Athens Hotels

Room was tiny, bathroom was tiny, staff was incredibly rude. Make sure you state the number of guests (e.g., 2) and not just that you need one bed or they will try to give you twin bed.

Excellent customer service, modern and spacious room I will definitely come back and stay with Electra.

Very pleasant and knowledgeable concierge

We didn't like the room first provided but after complaining received smaller but with much better view. Why not to provide the better room initially?

Loved the elegance of the hotel, service and roof top dining.

Nothing, just perfect!

Decently large rooms by European standards, nice view from the rooftop pool. Decent price, and comfortable bed.

Pool hours are very limited, I figured I could go for a swim after being out for the day only to be told the pool closes around 1830. Presumably, they don't want to sacrifice the bar ambiance around the pool by people actually using the pool. And it didn't reopen until 9am in the morning, too late to be useful before needing to run out for the day. Typical terrible Greek hours. Very disappointed that the pool, one of the main reasons I booked the hotel, was 100% useless. You should consider it for show only. The hotel isn't in a bad area (by comparison to the rest of Athens), but the walk to the metro is not the most enjoyable and I kept an eye out for unsavory people. I was surprised to find a Novotel in such a residential area - nothing close by that you'd want to walk to (except the metro to head to a more interesting area). The view from the roof could be Lebanon or the Gaza Strip if you didn't see the Acropolis way off in the distance.

Very nice hotel! We enjoyed our stay and had an amazing time in Athens!

It could have been a little closer to all the sites, or closer to the metro station. Next time we will probably stay in a hotel near the heart of Athens, so we wont have to use the subway as much.

The location is far from the city center. The hotel has only one restaurant including a pool bar which was booked for a private function for 2 nights. This limited us to dine in the indoor restaurant. The female waiter was too rude and didn't want us to sit in the dining area but only next to the bar.

Pool very nice

Nothing

It was a great hotel for a one night stay in Athens. The staff was very helpful. The location of the hotel was perfect very close to Acropolis and main city area. I would stay here again & recommend to friends as well.

The bathroom could be updated it's very basic, decor updates are needed. Room service is too overpriced, luckily there's a lot of places to eat close by.

Loved the view of the Temple of Zeus and the Acropolis. The morning breakfast was terrific and good value.

The walk was very convenient, but the few shops next door made it look seedy to presence of the hotel. I thought 25.00 for a Margarita and 16 for a beer was a bit over the top. The prices for bar drinks make a traveler like me go elsewhere for a drinks, when I would really rather stay and drink in the relaxing atmosphere of the pool and hotel.

Service was impeccable, food was delicious, especially upstairs on the rooftop. Killer view. Oh, and the mattress and bedsheets are of high quality - you'll sleep very well.

The wifi is kinda slow, shower design will leave your floor soaked

Very nice hotel, great location. The room was quite big and the bed was sooo comfortable. I was impressed by the design.

They could improve breakfast. It's ok to have the same breakfast everyday but food that should be warm was cold constantly.

Good view

Location to tourist and restaurant areas

The location

The rooms are very small and this was uncomfortable

clena and great location with a good buffet breakfast

the price is a little hig and bathrooms are a little old (but clean)

Amazing location near the Parthenon, the Acropolis museum, the metro, and the Plaka tourist shopping area. Plenty of tavernas, gyros, and gelato nearby. Our room on the 3rd floor was nice and quiet. The bed was comfortable so I got a very good sleep. The full breakfast had many choices - breads, cereals, eggs, meat, cheese, yogurt+honey, feta+cucumber+tomato, fruit, etc.

I wish I could stay longer!

Everything was outstanding

the sights from the room and the restaurant are great

The rooms are big and the location is great next to shopping and restaurants.

Nothing

Very nice place located in the heart of the city with a good value. The staff was always there to help and made excellent recommendations for our stay.

Would've loved to have a single queen bed in stead of two twins but this is not that unusual in Greece.

The bathroom was roomy, clean, and nice. The furniture in the room was all matching and liked nice. Late night check in was a breeze.

The bed was extremely hard.

it was clean and new

Not very near to metro

Nice rooms and great pool

The pool closes too early in the evening.m

clean, great room, great service

free wifi in lobby only expensive breakfast

Breakfast was great Room size good Friendly staff Good wifi

The breakfast and the staff were excellent. The room was clean and nicely decorated.

The walls were thin and you could hear your neighbors. The bathroom was very poorly set up. There was no door to the shower so water got all over the floor. If someone was using the toilet and another person opened the door, it would open onto their knees. The toilet paper holder was located in an awkward position behind the toilet...hard to reach. The hotel is located in a rather rough neighborhood.

Modern, sleek and elegant design, beautiful rooftop pool, lovely breakfast, easy to walk to sites.

The location felt a bit edgy at night.

This is a well run, very contemporary, hotel with excellent amenity ie gym, breakfast, restaurant, good sized rooms. We arrived very early (discharged off cruise ship early as they do) and the hotel staff found an (upgraded) room for us to use immediately for our stay. We found the staff very helpful and friendly. Try the greek yoghurt and honey at breakfast!

While the hotel is well located for accessing the Acropolis area (30 min walk) and the pedestrian mall (Ermou), it is in a 'downmarket' area of town adjacent to Central Market. OK during the day but our two taxi drivers warned us to take care at night. The surrounding area lacks restaurants but we used the hotel restaurant on the top floor with view of Acropolis.

Very comfortable beds,a great view of the Acropolis,clean rooms.good breakfast buffet

no complaints,but rquest a room on the Acropolis side,not the street side.

the central position

the noise in the room

the reception is super cute with the mini cooper reception desks and the design of the hotel is very artistic. my room had a batman painting on the wall. not hanging on the wall, ON the wall.

well the only thing is that the doors make these weird alarm sounds when u're entering, and the morning of my stay someone's door alarm had gone crazy and i was woken up to have to call the reception to help turn it off.

Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Gave us good ideas on where to go for dinner and booked the restaurant for us.The hotel room was very pleasant and trendy.

Our wake up call was late by 20 min. I believe there was a confusion from their side and we got the wake up call when the taxi was ordered for.

Nice staff. Amazing breakfast!! quite location. Close to subway and city center. FAST Wifi.Very nice hotel.

Elevators are super small.

My stay at the hotel was a very pleasant experience,with welcoming and helpful staff,and an excellent room,with all needs catered for. I have already recommended to friends and family.

The rooms were amazing!!!

small poorly designed bathroom

Modern, staff was friendly, great shuttle service to the airport. We had an early flight, they had coffee and cakes waiting at 3:30 in the morning prior to our departure.

Coffee and fridge not stocked. Shower didn't work at first. And we had single beds - was told no Kings were available - completely bummed.

Very nice hotel with good sized rooms. Staff was very accommodating with booking a cab for us at 500AM for our early flight at 625. We ordered room service and the food was delicious!

The airport shuttle only starts after 530am so we will had to pay for a 28 Euro taxi. This was not advertised anywhere. But still for overall cost, value and convenience it is worth staying here!

Staff was great

The assistance and advice of the Front Desk staff.

Cost of beer at the bar and the lack of a shower 'curtain' which made showering difficult.

The area was very near the city center with a great view of the Acropolis. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

Room was on the small side and the breakfast was mediocre at best. Avoid the charge and eat out. Plenty of good places nearby.

Staff was very helpfull and location was great.

It needs to be renovated. Room was too small and all furnitures were very old. I had a view of the wall of the next building.

The location was perfect

The hotel promises internet and wifi but once you get there, they tell you that if you want internet in your room you have to pay for it and it is expensive!!! The room smelled of cigarette and the bathroom smelled of stale mold. The staff was impolite, at best, except for Adonis at the front desk, he was extremely courteous and helpful.VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE!

rhe lobby was cool from 70's

The room from 70's too and needs total renovation Should have a pool Still charge for internet And gave no option for late check out.

Relaxing, quiet and peaceful surrounding with transfer to the city center facility which help foreigner capable to travel easier.

Lack of brochures for tourist who are travelling by themself to be able to travel around without using package tours.

good rooms, large lobby

expensive internet (22 euro), expensive minibar (8 euro for a local beer)

Staff went above and beyond to address some help that I needed. It was very much appreciated.

Location. It is is a pretty rough part of the city.

Very nice clean hotel with nice modern rooms

Shower tub was too narrow and hard to stand in to take a shower. Even though we were on a non-smoking floor we could severely smell smoke from adjoining rooms. We complained about the cigarette smell and was only told "sorry".

Located walking distance to sites, transport, and the older part of the city.

It was at a premium location, we had a view of Acropolis from our balcony. Very clean. It was in a residential area, so nice and quiet at nights.

The lady serving in the breakfast room was making too much noise when putting away the crockery.

Good area near lots of restaurants and major sites. Hotel is very basic with very small rooms. Good to rest and shower but far from luxury. Basic tourist level 2/3 star spot. AC was very good.

Towels need an upgrade. Very thin and overused. Bed was very hard and small.

It was a cheap stay for 1 night during transit. The location was great and it was easy to be able to walk to all the sites in Athens downtown (i.e. Syntgama square, Monisteraki market and Plaka). Breakfast was good and starts early. I am a vegetarian and I had few options but plenty like fruits, cereals, bread and some dessert. They have juice, coffee and tea. For meat eaters, they had lots of options like eggs, some cured meats, fish, omelette, etc.

The carpets were outdated and looked overused. The bathroom was too small and compact. Had a stuffy smell in the room which I guess was because of old carpet.

The hotel is fine but the staff of te reception was not polite and helpfull.

Be more customer oriented!!!

I enjoyed the rooftop bar and pool very much. The location isn't too bad. Metro and taxis easily available on a daily basis. Rooms were average but clean and comfortable.

The wifi only available in the common area was a big thumbs down. Also it wasn't good connection if more then a few people were on it.

Nothing

I traveled with my 2 kids and the nanny. Ordered and paid for a double room with a connecting door (as seen in there photo gallery)so the nanny will have her own room . When we arrived, they gave us one room with 4 beds. I showed my invitation but the guy from the reception could not understand what is wrong because" we are 4 people and there are 4 beds". I explained again that this is not what we paid for nor we want. The only option that was available for us is a room with 3 beds and a connecting door but "since we insist" they will bring an additional folding bed. The connecting door was not used eventually since the air condition was only in one room and the other room was without windows nor air-condition. Must emphasize that I called 3 times in advance to make sure that the room seen in the pictures is the room we can get. There is no connection between the pictures and reality. Staff is very friendly but that not changed the frustration from the room. The room itself was so dirty so I paid the maid extra money as a tip to wash the floor The hotel was very noisy during night and the view that we got was the worst We left 1 day before… Location is good So, if you like nice hotel stuff and would like to take a chance as us with an awful hotel experience …

The hotel was within walking distance to many tourist attractions such as Planka, Acropolis, and etc

IT was pretty noisy at night, as the hotel was just opposite a club.

Excellent stay. A room with superb view.

We stayed for 5 nights as part of a wedding party and found that the hotel was ideally situated for sightseeing, shopping, restaurants,etc., All in all enjoyed our stay and found that it was excellent value for money for city centre hotel. Everything was close by, including metro and restaurants (just outside front door) and the breakfast served on the roof terrace was always one of the highlights of the day made better by the company we were in. Thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
