We've just returned home from a week's stay at this hotel. Generally, had a very good stay, for a budget hotel. We stayed in a budget ground floor double room, which had everything we needed and plenty space, including free water in the mini fridge, hairdryer and much needed Aircon. Towels and bins were changed every day for us. There was also a little balcony. The hotel itself was very clean and tidy, although the main reception often did smell like cigarette smoke as the main door being open mostly all afternoon would have smokers standing right outside, but, nothing that can be done about that. The top floor had a lovely outdoor terrace where breakfast was served every morning and had a great view of Athens and the acropolis. Shout out to the staff member in charge of breakfast, she was great to chat to! Breakfast was always good, plenty of variety, my favs in particular were the orange cake and Greek yogurt with honey! The reception staff were always pleasant and friendly too. It's worth mentioning the hotel is on a rather steep hill, and reached by either stairs or a step incline road, bit of a work out in 30 degree heat but not unmanageable as long as you're in decent health. The only issue we had at all during our stay overall was on 1 night we came back to find our balcony door had been left open all day, presumably by a cleaner and unfortunately had let all the flies and bugs in... other than that we had a very pleasant stay and would absolutely stay again. The neighborhood of Exarcheia is a lively young alternative kind of place, lots of cool bars and cafes open late and the area is buzzing in the evening with people enjoying a drink and socialising. We felt safe overall. Highly recommend this hotel as a great budget hotel!
