- Αθανάσιος (3/5): - Η τοποθεσία Το δωμάτιο που μας έδωσαν δεν είχε καμία απολύτως σχέση με τις φωτογραφίες του δωματίου που υποτίθεται κλείσαμε.
Στενόχωρο με λεκέδες στους τοίχους και γενικότερα κακοσυντηρημένο.
Η πολυκατοικία και το δωμάτιο μύριζαν έντονα σκόρδο όλη μέρα προφανώς από τα καταστήματα εστίασης που βρίσκονται στο ισόγειο.
Πέρα από αφρόλουτρο δεν υπήρχε καμία άλλη παροχή. Υπήρχε καφετιέρα αλλά όχι κάψουλες!
- Roger (1/5): A fuir - Rien Tout
- Justine (6/5): - Confortable bed, practical location Not a hotel, no reception, no staff, just a buidling with rooms...
Person handing the keys doesn't speak English.
Breakfast in the café next to the hotel with late opening hours (8h Mo-Fri, 9h Sa-Su)

- Ifigeneia (8/5): - Η τοποθεσία ήταν πολύ βολική και κοντά σε πολλά μαγαζιά και στάση μετρό!! Η επικοινωνία με το κατάλυμα ήταν πολύ καλή!!
Η θέα στο Λυκαβηττό ήταν πολύ όμορφη!! Το κρεβάτι άνετο!! Το δωμάτιο είχε τα απολύτως απαραίτητα μέσα.. δεν διαθέτει σίδερο και ενώ έχει καφετιέρα και βραστήρα, δεν παρεχουν νερό για τους πελάτες, αλλά ούτε και κάψουλες καφέ έστω για την πρώτη μέρα διαμονής. Επίσης, ενώ στις παροχές υπήρχαν παντόφλες, δεν είχε το δωμάτιο. Τέλος, η ντουζιέρα είχε σε αρκετά σημεία μούχλα και αυτό δεν ήταν ιδιαίτερα ευχάριστο. Πιστεύω ότι με λίγη προσπάθεια αυτά διορθώνονται όμως :)
- AISENOUR (10/5): Θα ήθελα να ξαναέρθω σύντομα. - Ζήσαμε μια άριστη εμπειρία διαμονής στο κέντρο της Αθήνας. Η θέα από τα παράθυρα του δωματίου ήταν άψογη. Η καθαριότητα ήταν αψεγάδιαστη. Το προσωπικό ήταν φιλικό και ευγενικό.
- Bente (7/5): -
- Μανώλης (10/5): Φαντάστηκα - Πολύ καλό δωμάτιο, καθαρό, σε πολύ καλή προσιτή περιοχή. Ευγενικοί άνθρωποι άμεση ανταπόκριση στις τηλεφωνικές κλήσεις Όλα ήταν καλά
- lori101 (10/5): - Loved the location, close to transportation and all the attractions. We were mostly walking on foot and taking the train/bus for long distance. Clean sheets, clean ambiance. Beautiful city views, my husband and I really loved it. The staff and management were wonderful and very helpful! Thank you
- Giorgos (10/5): - Καθαριότητα τοποθεσία τιμη Αψογο
- Moreno (10/5): -

- Piet (9/5): - Good comfortable room, close to the metro. Busy area but also nice parks. The shower was a bit fresh.
- Gary (6/5): - Wifi was not working, after raising this issue my messages were ignored as they knew I would be gone the next morning. Easier to ignore messages than fix the problem. I was there for work and had to make important calls in a noisy cafe. Not very professional.
- Michael (5/5): hotel. ??? - Nice comfortable bed. Slept well. Air-conditioning 100 % . Poor Internet signal. Cleaner didn't clean room on Saturday despite signage on room door saying room cleaned daily. Ran out of toilet paper. Only 2 tea bags and only one flavour. No coffee No milk . No reception staff at location. On arrival Had to call mobile number to get a pin to access building.
- ΕΡΜΙΟΝΗ (8/5): -
- Rosaria (9/5): -
- Margarita (10/5): Η τέλεια διαμονή στην Αθήνα - Η τοποθεσία εξαιρετική, πολύ κοντά στη στάση Μετρό Ευαγγελισμός, με πολλές επιλογές για φαγητό και καφέ, σε κεντρικούς δρόμους, χωρίς όμως τη φασαρία του κέντρου. Υπήρχε πολύ καλή ηχομόνωση. Το δωμάτιο ιδιαίτερα άνετο με όμορφη διακόσμηση, καθαρό και εξοπλισμένο με τα απαραίτητα. Η θέα καταπληκτική με ένα μεγάλο παράθυρο να βλέπει σε ένα μικρό πάρκο με πράσινο, στην πόλη και στο λόφο του Λυκαβηττού. Η κοπέλα που μας έδωσε οδηγίες για την είσοδο στο κατάλυμα ήταν πολύ εξυπηρετική και ευγενική. Πολύ όμορφα όλα, θα το επέλεγα ξανά σε επόμενη διαμονή στην Αθήνα. Δεν έχω να σχολιάσω κάτι που δεν μου άρεσε!
- Athanasia (7/5): -
- Giuseppe (4/5): Esperienza da non ripetere. - La posizione della struttura è buona, per la vicinanza al centro ed alla stazione della metro. Difficile da individuare venendo con taxi, l' accoglienza praticamente inesistente. Quando siamo arrivati non c' era nessuno che ci potesse dare le minime informazioni. Immaginiamo se si bloccava l' ascensore, non essendoci nessuno nella struttura. La camera non isolava i rumori della strada, il bagno craustofobico, con lavabo per pigmei ed infine, ciliegina sulla torta, da sotto la moquette in prossimità dell' accesso in bagno abbiamo trovato una blatta viva.
- Simona (8/5): Lo consiglio molto, ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Cordiale chi ci ha accolto (via messaggi). - Sono stata solo una notte all'interno dell'alloggio, però ha soddisfatto le mie aspettative. Dimensioni delle camera ottime, ottima vista sulla strada, e posizione dell'alloggio molto comoda. Siamo andate in centro a piedi in circa 30 min. Il rumore delle macchine sicuramente non ha aiutato nel pernottamento.
- Vasiliki (10/5): Εξαιρετικο - Όλα ήταν άψογα το συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα.
Το δωμάτιο ήταν πολύ καθαρό,σε κεντρικό σημείο και πολύ κοντά σε στάση μετρό και λεωφορείο.
Οι οικοδεσπότες πολύ ευγενικοί και εξυπηρετικοί.εμεινα απολύτως ευχαριστημένη.
Αν είχε θα έβαζα και μεγαλύτερη βαθμολογία
- Spiros Georgiou (8/5): -
- Lystridis (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was great. The lady even upgraded us to a room with great view. Amazing experience. Highly recommended.
- Cody (10/5): Absolute incredible experience, location was great few spectacular - The view was remarkable, it was very clean and organized, beds were very comfortable, although it took me a second to discover the refrigerator haha
- Sebnem (10/5): - It's a low-cost but very comfortable hotel.
--I got a fine deal but apparently it's available for as low as 70USD at times, which would be a steal.
--No reception desk but daily cleaning service and they replace your water and tea.
--Not in a tourist area so there is a nice selection of authentic restaurants and cafes nearby.
--Very quiet despite being on a major street and close to a hospital. Apparently the rooms are soundproofed.
--Due to the blackout curtains, soundproofing, and comfortable bed, I slept like a baby for 14+ hrs on the first day after travel. That is the highlight of this place for me.
--The air conditioner works really well. (You have to pay a daily tourist fee in summer season because of this, but that's with every hotel)
--The wifi and hot water were convenient. I don't remember seeing a fridge.
--About 10 min walk from the Evangelismus station.
--The virtual check in is anxiety provoking. If you have access to phone or internet service, it's no problem; but for those coming from abroad, the property should consider giving the wifi code ahead of time so that people who arrive in front of the property can use the property's network to communicate.
--The virtual receptionist communicates well in English. They were able to get me a late night cab when I needed it.
I would go back there and recommend it to others.
- Joana (8/5): Very good - The location is perfect, the room has everything you need for a business trip, except a full size mirror. I was able to check in early and choose a room I prefer with a Lycabettus view. The breakfast are nice at a neat place next door. However, the place only opens at 8 (and even later than that). Also there is noise in the room from the street or the AC if you want to keep it on throughout the night.
- Rosemary (8/5): A convenient comfortable place to stay… - Near the metro and sound proof! The location wasn’t particularly desirable
- Filippos (10/5): Exceptional -
- Simay (9/5): Superb -
- Vegiron (7/5): Conveniently located rooms for a short Athens trip - The rooms are in a great location, close to central Athens and local cafes and restaurants. Good enough for a short visit if you find them at the right price. Our room definitely didn't look as modern as the listing's pictures and was very plain and somewhat dated inside. The check-in process wasn't smooth as we had to wait about 20' for someone to open the room for us, as they'd forgotten to leave the room keys in the lock box. I wouldn't recommend this room for a longer stay in Athens (more than 2 nights).
