We stayed in Athens for 2 nights prior to traveling to Naxos (go soon) and wanted somewhere central and close to the Piraeus metro line as the ferry left at 0730. The Carolina fitted the bill and booking was duly made. First the positive bits: * The location was good and in easy walking distance of all the major sites,... more

Athens has a lot of expensive awful places; this is not one of them. Location is great. We were at the front and I didn't hear the Alcohol Cooperative crowd at all; not sure why others did. In fact, with the air conditioner on we didn't hear anything. Beds are definitely very hard, but I've found that often elsewhere in... more

I don't have one good thing to say about this hotel! The beds were so hard it was like sleeping on plywood, and they creaked so loud every time you moved at all. The shower was so small, you couldn't even keep the curtain closed. And it was a hand held faucet. The entire bathroom floor got soaked. In the... more

ARRIVAL: Arrived extra early and was greeted by a very helpful and friendly receptionist. She advised me that my room would not be ready until mid-day and welcomed me to leave my bags in the computer room. I checked email using the complimentary "Business Center" and then set off to explore. LOCATION: This hotel is literally in the center of... more

Very good location, small but totally clean room and bathroom. It had everything we needed: refrigerator, safe, aircon, clean sheets. more

Hotel Carolina is very close to the Plaka area of Athens - the area with all the shops and restaurants is only 2 streets away, so I felt very safe walking back to the hotel alone at night. All the ancient ruins were within walking distance, and the Metro to the port was 5 mins walk away, as were the... more

Centrally located just outside of Plaka. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean, neat and of typical European size (large enough but not spacious). Clean bathrooms and good showers. The beds are on the "firm" side - our only minor issue. There is a nightclub next door that plays music late into the night. Our rooms were... more

This hotel was perfect for me and my boyfriend! The location is great! In a couple of minutes you'll reach Monastiraki and Plaka! The bathroom and the rooms (with pink and green walls) are very clean (coverlet and blankets have a very pleasant scent), there's Tv, security box, electric kettle and hair dryer. As I booked too late, my boyfriend... more

The hotel is in what seems to be a sketchy area as first glance, but looks are deceiving - the worst you'll run into is a homeless person or two sleeping on the sidewalk nearby, if even that. The hotel is 5 minutes away from the Plaka, Syntagma, and a few blocks from Ermou street - the main shopping street... more
