Hotel is situated in a really nice, clean and salubrious area with a large variety of shops, bars and restaurants within 5-10 mins walk. The nearest tram station is 5 mins walk away from the hotel and a ticket can be purchased from the station to commute to Athens central for just 1.40 Euros. The selection of local restaurants is great and because of the suburban area we were left to browse the menu outside and choose at our convenience rather than have the usual sales pitch by greeters and touts more customary in tourist populated centric areas of the city.
Rooms are clean and well presented and buffet breakfast offers a good continental style choice between about 7.30 and 10.00.
The hotels real strength lies in the staff for whom nothing is too much trouble and they all have a genuine friendly and convivial attitude as well as speaking excellent English. We liked Costas immensely who worked the desk and bar and seemed a really nice bloke. He was always on hand for anything we needed and seemed authentically interested in us but not in that over confident assertive way some hoteliers can be.
My partner and I had a fantastic time at the Blue Sky and will return March 2013 for another stay.
