European Union, Europe hotel rooms at the VIP Hotels

"We stayed over the Easter weekend and they had organised extra activities for the children which was a great touch. We loved using the pool and sauna after our day out exploring the city. We had a large family room which was two rooms interconnected and that worked very well for us, the rooms were nicely decorated and very clean. The hotel is a short walk from the trains and buses to get around the various parts of the city, or even a train across to Sweden. We enjoyed drinks in the lobby bar, brasserie bar, and in the sky bar on the top floor which had some nice views. We decided to eat all meals outside of the hotel, and found it easy to find some good cafes for breakfast, and food markets for lunch or dinner."

"Consistent good standard here having stayed here over many years. Breakfast buffet like Ireland not cheap, wide range of quality selections available. Lunch/dinner options similar in both respects. There are no fridges in the rooms, personally I’d like that. "

"Breakfast was very good."

"One of the best places I’ve ever stayed. Thank you."

"The hotel is at a good spot but the airport shuttle is not that close. I didn't have time for breakfast in the morning, so cannot comment on its freshness. The taxies were waiting at the entrance, which was convenient when you are trying to get to the airport on-time. Overall, my experience was positive. "

"My wife, son and I booked the junior suite both prior to and after a cruise that left from the port of Athens. We stayed in room 900 which is a newly renovated room located on the top floor of the hotel adjacent to the infinity pool. The Stanley is a newly renovated historic hotel located in central Athens. There is a subway station as well as hop on hop off tourist bus directly outside. Easy cheap access to tourist spots, airport, port. This is the only Junior suite in the hotel, and its location offers views of the Parthenon in the distance as well as sweeping views of the city. The room has been newly renovated and is tiled throughout with plenty of storage and a very comfortable bed and pullout sofa. There is a narrow balcony with glass railings as well as a large private patio area accessed through a sliding door. The bathroom is very large and well-appointed with a large glassed-in shower. We were impressed by the welcome bottle of wine on ice and fruit tray as well as the free stocked mini bar. The room included a full hot breakfast which is served in the roof top restaurant. The breakfast buffet was amazing and included Greek specialties, North American foods and specialty coffees. The restaurant has plenty of seating as well as a great balcony. From 4-7 there is a "happy hour" for suite guests in the mezzanine lounge that includes beer and wine and light snacks. Was a great way to wind down from the day! The staff throughout were amazing- Great stay! "

"This hotel smells amazing, nice shower and spacious room"

"Very clean and comfortable room , all staff very friendly and professional, breakfast was great value and very nice"

"GOOD: Staff were courtesy, helpful, and professional. Location very central. Only 10 minute walk to Louvre. A boulangerie and little supermarket only 50 meters from the main entrance. Metro entrance only 20 meters away. BAD: Rooms are in bad shape. The carpet is the worst I've ever seen in any hotel room of any level. NO slippers were provided by the hotel too. The cabinetry that holds the safebox has the laminate peeled off so that the particle board underneath is exposed. The door hinge is bent out of shape too. For a room that's supposed to house 4 people, the amenities were sparse. Only 2 rolls of toilet paper per day (we ended up using up both rolls in less than a day). So we had to constantly request more rolls. The mini-fridge is fully stocked with pricy drinks, leaving no room for our own drinks. The hallways are dark, dingy, with exposed wires (this can NOT be to building code standards in Paris or any other city). Even the carpeting in the hallway have areas that are cut away, exposing the wood subflooring underneath. Breakfast was okay. But the 4 coffee machines were inadequate. Always a line, and at least one of the machines were not working properly or there weren't enough coffee beans in the hopper to make a full cup of espresso. Also, the self-serve open jars of jam/marmelade/Nutella next to the breads were covered with flies everyday and there were no attempts to rid them. Needless to say, we never used these. Will never stay here again."
