Great, clean, value for money hotel. The staff are friendly and eager to please. Neighbourhood a bit rough, watch for pick pockets on the metro. We would stay at the Ariston again!

We stopped by Athens for 2 nights while going for a trip around the islands. Probably the best hotel we stayed in during the whole trip, complying with the most basic european standards (...yes we do consider hotels in the island a bit overrated compared to the rest of europe, but this was not the case).

staff is genuinely helpful, breakfast is abundant and definetely good value for money, also location is ok, 2 min walk from a metro station, even though the area might look a bit dodgy but it's ok.

the only downside: rooms facing the main road might be a bit noisy. We shut the window and turned the air conditioning on, still fans got pretty noisy as well, but nothing really you can get too much annoyed for.

We had an amazing vacation in Athens and Ariston Hotel made it even better! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by an amazingly nice receptionist (thanks, Matina!) who upgraded our room form a regular one to a deluxe. When we got to our floor, some of the regular rooms were being cleaned and we got a peek: they look comfortable and the design is wonderful, but the deluxe is more spacious, has a bathtub and 2 balconies. They cleaned our room and changed our towels everyday. Oh, and it isn't that noisy! We bought earplugs, as suggested, because we thought we won't be able to sleep... we didn't need them. The hotel didn't have a map, but Matina got us one the next morning. Ariston is a great hotel, with extremely kind and helpful staff, great location (a few feet away from the metro), clean, confortable and has a cute, fresh design. We got a lot more than what we paid for! We will definitely stay there again!
