Excellent

Ideal for one night stay almost opposite train station.
Search “largo pizza” for lovely pizza restaurant round corner from here.

The hotel was 2 min away from the train station which coast 1.20 euro and 15 minutes from the city (both by train and Uber) were all the stores and attractions are. An Uber coast between 4 and 6 euros. The reason I gave the hotel a 3 star review was because of the smell of the room and how uncomfortable the bed was. It smelled like old cigarettes and bad breath. The bed was basically on the floor with 2 pillows total and the bed was so hard my back and head hurt every day. If your in Athens for a day and your going to be exploring the city all day then this would be an ok option, but I feel there could be better options near by.

For 2 young boys from Canada traveling around Europe this place had everything we needed. Bathroom wasn’t anything special but worked. The two twin beds were perfect for the two of us and it was nice being able to walk everywhere. There’s no where in Athens you can’t walk in less then 30 minutes. Overall it was a good stay for the money

The property was great but the receptionist, Sydney, made us feel so welcomed and gave great recommendations! In addition, she was helpful in answering our questions, reserving taxis, and providing great customer service.

All staff were friendly and helpful. I stayed at fifth floor and I had water pressure problem for showering after complaining. They immediately change my room. New room was much bigger and better shower size wear super tiny Internet speed was OK but choppy shower water just was warm and the size of TV was so small.

The bathroom was very old and the shower very rusty. We were there only for 1 night, next to the train station.

Selected for proximity to Larissa Station - therefore airport - and didn’t disappoint. Economical option four metro stops from Syntagma. Clean room, comfortable and helpful staff. Extended stay by a night and would book there again when back in Athens.

The two beds were pushed together to make a double but there was no layer on top so it was very uncomfortable, the mattress was super thin and so were the pillows. The place was very outdated. staff were friendly though

Property was OK. The first night we saw a small cockroach in our room. The bathroom was tiny, especially the shower. Smokers and non-smokers are put in rooms next to one another, so all rooms are smoke filled. Location is very convenient with the Larissa Metro and suburban railway station just two minutes away. We didn't need a car. Most tour services buses pick up from Larissa. Overall we were satisfied.
4.0 / 5.0
Good location next to subway station. Bed was like sleeping on a board
1.5 / 5.0
You get What you pay for. Cheep rooms but also a very run down hotel. Beds were like sleeping on rocks but the worst thing was the cigarette smell that covered the room. Nice personal though.
The reason we booked it was the price in combination that we would just stay a couple of hours.
4.0 / 5.0
Friendly and helpful staff (including cleaning ladies). Front door of room could be more secure as there are gaps
4.0 / 5.0
Room was comfortable and great value for money. Staff friendly and helpful. My only negative is the wifi. Signal strength was most times very weak and affects my remote work.
3.0 / 5.0
budget hotel, but costly for the space of the room
2.0 / 5.0
I picked this hotel only because it's conveniently located near Athens Train Station. If you want to stay near popular tourist spots like Acropolis or Plaka, then this is not a good choice as there's nothing exciting near the hotel. Also breakfast is not offered at the moment and room and bathroom comfort is just average and shoukd be rated as a 2-star hotel.

The road outside turns into a race track at night. It’s very noisy and I was unable to sleep most nights. There were also problems with a man yelling downstairs, as well as a staff member that likes to play their guitar from 2-4AM

5.0 / 5.0
Close to the main Train station and also Metro station. Most of the places are within 10” travel by metro.
Only issue is the noise of the traffic before 10pm if one wants to sleep early bt can b minimized by closing the glass window.
Value for money as well.

2.5 / 5.0
A fantastic view of the city and neighborhood; fantastic woman in the morning, who let us keep some of our gear there for a week while we went hiking, where we will return and stay there again. Room was clean, AC, hot showers, great balcony, lots of food options, and giant grocery within a 4 minute walk. Cafe and bar and restaurant is apparently closed because of covid.
