Hotel Socrates

Excellent location, 1-minute walk to the tram, groceries and coffee. Close to everything! And thank you for AC!

Very very handy to the Larissa Train Station for a quick departure to the airport. Nice clean, tidy, modern hotel, and could even see the sea from the 5th floor balcony. Good priuce too. Wonderful music from the nearby restaurant. They did forget my wakeup call, but I wasn't counting on it.

In the heart of Athens and next to a station which has both the Metro and train system.

room 606, comfortable beds, no bed bugs, corner room, top floor, ac cold, balcony absolutely huge incredible balcony; amazing front desk staff that remembers us staying there through the years… very beautiful and kind front desk manager or owner in the mornings. Only downfall is the cigarette smoke everywhere; as non- smokers it is beyond brutal and we had trouble breathing and sleeping because of it! However it’s our go to hotel ANYTIME we are in the area! Thank you! Great job for housekeeping keeping the rooms spotlessly clean!

This hotel was excellent. Large rooms. spacious lobby. Excellent breakfast. Good location.

Our stay was very good. The room was ready earlier than scheduled. Check in was polite and hassle free. Room was clean, secure and well lit. Also had refrigerator. Shame the adjacent restaurant had closed. Looked like it had been a very nice place to eat. We chose this hotel for easy access to train and subway station. Grocery store also within walking distance which has a walk away breakfast-coffee counter inside.

It was clean and comfortable

Staffs are friendly. Nice and clean room. The male staff at the front desk helped me to find taxi at 0230 in the morning. As a solo traveler and as a female, this is such a big help for my safety. Thank you very much Socrates.

The room was not clean. We found ants in the bathroom that were spreading into the room. On colder days, we tried to use the radiator (which was actually an air conditioning unit), but it didn’t work. The next day, we found a dead cockroach in the bathroom, which made us feel that the space wasn’t properly cleaned. Additionally, the place needs improvements as it does not look like the pictures advertised, and there are no photos of the bathroom, which feels misleading. We originally booked for five nights, but due to these issues, we decided to leave early and booked another place for the last two nights. We only stayed three nights instead of the full stay we had planned.

Clean basic room that needs updating but good price and clean with helpful staff

Can't really complain given the cost. Location was good, very close to Larissa station and only a 10 minute metro away from Syntagma square. Surrounding area isn't as bad or sketchy as other reviews suggest imo. Room did smell of smoke initially but I had a balcony so smell went away after having the door open for a while. Had to pay for water out of a vending machine in reception which was slightly obnoxious but only 50 cent a bottle. Also, Expedia led me to believe that the city tax was included in the booking but I was still charged 15 euro on site. Staff were friendly. Room was bare minimum but functional. Would probably use again as a budget option if I wanted to stay in Athens.

Can hear the traffic very loud, can't sleep well at night. Bed is just ok. The shower room is really small that you doesn't know how to sit on the toilet. Location is 35 minutes walk to Athens centre Which is quite good for us A convenient shop of next to the hotel but just another next street is mini supermarket. And on Wednesday has street market .

A friendly place to stay. The décor is starting to look a little bit tired, but it is in a good location close to the railway station and metro, with a good supermarket within 5 minutes walk.

Good place had a great stay ! Very very close to transport which was great !

Checked in, room ready but dirty, they gave me a second room. Less dirty, left for a few hours to see the sights, upon return sat down with my laptop, within a few minutes felt itchy, developed rash on leg, saw cigarette ashes in the floor. Decided to find something else. Should perhaps have complained to front desk, but wrote it off as a lost cause, so checked out by 9:30. Did not want to risk picking up bedbugs, of which I’d also seen possible signs in the first room.

Perfect location. This was our second stay. Same price. The first stay we had a 5th floor balcony with a city view. On this second stay, same room type was booked, but this time the room was smaller and the balcony had no view. The view is terrific, so if this is important to you, negotiate accordingly.

2 min from metro station which was great for reaching the town centre. The metro lines are really well connected . Was a little bit nousy at night, but if you are a heav sleeper it won t bother you. One of the blancket was dirty, but they did change the sheets daily. For the price, location can t really complain. The reception staff were very kind and helpful

Clean, good value of price, friendly staff , near to metro.Strongly recommended.

Clean rooms , nice stuff, good value.

Clean hotel. Reception staff not very friendlt or welcoming. Double room abd rooms with a ciew are more comfortable.
