I stayed at the Athinais for 14 nights and used it as a base when I went to the islands for a couple of days. The hotel is well run and my room attendant Dina was a star. She saw I had wet washing hanging in my room and she made me a rope washing line with pegs on my balcony. It is 2 metro stops from syntagma but I found the location to be perfect. It was not as busy and was only a walk away from great restaurants in kolonaki, national gallery, benaki museum, Cycladic museum, lycabettus hill, Aristotle’s Lyceum.

Nicely presented medium-sized hotel in a pleasant area of the city. Beds were comfortable, reasonable amount of storage. Good spread at breakfast, not too busy. Ate very good meal in the restaurant, but there was also a good pizza restaurant in the square nearby, some bakeries and a couple of good supermarkets within a short walk. The staff were excellent in every respect. Our room was cleaned well each day and on one occasion I had left some socks to dry on the balcony railing...and came back to find them pegged to a makeshift clothes line!

The bathroom was a little cramped, and the shower pressure was a bit low.

This is an excellent place to stay if you need to be near the local conference center (Megaron Athens International Conference Centre)! It is clean and comfortable, the staff are attentive, and I really enjoyed the breakfast. The breakfast served included a nice variety of what appeared to be fresh, local, and authentic foods (delicious) including fresh-squeezed orange juice (the best!). The room had everything I needed it was only ~5 minutes from the conference center by foot. There are many nearby local restaurants to visit and is also close to the the metro if needed. Overall, a great stay!

What not to like?! The hotel is located on the route of the airport-Syntagma Square bus (X95) with a stop about 50 meters from the hotel. Syntagma Square is within reach by foot from the hotel and, from there, most of Athens' attractions. Room is confortable and, in spite of the hotel being located on a bussy avenue, the outside noise is barely noticeable. Breakfast is proper for vacationers and the staff is extremely nice. On the ground floor, there is a coffee/restaurant with good selections and very good service. Finally, the front desk staff is very friendly and helpful if you need information. We would like to mention Ms. Marika! The hotel even provide a bag with some breakfast items if you need to leave before the service starts. Our hotel if we return to Athens!

Nothing to dislike!

The staffs are very friendly and helpful. The cleaners are so helpful and always around to clean your room at every opportunity. The location of my room is facing the road and I would expect the door to be more of higher sound proof properties. Location of the hotel is close to the centre of the city and one can easily get around town.

The breakfast is too modest. the mattress is not so comfy. I came from the Uk and the electric socket in the hotel room is just for european standard. No consideration for people from other parts of the world like form the uk and US to be able to connect our devices like shavers, laptops etc. My laptop went dead the whole time I was there.

The room and bathroom were clean, the bed was comfortable, enough space to store and hang my clothes. Nice desk to work at. Airconditioning was quiet. Windows (if closed) kept almost all the noise from the street out. Breakfast was good; lots of bread, yoghurt, sweets, and some fruits. Wifi was good. Location was excellent to visit the Megaron Conference Center, only a 5 min walk.

Room had a weird low table that was in the way, blocked the path from bed to window. But I just moved it to another location (it was very heavy, though). Street was very noisy, but if you closed the window it was almost quiet. Elevator was very small and slow; awkward door. Shower was very tiny; there was room for a bigger shower. No space to put toiletries near sink and no hook for towel next to sink.

The people who work at Athinais hotel are the most kind, thoughtful and helpful people you will find in Athens. We had a mix up with a reservation and they fixed the problem with grace and generosity. They embody the Greek ideal of Philotimo. In addition, the room was sparkling clean, the property is in an excellent location and the breakfast was delightful. Athinais is a wonderful, family friendly hotel in a central neighborhood that offers a taste of real Greek hospitality.

Fantastic hotel in a great location, basic but tastefully decorated, comfortable and quiet. breakfast was delicious with good options and even gluten free bread which was much appreciated! Staff is lovely and very warm and welcoming. Hotel is surrounded with streets filled with cafes, restaurants, bakeries, and also its very close to bus and metro stops, quick trip to city center. I was very pleasantly surprised with experience, and value for money, i would strongly recommend it!

Everything was spotlessly clean. Staff were friendly. The buffet breakfast was delicious and includes something for everyone. Bedding was comfortable (except the pillows) and clean. There was a balcony, but no furniture on it. The location was also great, between two stations on line 3 of the metro, which will take you everywhere you want to visit at very low cost. I stayed in November and paid about 70 EUR a night; all considered, it was great value for money and I would absolutely stay here again.

The pillows were a bit lumpy and not very supportive, but two were too much. The Douwe Egberts coffee machine in the breakfast buffet seems to use powder for both the coffee and the milk, and the output is really not great, which is unfortunate because everything else on offer was delicious. The balcony is a nice touch but not really useful since there was no furniture on which to sit and enjoy the warm evening air.

Top mark for exceptionally friendly and polite staff! It's an old hotel, but was recently renovated, so communal areas are modern and have a fresh look. Rooms are ok, furnished in a very basic style, but it's good value for money. I would stay again in this hotel.

On the busy main road, so a lot of noise if balcony doors are open. Also noisy internally, you can hear other guests slamming doors of lifts and their bedrooms, so not recommended for those that are sensitive to noise.
