Breakfast was amazing! The rooms are clean, but some areas of the rooms are very load the street over has a nightclub, and you can hear it very clearly when your windows are closed. Luckily, we asked to switch rooms and didn't have a problem afterwards

My wife, son and I booked the junior suite both prior to and after a cruise that left from the port of Athens. We stayed in room 900 which is a newly renovated room located on the top floor of the hotel adjacent to the infinity pool. The Stanley is a newly renovated historic hotel located in central Athens. There is a subway station as well as hop on hop off tourist bus directly outside. Easy cheap access to tourist spots, airport, port. This is the only Junior suite in the hotel, and its location offers views of the Parthenon in the distance as well as sweeping views of the city. The room has been newly renovated and is tiled throughout with plenty of storage and a very comfortable bed and pullout sofa. There is a narrow balcony with glass railings as well as a large private patio area accessed through a sliding door. The bathroom is very large and well-appointed with a large glassed-in shower. We were impressed by the welcome bottle of wine on ice and fruit tray as well as the free stocked mini bar. The room included a full hot breakfast which is served in the roof top restaurant. The breakfast buffet was amazing and included Greek specialties, North American foods and specialty coffees. The restaurant has plenty of seating as well as a great balcony. From 4-7 there is a "happy hour" for suite guests in the mezzanine lounge that includes beer and wine and light snacks. Was a great way to wind down from the day! The staff throughout were amazing- Great stay!

I have stayed at Stanley several times since 2023. This is the first time I leave a negative review for the hotel because it's not the same good value hotel anymore.I was waiting 10 min to check in because the front desk person (Kostas) was telling jokes in German with another couple. They didn't offer any upgrade because there was no other room available even with VIP access. Across the street the Wyndham offer points for loyal travelers and it is much better value hotel.

Pool is fantastic!!!! Breakfast was good but could have some vegan options.

Hervorragendes Hotel mit freundlichem Personal und guter Lage in der Innenstadt. Super Aussicht auf Akropolis. Immer wieder gerne.

A very good property could do with a refresh . Also some rugs in the room would go a long way . Rooms are very noisy so having carpets would be a good idea . Otherwise a good hotel

.

Only the rooftop pool looks nice. The room is old. The mattress is very worn down, broken tiles, tiny shower with loose cover. The surrounding area is old, with broken buildings, unsafe to walk at night.

Beautiful view from infinity pool and rooftop restaurant of the Acropolis......and first class stay in every way.

The breakfast was the best we have ever had! The staff is incredible. Our only issue was that our Executive Lounge card had to be reset every day to access the lounge which was a little annoying. Also, there is no full body mirror and no plug in the bathroom for hair tools. Other than that, it was great! Also, water bottles are 3$ each. We had to ask maintenance for AC help and the room was still pretty hot, it only went down to 18 degrees Celsius.

Hotel facilites are prrtty average. The 'heated' pool was not at all warm, the restaurant food and bar are ok but extremely expensive

Fresh breakfast every morning, staff were lovely and happy to help, and the metro is right outside. I wouldn’t walk around at night or two and from attractions in the day, lots of substance misuse and prostitution.

Great staff but don't expect a 4/5 star experience. Room amenities were basic but acceptable. Great location, 4 metro stops to the Acropolis, lots of cafes and restaurants nearby.

Great breakfast. Fantastic roof top views of the Acropolis & Pantheon. A fabulous week.

Comfortable room with convenient wetroom style bathroom. Good shower, comfortable bed. The staff were polite and helpful, and the cost was very reasonable.

really nice and friendly staff. hotel location is also nice and within walkable distance of many interesting points. nice pool with a nice view.

Overall, everything was good, but the area was a bit unsafe and dirty.

We had stayed at this hotel previously and our experience was great. This time it looks like the hotel standards went down. It does not seem like a four star anymore. Room was not very clean, had a terrible view, shower was clogged and was very small. After a lot of complaints we were able to change our room to a better one. There were still a lot of broken things in the room and wallpaper was coming off etc. There was construction in the room beside us so there was a lot of noise throughout the day. Metro is just outside the hotel entrance so very convenient. I’m not sure if I will stay here again though.

Ideally located 2 mins from the Metro and 20 mins walk from the beautiful Acropolis. Featuring a nicely designed rooftop bar and resteraunt with panoramic views; only The Wyndham Hotel impinging on the view to the Acropolis. Food / drink was reasonably priced and had a great selection of dishes including Vegetarian choices; also an excellent choice of wines and cocktails. Nevertheless, even at quiet times, Service is 'unhurried'... The Deluxe Room is / was barely adequate. I don't know what filters and lenses they used to 'big-up' my room and Shower-room. The shower-room: Clean but barely functional. The corner shower cubicle was not as shown and as a barely 70cm × 70cm equilateral triangle; actually washing yourself is challenging. On more than one occasion I knocked the shower thermostat control to either freezing or scalding hot. If you weigh more than 70kg it will be dangerously tight for you. The hotel itself has a shallow rooftop pool; sun lounger etc; a gym and decent lobby area. However, from day one, we were missing amenities such as barhrobes. On day 2 we were left with no towels but a complimentary damp cleaning cloth on the bed pillow. It took 2 complaints including 1 in person, for us to finally be brought towels. On a more positive note, the reception staff were pleasant and de-escalatory. Be aware, works were taking place at the hotel during our visit; heavy banging and drilling; from about 645am... Just as well we were up at 7am each day. Breakfast - Superb
