“6 out of 5 for Blue Sky Hotel, great place, great staff, great value.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

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.

“WONDERFUL VALUE”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011

You cannot beat value for money at the Blue Sky in the Attica, Glyfada/Voula areas. We found the hotel clean, staff excellent (especially helpful with so many strikes during our Sept/Oct visit). Breakfast was a lovely start to the day and could be taken either inside or outside in the extremely well kept patio/garden area. If arriving at the hotel via the X96 airport bus, for convenience print off a small map of how to locate the hotel or another option is to remain on the bus to the 'main' Glyfada bus stop where you'll find taxis' - this could help get your bearings. Location wise the beach (Octupus Beach 6 euros pp is equiv to some US private beach clubs!), shops, supermarkets, trams and buses are all nearby. The icing on the cake for us was the receptionist Katerina - what a delight she was - very professional, helpful and amazingly originally from the island we were heading to, Patmos. The trip to Patmos was seamless, based on her solid adivce and directions to Uncle Theo's Yvonnis Studios (another great option if heading there). We now have direct flights from Scotland/Edinburgh to Athens and will be making regular return visits for long weekends and longer, if possible. If you are looking for a relaxing time and not too fussed about the 1 hour tram journey to Athens for sightseeing and heading for Voula Square (great coffee shops, shops and restaurants) after exhausting Glyfada - the Blue Sky is the hotel for you.

“An Oasis of Calm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011

person found this review helpful

We loved this small hotel. We didn't expect too much as it was classed as a 2 star, but it exceeded all expectations. The staff were very friendly and helped us find places to eat and were only too happy to make phone calls for bus times etc. The bathroom was a tad small. The bed linen was extremely clean and changed frequently. Also, our towels were changed daily and they smelled nice! There was always hot water.
We liked the air conditioning and safe in the room.
Continental Breakfast was included in the price and there was plenty of choice. Cereals, cold meats and cheese, hard boiled eggs, breads, croissants, fresh fruit, juice and coffee/tea.
Although the hotel is around 15 minutes from the beach and an hour outside Athens, if you're looking for a peaceful night's sleep, at a very reasonable price, then this is a must-stay.
For €1.40 you can travel into Athens on the tram. Another good excursion is to catch the KTEL bus on the main road just past Katraki tram station and for about €5 you can travel to Sounio to see Poseidon's Temple. The scenery on the way is quite breathtaking.
Would definitely recommend this hotel.

“A great value choice in a posh area”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011

Perfect little hotel. Very clean rooms with colorful touches, nice firm beds, and super clean and spacious bathrooms. Service is lovely and trendy neighbourhood (Glyfada) is where the rich athenians who detest pollution live. Bravo!
