Elikon

Very close to Omonia Square & Metro. A few late night eating and drinking options. Cheap clothes market close by. Excellent supermarket, bakery and pharmacy close by. Not a bad base for exploring the city. Americans will almost certainly describe this area as "sketchy" because of the graffiti, drug users and homeless, but the local police were always visible. Welcome to post pandemic Europe folks ! Comfy beds. Free shower gel. Strong WiFi. Fridge in room. BBC News on TV. The staff we met were all very friendly and helpful. Yes, you can leave your luggage. Metro tip - it is well worth buying the 72 hour Metro ticket for €20. It becomes "live" when you first validate at the airport station. You get unlimited "swipes" in and out of the Athens Metro within 72 hours including your final departure journey to the airport. (The single fare into the city is €9 !) Also, when you arrive at Omonia via the Metro, (probably after changing at Syntagma,) walk forward along the platform, in the direction of travel, to find the best exit. (We unwisely used the "rear" stairwell but the two exit gates would not let my wife through and she was stuck here until the next train came in.)

The air con was an unexpected bonus for us but it wasn't particularly strong. The rooms are very compact as is the bathroom. Three people in three single beds with luggage might struggle. TV remote was problematic but not a big deal. Shower door was missing but Greek bathrooms all have floor drainage anyhow.

The management / reception team were extremely pleasant and accommodating. Stored our luggage for us so we could continue to explore on our last day there. Great location to catch public transportation. Grocery store, café and restaurants with in a few steps of the hotel. The property was absolutely spotless. Beds were very comfortable. The rooms come with a kettle and refrigerator - an amenity I always appreciate.

Nothing that the property owner has any control over i.e. traffic noise. We opted to sleep with the window open so we got street noise. Otherwise, a wonderful property - no complaints at all.

a very good thing about this accommodation was the location, it was actually in the middle of Athens, near the metro station, market, pharmacy, restaurant, confectionery. From the accommodation you had a straight road to any attraction, a maximum of 15-20 minutes on foot. The room, a bit small, but for a city break it was acceptable. large refrigerator, equipped bathroom, air conditioning. The workers there were very pleasant and friendly.

even though it was located in the center of Athens, the area was a bad one in Athens, full of street people, drug addicts and a lot of dirt and bad smell. The room was very warm, and since we were coming in summer, there was no air to breathe at night, the window did not face because it was small and with an exit next to a wall, and with the air conditioning you can't sleep because you get cold. the bed was quite uncomfortable because your back hurt after a night of sleeping on your back. But, as the price ratio is very good, I still recommend it if you want to be close to everything in the middle of Athens. The location did everything.

Good location, good staff,room cleaning and new towels every day.

small rooms, but ok for short stay, and little small bed. Little creepy neighborhood, homeless people, little dark street,no movement...like weard feeling

Absolutely value for money. Clean, comfortable, hot water instantly, friendly staff, cheap parking 4 mins from the hotel

Hotel is 15min from downtown Athens , outside hotel 5m from enterance there is market for grocerys , restaurant , bakery and caffe bar , also 5m from enterance is Omnia metro station from where you can reach any part of Athens , there is also taxi driver station and across the street there is Bus station for the buses who are touring Athens for viewing , and everything is litterally whithin 2-4min walking distance. Room is equiped with air conditioning, toilet with shower whithin room , and refrigerator, and rooms are cleaned on daily basis. In short , very good value for money.

Friendly staff. The price was excellent and had everything we needed. The room was clean and comfortable with a comfortable bed. It was small but that didn’t bother us as we were barely there. Perfect for a quick stop over. The tiny lift was also a life saver! Lots of little restaurants around the Omonoia Square and the Omonoia metro is literally around the corner.

Location didn’t feel safe from the afternoon. Lots of homeless and drug dealers around the square but that seemed to be everywhere in Athens city. Burnt my wrist on the hot water faucet - be careful it gets hot!

The hotel is very close to the metro and to all the attractions. There are many restaurants and shops near the hotel. Basically, everything you need is close by. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. It's a no frills hotel that is perfect for budget travellers. Excellent value for money! The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Dimitra helped us carry our luggage when we arrived and attended to all our questions. George helped with the luggage when we left. Thanks, Dimitra and George! 🙂.

The blankets were quite thin. Can be fixed by adjusting the temp or requesting for extra blankets.

Excellent location - just 5mins from the metro. The room was very clean, the beds comfy, clean and fresh linen and it had good lighting. The room also had a good size balcony from which we could see the Lycabettus Hill. The room was big enough for two people and the internet was excellent. The staff were very helpful and were able to store our luggage after we had checked out. Even though the hotel doesn't have a parking area they recommended two parking stations which were in the close vicinity.

Another mirror in the room itself as well as the bathroom would have made it more functional - especially for two women :-) and unfortunately we were woken up at 4 am by our 'neighbours' taking a shower.

Location was good but also has a reputation as a homeless with people sleeping on the street. There are needles on the ground. It's an odd place where on one corner you get the seedy side of Athens and on the other side a vibrant, busy city life.

The homeless and drug users sadden me. The hotel is positioned at Junction of great location on one side and junky on the other side.
