Good location and rooftop pool is excellent after a long day. Staff are really friendly and the food was good

Air con was very noisy and it’s not easy to get the right temp as it’s just 3 set speeds, but it’s a minor thing.

Hotel is within walking distance to Acropolis and Plaka

In the street where the hotel is located there are very high buildings, and sound tends to create echo chamber where the hotel is located. So cars and motorcycles sound very loud when they pass in front of the hotel. Sometimes very late at night. Hotel is not sound proof.

The room was modern and clean, great big bathroom. The pool and view from the rooftop bar were both fantastic.

The location was not the best, we didn’t feel comfortable walking through the surrounding streets but it was ok to jump in a taxi which didn’t cost too much.

On our first night, we were given a room at the 2nd floor which was filthy. The carpet dirty, smelly room , bed seemed to have bed bugs, and the worst toilet/shower with kumps of moulds on the tiles and very smelly. I had allergy attack because of the room condition and vomitted on our first night. I was gagging everytime I would go to the toilet. I then requested for a room transfer in the morning asking for a room without carpet. Immediately, the reception guy on the morning of the 27th Dec 2024 accomodated our request and moved us to a better and seemed like a newly renovated room. I was very thankful for that staff who granted our request. This made our stay until the 30th December better and more comfortable. The breakfast was always beautiful and with lots of choices with traditional Greek breakfasts available. The staff at the buffet breakfast were all very lovely especially the one with the curls, she wasn't there on our last breakfast day (30th Dec), i would have thanked her for her beautiful service from the 27th-29th.

The first room at the second floor Room 206, i don't think this is still habitable. People can get sick of the condition of this room's carpet, bed and toilet.

As someone who has travelled extensively and have stayed in a fair few Best Western hotels, I booked the Dorian expecting it to be very nice . I had booked a Queen Comfort room . After checking in , I went to my room which was anything but a comfort room and definitely was not what I had booked . For the first time in my life , I returned to reception and told the staff that I wasn’t happy with the standard of my room . Greece is the 69th country I have visited and I have stayed in hundreds of hotels , both in the UK and across 6 continents. I must say , the staff were fabulous, they moved me to a suite , so I had three nights in a beautiful room . The staff were very friendly and incredibly helpful . The rooftop bar and Pool were lovely , with stunning views of the Acropolis. I had a wonderful time !

See above .

For one person, the room was a comfortable size with a bathroom bigger than my own at home. The staff were very friendly and the roof-top bar was an added bonus (lovely views of Athens). The close proximity to Omonia metro station meant getting into the city centre was even easier. Overall, it worked well as a base of operations while I explored the area each day.

The back roads around the location weren't particularly well lit at night (Google maps will send you down them as the quickest route when walking from Monastiraki). This was negated once I realised it only took a few minutes extra walking via Omonia (which is along well lit and well frequented main roads).

Choice of breakfast, view of Acropolis from rooftop gardens

Street is dangerous during night. Lots of illegal activity

The hotel is very central, located in the popular Omonoia, is an excellent spot to move by foot in Athens. The terrace is a big plus & the room was super comfy! As solo traveller, it had everything I needed to move freely. About the neighbourhood: I was a bit confused by the mixed reviews, so I went and saw with my own eyes. It's a popular neighbourhood, meaning that you will encounter every layer of society. If you are used to travel in big Mediterranean cities, you will get the same. It's an ok neighbourhood. Just common sense at night. That's all.

Great hotel with rooftop terrace with Acropolis view and pool. Excellent breakfast. Great staff with positive vibes. Overall excellent value compared to other hotels a bit more central to the action.

It is some 10-15 min walking to the action around Monastiraki and the neighborhood is much less well maintained than the centre tourist spots. Still felt ok to come back late to the hotel though. And Omonia metro station is at less than 5 minutes walking, with 2 metro lines bringing you anywhere in a short time.

The hotel is located downtown at walking steps from the Omonia underground station. You can walk to the acropolis right from the hotel, The breakfeast offers a wide range of dishes. Don't hesitate to taste the traditionnal ones, mashed peas, slices of pies filled with a mix of spinach and cheese or mini-strudel kind of pastries. I also enjoyed having a drink at the roof top bar that offers great view on the athenian landscape, especially the acropolis hill and its enlightened monuments. Hotel staff is friendly and helpful.
