Guest Reviews

• Tamuna (10/5): - The apartment is in a perfect location, right on the central street. However, those sensitive to noise should be aware that it’s always lively and can get quite noisy. The price and quality match perfectly — the apartment has everything you need, and the host is very attentive and client-oriented. I recommend this place for anyone who doesn’t mind some noise and wants to stay on a fun, vibrant street.
• ΖΗΝΑ (7/5): -
• Victoria (1/5): It was a nightmare. Never again. - There were brown stains on the furniture, the air conditioner barely worked, some lights didn’t work, the water pressure in the shower was poor and the hallways outside the room smelled like sewage.
• Andonis (9/5): -
• Σπύρος (3/5): - Τις πρώτες μέρες δεν είχαμε σεντόνια να σκεπαστούμε, μας έφεραν μετά από πολλά τηλεφωνήματα. Το κλιματιστικό χάλασε την 2η μέρα και μετά από πολλά τηλεφωνήματα δεν κατέστη δυνατό να έρθει κάποιος να το επισκευάσει. Για 5 μέρες δεν είχαμε κλιματιστικό.
• Yelizaveta (3/5): - Struttura situata al centro di Monastriaki, comodo per visitare diversi punti e non è lontana dalla metro. La descrizione che viene fornita sul sito non rispecchia la struttura, eravamo due persone, e ci hanno dato solo asciugamaniper una persona. nonostante avessi richiesto altri, la mia richiesta non è stata calcolata. Il wi-fi ha avuto problemi per tutto il soggiorno solo la sera prima di partire hanno risolto. La piccola cucina non è fornita di chissà quali utensili come viene descritto.
• HIFUNA (3/5): - 立地 広さ Wi-Fiが繋がらない エアコンがきかない 洗面所の床に手洗いソープが流れ出ていて不衛生
• Maria (6/5): -
• sophia (1/5): - waited 2 hours for someone to come and open. when they did the place wasn’t even clean yet.
• Ντινα (5/5): - Χρειζεται επειγον αλλαγη a/c και ανακαινηση
• Daniele (1/5): Scegliete un altro appartamento - La posizione strategica Il check-in è stato a dir poco terribile, l’indirizzo di Booking e quello effettivo non coincidevano, l’host dopo essere stato chiamato, si è dimostrato poco disponibile ad aiutarci, una volta trovato l’indirizzo c’erano tantissimi lockers sebbene lui continuasse a sostenere ce ne fossero solo 2, quindi abbiamo dovuto provarli tutti. Una volta entrati in appartamento abbiamo constatato non fosse pulito, nella doccia c’erano capelli, le stoviglie (che non erano abbastanza per 2) erano sporche e sia lenzuola che federe erano macchiate. In aggiunta alla sporcizia non c’era l’acqua calda e per 2 giorni abbiamo fatto docce fredde, al nostro messaggio l’host non ha mai risposto.
• Jorge (6/5): -
• Skylana (4/5): Good location but very dirty - The location was amazing The ac barely worked and they place was quite dirty. Hair in the shower from previous people and they only left half a roll of toilet paper so we had to buy some. It was just over all not clean.
• Μαριαννα (10/5): -
• Μαριαννα (10/5): Τέλεια περιοχή - Η περιοχή ήταν τέλεια μεγάλο δωμάτιο για δύο άτομα Δεν είχε ζεστό νερό στο μπάνιο
• Isabella (10/5): Loved the location - This is the absolute best location to stay in Athens. We were in the heart of everything. Just a 2 minute walk from our favorite Gyro spot Meat The Greeks! We had an amazing time staying here and even the Acropolis and Parthenon were a mere 15 minute walk. Amazing thank you
• Faith (10/5): Great location very safe area close to everything you need in Athens - Great location. Nothing.
• Yara (7/5): Good - The location os vert strategic. The apartment is relatively spacious. The toilet is so tight and uncomfortable.
• Ornela (10/5): Exceptional - The house was in a prime location on the main street of the most famous alley in Athens. The house was simple and beautiful and had everything you needed. Not to mention the price, which is very affordable and very economical.
• Anastasios (10/5): Excellent location -
• Ioanna (1/5): Worst vacation - Nothing The room was NOT CLEAN. There was mold everywhere in the bathroom smelling very bad. The communication with the host was not helpful at all. I left from there because they could not help me with staying somewhere else and they said that I will get full refund which Im trying to do 5 days now and none is helping
• Vasos (6/5): Pleasant -
• Stavrou (5/5): A1 for location only - Location is perfect The apartment is self catered The bed is terribly uncomfortable. The mattress springs feel like they're sticking into your body. The flooring needs to be attended to. A paint job would be as good idea.
• Jennifer (1/5): Need to close and renovate to meet safety standards - Location Dirty, dated
• Augoustinos (9/5): Superb -
• Karim (1/5): avoid - The studio is old and dirty. the bathroom is beyond redemption and must be redone completely. If you read this, take this advice as you would take it from a friend: find somewhere else
• Lora (3/5): Miserable - Location was good. The aircon was useless. Was SOOO HOT couldn’t sleep at all very uncomfortable and not very clean, empty vapes by the bed, no soap in the soap dispenser in the shower. Building was sketchy… would not recommend at all.
• Gordon (3/5): Poor - Location Moldy, smelly bathroom. Air conditioner did not cool the room. Lack of kitchen utensils/ crockery
• Debbie (8/5): Best area - Location was fantastic Reception area, very dark & dingy Bathroom although new looked mouldy & was smelly Weak air-conditioning
• Chris (1/5): DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTY. IT’S A SCAM. - DO NOT BOOK THIS PROPERTY. IT’S A SCAM. The owner never provided me with the lockbox code no matter how many times I contacted him. Around 15:30 he called me and said that they cannot accommodate me due to a technical issue. I asked him to report this to booking so I can get my money back and he said that the only way was for me to inform the booking and they will contact him to return the amount, something that he will do. After this he is not replying back to either booking or me refusing in this way to reimburse the money back. I was left in a foreign country without accommodation, rushing to find somewhere else to stay and with booking to not take any responsibility on this apart from asking me repeatedly to contacts the property. They are keep having him on their site.
• Lucy (1/5): Bad -
• Tomasz (10/5): I recommend the host - My stay in Ermou was a bit complicated. After arriving at the place, it turned out that there was an electrical problem in the room. I called the owner. The problem could not be fixed quickly. We were offered a room in another hotel for the same price. The room we booked was ok. But we spent about an hour there. And then we were moved somewhere else. So we are happy. Because they took care of us and did not just refund the money and cancel the reservation. And sometimes it happens. I rate the host and hotel staff first and foremost, and the room second. In Ermou's room there is a very small bathroom
• Tania (5/5): Passable - Great location Bathroom was disgusting and full of mould
• Stavros (2/5): Very poor -
• Honti (4/5): Disappointing -
• Christia (6/5): Pleasant -
• Nele (6/5): Comfortable apartment in the centre of Athens - Huge bright apartment, cozy and pretty. The location is perfect (directly at the shopping mall in the centre of Athens) Communication with the hotel was a desaster because they thought we had booked another apartment at a different location. WIFI did not work. Water was cold until we turned on the boiler without instructions. Very thin walls and windows, really noisy the whole night.
• Darla (8/5): Very good - My reservation was for two beds and we had only one bed
• Katerina (4/5): Unacceptable to be that dirty but could have fun. - I couldn’t find the locker and I called , both the guy on the phone and the guy that came very helpful and polite and helped check in. It has two big beds and a couch and there are no neighbours so you can be as loud as you want. Ideal to go with friends. Great location. It is really really dirty, we found dirt and hair in the toilet, it was smelling bad from mold, in the main area it was everywhere dusty, under the beds you could find stuff from previous people and it was actually like it has never been cleaned
• Marsida (1/5): terrible. check the photos - good location • terrible toilet, there were no tiles at all • dangerous, out of sanitary hygiene • the boiler of the shower was inside the wardrobe and there was water dripping from it all the time. • damp walls • the worst place i have ever stayed
• Tamir (7/5): Good -
• Haya (6/5): Pleasant -
• Marni (5/5): Passable - Location was ideal Host did not provide check in details until 4 hours after contact, finding the property was extremely difficult
• Dsreis (8/5): Very good - The localization of the Room is the best, is close to most of historical/interest sites and at the same time is near of the Airport Bus Station and metro Station.
• Anonymous (7/5): Good value and amazing location. Big space - Yes Didn’t smell fresh. Overall good value
• Eihab (10/5): Exceptional - Location
• Eihab (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mimi (1/5): Well-located sauna with rats for company - The location is great and the general layout of the flat is as depicted - if you get flat 2. Flat 1 has one bed less than showed in the picture. So it is sort of a lottery. We did not appreciate the rats scurrying and squealing over the ceiling all night, or the strong smell of rats and cigarette smoke. The extremely ineffective air-conditioning was also not to our liking. Being ignored by the host when writing to them was also unpleasant. First whad to call to get the code for the lockbox with the keys at check-in time and again to get the wifi code. After unpacking and showering we were told to move apartments because the host made a mistake. We asked for compensation for the change, the poor aircon, the smell and the rats and requested to cancel the remaining two or three nights out of four. Everything was ignored in writing and rejected on the phone with endless promises that we would receive a response soon. We ended up leaving anyway and found a clean functional place with really good aircon at the same price. But that means we ended up paying almost double for accommodation.
• Joaquín (4/5): Disappointing - Despite the previous info, there is not WIFI in the room. This makes the stay very uncomfortable. The location is excellent. The room is old, but big. The communication with the property was very difficult. They do not answer messages. The room was only available later than the check in hour. We had to wait outside. The place is old and a bit destroyed. There is a very noisy nest of pigeons right in the roof.
• Ashley (8/5): Very good - Great aircon, good location. Bathroom door didn’t fully seal the entrance, had gap at the bottom and it smelt a little in there but it didn’t stink out rest of apartment so no biggie. Also kitchen needs kitchen towel or a drying rack because there isn’t a way to dry off dishes after washing them.
• Roberto (4/5): Mediocre value for money - Location near the Acropolis Bathroom; cleanliness; body didn't reply to our request
• Henriette (5/5): Passable - Location is excellent. Room was clean. Price was good. Main issue was that the bathroom door did not fully close off the bathroom, it was a saloon style door with large gaps at top and bottom. This meant that in room shared by 5, every time someone used the bathroom the whole room shared the sounds and smell. Check in was also not ready at 3pm.
• Aleksandra (9/5): Nice apartament in perfect location - Apartament is located in the heart of Athens- its impossible to find better location if you want sightsee the city. Acropolis is just 10/15 minute away by walk, its also so close to Plaka and Monastiraki, around the Apartament there are lots of shops bars and restaurants. Location is 10/10. Flat looks exactly like in the Pictures so if you like it it is what you will have. flat inside is very tidy and well kept.Beds are comfortable. A lot of towels are also a plus. The enterance and stairs arent clean( but I think it's not in the hands of owners)
• Sofia (9/5): very helpful people !!! organized - The location is amazing N/A
• Achrysanthie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Arancha (1/5): worst experience ever. They didn’t provided the check in instructions. we had to stay 1 hour in the street and when they - NOTHING worst experience ever
• Ulrich (2/5): For the tough only - Location in the heart of downtown I would recommend this apartment to those who match the following criteria combined: - people who don’t mind uncertainty (no detail given in advance on how to get the key, e-mail not answered, no indications in which of the seven key boxes the key might be, three calls needed to fix the problem) - people who like the life on water (floor is seriously damaged due to being soaked with water pouring out constantly at numerous spots) - people who lost their sense of smelling (persistent bad smell due to the water damaged floor) - people who don’t like to cook by themselves (kitchen heavily underequipped) - people who like live music (street musicians who still play ‚Blowin‘ in the wind’) - people who look for a place in the vibrant heart of downtown (but nothing else) Fun fact: the lousy reception was brought up in several feedbacks but there seems to be no ambition to improve that. Others complained about no indications given regarding the WIFI which is true. Pro hint: check at the bottom of the router. Still others talked about the tiny bathroom, but so far nobody mentioned the really dirty elevator (here you go). On arrival one of two elevators was already out of order. On the day of deparure, the second one. So we had to carry our luggage down from third floor. Only highlight: we didn't get stuck. Being frequent travelers we were rarely (or should I say ‚never’?) ever so happy to move on…
• Andreas (7/5): Good - Location Not so clean
• Charalampidou (8/5): Very good -
• Ofer (7/5): was the right thing we needed for 2 days - the location is super simple studios that can handle us ( couple plus 4 small kids ) Realy small place
• Stefanos (10/5): Exceptional -
