You get what you pay for, staff are nice and helpful, the rooms are basic and bathrooms are small and a little cramped. But for location and convenience if you are travelling by train it is a great stay. A short 20-30 minute stroll into central Athens, although if walking at night stick to the main roads.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place itself was nice, however, the area was sketchy at best. It’s not that hotels fault that public transit is absolute garbage, but it should be noted because it is super close to the central train terminal. So you might think that’s helpful for getting around. It’s not. If you’re adventurous enough, I recommend renting a car, using a good maps system, and paying for insurance. The people who ran this hotel were super nice, I need to reiterate this, because it seems like I didn’t like the overall stay. They were great

The hotel is 5 min walking to the metro. Value for money. Only negative point was, the shower cubicals were too small and one cubical was leaking water to the toilet floor making it wet all the time after a shower. We were 4 persons in two combined room with two separate bathrooms.

A good cheap hotel close to Larissa/athens train station. Its beds are a bit hard and bathroom is a bit small but the aircon worked for us and it was cheap. One of the receptionists- Stefan was really nice! If you want a cheap place in a good travel location without a hefty price tag then this is the place for you!

Excellent location to walk to train station. Footpath suitcase friendly👍. Arriving from airport, 2 stops after Synagma Square you just walk across the road to Socrates Hotel. We made a mistake and got off at Synagma square then needed a taxi, costing an extra 12 euros that wouldn’t have been necessary. We would definitely stay there again for the extreme convenience. We also just walked across to the station to go to Meteora. A beautiful petrol station around the corner with beautiful food and drinks was fantastic. Thank you Vangeli
