Worth weighing

4 to weigh

  • Some rooms are small — Guests looking for lots of space may find the rooms on the compact side, though they are still comfortable.
  • Older carpets — A recurring detail is that carpets in some rooms show their age, which might not suit those with allergies or who prefer no carpet.
  • Modest rating for the price — With a guest rating of 7.0 and a price from £27, the hotel offers a budget option, but the experience may be more utilitarian than luxurious.

“An amazing, reasonably spacious hotel in a big-style building. Comfy, cool rooms with two single beds. Marvellous location, a minute's walk from Agios Pavlos Church. Set in a nice enough area close to the subway and Athens' train station, Metaxourghio tube station and the Acropolis.”
