The Convo Athens Riviera

Very beautiful and harmony aesthetics as coming in to the hotel. Beautiful entrance and very convenient place for transportation around the city. Very friendly the receptionist at our check in.

However we experience lack of communication with the hotel before our arrive as we was trying to upgrade our room with no response. The room was very uncomfortable. The bed was very uncomfortable for two people and the design of the bed was unstable. Probably its ideal for one person.

maybe not ideal for a first trip to Athens, but the location is convenient enough. right opposite the hotel, 2 trolley busses run to Syntagma. it's ideal if you are staying for a night or two between airport and ferries or vice versa. the surroundings offer ample options for any meal of the day, there's also a place selling tickets for the public transport right around the corner. more sophistocated shopping needs will be met in Kallithea, half an hour's walk or 5 minutes by bus up the road to Athens. the staff are helpful and friendly. the windows keep the noise out quite nicely, although that's not too important, as the area is rather quiet at night. tourism-wise, it's very close to Stavros Niarchos Foundation with National Opera and National Library (around 10 minutes). the coastal tram line makes the riviera and Peiraias very easily accessible.

the doors are not soundproof, so you may hear your neighbours' every word as long as they're in the hallway. once they are in their rooms, however, it's not an issue.

I recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Athens. Despite not being located in the city center, it has an ideal location. Buses and trolleys to the center depart from the other side of the street (it takes about 25 minutes to get to the center), and they drop you off literally at the hotel's doorstep. Additionally, there is a tram right next to the hotel, running along the coast or in the opposite direction to the Port of Piraeus. If you wish to visit the islands - the cruises start from the nearest marina. In terms of transportation, it's a perfect spot. The hotel is comfortable, and for a tourist trip to Athens to explore or spend time at the beach, you don't need anything else. The rooms are cleaned daily, towels are changed, and so on. There is Wi-Fi, a TV, a kettle, a mini-fridge, and a safe in the room, along with towels, a hairdryer, and air conditioning. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was small, but sufficient to rest after a day full of experiences and sightseeing. I will definitely come back if I return to Athens.

What surprised me was that the sink was in the room, not in the bathroom (the bathroom had a toilet and a shower). There was a lack of a towel hook near the sink. The only thing that, in my opinion, is not necessary is getting breakfast at the hotel. You can skip that.

A nice simple hotel with polite and friendly staff; close to restaurants and convenience stores. There are a couple of bus stops and a tram stop next to the hotel which makes it easy to get to downtown and Piraeus port or to one of the many beaches alongside the tram line towards Glyfada. A desk in the room and as well as couple of tables in the lobby were available, if you need to work remotely. Also a nice patio/seating area in the front. Good wifi. Breakfast was available but we just went to the small bakery next to the hotel for some pastries and frappes.

No chairs/sitting on the balcony.

The room was decent in size, not too much space for luggage so it might be an issue if you’re there for a longer time (we only stayed 3 nights). It was clean, the staff was very friendly and the breakfast was good. Not really “sea view”, but you could see the sea somewhere in the distance, to your right :) (we didn’t consider it a problem, as we checked the map prior to the trip and knew how far it was from the shore). Quick and easy access to both near by beaches as well as city center - if you’re the type of person that likes walks, it will take a little over an hour to get to the center by foot and we loved the walk. Long story short, we would definitely recommend it if you wanna combine beach and visiting during your stay.

The bathroom is indeed small (the sink is basically in the shower and the shower doesn’t close, so if someone is taking a shower, the bathroom floods and becoms unusable until it dries).

My stay at Convo 336 in Athens left me with mixed experience. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay, which made us feel very welcome. The breakfast they served was delicious, and the cozy common space added to the overall pleasant atmosphere.

There were some downsides to our stay. The rooms were a bit on the small side, which made it feel a bit cramped. Unfortunately, the air conditioning in our room was not working, and this was quite uncomfortable, especially in the Athens heat. The glass doors to the wc/bathroom is not very convenient in general. Overall, it was a decent stay, but the issues with the room left something to be desired.

The property was clean with very friendly staff who could not be more helpful

The se view is not actually looking onto the see it is onto the road which does however have a lovely little green area but I would not splurge for the sea view If I had the option again, the location is a bit far from Athens main attractions and a bit far from the beach however if you like walking it is perfect you get to see a lot it’s near some big stadiums and lovely parks and 1 hour walk into Athens is well worth it

I loved the interior design and the location of the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful with directions in getting to places. The bus stop was across the road. I was impressed that UK power sockets and cable charge points were provided. Lots of nice eating places around the restaurant made it convenient for dinner also.

There was no wardrobe in the room- only three hangers on the wall which made organising my clothes a bit tricky. I would have expected a wardrobe or chest of drawers for my clothes to be included .

We liked that we were able to check in even if we arrived late at around 2 a.m. Personnel is really nice and helpful. The rooms are well equipped, beds are comfortable. Hotel stored our luggage for a week for free while we went on a sailing trip. Obviously we booked the same hotel for the last day of our trip.

Receiving WhatsApp scam messages pretending to be Convo 336 hotel manager indicates personal data leakage in the hotel system. I have received and blocked at least 4 different messages with different manager names requesting to press links like "I need parking" "I need taxi" etc.

Breakfast had decent options and was beautifully presented. The room was small but very practical and accommodating. The furniture is simple but everything was new. Overall it gave a fresh, minimalist and practical vibe.

The only things I would make a note of is lack of a surface top in the bathroom to put a couple of things, and that the bed was quite high, which was not a problem for me, but may be difficult for some.
