Stayed here on the middle of our contiki in July 2012, after staying in camping cabin huts for the 10 days before it was lovely to be back in a hotel that even had a hair dryer. Was in a wee bit of a shady looking area but I did find that to be quite deceiving as the hotel was... More

This hotel is in a shady location, but the price is extremely reasonable and the room is comfortable enough. There was a naked man in an apartment across the street from the hotel and he was shining a green laser pointer into my room. After that, we stopped going out to the balcony & kept the blinds closed. In general,... More

Hotel is at 10min walk from Larissa Station. Streets are dark at night. Staff is very courteous but the room which I got (single room with queen-sized bed) was very small. Similarly the wash room had hardly any space to stand there. But at 30 Euros a night, not much could be expected. Or could it be?

located in not so attractive area of Athens, not a save one in my opinion, provides a good start to visit the city. 10 minutes walk away from the archeaological Museum in Athens. If you have a choice, stay in another area, although the hotel seems to be professional enough, so are the breakfasts.

We as a family (2+2) went to Athens in October 2011. This hotel was rated as 3-star hotel. The hotel was a good value for money but I would recommend this for those people who are looking for good value for money at a reasonable location. The hotel was close to metro station and going around was easy, but the... More

Very bad hotel in very, very bad neighbourhood (homeless, narkodealers and junkies). Get lost of here! Small dark rooms, dirty linen, bathroom with a lot of water everywhere. It is not recently renovated...and the center of the city is not "at 700m only".
