This hotel needs to shut down and have it renovated. Everything is old and ugly. The staff service is also not good. The breakfast is terrible. The location of the hotel is very unsafe is called Omonia. This is the most hotel I hated and definitely not recommend it. I demand a refund.

Very old hotel with minimal maintenance. The toilet was leaking and the roof had a huge hole. No toiletries or extra supplies (such as coffee maker or cups) available at either the room or hotel. Very standard. The only positive thing would be the location, which is not too far from the main areas, and the staff were friendly.

The location is perfect for tourists wanting to see the major attractions of Athens. Metro a few hundred meters away. Good typical Greek breakfast. The bathroom was tiny, which is usual for major cities. ONLY complaint, the air conditioner stopped working our last day. And Athens was having a heat wave.

The hotel pictures online are not accurate. The hotel needs a deep cleaning. Everything from the rooms, Lobby area , Outdated furniture. The rooms and the hallways leading to the rooms have a bad smell Like mildew. Even the furniture was covered up with blankets because of the Cleanliness. The old man that works at night who has a barking dog and Very angry. The breakfast in the morning was misleading! I wasn’t sure if it was orange juice or mouthwash. The bed was extremely uncomfortable. It almost felt like I was sleeping on the outside concrete. There was no air conditioning in the rooms. I had to open my windows to get air. They give a very little tiny bar soap That is as small as a fingernail. The shower is tiny. The elevator is outdated and I would advise you to use a stairs. The owner has a motorcycle in the hallway that smells. They will ask you for additional money upfront. Homeless Live in front of the hotel and always begging for money. The hotel is not located in a tourist area. The hotel has a bar area that has not been used since the 1980s. I was extremely disappointed. Even the older lady that works in the morning was always upset about everything. I hope this review finds you helpful.

Looking at the pictures on, Hotels.com told me to stay here! The interior of the hotel stunk like wet clothes sitting around for years!!! Dust everywhere, The furniture was covered up with blankets because they have not been changed in years. The room stunk like mildew, and my bed was two beds put together! The soap they give you was so small it was a size of a vitamin. The shower was so small water was going everywhere! They have not renovated anything. The furniture was from the 1970s. I was hot every night because there was no air-conditioning in the rooms. I was very disappointed! Read the reviews before you spend your money I was disgusted!!! I’ve never had worse breakfast in my life. The employees there were useless. I asked for extra towel at night and they said no wait till the morning!!! By the way, the towels were ripped and dirty from stains. The old man working the evening shifts has a mean dog that kept barking at customers! The man was rude, Disrespectful to guests And a very unpleasant experience! The lady in the morning (older lady Working the desk) She didn’t care about anything and was not helpful at all. There was a bar that has not been used in years and alcohol bottles half empty sitting there. The television was set up high on the wall it was so tiny It was very hard to see, and the volume was very low even on Max. The remote control didn’t work. The way to get air conditioning was to open the window! The elevator was super small and Had a horrible odor.

Location is good is the only positive thing, but there are many other hotels in the area. Air conditioner was not working at all, we had to go ger a fan at 3 am. The bathroom was horrible, shower curtain would not go around the corner shower spraying water all over. Room did not have any natural lighting.. had windows that opened to an inside area. Breakfast had boiled eggs, sandwich bread no toaster, jam ans cheese... could not call this a buffet

This hotel is flat out disgusting. The Hotels.com reviews were pretty positive for a cheap hotel but in reality this is a horrible place to stay. The AC didnt work, there was no Wi-Fi, we couldnt even shower because water would come flooding out of the drain in the middle of the bathroom. The linens were soiled, the mattresses were stained and the walls were filthy. The worst of it all were the DIRTY FOOTPRINTS all inside the closet...It looked as though someone had been living in there in secret. Worst hotel i have ever been in. It's not at all worth the money that you save. Do yourself a favour and book anywhere else.

Worst hotel I ever stayed at. The staff is very rude. There is no functioning WiFi or air conditioning. In 30 degree heat, they provided one table fan for three persons. The breakfast was of appalling quality. There is no room service and the bedsheets or towels were not changed during our 3 day stay. The hotel also charged us for fees (local taxes) which were already on the Expedia payment receipt. When we asked for the money returned to us after our stay, they verbally abused us with racist slurs.
