We stayed at this hotel and were very pleased. Yes, it is off the main streets, but quiet and two blocks from the American Embassy. We were very impressed with the extremely helpful staff. They arranged for a boat tour of some of the Islands and had a wake-up call in the morning, so we would not miss our excursions. The rooms are big with very good bathroom facilities. There were three of us adults and they gave us a junior suite with two rooms, two TVs and lots of customer care. We stayed three nights and would gladly stay again. The food in their restaurant is very good and reasonably priced. Our stay included breakfast, which was excellent. Bacon, eggs, breads, yogurt, fresh juices, fruits, cold cuts, cereal, coffee, tea, and much, much more. Breakfast lasts until 10:30 am. Would definetly stay again!

The G.R. Louis (formerly known as Andromeda Hotel) does not only have a new name, it also enjoys a new friendly staff. This small hotel is in a quiet, narrow and dirty alley in the nearby of the American Embassy. Although not very centrally located, it is 5 minutes away on foot from the subway station of Megaro Moussikis, three stops away from the old city center.

Absolutely not a 5 star hotel. However the lobby looks attractive and elegant, just like the breakfast room with its old fashioned Murano glass chandelier. The breakfast buffet is passible but the bar, located in the same room, is always unattended. We needed to call someone from reception simply to get a beer.

I have been here a few times and found no real problem with the rooms, although the TV is mostly Greek channels and works from time to time. But they are dark, with depressing colors and in none of them I found a proper desk to work comfortably.

I go to this hotel for its convenient location during my business trips. As I use the room essentially to wash myself and sleep I am fine with it.
Should I come for a holiday, I would probably make a different choice.

We found the Andromeda properties in Athens, and in Thessaloniki, to be charming, however, with different styles. In Athens they were very accomodating and placed our family in a two-bedroom apartment in their annex across the lane. The breakfasts were wonderful, the restaurant very credible, the staff served cheerfully, and the management was very helpful. Internet needs an upgrade, but we would welcome the opportunity to stay at The Andromeda again!

The Andromeda Hotel - what a disaster. the staff, pleasant enough, could not care less. Internet access would not work during the entire stay. phone access would not work for most of the time and was not fixed. rooms are cheaply fitted out and are not really clean, quite disgusting. the balcony door would not open and despite daily requests to fix it, guess what. the bar was closed at 20.00 on arrival as the bar man was sick. ask for guidance on a good restaurant at the front desk and see what blank expression you get and response. the manager, Malliou, was not available during the entire time to discuss these issues. i am still trying to obtain a response from the but no luck so far. in 20 years of global travel, this is the worst Hotel i have ever stayed in. avoid.
