I visited Ilissos hotel last year! I tried to book again this year but it was fully booked :(!

It's a good hotel at a reasonable price. The breakfast is nice and customer service is good as well. The hotel is very clean.

It is very close to acropolis and other touristic attractions! All in all, it is a very good hotel and we had a pleasant stay there.

We were very satisfied with this stay. We looked for a price value hotel and we got a very goood one. 3 star comfort, very good breakfast, room safe, very clean room although small, that is why we rate it as 3 star. Free parking was available, also free internet even in rooms.

Stayed at the LLissos in June 2014. We had a late flight and only arrived in Athens at 20:30 Hours. Once at the hotel we were met by reception staff who efficiently booked us in and took time to give us a map and explain where the local eateries were. The room was modern and beds very comfortable. A television was supplied with some limited English channels. We had no view to speak of, only what appeared to be a school on the other side of the road. The hotel seems to be in a residential zone, with many local cafes and restaurants catering for locals. I personally thought that this was a positive thing as we were not charged extortionate tourist prices for food and the food itself was of a superior quality. We felt totally safe in the area and found everyone to be extremely helpful and friendly, albeit with a slight language barrier stemming from the fact that we were just outside the tourist zone. I did note that my attempts to say hello and thank you in Greek were met with a smile and appreciation. Although away from the tourist zone it was only a ten minute walk to the main area where the Acropolis is located. The is a roof-top terrace that has breathtaking views over Athens and the Acropolis. It really was a pleasure to sit there at night and take in the Acropolis, lit up and towering over Athens. There did appear to be a bar on the terrace but this was closed throughout our three day stay. However, very near to the hotel was a stall that sold cheap beer and wine which you can take up to the terrace for what would be a fraction of the price (we were not sure if this was allowed but no-one seemed to mind). We had the terrace to ourselves each night, although it must be noted that the hotel was quite quiet at the time. The hotel is relatively central to all tourist attractions and all can be walked easily. The hotel was extremely easy to find and to travel to from the airport. We took the Metro from the airport, taking the Blue line, changing at Syntagma and then going two stops on the red line to Sygrou-Fix. Once there, simply turn right at the top of the stairs leading out of the Metro, keep walking for 5-6 ,minutes and the hotel will be seen on your left. We only encountered the reception staff who spoke good English and were very helpful. We enquired regarding a taxi to the port and were recommended to come to reception at a certain time where a taxi will be called for us. We did this and the receptionist called the taxi and spoke with the driver when he arrived to ensure we were taken to the correct location. Whilst waiting for the taxi the receptionist offered us free drinks and biscuits/pastries from the breakfast buffet which had not started yet due to the time we were leaving, this was despite the fact that we did not have breakfast included with our accommodation. I have read reviews of people stating that they were ripped off by taxi drivers in Athens, however, we found the price to be a lot cheaper than expected and the driver not only took us to our ferry opposed to just dropping us off at the port entrance, but walked onto the ferry to enquire that we were about to board the correct one.

I would highly recommend this hotel for it’s location, excellent staff, modern rooms and very very reasonable price. The terrace with the view of the Acropolis was worth the price alone.
