Well...what can I say?!
We stayed here for a week...
Filoxenia Hotel was situated near the red light district of Omonia Square! Arriving early hours of the morning, we were surprised to see a hostel style hotel with very old decor.
The room very basic and having 2 beds pushed together classed as a 'double' bed, the bath had limescale and a leaking tap. We also had trouble with the electrics whereby we had to wiggle the card around 100 times before we could get it to work! The lift was scary, it was alright as long as you didn't make any sudden movements! Breakfast was basic (Boiled eggs, Bread, Jams, Cheese, Ham, WEAK tea, Coffee and POWDERED orange juice!!!) but edible. The windows and patio door although closed did not lock. We were thankful for air conditioning (normally this is an extra cost), clean sheets (towels and sheets changed daily) and running water! We actually had quite a nice view over the crowded buildings of the mountains and at night we saw the amazing sunset. Whilst walking to the Metro, there are some roads that have a strong smell of urine, and be warned surrounding the hotel are Arabic restaurants; some of the men here were very pervy, acting like they had never seen a woman before!!! We did have a lot of laughs with the receptionist, Nick. He was a joker and very friendly. You must listen to all his stories and words of wisdom.
All in all it was an 'interesting' experience but we managed to see a lot of Athens I guess you get what you pay for.

This place has a few negative aspects. The shower was a hose in a chipped and worn bath, the breakfast was terrible with disgusting juice and stale cereal with warm milk, and the decor was very basic. However I found the reception staff friendly and accommodating, one such person extremely, out-of-the-way helpful, and the room had air-conditioning, a TV and clean linen. Really only appropriate for the low budget traveller.

DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOTEL. It is by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The room was disgusting, there were balls of hair stuck in the courtains and the bathroom was terrible as well. The toilet bowl has completely dirty and the neighborhood couldn't be worse. The hotel staff seems to be doing you a favor and are not friendly. I laughed at the breakfast (if one can call that crap "breakfast")... Walking in the elevator was comparable to go to the Terror of Tower at Disneyworld. In the last day, the elevator was broken and I had to take down all my lugagge. By myself, of course. The view from my room was also terrible.

  • Liked — The breakfast was the only tolerable thing
  • Disliked — The hotel as a whole

This is a cheap hotel with cheap facilities, which may be just acceptable if nothing goes wrong. In my case it did. A shirt disappeared with the sheets. Nothing too serious but daily polite enquiries were initially met indifference and mild irritation. On my last day this turned into a pantomime of shouting, abuse and accusations of lying. There are many, better cheap hotels in Athens. Give this one a miss.

This place is very austere and not in very good shape. The lobby is fine, but the rooms are in poor condition and hardly furnished. Also, the receptionist at the desk got in a lengthy and loud argument with another guest while we were waiting for our room in the lobby. This guy had a severe attitude problem. He was helpful if he liked you, but if not, watch out!

  • Liked — It did have air conditioning.
  • Disliked — Everything else.
