Guest Reviews
- JORGE (9/5): - Habitación amplia, variedad en el desayuno y estaba muy cerca de la acropolis Mejorar velocidad de internet
- Maria (8/5): -
- Aidan (9/5): Great hotel, recommended - The hotel had some of the nicest people working there. Their staff checked us in with the most amount of information I’ve ever experienced on close by recommendations for food and places to visit.
10/10 from every perspective other than the location. The location was a bit difficult to navigate to central Athens, getting a taxi or uber could be a bit tricky from the layout of the roads. But that is often the case I’ve heard in Athens.
- MARIA TERESA (8/5): Un empleado simpático y otro antipático - La recepcionista que estaba la noche de nuestra llegada. Nos explicó todo muy bien. Un camarero que estaba en el bar con los desayunos fue muy antipático y con malos modos. El baño con la cortina, la grifería y los accesorios están muy antiguos y necesitan un cambio.
- Anupama Devi (7/5): -
- Christos (10/5): -
- Ian (8/5): -
- Francesco (8/5): Ottimo per raggiungere la zona dell’Acropoli a piedi - Ottima posizione albergo pulito La posizione. Straordinario panorama dalla terrazza dell’ultimo piano sulla Acropoli

- Piotr (8/5): -
- Joaquim (10/5): - De tudo, estava tudo perfeito Nada a dizer
- Joaquim (10/5): - De tudo Do ar condicionado, demasiado barulhento e demasiado em cima da cama
- Monica (9/5): - room good size beds comfortable Nothing to complain about here
- rodrigo (8/5): Um bom local para acessar a região de Plaka e o Partenon. Muito bom café da manhã ao estilo grego - Café da manhã excelente. Internet muito fraca
- NICOLAS (5/5): Regular - Paredes de papel, se escucha todo! Ruidos de caños circulando agua sin parar!
Recepción poco colaborativa
- Vittoria (7/5): Piacevole e rilassante - Ottima la posizione e il comfort Purtroppo il letto matrimoniale era composto da due letti singoli attaccati. Una cosa che purtroppo non ci è piaciuta, però era comodo.
Pulizia discreta potrebbero migliorarla
- Tera (8/5): -
- Naureen (1/5): Bad bad - They are scammers Customer service
- chad (10/5): Comfortable, clean, and quiet - The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. Around the corner were some wonderful restaurants and cafes and it wasn’t too far of a walk to the main tourist area.
- Katarzyna (7/5): OK for one night, but DO NOT book the airport transfer! - This hotel was fine for a one-night stay and the price was acceptable for a simple hotel. I must issue a strong warning about the airport taxi service arranged through the hotel. While this is an external company, the service was unacceptable and seriously compromised my safety: The driver was driving recklessly, consistently over 160 km/h on the motorway, overtaking from every lane, and disregarding all traffic laws in the city.
The final fee was higher than the amount confirmed by the hotel in the reservation!
The driver did not wait in the arrivals hall as confirmed. We had to search for him, which made the pre-booked transfer pointless. Also the driver stopped for fuel just 1-2 km before reaching the hotel...
During the following days, I used local taxis and found the drivers to be great and professional.
- ALAN (9/5): - Friendly staff who showed caring and helpfulness on all questions to facilitate our visit to Athens as tourists.
Breakfast was awesome - yummy and plenty 👍 Was hoping for a queen-size bed as requested, but had a two twin bed pushed together - having the gap in between.
- Damian (8/5): Pozytywnie - Czystość, dobre śniadanie Nie jest blisko centrum ale można dojechać komunikacją
- Fulya (8/5): Önerilir - Otelin konumu iyiydi. Ulaşımı rahattı. Havaalanı servisinden memnun kaldık. Uçağımız sabah erken olduğu için kahvaltımızı paket olarak yanımıza vermeleri güzel bir jestti. Temmuz ayı için klimaların performansı çok yeterli olmuyordu ve çok gürültülü çalışıyordu.
- Juan Carlos (9/5): Great location near the metro, clean rooms with Acropolis views, and a good breakfast - Ilissos Hotel was a great base for our stay in Athens.
The location is very convenient (just about 10 minutes from the Sygrou-Fix metro station) making it easy to reach both the Acropolis and the airport.
Our room was clean and comfortable, and we especially enjoyed having a terrace with views of the Acropolis.
Breakfast was continental, with several options to choose from, and it was a good start to the day.
Overall, a practical and pleasant stay in Athens.
- anonyme (4/5): - Le personnel est très sympa Très vieillot !!! Insonorisation à revoir... On a jamais eu la vue sur l'Acropole comme sur les photos.
- Nikos (7/5): - .
- Laurie (8/5): Enjoyed the hotel, clean and very helpful staff, but the location is a bit difficult. - The hotel is very clean, the room was spacious, and the beds very comfortable. Staff were very helpful! The breakfast was good, not outstanding, but had a decent variety to suit varying tastes. The location is not the best as it is 15 minutes walk from the closest Metro Station and not the best area to walk.
- Coralee (9/5): The people were very helpful and friendly. We were going on a cruise the next day -
- Eloá Greice (10/5): Hotel com boa localização e funcionários super atenciosos - Eu gostei da localização, pois está próximo de Acrópoles. Se você tiver disposição pode ir caminhando tranquilamente. Na rua atrás do hotel tem alguns barzinhos, tem farmácia, mercado etc. A frente do hotel é para uma avenida movimentada.
Eu não tive problema para dormir, foi bem tranquilo.
Os funcionários são super atenciosos e procuraram me ajudar da melhor forma possível. A única coisa que achei falha foi o horário do início do café da manhã. Começava às 7AM. Na minha opinião é bem tarde esse horário e por essa razão não utilizei o benefício.

- Brooke (9/5): - Everything was great. Only stayed 1 night! Bed was super comfy :) N/a
- Mariana Moreira (9/5): - É tudo ótimo. Localização perfeita, fácil acesso a transportes, bares em volta. Pessoal todo muito simpático e prestativo. A vista do bar é incrível. A comida do jantar era bem boa. É preciso chamar a atenção aos hóspedes para se ter mais cuidado e respeito com os demais, pois havia muito ruído e batida de porta. Meio sem-noção. Talvez umas plaquinhas ajudassem.
- Traveler176 (8/5): -
- edwige (9/5): Agréable - La propreté l excellent petit déjeuner la gentillesse du personnel qui a su trouver un chauffeur pour l aéroport alors que tous les taxis étaient en grève Un peu bruyant vers le matin donc amener des boules quies
- Mickael (7/5): Idéalement situé pour se balader et tout faire à pieds - Le restaurant au roof top est génial !
Le personnel est très serviable
Hôtel idéalement situé pour se balader à pieds Les oreillers sont peu confortables
La clim est bruyante
- Grégory (8/5): Séjour à Athènes - Vu sur acropole depuis la chambre et le bar.
Chambre très spacieuse. Salle de bain vieillissante, baignoire avec rideau de douche pas agréable pour se laver.
- Arkadiusz (10/5): -
- SIMON (8/5): Séjour agréable et reposant. - la premiere chambre était vaste, agreable, les rangements pratiques, j'avais suffisamment de place pour faire ma vie la chambre que j'ai eu sur la deuxieme partie du séjour situé en etage haut. Certe j'avais une terrasse mais la salle de bain était miniscule pas tres pratique.
- Carlos Alberto (10/5): Wonderful! - The staff especially Maria and Susana. They went above and beyond to answer all our questions. Exactly on the day of our check out the taxis/uber were on strike and they managed to schedule our transfer to the airport at a reasonable price. Also, as it was a very early check-out they even packed breakfast to go. Amazing customer service and support!
- Melissa (9/5): Staff was awesome and it was a great value. - It was nice and breakfast was awesome. There wasn’t much I didn’t like.
- Oana (8/5): -
- Anabella (8/5): Recommended - close to acropolis - The hotel is 15-20 walk from the acropolis area
Easy to walk everywhere and there are plenty of bars and restaurants in the area.
Room was comfy and the hotel has a restaurant at the top with views to the acropolis
Breakfast was alright
- Vigdis (9/5): - Fint läge, fantastisk trevlig och hjälpsam personal i receptionen
- Johannes (8/5): - The rooms are okay, the staff is very friendly. The price is reasonable. Location close to Syggrou-Fix makes it a good place to stay. Prices at the rooftop bar are too high, the AC in the rooms is overdimensioned for such small rooms and loud like hell. Hard to find sleep with it running, impossible without. Our room wasn't properly cleaned. When we arrived there was hair all over the place. One day, the cleaning personell didn't close our door and we arrived to a room with an open door ...
- Briana (10/5): - Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans cet hôtel. Il est bien localisé, le personnel est très agréable et accueillant. Le point positif que nous retenons est la vue depuis le rooftop, avec la vue sur l'Acropole ! Nous recommandons absolument !
- Javier (10/5): - La atención del personal del hotel fue inmejorable, muy atentos y agradables.
La habitación era muy cómoda y bien equipada.
Por otra parte el desayuno contaba con muchas opciones, el menú era muy completo.

- Ioanna (8/5): Suitable location and friendly staff but lacking proper Airconditioning in room and lobby - Friendly staff, good breakfast, location The AC unit in our room and lobby was not working properly causing an uncomfortable environment. This is the only reason for the lower score.

- shawn (10/5): Great location – could walk to the acropolis. Only a third of a mile from Metro stop - Great rooftop area to have a beer. Trying to find it was a little difficult at first – but then easy.
- sergio (10/5): -
- Ioannis (9/5): -
- Patrícia (7/5): A estadia foi razoável, mas com várias falhas que não corresponderam ao esperado para um hotel de 4 estrelas. - Localização conveniente
Funcionários simpáticos Hotel desatualizado para a categoria de 4 estrelas.
Reserva de cama de casal não cumprida (duas camas individuais).
Barulho nos corredores e fraca insonorização.
Ar condicionado mal posicionado, a incidir diretamente sobre as camas.
Pequeno-almoço com pouca variedade e preço elevado para a qualidade (13€)
- ramon (5/5): Bien, correcto, sin mucho más. - Personal amable, a 10 minutos de la estación de metro. Podría mejorar la limpieza del baño, el desayuno poco variado y si quieres ir andando al centro es media hora
- Salim (1/5): Our stay was disaster. We were treated very badly by the staff and the manager. - Nothing went well, it was a disaster. We booked a double room for our stay for our wedding anniversary. When we arrived, we found twin beds. We called the receptionist, he told us he will find solution tomorrow morning. The day after, they proposed a room that does not have a functional bathroom, we didn’t agree to take the room, and the receptionist told us that there is nothing they can do.
We talked to the reservation manager, who was very rude and told us that there is nothing he can do be cause they have no availability, and then he told us we have to pay extra 60 euros per night to get a double room.
They are really scammers.
We asked for a refund, but they did not want to do so.
We called booking, but they could not help us resolve the issue.
This is by far the worst hotel I’ve stayed in. It is at most a 2 star hotel not 4. For the same price, they are better hotels near the city, I really regret staying here.
- Agnes (8/5): -
- Sebastien (4/5): Je ne conseille pas cet établissement - Emplacement enfin le quartier car proches commerces des habitants locaux , mais boulevards donc bruyant. L hôtel dispose d une majorité de lits jumeaux donc pour les couples vous repasserez et cela est non négociable. Petit déjeuner plus que bas de gamme .
- Mario (7/5): - La posizione. Poco distante dal centro. Non proprio un 4 stelle. Un po’ datato.
- Amir (6/5): -
- Laura (9/5): Muy buena opción para alojarse en Atenas - Un hotel muy agradable, nos dieron una habitación muy amplia, limpia y cómoda. Estaba en una zona muy tranquila y con supermercados, restaurantes y estación de metro cercana. Tuvimos algún problema con el baño pero lo solucionaron de forma rápida y eficaz. Personal muy agradable. Nos hubiera gustado tener varias opciones de mantas para la cama, ya que dan sólo una demasiado gorda para verano. Y la cortina de la bañera no hacía muy bien su trabajo, después de la ducha se formaba algún charco en el suelo. El desayuno no cuenta con leche sin lactosa, sólo leche vegetal.
- Mauricio (6/5): -
- Luciane (6/5): - O hotel entrega um bom serviço de modo geral. Os recepcionistas salvam muito a cara do hotel. Infelizmente fomos jantar no restaurante do hotel, com a vista para a Acrópolis, e o restaurante só estava servindo bebidas. Sentimos um leve desconforto no café da manhã em relação a alguns funcionários, não me pareciam felizes de estar ali, para um especificamente parecíamos um incômodo. Uma pena, já que o café da manhã em si é muito bom. A limpeza do banheiro que estávamos, infelizmente deixou a desejar. Tinha pelos na banheiros, e o chão em volta da privada era notório que não estava limpo. Uma pena, pois o hotel tem tudo para ser excelente.
- Fišerová (1/5): - I didn’t have a breakfast at the end and the photo is toooo far from the reality
- Zoltan (8/5): -
- Saverio (7/5): - Das Personal an sich und die Sauberkeit. Es waren alle Nett und hilfsbereit. Mann konnte sehr gut schlafen, die Betten waren schön bequem. Das Frühstück war nicht so gut. Vieles schmeckte nach plastik vorallem die Croissant. Ein teil des Frühstücks -Personals war etwas unmottiviert und der Kaffee war zuviel mit Wasser verdünnt.
- Guest (8/5): -
- José Ramón (7/5): Una estancia apacible - Zona céntrica. Buen precio. El desayuno era bastante decente. Las instalaciones requieren una renovación. En algunos puntos necesita una reforma. El aire acondicionado suena mucho por la noche y cuesta acostumbrarse.
- Piero (10/5): -
- László (6/5): -
- Dos Santos (8/5): -
- Ιωάννης (10/5): - Καλή τοποθεσία, καλή εξυπηρέτηση, ευγένεια, πολύ ωραίο roof garden με θέα την Ακρόπολη. Δεν βρήκαμε κάτι αρνητικό.
- Janie Kuebler (10/5): - Excellent place, great customer service, room was amazing, great location
- Frederic (7/5): Bon séjour à Athènes - Un hôtel d affaires plus qu un hôtel de tourisme
La prestation globale est bonne
Situé un peu à l écart du centre touristique il est néanmoins placé dans un quartier typique super agréable Sur les boulevards …

- Αθανασίου Ευάγγελος (9/5): -
- Giulia (10/5): -
- Eliana Maria (8/5): Boa, mas não escolheria novamente esse hotel - Localização , funcionários simpáticos Fiquei num quarto individual, muito mais caro mas dormi em cama de solteiro.
Na saída, a mala enroscou na porta giratória e cai de cara na calçada. Pouco seguro
- Mikko (6/5): Hotel is a good stay with but don’t expect too much of the breakfast. Closest metro station is easy to navigate to even - The room service was efficient and few of the staff members from the reception and kitchen staff showed care.
Although location was little hidden, easy access to metro station was appreciated as very little turns were needed when walking from metro station to hotel.
Roof bar had nice view to Acropolis. Lack of vegan or even vegetarian options with breakfast was notable negative. Watermelon and olives were nice, all other vegetarian options were lacking.
I’m not familiar with price ranges in Greece, but for us the breakfast didn’t quite meet the expectations in either price or quality.
- Mariella (9/5): -
- TIANYU (9/5): i recommend to stay at this hotel - convenient location, very comfortable bed, courtesy staff, good breakfast breakfast was decent, if I have to say something for improvement, maybe change the variety a bit every 2 or 3 days we had 3 breakfast, not see much change of the food.
- Michele (3/5): - Piumini sul letto senza lenzuolo. ad Agosto.. ad Atene?
Bagno molto vecchio, con vasca e tenda, lavabo da autogrill
aria condizionata anche se spenta rumorosa
lenzuola sporche
- giovanni (9/5): Hotel consigliatissimo - Hotel consigliatissimo. Stanza grande con tutti i confort , balcone grande.
Piacevole area relax.
Colazione il giusto senza troppe abbuffate mattutine.
Posizione ottima
Terrazza panoramica Tutto perfetto
- Chantelle Laubscher (4/5): - Our overall stay at the hotel was pleasant. The breakfast was enjoyable, and the hotel staff were generally friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. The rooms were comfortable, and we appreciated the hospitality during most of our time there.
Unfortunately, our final day was marred by a deeply upsetting experience that left a lasting negative impression. We had arranged two taxis through the hotel to take us to the port, as we were traveling with elderly parents. The driver of our taxi was extremely rude, and the second taxi dropped my parents at the wrong location—far from where they needed to be—and drove off, leaving them stranded and confused.
To make matters worse, there was no cellphone reception, so we couldn’t reach them. We contacted the hotel for help, hoping they could assist since they had arranged the taxis. Initially, the receptionist was helpful and said she would contact the driver to retrieve my parents and bring them to us. However, she later called back with a completely different attitude—rude and dismissive. She claimed the driver had fulfilled his duty by dropping them “at the port,” even though it was nowhere near the correct gate. She also falsely stated that we hadn’t specified the drop-off location (despite our taxi taking us to the correct spot), and that the driver had offered his phone to my father, which was untrue.
The call ended abruptly when she hung up on us. We eventually managed to locate my parents ourselves and arranged an Uber to bring them to the right place. The lack of accountability and professionalism from the hotel staff in this situation was extremely disappointing.
While the hotel itself was fine, I would strongly advise against using their taxi service. The experience was distressing and unacceptable, especially when elderly guests are involved
- Wen-Min (6/5): - 位置 廁所漏水,冷氣不穩,每天沒給礦泉水
- Alison (8/5): - View of acropolis from our balcony room 602. Location to trains, good breakfast, clean & comfortable room
- chris (8/5): Very nice hotel great staff. - Rooms are adequate size and have coffee making facilities and 2 small bottles of water provided. The bathroom was a good size, the shower over bath was hot and good flow of water. Rooftop bar offers great views across the Athens skyline, especially good at night. There was a large group of teenage school children at breakfast when we went and a lot of queuing and waiting for good to be stocked up. The staff did a great job to manage the chaos but it did cause a bit of a problem for us waiting linger than we had hoped.
