Athinaikon Athens

"Well worth the price. Very central to the Acropolis and the main museums.\nThe rooms, although on the small size, are presented very clean, beds and bathrooms done each day.\nThe staff are truly amazing.\nThe breakfast up on the 4th floor will be missed. A buffet of cakes and croissants with self-serve coffee is followed by eggs and sausages or salads made to order.\nThis hotel is well worth considering."

"I initially hesitated to write a review for this hotel but our last night, or rather check out in the morning, pushed me to do so. We stayed at this hotel for four nights, and the first two nights were incredibly uncomfortable due to a malfunctioning air conditioner that made sleep nearly impossible. The manager, Nick, refused to change our room, insisting that the air conditioner was working. However, withe temperature reaching 30 degrees Celsius inside and 35 degrees outside, it was clear that something was wrong, especially since we couldn't open the windows. By the way, there were available rooms at this hotel.\nThe following day, Nick finally moved us to a different floor, but we received the same type of room, and once again, the air conditioning was ineffective. I had to soak the bed sheet in water just to get some sleep. Nick dismissed our concerns and didn't want to listen to our complains. If you find yourselves in rooms 202 or 302, I recommend checking the air conditioning beforehand.\nBy the next morning, my patience had worn thin. I didn't travel 10,000 miles to endure discomfort on my vacation. Thankfully, after speaking with the owner, the air conditioning was finally fixed. George, who was very helpful and pleasant, deserves five stars for his assistance and is the reason I initially refrained from writing a negative review. However, on our last day, as we were checking out, we received this breakfast-to-go (picture included below), which added to my disappointment. It only included a juice box and a sandwich, which was just thrown into the bag. By the way, their breakfast is very delicious but we only ate there once, even though the breakfast was included in the price."

"Disappointing Stay – Not Worth the Price\n\nI rarely leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with this hotel. From the moment I entered the room, I was shocked by how incredibly small it was — barely enough space to move around the bed. It felt more like a storage closet than a hotel room.\n\nThe smell in the room was awful and lingering — a mix of mustiness and something unpleasant I couldn’t quite place. Definitely not what you want when you’re trying to relax or sleep.\n\nTo make matters worse, there was no window with access to natural light, which made the room feel even more claustrophobic and gloomy. It honestly felt more like a basement than a hotel room.\n\nWhat made it even worse was that the room was wildly overpriced for what was offered. I expected at least basic comfort at that rate, but it was far from worth the money.\n\nThe only redeeming quality was the homemade omelette served at breakfast — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Sadly, a good omelette doesn’t make up for a bad night's stay.\n\nOverall, I would not recommend this hotel. Save your money and stay somewhere that offers both comfort and value."
