We as a family (2+2) went to Athens in October 2011. This hotel was rated as 3-star hotel. The hotel was a good value for money but I would recommend this for those people who are looking for good value for money at a reasonable location. The hotel was close to metro station and going around was easy, but the... More

Very bad hotel in very, very bad neighbourhood (homeless, narkodealers and junkies). Get lost of here! Small dark rooms, dirty linen, bathroom with a lot of water everywhere. It is not recently renovated...and the center of the city is not "at 700m only".

Towel with blood! The maid came into room in midnight without Sorry even NOT knock. Maid and reception clerk rob the towel and hurt my arm. She said the blood in towel was not a problem. If so, why they wrested the towel. The reception clerk is picture call police instead of her manager. And the police also thought she... More

The hotel has good location - near railway and metro stations. We lived on 6th floor with view at Acropolis. The room is small but quite comfortable. Free stable wifi, hairdryer, fridge, little balcony. Bathroom needs renovation. Aircon is very disturbing. It has 3 modes: low, medium, high. Even at low level it blows too strong. It works periodically like... More

The hotel is located some 5-10 mins walk from the Larissa train and metro station, so the area is by definition somewhat shady. It's safe to walk around during the day, but at night you may not want to deviate from the most direct route from the metro to the hotel. The hotel itself is quite old and worn-out, but... More

Close to the metro, which is great. Wouldn't want to be walking alone late at night in the area. The staff were 99% grumpy, and the rooms were basic, but they were safe and secure. Skip the meal service at the hotel and go around the corner to the lovely taverna across from the church.

First of all- this is good enough 3 star European Hotel. There is no aircondition in the room but have a great view of the city (if you are staying on the 5th floor and above). 2nd Advantage is you are close to the Metro station. Lobby area is small- but hey you are in Europe.
