shower curtain, so everything went wet when taking a shower. For a night is acceptable, but more than one night, I wouldn't stay to be honest.

The staff was really helpful. I had booked for a different hotel, which was unavailable, and they took us to another one, and allowed us to do early check-in. The neighborhood is not the best, but also close to the nice areas and within a walking distance to Acropolis. In general it was well located, but the neighborhood per se was rather ugly.

There was a problem with the water pipes so they relocated us on another side of town with druggies lining the streets. It was very unpleasant

I can’t stay at that hotel because they sent us to ‘sister hotel lindo ‘ when we reached there. There are a lot of homeless and prostitute around it. That hotel is not suitable for tourists.

Nothing

Stayed in May 2024

There were prostitutes in the lobby and outside, drug addicts and junkies everywhere, pubes and body hair all through the sheets. They didn’t let us stay there they said we had to leave and stay somewhere else in the middle of the night and we had to go in an unmarked car with security because the streets were too dangerous to walk 400m away to another hotel. Room smelt disgusting and we both woke up sick. Bathroom smelt even worse we couldn’t use it at all.

The staff member at our second hotel was nice - the hotel we were not meant to stay in

Stayed in May 2024

Close to Omonia square and Metro. Walking distance to Acropolis etc very cheap

Hotel Orpheus is a facade for a brothel. Read all the comments!! It’s not a single incident, you’ll find a pattern for years!! Once you arrive, they will inform you that they have a problem (but didn’t say what it is exactly) and will send you off to another sister hotel (Lido Hotel). The route between both hotels was 7 mins, but it was filled with tens of junkies, doing all sorts of drugs on the side road, and using syringes, or collecting garbage of the floor. I was truly scared!! Not because any of them tried to approach me, but because I was easily outnumbered. Outside both hotels there were prostitutes waiting for clients. Men all around the block would look at me and scan me (literally) to figure out if I am a prostate or client or just a hotel guest. The hotel itself was ok. But the toilet had no seat, no curtains, and you have to hold the shower head by hand. The balcony has very bad sound insulation, you can hear everything outside in the street. Soundproofing between rooms is almost non-existent. I couldn’t sleep because the family next door were hand-washing all their clothes in the bathtub until 3 am!! And I could even hear the conversations they were having together, on the phone, or when their baby cried. Doors were opening and closing in the corridors ALL NIGHT LONG. Between not being able to sleep, and actually being scared about my safety, I spent one of the worst nights of my life.

AVOID THIS PROPERTY

The Orpheus hotel is like a hostel for short stay. As in you will see people coming in just for few hours for idk what but so weird vibe. After we arrived, we were assisted to another hotel, which is better but still in the middle of like a smug area.

They clean the room every day, if any trouble like lights and run out of tissue or whatsoever, staffs are happy to help. The staffs give tips to be careful about the area.

I did not stay at the booked hotel. They changed me to Lido hotel of the same ownership. The room was mediocre. Some of the electric sockets were not functioning and there was mold on the wall of the bedroom. Also it was very noisy.

Hotel Orpheus was a brothel, with rooms being let by the half hour in a very deprived area of Athens. They hadn't reserved a room, but in retrospect that was good, as it enabled me to stay elsewhere

Quickly directed me to another Hotel (Hotel Lido) when it was apparent they had not got an available room and they were not set up for new guests

Stayed in September 2023

All of the above.

We wouldn't recommend the first hotel (Orpheus). Drigadicts, bad smell, prostitutes area. They sent us to another hotel with broken shower with no shower curtain. Licking sink. Orpheus not recommended for families.

The room was very good value for money

The quality of the room is reflected in the low price.

Stayed in May 2023

The hotel was fine, but the staff decided to scam on us they moved us to another hotel and then again moved to another hotel! Downgrade to awful room. No refund except a free breakfast. The original hotel was bigger, nicer and comfortable. Staffs made up said it was air condition was broke then other staff said it was water pump, story kept changing.

Nothing really.
