I stayed at the Athinais for 14 nights and used it as a base when I went to the islands for a couple of days. The hotel is well run and my room attendant Dina was a star. She saw I had wet washing hanging in my room and she made me a rope washing line with pegs on my balcony. It is 2 metro stops from syntagma but I found the location to be perfect. It was not as busy and was only a walk away from great restaurants in kolonaki, national gallery, benaki museum, Cycladic museum, lycabettus hill, Aristotle’s Lyceum.

What not to like?! The hotel is located on the route of the airport-Syntagma Square bus (X95) with a stop about 50 meters from the hotel. Syntagma Square is within reach by foot from the hotel and, from there, most of Athens' attractions. Room is confortable and, in spite of the hotel being located on a bussy avenue, the outside noise is barely noticeable. Breakfast is proper for vacationers and the staff is extremely nice. On the ground floor, there is a coffee/restaurant with good selections and very good service. Finally, the front desk staff is very friendly and helpful if you need information. We would like to mention Ms. Marika! The hotel even provide a bag with some breakfast items if you need to leave before the service starts. Our hotel if we return to Athens!

Nothing to dislike!

The room and bathroom were clean, the bed was comfortable, enough space to store and hang my clothes. Nice desk to work at. Airconditioning was quiet. Windows (if closed) kept almost all the noise from the street out. Breakfast was good; lots of bread, yoghurt, sweets, and some fruits. Wifi was good. Location was excellent to visit the Megaron Conference Center, only a 5 min walk.

Room had a weird low table that was in the way, blocked the path from bed to window. But I just moved it to another location (it was very heavy, though). Street was very noisy, but if you closed the window it was almost quiet. Elevator was very small and slow; awkward door. Shower was very tiny; there was room for a bigger shower. No space to put toiletries near sink and no hook for towel next to sink.

The people who work at Athinais hotel are the most kind, thoughtful and helpful people you will find in Athens. We had a mix up with a reservation and they fixed the problem with grace and generosity. They embody the Greek ideal of Philotimo. In addition, the room was sparkling clean, the property is in an excellent location and the breakfast was delightful. Athinais is a wonderful, family friendly hotel in a central neighborhood that offers a taste of real Greek hospitality.

Everything was spotlessly clean. Staff were friendly. The buffet breakfast was delicious and includes something for everyone. Bedding was comfortable (except the pillows) and clean. There was a balcony, but no furniture on it. The location was also great, between two stations on line 3 of the metro, which will take you everywhere you want to visit at very low cost. I stayed in November and paid about 70 EUR a night; all considered, it was great value for money and I would absolutely stay here again.

The pillows were a bit lumpy and not very supportive, but two were too much. The Douwe Egberts coffee machine in the breakfast buffet seems to use powder for both the coffee and the milk, and the output is really not great, which is unfortunate because everything else on offer was delicious. The balcony is a nice touch but not really useful since there was no furniture on which to sit and enjoy the warm evening air.

Top mark for exceptionally friendly and polite staff! It's an old hotel, but was recently renovated, so communal areas are modern and have a fresh look. Rooms are ok, furnished in a very basic style, but it's good value for money. I would stay again in this hotel.

On the busy main road, so a lot of noise if balcony doors are open. Also noisy internally, you can hear other guests slamming doors of lifts and their bedrooms, so not recommended for those that are sensitive to noise.

very good breakfasta with a wide variety of options, buffet style. Marika at reception was amazingly friendly and helpfull. The lady and young man at restaurante were also very kind. Room was quiet, comfortable bed. Hotel is located in a very residential area, over Metro blue line. Many eateries and restaurants around. Same metro line takes you to Pireus port and airponrt so very usefull. If you like walking to can hace an interesting walk to Acropolis area.

I spent a long time looking for a hotel before arriving in Athens, but in the end, I ended up with a very good option. The location was amazing, very close to a metro stop where you can go wherever you want. The room facing the backyard was very quiet, and peaceful and we had a really big balcony. The room was very nice and tidy. The breakfast was very tasty, full of different foods, and freshly squeezed orange juice!! The staff was very friendly, helped us as much as they could, and gave us iron and what we needed. If I went to Athens again, I would definitely stay here again :)

I have no complaints, I liked everything!

Location close to restaurants and eateries, a small grocery store, pharmacy. Walking distance to a metro station. Great little restaurant inside the hotel! Room service and overnight laundry by bulk. Highly recommend on service alone. Clean rooms with balconies.

I stayed in different rooms due to my extended stay in the country, and I definitely prefer the rooms on higher floors facing Vasiliss Sofias Avenue to the rooms facing other people's windows. Just my preference, but I love seeing the city life go by.

The hotel is near the congress center and the metro station, so it is very easy to get to the center of Athens, or to the airport. The breakfast is good, but in the summer months they could offer a larger selection of seasonal fruits. The size and cleanliness of the rooms are adequate. To be commended, the hotel staff is extremely friendly and willing to help guests. Excellent. If I will visit Athens again, it is very likely that I will choose accommodation at the Athinais Hotel.
