Novotel Athenes

Very nice staff staff, good breakfast, however, bathrooms should have doors which lock. Very nice roof top view including the Parthenon

The hotel itself is great. There is a 24 hour reception and the staff was very helpful. If you arrive before check in, they will hold your bags behind the desk. The rooms were spacious and clean and nice. The amenities were great! The rooftop was lovely with a beautiful view of the Acropolis. The swimming pool was nice also with a beautiful view. My only complaint is that the neighborhood felt a little sketchy like it was getting outside of the general tourist area so we typically walked to and from during the day but after dark we took Uber Taxi back. The street the hotel is on did feel safer and cleaner than other streets/hotels within a 5 minute walk because it was off the busy road.

The room was clean but very small for 2 adults and 2 children. The sofa bed for the children was extremely uncomfortable, the mattress was very thin. There was a nasty smell in the corridor of the 2nd floor that didn’t go away. The pool area was very crowded but it has lovely views and the children enjoyed the pool. Breakfast was good but if you go down late there won’t be much left and you will have to wait to be seated. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Overall it was a nice hotel and suitable for a short stay.

Staff were nice especially the roof top people

Well to begin with I have never experienced anything like this at a hotel what I experienced with Novotel Athens! First of all I had booked my booking with breakfast they mentioned it was not included so we had to pay for breakfast for 8 days for 6 of us. Secondly, I asked reception if they can send water bottle to my room they mentioned water is only complementary on the first day after that we must buy the water bottle from their rooftop restaurant/bar; irons were given but for limited time and the housekeeper would take it regardless we were in our rooms or not. I don’t have anything good to say about the hotel that was my experience overall it was “Okay” do think twice before booking because the area is a little shady too (Druggies around that area).

Le déjeuner est décadent, c’est l’un des meilleurs déjeuner inclut! Super variété, excellente qualité et des mets typique de la Grèce. La chambre et le tapis était un peu humide. La piscine était très bien avec une très belle vue de la ville et de l’acropole. Service de navette gratuit pour se rendre à l’acropole était très apprécié.

So only 2 members of staff at the pool bar and the lady lifeguard was nice Every other member of staff were rude unhelpful unfriendly Not in a nice area at all Room was cleaner and the cleaner manager was lovely

The location with view to the Acropolis was great.

We had a lovely time at Novotel and the breakfast was delicious 😋

Hotel was in keeping with the standards I have come to expect from the chain, property was clean and staff were helpful. Would visit again.

Clean room very friendly staff, good neighborhood grocery store ATM very close by. Great breakfast and a really nice gift shop in the lobby.

Really lovely hotel with an excellent pool which was a life saver in the heat. The hotel is modern and very well maintained. It is not in the best area of Athens but had a bus to take you there and was near several metros.

Stayed at Novotel Athens recently and overall it was an average experience. The location is fine. Walkable to metro stations, which made getting around easy, though it felt a little unsafe after dark. Breakfast was extremely busy, often with nowhere to sit, and the food itself was just ok, nothing special. The pool was small and packed with kids, some using flippers and pool toys, which made it hard to actually relax and enjoy. Being a large hotel, noise was an issue too. You could hear other guests both at night and in the morning. For the price they charge, I expected a bit more overall.

After checking into our room we found there were clothes left in the closet by previous guests. Every time we got back to the room it smelled of smoke despite the hotel claiming it was a non-smoking room. It seemed like the people in the adjoining room were constantly smoking and the smoke was coming into our room under the adjoining room door. I called reception multiple times to let them know, but they didn’t do anything about it. The breakfast buffet was virtually empty by 10am on both days. There were no pastries, bread rolls, eggs or sausages left. We were told the kitchen had run out of food despite breakfast not ending until 10:30am. One positive thing was the view from the pool on the top floor. You can see all of Athens including the Acropolis.

Excellent! The pool is a nice addition!

It’s to much homeless around the hotel

We stayed here as a family with two children and overall good. The room was ok, the staff were very helpful, and the 24/7 reception was a big plus. The buffet breakfast with great variety The downside was the surrounding neighborhood. We didn't feel comfortable walking outside at night, so we relied on Uber for all our evening trips. The swimming pool has a lovely view, but it is quite outdated. Many of the sun loungers were damaged with holes, and there were only a few available, which wasn't enough for 10 people.
