Art Hotel Athens - Athens

Good location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast. Room is rather small, and noisey becasue the noise comes through bathroom door which is designed to have no lock and hence cannot be properly closed. Still good overall.

On busy main road so if you want quiet, ask for a room at the back - hardly any traffic noise there but only a view of typical city dereliction. About a 10 minute walk with suitcases from Omonia IF YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING! - "MARNI" is about two km long. You need to locate "SOKRATUS" 100 m to west of Metro station & turn right there. BUT its not too well lit & pavements & crossings are VERY UNEVEN if using wheeled suitcases. WISH WE'd known this before. Found VENERE link to directions somewhat lacking - (emailed Hotel for guidance but received no response!) Very helpful receptionist(s) (Lisa especially) - speak excellent English. Free internet but slightly quirky keyboard. The tourist bus service 400 is a good buy - buy on bus (E5):- ticket entitles you to 24 hours free public transport throughout Athens. Terminates at Archaelogical Museum about 5 mins from Hotel. Very good Greek restaurant (Poza Iana but written in Greek) in Valetsiou off Exharia Square 10 - 12 mins walk from Hotel. For fish lovers- try the Gilthead! Also best Greek Salads we found all week. Hope this helps - (happy to respond to further queries via Venere.)

I had read many of the reviews of other people and found it to be as good as many said it was. It is not in the main tourist part of town but easily walked to them or a short metro ride. The laptop for guest use was a nice touch. The restaurant recommendations we received were excellent, we would not have found the restaurant by ourselves. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

We only stayed one night on transit to Naples so it was hard to judge, but the hotel and staff were lovely, breakfast was good, internet access was accessible for free 24/7 which was great. The only negative thing I have to say is that our room was boiling hot all night, the airconditioning didn't work well at all. We had friends staying in the room next to ours and theirs was fine so it may have just been our room.

I travel a lot in Europe and I stay in many hotels. It's the first time I pay for a standard room and the hotel give me a suite for the same price. Internet free acess in room and in the lounge. Restaurant in hotel is not good, no quality food not good menu. I will return in this hotel for B&B but I will have a dinner outside.
