TERRIBLE LOCATION - literally surrounded by drug users, it is NOT in a good neighborhood. The room and hotel itself is fine, fairly clean, although the glasses in our bathroom were dirty. It had nice pillows and decently comfortable bead. You get what you pay for, it was serviceable but by no means great. Had I known about the neighborhood I would never have booked.

Close to the Acropolis. Close to the market. Surrounding is not great but the place for me is okay. To save money, time and effort this is kind of a wise hotel to stay into for few nights. Personally, I would go back here and stay.

4 nt budget stay
Great few days in this amazing city! Hotel was a bit far away from everything, although nothing is really central. Area concerned us st first with what seemed like street workers around but we felt safe if careful- like any city. The hotel is old and tired in places but this is made good by the attitude and service from staff- very welcoming and happy to help with anything. Seems family run , always a smile and a chat from reception. Breakfast staff a little different but food ample and coffee great! Give this hotel a try - even though it’s out if the way, the main stations are within 5 min walk. Thank you hotel Solomou!

Decent hotel in not so good area
Overall was good, staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was decent, mattresses were extremely hard and the local area was pretty bad. But for a night stay while touring Athens is ok.

An Oasis in a desert of Squalor
A very nice hotel with excellent service and comfort. The staff could not have been more helpful. Great choice for breakfast and lovely dining area. WiFi a bit inconsistent and room a bit small but other than that cannot fault it. As for the area it is located (Off Omonia Square), this was ghastly...shuttered up buildings, litter, graffiti everywhere, rough sleepers with very heavy smell of urine. Very intimidating after dark, working girls in evidence day and night. The walk to and from the Metro (where I had my wallet pickpocketed on day one) was basically a frightening experience...even walking as a couple. It is a pity such an excellent hotel has seen such a degradation in its surroundings.

Nothing as it was advertised in the pictures. Small room and bad conditions (sound isolation was bad, air-conditioning not working properly, wifi not reachable from the room). Also the stuff were not helpful at all. Bad service in general. The stuff asked me for more money in order to host 1 more person with me. Not recommending this hotel

Ok hotel in marginal location
Ok hotel in marginal area. Inexpensive stay in clean hotel. Breakfast was good, not a lot of variety and an odd combination of food, but overall filling. Interactions with the female receptionist was like many with other Greeks, you left feeling slightly offended and put down and not sure if you got your point across, but not a big deal. Overall good stay.

Time off in Athens
The staff is really polite and hardworking. It seems they also have great relationships with each other, so they work well as a team. Housekeeping, breakfast, front desk, and support staff were a pleasure. The room was simple and comfortable. Public space was very clean, too. They also took time with many guests during our stay (including us) to give directions and suggestions for their guests. It is about a 7 minute walk to a major subway, though we walked everywhere from there. Try them out. We (couple) were pleased.

Simple but nice hotel in a good location
The hotel was fine in general. The owner was helpful about any information. His wife wasn't nice, like she gave me a favour to answer any question. While booking it was said free breakfast was included, but in the end - it wasn't. Luckily, there are some cafes, bars and restaurants, where you can eat tasty food and for good price. Rooms are not sound-proof, I could hear everything. Wi-fi available only in public areas - not in the rooms. When I wanted to talk to my family, I wanted some privacy, but I had to go to the lounge area, where there was no air-condition (it was over 40 degrees, it was boiling). The room was cleaned properly. I booked my room online and the price was good. If you walk-in it's quite expensive. In general - the hotel was fine, but nothing special. Good for short term staying.

Very criminal suburb
The area in which the hotel is locates is awful, at the evening was afraid to come back to the hotel. Secondly, very dirty area - marked walls, a lot of waste, many immigrants and criminal looking people.
Area around hotel is like this.

When asked if there was a restaurant nearby, a lady receptionist told me that she would tell me after I had paid for the breakfast which was really poor and was the same everyday with fouled meat and shrinked oranges and without any vegetable.

The hotel was actually quite ok, except for two things. There was a strong unpleasant smell to the room. But apart from that it seemed quite clean. And of course the neighbourhood. On the plus side, it's 5 minutes away from Omonia metro station, where metros leave every 5-10m starting from 5 or 5.30 in the morning, allowing you to change in Syntagma for the airport. On the minus side, as we were exiting the hotel around 6 in the morning, we saw a hooker injecting drugs close outside.I don't think one should be worried about safety or anything like that.

Good value for your money but...
Hotel is good for what they charge but is in a very ugly zone, the room is small, basic and clean, staff is rude mainly the Mrs. that never saw my face when asked me for my passport in a VERY rude way, they (the couple that manage the hotel) think they are doing a favor to you....very rude, again. Beakfast is good.

Close to Omonia Square
The hotel was in a quiet area. It's a 5 minute walk from Omonia which was nice so we could get to most places on the Subway. It was also really close to the National Archeological Museum. The hotel has a rooftop which was fantastic! We would pick up a gyro in Omonia then hang out on the rooftop before bed. The staff was really friendly and did a great job keeping the room clean. The only downside for us was that the showers were too small; it was awkward showering so close to the wall. Our bed kept slipping away from the wall when we were leaning on the headboard to watch t.v. but we were out and about most of the time so it didn't really bother us. The rates were definitely good at Solomou. Well worth staying here!

You get what you pay for
Great location, in the centre of Athens within walking distance of all the main tourist attractions and plenty of food shops. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, organising cabs and luggage for us. Rooms are clean but very basic with a lot of repair jobs apparent, broken fridge in our room and no view whatsoever, but fine for just sleeping in.

Family hotel for short stay
The hotel is in a "bad part" of town. Though the city of Athens is particularly run-down, if you are alert and don't walk around at night, you will be safe. I am a woman traveling by herself and I didn't feel particularly uncomfortable. The hotel is clean and the breakfast spread is definitely worth it. The wifi is below average. But the owners will go above and beyond for you. They gave me a fridge and stored my luggage for free. It's very close to the Omonia stop and it's a short 10 minutes to the Akropolis which is amazing!

No Wi-Fi Good Hotel
The Hotel was very nice, the staff was very helpful. Our only complaint (and it's a big one) was that the hotel advertises Wi-Fi. We could connect in our room but got horrible connectivity if any at all. If you need to stay connected for any reason you might wish to find a different hotel.

Just another average budget hotel
The room was just an average budget hotel room, nothing fancy. The older couple who manage the hotel are also just your average receptionists. The main reason that we chose this hotel is because it is near a metro station.
