The Stanley

Stayed at the Stanley for my birthday. They sent a birthday cake to my room!!! The room was clean. The bed was too firm. Woke up with back pain. Staff was friendly. Didn’t make it to breakfast however, the rooftop restaurant was super pricey for a limited selection of meals. I liked the AC setup where I was able to adjust my room temperature. The hotel is right in the center of grabbing transportation!!! Several restaurants and cafes along the streets. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to others. 😊

Cet hôtel classé 4 étoiles est surcôté. Les chambres sont petites pour 3 personnes. Les salles de bain sont étroites et leur équipement désuets. Pour le reste la piscine et et son équipement sont de très haut niveau. Le personnel à l'accueil est disponible et bienveillant.

Great hotel, excellent staff, good food and great view of the Acropolis of Athens.

Highly cordial staff and amazing rooftops views

Loved the central location. Excellent breakfast buffet and impeccable service, great food and views from the rooftop restaurant. Highly recommend the Stanley!

The view the food and the ambiance!!

A hotel of two halves. The executive rooms are well-appointed and recently updated, the rooftop pool and restaurant are genuinely excellent, and breakfast offers a great selection. Staff throughout were helpful, friendly, and efficient. The executive lounge is beautifully designed but faces a busy roundabout and we never found a reason to use it. The hotel itself is let down in places by tired décor in the common areas, but the bigger issue is the location. Metaxourgeio looks fine on a map but feels unsafe at night — derelict buildings, rough sleepers, and open drug use on the surrounding streets. If you enjoy walking to restaurants and exploring on foot, this is not the base for you. The metro station directly outside the hotel makes getting around easy, but the 20–30 minute walk to Athens’ better neighbourhoods and restaurants is not one we’d recommend after dark. For those happy to metro everywhere, the rooftop alone is worth it. For walkers, look elsewhere.

The hotel was next to a subway station. The staff was great. Rooms were large for Europe. Great rooftop and pool area.

Nice rooftop area, but the pool gets very busy with no where near enough seating. Staff in the bar were inconsistent, we waited 45mins to be delivered a drinks order. Rooms are dated and can be noisy if you are on the floor underneath the restaurant.

Close to Metro Easy to get along

Værelset var gammelt. Ingen badeforhæng. Meget lækker pool hotel. Beliggenhed er ikke speciel god.

They can improve the beds. Otherwise excellent

Excellent services and accommodations.

Hotel was clean, nicely proportioned, staff very friendly and efficient. The rooms are a little small but still lovely. Roof top pool is wonderful as is the restaurant. The gym is functional yet small. Love that it has an outside deck where you can bring your mat and enjoy a fresh air workout.

In addition to an outstanding breakfast buffet, the facility was very clean. The staff provided a place for us to stow our luggage while we waited for our room to be ready. They assisted us in arranging tours that left from the hotel, and helped us find a larger taxi to accommodate our luggage when we left. The pool area was very beautiful, and there seemed to be adequate lounges provided. We chose a Superior Room, which had an extra bed. It was a tight fit for three people, but we managed. I would definitely return to the Stanley Hotel in the future.

The roof top pool and restaurant are lovely and have a view of the Parthenon. Convenient to the metro to get to and from the airport.

The hotel is in a slightly rough around the edges area but it is next to a metro stop, plus you can walk to most of the central areas in about 20 minutes anyway. We had a superior room so this meant breakfast in the upstairs restaurant overlooking the Acropolis...not bad I have to say! It was never too crowded up there, the food was good and well stocked too. Best bit about the hotel though is the rooftop pool of course. Could have stayed there the whole trip! Bar prices are a bit expensive (€9 a pint) especially when compared to the rest of the Athens, but that is the only negative. Rooms were also cleaned very well each day, plus reception dealt with our requests swiftly when needed. Would highly recommend!

Our stay at the Stanley was wonderful however we booked a standard room as we were only staying for one evening. It was clean. It was everything we needed, but it was in an older tower of the complex and I found that the rooms were a little bit noisy, not dreadful people weren’t partying, but noise did wake me throughout the night. I have stayed in the other part of the hotel and noise has never been an issue otherwise no complaints. Staff was wonderful. The breakfast is great and location is wonderful.

The rooftop pool, breakfast area and restaurant make the property a standout. The buffet breakfast has so many top quality options and having breakfast with a view of the city including the Acropolis makes the start of the day so special. We also used the Metro which is just steps outside of the property. A great stay!

Fint poolområde men loungen var inte värt någonting. Vi hade balkong men det fanns inga möbler därför helt oanvändbar.
