Like most travelers who stay in Pireaus, we needed a room for one night before an early morning ferry. Ideal Hotel fit the bill. Relatively inexpensive, quiet, and a quick walk to the ferry terminals. The room was clean and of moderate size, the bed was comfortable, A/C worked perfect fine. That's really all we wanted! The area is a... more

If you are travelling to the Greek Islands from Pireus, and have an early ferry, this is a perfect choice. Yes, it's in a back street, but is only 10 minutes walk (or a 2 minute taxi transfer) to all the main embarkation gates and the airport bus stops just round the corner. The rooms are clean and the airconditioning... more

So, only stayed one night but I experienced enough in that one night to really regret our choosing the Hotel Ideal. So, we arrive at the hotel after a flight, a long bus ride and a mile-walk in the wrong direction only to discover the concierge on a private phone call in which she continues to talk for 3+ minutes... more

Clean hotel and rooms. Aircondition was working perfect, operated by a remote control. Free internet, PC in lobby, connection in rooms. Super location for shopping and close to the port, metro and airport bus. Several cafeterias located right outside with great local food. more

This hotel is located by the port and is good for an overnight stay before an early ferry the next morning. The hotel about a 5-10 walk from gates 9&10 and a 15 min walk from gates 7&8. The room was clean and in good condition. The only negative was that there was no shower curtain, so water gets everywhere... more

This hotel is located in the port area of Pireaus and the location suited me perfectly. The street it was situated in was a little dubious however it wasn't totally unsafe! For a fairly cheap overnight before a ferry or cruise connection this hotel is perfectly adequate! The reception actuallly looks quite nice and modern for a greek 2 star... more

This hotel looks nicer in the photos than it does in real life. Both it, and its sister hotel, Hotel Glaros, smell like one giant cigarette. It's also in a pretty rough neighborhood with not so much as a snack shop nearby. I had to move out after the first night. more

We wanted a decent hotel in Piraeus as we were catching an early morning flight. The Ideal was just that. Very clean with good bathroom and efficent air conditioning. The staff were very helpful and although it would have been possible to walk with our bags (we did, in fact, on the way home) we opted to take a taxi... more
