Guest Reviews
- 774dietmarg (8/5): very nice stay - Very polite personal, got good recommendations for Food and Trips. Rooms very clean, everything worked well (in other Hotels not self-evident) next time when I have to stay in Athen , I´ll book this Hotel again
- Kambre (4/5): - Ants and roaches were found in my room. The staff was overall friendly though!
- vitazivanic (10/5): Very clean - Ikaros hotel never disapoints. Freshly renovated. Very clean room fresh towels and sheets. Fridge also located in the room. Staff very helpful and frendly. X96 bus from the airport directly to the hotel. I recommend.
- mariakW2934TT (10/5): Opinion - It was best hotel I've ever been!!
The service was amazing and the view from the windows was stunning!! Not to mention the fresh from the oven apple pies we had for breakfast♡♡♡
10/10 would go again!!
- Verified traveler (4/5): Very basic - Door missing off shower the windows in the room are so poor the noise from the road was like an open window poor mattress also
- p_kiazim (10/5): Very good place - Very cosy and clean place to stay, close to the village center and the beach. There are couple of places where kids can play. Also there is a bus stop nearby and the access to Athens city center, the port and the aiports is pretty easy and quick.
- jjgibson65 (6/5): OK. Wouldn't return - Near beach and sea. And busy dual-carriageway. Reception churlish and completely lacking in providing information about anything at all. Younger members of staff more pleasant. Better alternatives nearby.
- 470Ruxi (8/5): Easy available, service, smile - Nice little hotel, at 40 minutes by tram from the center near the sea.
The owner and employees are very available at any time, helpfull.
There's a breakfast with some home made food but no fruits.
You can check in at any time (even in the middle at the night).
- Dennis (2/5): - Arrived at the hotel to to be informed by staff that our room was storm damaged and they are transferring to a hotel near by. We were not informed of this priour to our arrival and the hotel that we were transferred was to far away to meet needs.
- allistair (8/5): Good coastal location - Good hotel for the price
No frills but good value for money
Good transport links & plenty of parking
- Aaa (6/5): - Location is not really good. Room wasn't cleaned last night, some ants were in the room around.
- jovanr42 (10/5): Very nice - Clean rooms, very pleasant stuff, we had a room with huge balcony and it is pet friendly.
One of the best Glyfada free beaches is very close to hotel. Also with car you have 20 minutes to Athens center.
Highly recommended.
- Curious393250 (4/5): Not the best value in Glyfada - The only advantage is 24-hrs check-in desk, and it's located close to the beach!
The room was stuffy and you can't sleep with an open balcony door, since there is a very loud and busy road in front of the hotel. AC is right above the bed, so not the best idea to sleep with AC on.
No supermarkets or any place to have a lunch around there, so you have to take a tram and ride for 10-15 min.
On top of that, they seem to charge me twice for the first night.
- bogdans953 (10/5): Great hotel - We were with our toddler and we had great experience here. They offered a baby cot in the room at no expense. Very friendly staff, good location: the tram is just across the street and you can buy tickets from front desk, the beach is at 10 minutes of walking, coffee shop & gas station at 15 minutes of walking. The breakfast was good for what we have paid, it includes a coffee, a glass of water and one of fresh orange juice. Definitely we'll come back.
- 915pb (10/5): Very pleasant - Very pleasant hotel. Staff are brilliant and extremely helpful. Old hotel but very clean and well maintained. Tram stop opposite to town, and tickets are available from reception. Recommend highly for mid budget travel. Some noise from main road but insulation is good.
- EliseRomas (10/5): A great place to stay - This hotel is definitely one I'd recommend. It was reasonably priced, it had air conditioning and reliable internet, and a great view. Everything was clean. The desk worker even helped us order food in since our flight got in late and we could go anywhere to grab dinner.
Transportation into the city always said it takes 60 minutes but we never spent longer than 30 minutes on the bus. There's a tram and a bus stop directly outside the hotel.
It's also close to the coast which means some lovely beaches as well.
10/10 would recommend
- 365jangS (8/5): Spotless - From the airport to the hotel you should take bus no. X96 which costs 6EUR/person. You find this bus and kiosk to buy ticket at airport exit no. 5. There's a monitor on the airport bus that shows the map and station names both in Greek and in English but it's hard to follow because driver is only stopping at stations where people want to get off. The nearest bus stop to the hotel is called "KOLLEGIO". There's a bus stop right in front of the hotel, but X96 is not stopping there, so take off at "KOLLEGIO" and walk about 500m until reaching the hotel. There are several ways to get into the city centre, to "SYNTAGMA SQUARE". You can take tram no.5 (T5) or bus no. A2. Both of the stations are in front of the hotel. There's a ticket machine at the tram stop but only selling single one way ticket. It makes sense to get in the centre and buy your pass there, at Syntagma Square's subway station, if you are staying longer. There's 3 and 5 days tickets for travellers. I just wanted to share this lot of information because I was missing these from the previos reviews. There's no shop around the hotel but at least you can buy water and small drinks at the hotel's bar. A 0,5l bottle of water costs 0,5EUR. There are several shops in the centre and next to the tram line. Our room was really clean, A/C was spotless. Towels are changed every day. TV has CNN and Deutsche Welle as foreigner channels. The hotel has an elevator which makes handling your luggage easier. Staff is kind and helpful. Even though we had to check out at 12pm, we could leave our luggage for the rest of the day. Road in front of hotel is very busy, so I recommend to ask for a room with mountain view! :)
- GinatheGael (10/5): Very helpful and professional staff. Spotless! - I made a late booking as a birthday treat for a friend. I arrived exhausted (after delays) was greeted by a very helpful man at Reception. He assisted me with my bags - which was a relief! I was pleasantly surprised to see that my bed had a number of extra pillows (as requested) due to back problems.
Next morning I came down for breakfast and the very friendly lady (Valentina) greeted me with a warm smile and had the breakfast in front of me within minutes. The breakfast is great value at 5 Euros. There was a large glass of water, a good size glass of orange juice (some places give you a glass not much bigger than a thimble) a boiled egg, slices of ham and cheese, plenty of toast, butter, various jams and honey and a choice of tea of coffee.
The towels were brilliant white and fluffy, with a lovely freshly laundered smell. The shower curtain was also also freshly laundered and fresh smelling.
The tiles in the bathroom were spotless.
The bed linen was also immaculate and had that freshly laundered, sun-dried smell!
Aliona, another breakfast waitress/cleaner was also kind and very helpful.
I don't understand why this place is given only 1 star. I have stayed in hotels of a higher rating that weren't as well looked after.
Now to Elvis, the Receptionist.... he was just amazingly efficient, helpful, sincere and friendly. Worthy of 5 stars for his skills alone! He went to the trouble (not just for us, but for anyone who made any enquiries) of drawing maps, writing down addresses, bus/tram/metro routes, checking information on the internet - all that on top of his own paperwork (organising bookings etc. etc. I was really impressed with him and appreciative of his help.
The owners Kostas and Eleni were lovely too.
Next time I'm in Athens, I will have a comfortable bed, in pleasant surroundings.....
It is on a main road, with a hum of cars constantly, but I had no problems with that. There are bus and tram links immediately in front of the hotel, with connections to the port (Pireaus) the airport and Acropolis and central Athens.
I would certainly recommend this place.
There is a night club next door, but I never heard a sound from it, but I wasn't there at the weekend, so perhaps I was lucky?!
- 718adamk (6/5): Sea view rooms = noise from busy road. - The hotel is located half way between the Athens airport and the city center. Like most of hotels in Glyfada this hotel is located at busy street, so if you are not a heavy sleeper take a room not facing the road. Unfortunately sea view means view on busy road and noise in your room. So do not pay extra money for the noise !
Breakfast is rather very basic. Hotel is very well connected both with the airport and city center. Coming from the airport take expres bus X96 - bus stop is about 250 metres from the hotel. Single ticket costs 5 EUR. If you are coming to Athens for longer stay it makes sense to buy monthly ticket for all means of public transport - it costs 49 EUR. To do so, take a passport picture with you. Tickets you will buy at kiosk in front if Athens airport, next to X96 bus stop.
If you want to visit Acropolis site, take a tram number 5. Tram stop is just in front of the hotel. Last stop is about 300 metres from Acropolis.
- msplectrum (10/5): Friendly & close to the beach - This hotel is perfect especially if you're planning to spend a few days on the beach after you have visited the city. It is located about 50 minutes away from Syntagma Square, and 15-20 to the beaches, the tram stop being just on the other side of the road. Friendly staff, excellent breakfast, grear value for money. Even though the road can be noisy, the rooms are isolated and provided with air conditioning, so the noise is not annoying at night.
Also, great connection with the airport by bus X96, which stops less than 500 metres away.
