Hotel located in a busy area and close to Underground station (3 minutes) The staff was helpfull and nice. The room was perfect for our 2 nights stay 3 persons: spacious, clean and with a relatively good phonic isolation. Breakfast was excellent with large choice and good quality. An advise: do not park your car in surrounding streets. Mine has been damaged by robbers. Better to park in a car park even if quite expensive.

We would definitely stay at this hotel again. We found the staff very friendly and helpful and most important, all the receptionists were able to speak English. We found our room very clean, including the bed linen and towels. Thumbs down for the size of the room. However, the price and location(close to transport) of the hotel outweights that! Folks, the breakfast was fabulous! We had a great time. Would recommend this hotel!

Located near by Omonia square, the hotel is very convenient to get on subway, to shop or to eat out. National archeology museum is walking distance, you won't miss the road. The reason why I chose this hotel is free wifi, and their internet connection was very easy. I stayed different rooms, one night with bath tab, two night with shower only. Both is well above acceptable quality for me compare to the price. One tip I can give to other traveller. I walked from Larissa rail way station to this hotel, and near by larissa station, 3 guy approached me with claiming themselve as passport control. That was fun to see such traditional rip-off artist. I ignored them and walked away, and they did not follow me.

Perfectly reasonable hotel in central location and overall a good value stay. Area a little 'colourful' but we had no problems. Handy for Metro. Hotel in general a bit smoky but that's fairly typical for Greece in my experience. Wouldn't recommend for romantic break but perfectly okay as base for sightseeing.

This is an ordinary, average hotel in the middle of a tourist area. It provided what it said it offerred. We liked the little balcony off the room which had a heavy security door for safety.

It's on a main street but not as close to Omonia Square as expected. The street is slightly uphill towards Omonia Square, so be prepared to spend extra effort in walking towards Omonia metro station after check out unless you catch a taxi. But the street is single direction (from Omonia), so going to Omonia Square may be quite frustrating due to heavy traffic in surrounding streets. We were stuck on a coach for 15 minutes after returning from Meteora. Room decorations and facilities are not as new as Best Western Zinon Hotel which is owned by the same hotel owner.

The hotel is very convenient if you want to begin visiting the Archaelogical Museum;a few minutes' walk to get to the entrance.The personnel is nice and helpful(there was a bus/train strike in Athens, and they got me a taxi at 6.30 am for only 30 euros to the airport:in any European city I would have spent a fortune!).The only problem was that 2 days before arriving in Athens, they changed my hotel!I didn't go to the Pythagorion, but to the Best Western Museum, where I found a very small single room, instead of the spacious room I had seen during the booking on line.Yet I guess double rooms must be very comfortable.I would go back there if I had to visit Athens again.

Hard to beat for 45 € a night for a best western hotel in the center of Athens.Only downsides are that rooms are a bit cold and you cannot manage the heat from it. The broadband internet was useless for me cause they didnt specify you needed a wireless card to bring with you as I thought there would be an ethernet plug. Besides that great deal

Ottima tariffa per il servizio offerto. Le camere sono un po' piccole ed alcune affacciano sul cavedio interno, ma comunque pulite e silenziose. La zona non è delle più belle ma è situata strategicamente rispetto ai siti archeologici, musei etc. e ben collegata.
