Close to Larissa Train Station which was perfect after visiting Meteora for a two day excursion and returning around 22:00, tired, ready for a shower and sleep. Check in was quick and friendly. Beds are pretty hard, but I was so tired it didn’t matter.

We landed at 3 am and went to the hotel. My kids and I were checked in that early without extra money and no fuss💕.The manager is a lovely person. There is a restaurant in the hotel with reasonable prices. Larissa station and a supermarket a few meters away. Many amenities around. Excellent place to stay. I will be back this week.

Hotel is ideal if you need to catch an early train as opposite to station. The bed was hard and the breakfast poor, however the hotel and room were clean.

Nice hotel, great location and price.
Needed a hotel within close proximity of the main railway station. This hotel was perfect, just a few minutes walk from the station. The main area of Athens is probably a 20 minute walk away to the main bars and restaurants, but this isn't an issue, and for the price this hotel was ideally priced and located.

Would not stay again.
It was very nice that they included breakfast at no charge. Room did not get cleaned because you need to turn key in. They did not inform us of that. Way to much money. We stayed an extra day but changed hotels. I would not stay again. The oscar is much better and a bestwestern is close by. Street noise is bad. Breakfast was skimpy.

Terrible, it was dirty, insects crawling around, curtains never moved or washed, cob webs and dust. expensive for what it is, this is def not 3 stars, but more like a hostel. The area was lower end and scary at night.. if you just want a room to sleep, it’s fine, not when you take a kids like we did. photos look great compared to condition of room. I also think there may have been illegal activity such as prostitution happening on the top floor... so bad... On the other hand, staff was awesome and food was home made and wonderful.

The hotel staff and the owner are super friendly. I took a taxi from airport to the hotel, and due to some unexpected charges, I was short on cash, the taxi couldn't paid by card. so I was baffled and the driver wasn't very polite. but at this time, the owner of the hotel stand out, asked the driver to calm down and let the hotel paid to driver first and then have the payment back from me. The owner was super friendly, I enjoyed the conversations with him in the hotel lobby and thanks to the local tips. I would recommend this hotel 100% to anyone. In my opionion, When you are in a foreign country, a friendly hotel staff weigh much more importance than hotel room itself. Close to central train station, nice location not far from acropolis.

Th room we were booked into was way too small for triple and the street noise was so loud from the second floor. The hotel staff did move us into an apartment in an adjacent building and attempted to be very accommodating. But the apartment was not what I would have wanted to stay in more than one night. Is was on the ground floor and felt very cold and damp. The beds were very low to the floor and uncomfortable, and the bedspreads were warn. We found termites in the bathroom along the wood floor baseboards. I would not stay here again.

Great choice for shady neighborhood
The staff is very friendly and does their best to help you in any way possible. The location is great if you plan on taking the metro to and from the city center but not so much if you are walking to it. The center is not far, but the neighborhood between the hotel and the city center in general is quite shady, not advisable to walk alone after dark. Breakfast is reasonable, not outstanding but all the basics are covered.

I stayed here purely for the proximity to the station. The room was good enough for the purpose of a pit stop after a long flight. If your expecting 5 star luxury I suggest you pay 5 star prices and go elsewhere. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful, despite other reviews. I believe bad staff reviews come from people who don’t know Greek culture and customer service, Greeks don’t kiss your feet upon arrival. To conclude, good value, good location next to Athens central station (larissis), friendly and helpful staff. I would stay here again.
