Tropical Hotel

- Staff Very respectful and helpful - Room Quite spacious with outdated furniture, mini fridge, mini capsules coffee machine, hair dryer, AC, balcony and sea view. The view was beautiful in the mornings and evenings. The hotel is in front of 3x3 highway, so if you're looking for a quiet place this is not the right choice. However, there are double windowed doors to suffocate the noise coming from the highway. Highway noise wasn't a problem for us and we knew about it prior to our booking. - Breakfast Decent breakfast. Few different types of buns, kellogs, eggs, sausages, yoghurt, etc. Donuts were really delicious. - Beach Couple of beaches close to the hotel. Bikini Beach in front of the hotel. Bikini Beach is divided into 2 sides - sunbeds (pay) and just a beach (free). Water is very salty and it gets deep really early, so be aware. - Area Nohting much going around the area. It's around 8 kilometers away from city center. You can easily get to the city center with a taxi, bus, tram or metro. The hotel is close to Marina Delta Kallithea if you're looking to take on Athens Day Cruise, which we recommend. - Getting Around We bought a 5-day travel tickets to get around the city easier and without problems. We mostly used bus, tram and metro. Google Maps really helped to navigate around and see all available transport options, however the arrival times were sometimes off, but in that case, next to the station are timetables displaying when the next transport is coming.

- Cigarette smoke If someone next to your balcony is smoking a cigarette and your balcony door is open, smoke is coming inside the room. For us, non smokers it was not pleseant. - Wi-Fi Bad Wi-Fi. We had to use our mobile data which was way more responsive. - Bathroom Flooding in the bathroom after showering, but after the first time we figured out how to minimize flooding. - Miscellaneous items Some items that we would have liked were not in the room, like bottle opener, wine glasses (or any glasses in general).

The view was awesome, the hotel is easy reachable also by public transport. The staff at the hotel were very polite. Overall all happy

Just a note - be aware that the hotel is on the main road and at night it could get noisy as there is a lot of traffic.

All the staff, apart from the morning desk chap, were courteous, helpful and friendly. Location was good, across from the beach. Easy to go by public transport into Athens. Room was a decent size. Alex in the kitchen, greeted us by name each morning at breakfast, which was sweet!

Lack of fresh fruit at breakfast, although this was apparently because it was out of season. Although the hotel was fairly full. Our room didn’t get made up one day, despite us having left at 7am to go in a day trip. No big deal, just an oversight. Bathroom plumbing and fittings need some attention! Despite double glazing, some traffic noise as it is on a motorway type of road with 24/7 traffic racing past at speed. Wifi was rubbish as was choice of TV channels.

The staff was very helpful, especially the breakfast waiter. The lady did her best to have gluten free bread even if the reception staff did not inform her about our request. Smiling, friendly staff. Very good size of the room, confortable bed.

The hotel is located near a very crowded, noisy, traffic road. The good part is that it is very close to the sea and the beach. Also, the windows were doubled to avoid the noise, but if the balcony door is open, there is a lot of noise. There were no fresh vegetables for the breakfast, but we had fresh fruits.

Beautiful hotel, clean and spacious room, polite staff, good breakfast buffet with good coffee, nice space with tables next to the pool where you can have your breakfast or your afternoon coffee if you want to sit outside. There are two choices for a beach just across the street for having a swim and sunbathing and many choices for food and drinks across the beach. The hotel is 15 minutes away from the center of Athens and the suburb of Glyfada by public transportation, in case you want to go shopping and find manicure/pedicure, hairdressers service etc.

There was nothing to complain about.

Great room, spacious & well appointed. Excellent breakfast in very pleasant dining area. Convenient and easy to get to from airport after late flight arrival. 24 hour check in desk.

Noisy! Hotel faces directly onto busy main road, which had loud traffic late into the night. Had to use earplugs, and still struggled to get to sleep, despite double doors onto the balcony. Restaurant /bar was closed in the evening when we arrived (fairly late on a Sunday night in March) - not a problem for us but glad we weren't expecting to get something to eat, and a beer would have been nice. Bed a little soft for my taste - very thick mattress topper. May be best to check re availability of parking - there only seem to be 2 private off road spaces?

The location was excellent. The mattress was very comfortable. The staff were very pleasant and attentive. The breakfast was good although we prefer fewer carb options.

The pool was not as it seemed on the website. I thought it was a full sized pool, but it was very small, and you had to make reservations to use it. Also, most of the beaches across the street were mainly pay to enter beaches except for one Bikini Beach. You did have to oat fir sun loungers at all.

Excellent hotel, right across the road from a beach and a delightful oceanfront restaurant.

The only thing is that there is a busy 6-lane road between the hotel at the beach. But please don't be put off by this - all of the hotels in the area are on the same side of the road. The rooms are very quiet and it's easy to cross the road and get to the beach. It's probably the best hotel you can find in this area without driving much further away from the city.

This is a very cute hotel. The bed was comfortable and there was a lot of storage space. The included breakfast was very good and the staff were helpful. We asked for a couple of extra blankets and they brought them right up to us. A nearby restaurant on the water was fantastic.

They did not have the refrigerator plugged in and cold for us when we got there. We had messed with the knobs for about 10 minutes trying to get it cold before realizing that it wasn't plugged in. The hair dryer didn't work. We could not find any other switches or ways to further plug it in. Our room had some traffic noise. The pool was tiny and didn't look very clean. It was about the size of a large jacuzzi.

The staff. Breakfast.They were very helpful. New towels every day. Very friendly staff. The hotel was in close to bus station and trolley station. The view from the balcony was beatiful. And the outside noises were blocked very well.

The room was smaller then we expected. They wasted a lot of plastic because the new towels came every day in a new plastic bag. By walking everything was a bit far. The hotel pool was always cold. The breakfast options was the same for 8 days. And the cleaners never used a vacuum cleaner or a mop in the 8 days while we were there.
