Diros Hotel

The whole room + bathroom was extremely clean, and they let me have early check in. The bathroom had plenty of very hot water all day and night - the pressure was high - but the showerhead needed to be handheld. Otherwise fine. High-quality toilet-paper. There is a fridge, a desk, a good wardrobe-closet + chair. Downstairs they have a PC with a printer, in case you need to print out stuff. They also have a bar with very affordable prices (actually the beer was cheaper there, than in the kiosk at the corner). Before arrival they answered all my questions - and very fast as well. Bed was nice, good matresses, but they have these kind of greek-style covers with only a sheet under. I dont like them that much. But it was not cold, and they were not dirty. The aircon was also very efficient + they had central heating. Outside the room was a tiny balcony. I had a room that was facing the yard, rather than the street, so it was very quiet. The breakfast is great value. 7 euros for a plate + juice and coffee. The metro is literally two minutes walk away - something that proved to be great. National museum of Archeology was a ten minutes walk, and Monastiraki is also super-near. Just behind the hotel, is a very big and nice church. Otherwise you ll find all kind of shops and restaurants in the area. It is not a typical touristic area. On the opposite side of the street there were some extremely dodgy quarters, BUT if you stayed clear of these streets, it was totally fine. Directly opposite the hotel is also a police-station, which adds up to the feeling of security. At the corner of the metro there is an excellent 24-7 bakery (Attika) with great food, coffees, wine and cafe-area overlooking the square. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I felt safe and the place was orderly. For a place in this price-cathegory, this is a great deal. Before I stayed in Diros, I spent 3 nights in a four-star hotel nearby. Diros was better value for the price, to be honest.

Perhaps it would be nice with proper duvets.

The front desk guy was great. Took the time to answer all my questions, taught me some Greek words.

The bathroom was a little cramped. The bed was two twin sized pushed together and they slid around. The neighborhood was kind of rough.

The best quality to price ratio for the room I ever had - I really enjoyed excellent view from a very large balcony with my beers cold thanks to a fridge in a room. The bed was comfy, plenty of electricity sockets (also just by a bed), a nice desk in the room but most importantly separate chairs and a table on the balcony. Make sure you stay as much top floor as possibible, and ideally in rooms X04 (i.e. 804, 704, 604) as these have much better view of the Omonia sq. than other rooms. The best restaurant nearby is I guess Η Στοά Αλλιώς - Stoa Allios (Gamveta 14), some 5 mins from the hotel. In the "tourist trap" zone, reasonable prices and unbeattable view had Antica Restaurant & Cafe (Adrianoy 25).

I was OK with both the smal shower and minimalistic breakfast, but for those requiring large shower and buffet breakfast this may not be such a good hotel if these people do not appreciate the view from the balcony. The breakfast was juice, coffee, 2 slices toast bread w/ 1 slice cheap ham and cheese, olives, and some sweet bread with jam, honey etc.

Great value for price. Located on a metro station and a HOP ON AND OFF bus station. 15 min walk from the center of Athens 20 min walk from the Acropolis. Very Small room. Tiny bathroom. A balcony. Good hot water and a strong A/c. Simple breakfast for 7euyros. The area is not the best but still safe to walk at night. Staff very friendly and helpful. A small frige, no safe in the room. I will come again. Photos on web site are realistic except for the meeting room. It's a lot smaller and dark. But who cares ?🤣

Tiny bathroom.but clean. If you come for a honeymoon style that's not the place for u. If u need a place to sleep and shower while touring Athens and you r not spoiled - great place !

The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was central and convenient, as it had the metro, currency exchange and attractions a short walk away. The room had a balcony, reliable wi-fi, personal fridge and the room was serviced when requested.

Bathroom door didnt have a lock, I am solo traveller so isnt normally a issue but the toilet being so close to the main entrance way and the elevator doorway just outside was slightly off putting. Despite the area being very central it was also run down. If the room had a personal kettle that would of been a massive bonus (I'm form the UK so do like a nice cup of tea).

Clean rooms, quiet hotel, central location. Lovely, polite, accommodating and professional reception staff. Good WiFi. Probably the best budget hotel in the area. If you’re just looking for a basic & clean room in a safe environment this is the place. Yes, the area is a bit sketchy but I never felt unsafe or uncomfortable at all. Quick walk to all Athen’s tourist attractions and Gazi and its vibrant nightlife is just 15mns walk.

You have to leave your door key & get it back at the reception everytime you enter and leave the hotel which is old school and annoying.

Central location, many restaurant and coffee nearby. Rooms are clean and the staff are extremely helpful and kind. Wifi was excellent.

View from the balcony was poor. The neighbourhood streets are very dirty and sometimes scary. You should ask for housekeeping.

We stayed for 5 days so I believe we have objective opinion of this hotel. Overall very nice price/quality ratio. Room had everything you need, plus small balcony. Comfortable beds, AC, closet, table, nightstands, minifridge, even TV with English shows. View from balcony was to the street so a little loud, but either way balcony had no tables and chairs so it is not meant for relaxing there. If you are light sleeper you should find out if this hotel has other options. For us it was not a problem, especially after long day in heat and walking. Room was clean, for future cleaning you have to ask in reception, they don't just clean your room, change sheets and towels every day. We took breakfast option as well and I must say that it is very very basic. Every day is the same - boiled eggs, bread, cheese and ham, yogurt, cereal and jam. Some fruits were there as well. What I would wish for them to have is at least some tomato un cucumber. Maybe omelet or some sausages would be nice too. In general you could fill up your stomach for the day but small things could help us enjoy breakfast in hotel more. Of course you can always grab breakfast outside and choose whatever you want. Location - close to Metro station (about 200m), about 13-20 min walk to Old Town and sightseeing. I enjoyed location, my travel partner was not as happy and felt unsafe in neighborhood in general. Personally I didn't see any danger but you might meet some homeless people or drug addicts in neighborhood.

Breakfast could be better

Excellent Value for Money Cleanliness. Location central and easy access to facilities. Staff accommodating. Spacious High room with a view

Bathroom small No shampoo or shower gell Can be noisy as on main road

Location is excellent. I got silence, a clean bed, a clean toilet, and I didn't pay that much. I think the price-quality ration is excellent.

Bathroom condition could be improved (extraction, poor maintenance).
