While it is true the area is a little run down, it is perfectly safe to walk around day and night. Like London, Athens does have areas which are run down but still safe. The hotel itself is great. Friendly staff, decent rooms and a good restaurant. For what I paid, I have no complaints!
Some of the staff needed sone warning up to at first, but they were very accommodating overall. The rooftop restaurant was a nice view even though it was a view of train station. The breakfast was extremely limited.
Not a bad place to stay for one night. The only thing that absolutely needs work are the beds. I had to put a pillow under my hip because i could feel the bed springs underneath.
We didn’t add the breakfast, we mainly came here due to the location on the Meteora tour which is conveniently 1/2 a block away. This place took us back to the 80’s -lol. That being said it is clean, and the staff are friendly, -this is why I rated it 4 stars. I left my necklace, I didn’t have high hopes that I’d be able to get it back but when I came back to tell them the cleaning lady brought it to the front desk and I was able to get it back. Whew! So thankful for here! They also luggage storage so that is also a plus!
Very nice hotel close to the railway station and within walking distance of major attractions. The amenities were in good condition, and the room was clean. I didn’t try the hotel restaurant, but the menu looked extensive and the prices seemed reasonable.
I enjoy my stay. Specially for its proximity to the train station. The room was nice and clean. I really appreciate that transportation to airport was arrange for me (for a fee) as I had a very early flight.
Very near the train station which was our desire for early departure. Not a lot of shopping or dining options nearby but a great restaurant in the building with very reasonably priced good food with nice views!
Very convenient location right by train and subway station. Great price and service from the staff. Best breakfasts we had during our two week stay in Greece.

Staff were nice. Next to a subway station.
Bed was not comfortable at all, like a rock. AC was working but we did not have control over the set temperature and therefore sort of hot/warm.
Please is clean and safe. I wasn’t able to do check in until 3 pm. even when Expedia have a 2 pm check in. And we have to pay to storage the luggage because we got there early to check in. It does have a restaurant roof top and food is very good.
The staff were kind and went out of their way to be so helpful. I can’t even describe how above and beyond they went. The area isn’t terrible, albeit kind of out of the way from the main gardens and you might pass through some sketchy areas, but not the hotels fault for that and honestly, the staff make it worth it.
