Guest Reviews
- James (10/5): - Great location and breakfast. Host was friendly and informative.
- Sarah (2/5): Avoid this hotel - Average hotel in a busy, noisy street. Beds are comfortable but that’s the only positive. Breakfast is depressing. There is no real coffee, just instant coffee or drip from a boiler. The worst thing was the rude guy on reception. I booked on hotels.com which says there is a 24 hour shuttle available. It turns out there is no shuttle - they just mean they’ll book you a taxi. Which is fine - but when I tried to speak to the guy about this, he kept shouting over me and telling me I was wrong. I’ve genuinely never met anyone so rude in the hospitality sector. He had literally zero customer service skills. It all could have been handled politely instead of shouting at me (for a mistake they made).
- Bruce (8/5): Great for the money. - Very good location, simple rooms and amenities. Reasonable price. The staff were very welcoming and helpful.
- Jing Yu (10/5): - Great and safe location, walking distance to most touristy spots. Close to restaurants and dining but still in a quiet location. Great breakfast. Clean room
- Evan (10/5): - I would definitely consider coming back if you're looking for a small, clean room.
- Sharon (10/5): - Very gracious and helpful staff and delicious, abundant Greek breakfast.
- John (10/5): - No frills 3* hotel in great location. We had a small double room with en-suite. Facilities basic but very clean. Decent size bed. Aircon (slightly noisy but guess just not used to it - didn’t need it much anyway at end of May). Free toiletries and coffee making etc in room, fresh towels daily. Small balcony with table and two chairs overlooking the street. Buffet breakfast had wide selection available. All staff very friendly. Excellent central location for exploring all areas of old Athens and main tourist destinations. Metro about 6 minutes walk. We tended to shut the balcony window at night to keep out the street noise, although that varied. Would be very happy to stay again.
- Melissa (10/5): - Clean light, good breakfast
- Abed (4/5): - Bad rooms no windows good place
- anthonyc00000 (2/5): TO AVOID - BOOK ANYWHERE ELSE - If you're looking to travel back in time, this very old hotel in Athens might do the trick; unfortunately, it felt like the last time it was cleaned or renovated was in Ancient Greece. The room I got looked nothing like the photos. Everything from the furniture, curtains, and bed frame were worn and stained, and the antique A/C unit could not keep up with the extreme 40 degree summer heat. To make matters worse, you need to leave your key at the front desk whenever you go out, which cuts the power to the room, turning it into an oven by the time you return. I also found bugs within the room and bathroom several times, and lastly the elevator is so old it was probably designed by Aristotle. I lasted half of my planned stay and checked out early to stay at another hotel. Save yourself the trouble and book literally anywhere else!

- Sarah (8/5): - Thank you - I slept well and the shower was great - high water pressure hot water.
- Diane (6/5): - Spotty internet in the whole hotel and terrible wifi in our room.
- Nancy (8/5): - Hotel between 2 convenient metro stops. Very little space to put clothes if you want to unpack. No dresser drawers, just a shelf. And incredibly noisy all day and late into night! But maybe that is just Athens! View of Acropolis from balcony was nice but you had to put up with loud motorcycles and music if sitting out there. Breakfast is included - lots of choices, both hot and cold. Staff is knowledgeable about transportation options and directions.
- James (10/5): Comfort, location and quantity! - Beautiful hotel with a stunning view of the Acropolis! The room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The hotel is in the heart of many restaurants and shopping! I’m so glad we chose the Carolina!
- Mario (8/5): - Very knowledgeable and helpful staff
- Leisa (10/5): - The hotel was in a great location, walkable to everything. The staff were friendly and helpful.
- Lauren (10/5): - Brilliant hotel in a great location. Staff very friendly and helped with information for the city. Room cleaned every day. Breakfast had a good selection.
- john (10/5): - Shopping
- maissa (8/5): - Short stay but everything was convenient
- Jason (10/5): - Very friendly staff, clean and spacious room with four beds
- Shaffin (10/5): - I would come back to this property in the future and would recommend to friends.
- Cheryl (8/5): - Staff were wonderful except for one instance. Breakfast is awesome…. I don’t like to waste food but had an early tour and did not have enough time to finish plate…. I wrapped up a few small slices of salami and cheese (2 each ) so it would not get wasted. Staff embarrassed me by acting like I was stealing food. It was mortifying. There are cameras watching you as you eat breakfast.
- Justin (10/5): - Excellent location and very friendly staff
- Shenghao (10/5): - The hotel is at a very convenient location in the city center. Close to both Syntagma and Monastiraki squares with lots of excitement. Walk to lots of attractions, such as Acropolis and Ancient Agora. Lots of restaurants closed by even after midnight. The staff are very friendly. 24 hour front desk service makes me feel at ease. Breakfast is nice with good variety. The only drawback is close to a bar with lots of excitement until after midnight. However, I slept well anyway. Enjoy my stay very much.
- sohail (10/5): - Excellent experience
- mena (10/5): - I loved the place and would stay there again. Here is what you should know. Rooms are small and bathrooms are small. So if you are planning to spend time in the room or you’re a big guy, it may not be for you. Other than that, breakfast is great with so much variety. Front desk staff are great, knowledgeable, and are extremely helpful. The room we had was clean, AC works, and gets cleaned everyday. You are close to everything and 2 metro stations, roughly 5 mins walk. I would highly recommend. It’s a very nice hotel in an area with very expensive hotels. Price is great compared to others around. So something has to give and it’s the room and bathroom size.
- Fraser (10/5): - Very welcoming, we were able to check in at 1am with a very tired infant without problem. Delicious breakfasts and fantastic front desk staff. Would highly recommend, and is in a great area of the city
- BASHAR (8/5): - Easy access to the tourism areas
- Z9395KWabis (10/5): Great hotel! - 5/5 really good hotel. Extremely clean and quiet. Felt like we were the only ones in there. Stayed 4 nights, in a small room to start with then upgraded later in the week, absolutely lovely huge executive room. Breakfast was basic but nice. Hotel very central, great location for everything and very friendly helpful staff. Amazing thank you
- Getaway59316421859 (8/5): Very nice tiny hotel. - If it was not for the street noise I would rate this hotel as a 5 * for its cleanliness and nice breakfast (except for the coffee quality), and best of all the friendliness of the staff (specially Anna). The location is great. Definitely will stay there again if the chance is there.
- FRANK (10/5): - They were so nice and helped in every way possible! The breakfast was wonderful.
- Nevo-1238 (8/5): Great location nice hotel - A small and nice hotel. The location is perfect!!! In the middle of the tourist area. The stuff was great. Very helpful and kind. A good nice breakfast. In the room there is a small table and product for coffee, and a refrigerator. The rooms are very small and old, the shower is small. Lots of restaurants and bars nearby. We loved it.
- FarAway325480 (10/5): Great hotel in nice area! - We are fully satisfied with our experience at Carolina hotel: Very friendly reception, clean and contemporary rooms, deletious breakfact, convenient location as all the attractions are nearby. We love our choise, it feets 100% our needs!
- 244nehalr (2/5): Worst experience ever! Please stay away it’s a terrible hotel, quality and stay - Worst experience ever in my whole life. I have used to travel to different countries and stayed at many hotels but had never seen that bad quality and standard. First of all, rooms are very old very bad looking not clean , food is super bad and worst breakfast ever. Second the receptionist ‘Anna’ she is the worst person i had ever dealt with ever, very rude and racist in a direct way. First of all when i booked my stay we booked for 2 adults only as my kids wasn’t traveling with us, then when we arrived we informed another guy that we have the kid and he said it’s fine no problem. The next day that rude lady Anna, she said we need to pay breakfast for the kid , we told her that already the breakfast is very bad and even us won’t go for it , we will pay only the first day despite that the other guy said it’s fine. The whole stay she kept treating us in a very bad way IT ENDED up that she asked us BEFORE THE LAST DAY at 10 am to check out and leave the hotel and GO OUT look for another place. WE WERE LITERALLY SHOCKED!!! I had never witnessed this ever… am really disappointed on the level of standards we had been treated i would consider this as direct DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT .. beside all of this and the low quality we perceived at that hotel.. i would definitely WONT RECOMMEND ANY ONE TO BOOK THIS HOTEL. For the matter of your safety and comfort please go for another option as there are alot in the same area.
- LYacout (2/5): Racist Stuff and not safe - The worst hotel i have ever seen in my whole life! Tiny rooms, terrible food and they cancel your reservation for no reason without prior notice!!!! ANNA is the most racist person in the world! She kicked us out of the hotel before our last night! What a service they provide. Not recommended at all. Stay away from this hotel and avoid them at any cost! This hotel is not safe to stay at! #say_no_to_racism
- Vanda74 (8/5): Very good stay in the heart of Athens! - Spent the weekend with my dear friend E. in Athens for sightseeing, theatre & museums. The location of this Hotel was perfect once it is in the center near all bars, restaurants and Agias Irinis square just 2 minutes away!! The staff very pleasant, specially Alexandros and Alkioni, made us feel as guests in a friendly way. The room was ok, clean. The breakfast was very nice and with quality , and the smiley lady welcoming us every morning was also very nice! the view to the Acropolis from the terrace floor is great! Definitely would choose this Hotel again. Amazing location!
- NancyEvening (8/5): Good standard, perfect location - First impression was quite good. Room was brigt, clean and was waiting for us even before check in hour. There was no heater, but AC was good enough to make the room warm. The stuff is really nice, always willing to help - the reception works 24/7. Breakfasts was fresh, but every day the same. There are even vegan option. I have to mention some details: room has problem with humidity - if you rise temperature to warm the room, it will cause a wet windows. Moreover, there is a clogged drain in the shower and the water leaks under shower train. They clean the room everydays (every day there will be a fresh towels). Very good location!!!
- Ariel (8/5): - Good Hotel, Good brekfast small rooms
- Treasurer Teri (10/5): - Great location. Nice hotel. :)
- RichardMe (6/5): Close by but way to noisy at night - The hotel was close by most of the points of interest to see in Athens. At night was not too pleasant with a bar playing loud music until like 3-4 in the morning. That makes it hard to sleep. The shower was undesirable to bath in it. The breakfast was good for us to start the day.
- Steffie (10/5): Great stay - Great location & comfy beds !
- 862jaredh (10/5): Amazing Hotel in Athens! - We brought our tour group of 24 people here on 2 occasions in September and October of 2021. We were so impressed by the staff! They made the check-in process so easy and were always so friendly. The breakfast was amazing and the rooms were all super clean and modern. I honestly cannot believe any of the other negative reviews on here as the hotel really was in perfect condition for all 24 of us. Nobody had any complaints and the location was perfect, right near Monastariki. The rooftop also has a cool vibe with tables and chairs to bring up food and drinks. We will happily use this hotel from now on when traveling to Athens!
- magdalinosc (2/5): Poor management service and rooms not as advertised and sold - Booked the hotel for 4 night on a business trip to Athens Booked the room via booking.com Where you had the option for a double or twin. I chose a double bed option and send a request too. They replied back with the formal email that it is upon availability. I arrived at the hotel and at check in I ask if I got a double bed and the lady at the reception confirmed that I did. I go to sleep only to find out that there were two single beds without a pop layer to join them I could not sleep at all all night I reported to reception from n the morning together with the fact that the safe was not bolted in the wall so could literally could take it and walk out and that the toilet paper holders were hanging loose on the wall They said they will report the matters to the management and get back to me. On the second day they fix the bed but I go back to the room and the cleaning ladies had removed one of the two sets of towels although the room was booked as double occupancy. I met reception manager on the third day and when I ask him what he would do to rectify the siti on he said that he did not know and had to ask whoever was higher at which point I lost the plot and I started yelling at him as it is so unprofessional to be a manager and not give a solution three days later. I have to point out that the ladies at the reception were super nice and helpful the manager though has no idea what management is. Also I will point out that the reception ladies confirmed that there are no actual double beds in the hotel except the suite. Finaly they refunded the money and I changed hotel
- Don (10/5): - Great staff. Great service
- Verified traveler (10/5): - From the very moment I met the front desk receptionist, Haris, to my encounter with each of the housekeeping staff, my experience was absolutely wonderful. The Greeks are a welcoming people and, this hotel staff was proof of that.
- RobertaZ (10/5): - Excellent location. Comfy rooms! Clean quiet area even if on first floor facing street!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Overall a good stay and great location! Upon check The lovely woman who was very helpful with dining recommendations and how to get sites via train. Rooftop had somewhat of a view of the Acropolis and was lovely to sit in the morning. It was a bit chilly and our room heat was in need of repair ... they are working on this room as i write. Beds and pillows were comfy , hot showering was great ... although shower curtain could have been lower so the water doesn’t go out on to floor in bathroom
- Bogdan (8/5): - The hotel has a perfect location for exploring Athens. All the staff is very friendly and welcoming.
- Young (4/5): - There was very old style of elevator, but a quite good location to the city center.
- Dana (6/5): - I liked that the hotel is centrally located, I didn't like the hotel's condition and the tiny room size.
- Margaret (8/5): Centrally located hotel near Acropolis - Conveniently located near both popular Monastiriki and Plaka areas, and just a few minutes walk from ancient ruins, including the Acropolis. We had a rooftop "garden" room on the 5th floor, which were NOT accessible via the elevator (only goes to the 4th floor). Word of advise: Pack a light suitcase, as you will have to haul your bags up the last flight of (steep) stairs. Front desk woman who checked us in was delightful. Front desk man was cranky. Our room was clean, but other hotel guests congregated at night outside our room to party, so that was annoying. It would've been better if we had a room on a lower floor.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good central location and deluxe room was large with great balcony. Staff were helpful. We had booked a roof garden room but this wasn’t available when we checked in. However the lift does not reach those rooms so we avoided taking suitcases up a flight of stairs:)
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This hotel was within walkable distance to most attractions and many restaurants.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Check in was great, clean place and helpful staff. Although i booked a twin and got a double, the receptionist offered me a room swap. Although I declined, as the double had a view on roof terrace. Bad points - a large group of loud young guests on the terrace until 3am when I had to resort to asking them to be quiet - dissapointing the staff didn't intervene to discourage such behaviour!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely Nice staff Great location Besttttttttttttttttt
- Antony (10/5): Excellent location and accommodation - Great location. Extremely comfortable bed. Clean room. Great service
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Loved the location, there is variety of restaurants near by and stygmata square was just a couple of streets from it. The room was clean roomy and cold A/C. The receptionists were both very nice and helpful.
- Dionicia (8/5): Comfort at Hotel Carolina - Very happy with hotel staff, large, clean balcony, happy with lift and stairs easy to climb, short walk to Syntagma Square and Monasteraki Noisy as bar next to hotel, however large room and bed very comfortable so I would be happy to stay again
- Chetan (6/5): Good price, location but lacks facilities, comfort - Good price, great location but beds were not comfortable, hotel is old, lift/elevator is at least 50+ years old. It was noisy as one can hear everything from reception and also incoming and outgoing guests and noise due to elevator.
- Joe (8/5): - It is near Monastiraki train station which is very nice but it can be noisy at night due to presence of probably bars or entertainment facilities nearby. Our room facing the street on first floor was an upgrade because it was my birthday when we check-in. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I had a beautiful, corner room. Hotel is located right in the middle of downtown, near everything. Modern, very functional. Breakfast good. Hotel very clean, modern interior of rooms, bathroom excellent, huge balconies on 4th floor.
- Eustaquio (8/5): Good!!! - Ok for the price. Conveniently located.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Ideal location in Plaka. Charming old school elegance with a wrought iron elevator and a marble grand staircase. Our balcony gave us a view of the street activity. Plenty of things to see and places to eat within a close walking distance.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice central hotel - Nice hotel in a central location. Didn't expect much but was really nice for a basic type hotel. Rooms were nice and beds were really comfortable. Friendly staff. Breakfast was basic but what you would expect in europe. Would stay here again.
- Gerry (10/5): City centre location. - Great looking location. Monastiraki, my favourite part of Athens.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Walls are very thin. We could hear people walking along the corridor on the way to their room. Bathroom was tight. Room for three was very tight - literally no space for two pieces of luggage. The faucet lever was oversized so that whenever you bent over to wash your face, the lever would literally poke one of your eyes out. The safety box was movable - that one puzzled me - why have a safety box if someone can just go in the room and lift it and take it away?
- Don (6/5): - Good location but poor shower.
- Diana (8/5): - Hotel was clean and was very well located. Close to main attractions and the subway. A lot of cafes and restaurants close by as well...we had a toddler with us and the noise level that others have complained about didn’t bother us ( our room was located on the 2nd floor).
- Maria (10/5): Great night - Everything was perfect. A lovely stay. Staff were very helpful.
- Ezz (8/5): - A very clean and friendly hotel but quite 'basic'. Entrance Lobby could do with up-date. Very convenient for all central areas. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Located on narrow one-way street, traffic (noise and amount) was a problem - but that's Athens not the Hotel!
- Bonnie (8/5): Rooms - Great little hotel for the money. Excellent location in Plaka District. Recommend getting roof garden room which has direct access to large patio area.
- Margalit (10/5): Nice and comfortable - The rooms are very comfortable, the stuff helpful and friendly. The breakfast was excellent, with a number of local dishes. I would recommend it to those who prefer the city center for their stay in Kalamata.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect week in the very center of Athens - I have been there 8 nights and everything worked smoothly. The hotel is in a very great location. The rooms are cleaned every day and with new towels. The personnel is very friendly and helped us on everything we needed. I will certainly go back to this hotel if back to Athens.
- ran (10/5): Nice, clean with fantastic location - Very nice big rooms and perfect location
- Lance (8/5): Party hotel - Very noisy till 2am with music and people from the bar next door and car alarms going off frequently. Everything else was good.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel close to attractions - We stayed 4 nights here in a room on the first floor (it's really the second floor). The room was clean and shower was hot. We had a balcony that over looked the street and wrapped around the room. There are many restaurants in the neighbourhood, which can be heard late into the night. The front desk was friendly and courteous.
- Debra (8/5): Lovely room but expensive - We stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms on the 4th floor and it was lovely with a nice view of the Acropolis between buildings.Breakfast was very ordinary, given the cost of the room. There was very little to choose from and what was there was a little stale. Hair dryer in room did not work
- Paul (8/5): Hotel is ok, but there are better choices - The location is in downtown Athens in the Monestraki district. The hotel has been updated, and our room was nice, and clean enough. We had a large shared balcony on the 5th floor. I'm not sure there is any building code in Athens? The elevator does not have an inner door, and this would not have been acceptable since elevators came into service. The elevator also does reach the top / 5th floor, so you have haul your luggage up the stairs.
- Lynne (10/5): Nice hotel near the tourist areas of Athens. - We've stayed at Hotel Carolina many times over the years and have always had a good experience. The rooms are clean, but a bit small however we don't spend much time in them. It is a short work to Monastiraki, the Plaka, and not far to the Acropolis. The staff has always been helpful.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Centrally located. Close to two metro stations. - Overall experience at this hotel was good. We had breakfast included which was handy given it was our first morning in Athens and had a full day planned.
- Allyn (10/5): Carolina star quality hotel - Fantastic central location to see all the major attractions. Easy access to the trains. Great restaurants and bars a short stroll from the hotel same street. Would stay here again when next in athens. Wonderful staff who clean your room, so neat and tidy. thankyou.
- Sharon (8/5): Nice, clean and modern central hotel - Carolina hotel was a last minute booking for us found by expedia staff with nothing else available for our stay in that area (they were replacing a previously booked hotel) When we initially saw the hotel photos and what was on offer we weren't at all excited about our arrival but we were very pleasantly surprised! The photos advertised for Carolina do it no justice at all, the signage and entrance are quite basic but the rooms are modern, clean and with nice toiletries on offer and tea/coffee facilities and a nice basic breakfast ($6euro if not included). The rooms are serviced daily. Don't base your stay on the advertised photos, we had room #s 404 and 405 and they were really great! Very comfortable bedding with a distant view of the acropolis from room 405. Central location, we were able to walk to all the tourist locations, shops and eateries. We'd definitely recommend and stay at Carolina again.
- Liz (8/5): very good location and price - excellent location in athens, close to metro, close to bus from and to airport. also walking distance to acropolis , plaka and monastiraki. the rooms are small but functional, very clean. we had rooftop rooms that were very quiet. the AC worked. nice continental breakfast included in our booking. the staff were helpful. our rooms were ready before noon, there is also a place to leave luggage after check out.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Quaint, clean hotel close to Monastiraki Square - The hotel was very clean with friendly staff. Location was close to the metro and one of the main squares. A few food options nearby recommended by the front desk were very good. The only negative for me is that there was loud music (possibly karaoke?) nearby that started later in the evening and continued late into the night/morning. Although it didn't seem very close to the hotel, we were facing the street, and as a light sleeper, it made it difficult to fall asleep. If you're looking to stay out later, this shouldn't be a problem though.
- Sofia (10/5): Good Hotel - Room was very clean ,stuff polite and helpful,they let us check in at 10 am even though the check in is supposed to be 2 pm
- Jean Granrt (6/5): kind staff but room was small - The room faced a noisy street and seem overpriced--but then I'd just come from a lovely much more reasonable hotel in Piraeus and others in the islands. Maybe location determined the price and the location was fab.
- Melissa (4/5): Great staff but disappointing rooms - This hotel was in a great location; however, the rooms were extremely tiny and the bathrooms did not see, clean enough.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Pretty cool, in good condition - a bit noise at night - loud music from restaurant down the street
- Verified traveler (6/5): Good location, if nothing else. - The location of this hotel is great, if you want to be close to the city centre. However, it has very little else going for it. The room is very basic, but clean. Likewise the bathroom. However, there is no hook for the shower head, so you have to either hold it at all times, or turn the power down and rest it on the taps, hoping it doesn't flood the bathroom. However, the biggest problem for me was the amount of cigarette smoke around the place. The cleaner's cupboard was almost directly opposite my room and stank of cigarettes. Then, during the day the staff seem to just sit in the breakfast room smoking. All day. I'm asthmatic, so this was far from ideal. There is noise as well as the hotel is right on a busy street and a bar right next door. This didn't bother me quite so much though as I was out late enough that I slept through it. I didn't have the breakfast. The reception staff were really friendly and helpful, though.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Good location, but loud - Free live music... courtesy of the bar below... till ~3am on weekends... don't plan on sleeping- it's loud! Room had a few broken things, but the staff was very friendly and the location is fairly central.
- Antonios (2/5): Very uncomfortable beds - Staff is good and polite, location is great. Bathrooms are moldy and showers don't hook up for a comfortable shower. Bed mattresses are cheap and very hard while foot board prevents taller persons to rest their feet (see pictures)
- oaktown (4/5): I've had worse - It wasnt terrible, terrible but a less than average room which is why it received an overall rating of 2. The trip happened a half a year ago so I remember the either the sink or toilet leaked ( I forget which). I remember thinking to myself that the part needed to be fixed. This room was right over the hotel front desk in the 1st floor as you got out of the elevator. We spent one night here so we figured it wouldn't matter. Having said that I probably wouldn't come back or would have spent more money for the other rooms. Location is nice.
- Jeasica (10/5): - an amazing stay. highly RECOMMEND this hotel - great location!
- Javier & Olga (6/5): Nice atmosphere, great location. - This hotel's location is fantastic. It's surrounded by restaurants, bars, the square, and Plaka which is great. The atmosphere around the hotel is really nice. It's safe to walk around at night. It is walking distance from the Acropolis.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Convinient spacious and clean. Great personnel and hospitable
- Michael (10/5): Excellent and very convenient hotel. - A very light, pleasant and comfortable room. A few minutes walk from Monastiraki Station which connects to Piraeus and to the airport. Very efficient air conditioning. Good choice of breakfast for 6 Euros. Reception staff was extremely pleasant and helpful.
- Doug (8/5): Handy to the centre of Athens. - Enjoyed our stay, but would have been great to have a room with a window with a view.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Ok for party animals. - Too noisy. Was not able to sleep.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location, very central. Metro station and lots of attractions are approx. 10 min walk from the hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were small (but we expected this as rooms tend to be on the small side in Europe). Great value
