My mother, daughter, and I travel frequently and usually enjoy our accommodations; however, the Omiros was the exception to our usual experiences. When we arrived, the man working the desk watched us, three women, lug our heavy suitcases from the cab to the lobby. He never once offered any assistance, not even to get them to our room. He was very surly! At least, when he went off duty, he was replaced by a pleasant man (one who agreed with our evaluation of the other worker).

We consoled ourselves with the promise of the hotel's view of the Acropolis. Maybe, if we had climbed up on the roof and extended a very long ladder, we might have had a peek at the Acropolis. The room was tiny and nasty. It smelled, and the carpet needed replacing years ago. We could have aired out the room by opening the window, but the balcony was so nasty that I feared germs.

Overall, the Omiros is the worst place I have ever stayed. We tried to excuse its faults by telling ourselves that we were getting a good rate. Ha! One night, as we walked back to our dump, we passed several other hotels, most within two blocks of ours. We stopped in at two, asked to see rooms, checked the rates, and discovered wonderful accommodations at very reasonable rates. Thus, we found that we were not only staying in a dump but that we were paying a lot of money to do so!

After seeing the room and before we unpacked, we asked to cancel our reservation so that we could move to one of the nicer hotels in the area. We were told that because we had booked through an online booking agency that we could not cancel.

Whatever you do, do not stay at the Omiros!

This hotel is in a Great location, but that is all it has going for it. The staff is nice and you can purchase drinks in the lobby. There is one small elevator and the entire hotel smelled like cigarettes. The bed was uncomfortable and the carpet was dirty. The bathroom was clean and newer...but it was very, very, tiny. It is on a quiet street and the airconditioning worked well. The breakfast is basic --cheese, canned fruit, and bread. I would not stay here again because there are other hotels for this price that are a bit nicer.

I stayed at the Omiros for 3 nights. As a single traveller with limited time, I wanted to stay in a centrally-located hotel. Omiros was perfect - a 5 minute walk to Syntagma Square and the X95 airport bus stop, and within walking distance to Acropolis, museums, Sunday market, shops and restaurants. The hotel is also in a safe area, so I didn't have a problem with walking back alone late at night. My room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was good (I agree with the other traveller review - their yogurt is delicious!). The reception desk is open 24 hours, and the staff was very friendly and helpful, and even gave me a discount when I decided to book another night after my return from Santorini.

My husband and I stayed in the Omiros hotel for 3 nights.
Hotel is located within 5 min. walk from the SIntagma square, the restaurant row with the views of the Acropolis, 10 min. walk to Plaka.
For a short stay it's a perfect spot. Hotel is very basic but clean ( although I was surprized that sheets weren't changed daily, only every other day).
Air conditioner was working very efficiently.
Staff is friendly and helpful. Many thanks to Dimitrius at the reseption who was absolutely delightful and exptremely helpful. He works datetime shift, speaks very good English and is absolutely wonderful in helping the guests with their requests, questions, etc...
Breakfast is basic, but we'd suggest to try their yogurt - very good.
It's a nice place if you are not picky and want a good location for a decent price.
