Hotel Diethnes

I usually stay by the Acropolis in Athens but wanted a peaceful, quiet Christmas stay and was given room 103 as was upgraded free in the true spirit of Christmas . The male receptionist is extremely friendly and his English language is excellent. I was given a large comfortable room to relax inside and breakfast was even served on Christmas and Boxing Day, the boiled eggs weee yummy and plenty of cereals and cheese to cater for my pescatarian diet . Lots of restaurants in the area that are reasonably priced for to eat supper and the historic places to visit are a reasonable 25 minute walk away . So got the Christmas break I wanted and a friendly Greek welcome too.

They say it’s buffet but I got only eggs, youghurt, 5 slices of ham, 6 6 slices of cheese, honey & bread same. My room aircon is not working glad that it’s not summer. Staff is helpfully especially the big guy at night. He help me book taxi going to station. Walkable to Karissa Station going to the airport but if your flight is early like mine the you use the X95 at Stagarma Square

I reserved this hotel for the location. I will say the walk after dark was a bit sketchy, but the photos looked good. The buildings outside looked very nice and I was greeted Greekly. Paid for my room and she then noticed I had a dog. I travel with a service dog. I was charged extra for that, handed my key and AC controller. The room was unique along with the common areas. It was small and needed some upkeep. Bed was Okay and the AC worked. There was WiFi that was good and the shower, unusual as it was, had good hot water. It has a tiny lift and a lot of common areas. Neighborhood is more industrial, with homeless people and a lot of graffiti. For one night by the train station, it works. There are much better options close to attractions for the same or less money.

Excellent price and location and very accommodating with my late arrival and allowed me to check out a few hours later. Great rooms and very clean. Would visit again.

A great little hotel!!

I sleep there one night (because at night I didn't have where else to go) and then I preffered to look for another place. The man who did my check in was asking me a lot of personal questions and told me really unappropiate things. The room was really bad, it smelled a lot as cigarrate and moisure which you can see in the walls, there where cockroaches, and at night I can listen little paws walking in the walls or roof, the room had a window that went directly to the street and the window didn't had a lock, it seems that someone tried to get in and it was open, and the iron rods were so big that any person can pass throw it. The sheets and towels were dirty and with holes.

A great property in a very convenient location for me. Close to the trains and walkable for everything else.

Great!

I paid through hotel.com and get a receipt and supposed to pay 0.50 cent at the priority I arrived from the airport at 11:50 PM and the hotel said that they cant get my payment so i have to pay again the whole amount or i have to leave I alao paid extar for the breakfast and i get cold coffee that is not drinkable and old food that is not eatable I have stayed in about 100 different hotels the last few years and this was the worst of all time

Small rooms but perfect for what I needed.

Ok for a very short stay

I arrived early for check in but clerk said my room was ready. Very happy about that. Upon check in, clerk showed me my room. It was fine but the air conditioner was blowing warm air. Clerk said it just took time to cool down. That sounded reasonable so I unpacked and took a nap. When I woke up the room was just as hot as it was in the morning. Went to the desk and told the clerk (night clerk now) that my air conditioning was not working. He went with me to the room and said that it was working since the fan was running. I told him the fan had been running for hours and not provided any cooling. I thought at that time he was going to let me change rooms and I followed him back to the front desk. The clerk went to his computer and made a phone call. I waited for a good 15 minutes as I thought he was making preparations for repair or to give me a different room. After waiting I walked up to the desk and the clerk asked “can I help you?” I said I thought you were checking about moving me to a new room because of the air conditioning. He said “you have trouble with air conditioning? I said “yes - you went with me to see the air conditioner was not working!” (Several more iterations of the previous conversation) Then the clerk said “the hotel has a problem, I just work here, there is nothing I can do “. At this point I called Travelocity service line and your service person solved the problem by getting directly in touch with the clerk and getting him to provide another room

Good stay

WiFi wasn’t reliable. No reliable/safe or designated parking. One night the water was cold. Couldn’t use the AC as it was leaking onto an electrical box, and when we notified reception all they did was place a hand towel on top.

nice place nice service very clean the showers too small need remolding

Location and every thing is fine. I can't complain for for the price.

This hotel is reasonably priced for Athens, and the location of the hotel itself feels rather safe: but I would highly caution anyone against walking from this hotel to the center of Athens - prostitution, druggies, and trash along the 20 minute route, and definitely didn't feel safe on the streets there. The hotel itself if fine: room was as expected, though we were told to leave the key at the front desk when we left: which seemed a bit risky given the general atmosphere of the area: front desk was a bit rude when we arrived: demanding that we pay the .50 euro 'tourist tax' immediately upon arrival even though we didn't have any change on us. Might stay there again in a pinch, but probably would find somewhere else if possible.

The room was clean and roomy. It was conveniently located by the train station. One downfall is that the room’s air conditioner did not cool off very well.

Near a train station. Kind staff. Kind of dumpy neighborhood with abandoned cars and buildings nearby

clean room, friend staff, post check-out keeping laggage
