Athens Comfort

Room was fine, beds comfortable.

Our only concern was the location. We felt unsafe going out after dark so stayed in.

There was always someone on reception (24 hours) and they were always friendly and helpful. When we arrived the welcome was excellent we were told everything we needed to know including being given a map where the receptionist marked on the nearest shops and how to get to the tourist attractions. I liked the balcony we had in our bedroom - although it looked out onto a busy street it was nice to have the option of going outside.

There was no comfortable seating (dining table and plastic chairs only) - could have done with a couple of arm chairs or a small sofa. Would be tricky to fit them in but not impossible if they changed the shape/layout of the table and chairs. I hadn't noticed this when we booked - I think I just assumed there would be some sort of other chair. For a weekend it would have been ok but as we were there for a week this was not great. It was really noisy with the windows open (traffic as it's next to a busy road) but without them open the apartment got quite stuffy. There was a random fire alarm one morning that woke us up (but went off about as minute later so we weren't sure what that was about) and one night around 10pm it went off again a few times. No one told us about any testing or mentioned it at all. A bit disconcerting!

Meeting some of the nice helpful people, trying the local produce and getting to know how and where to travel around Athens. A great opportunity to see such rich local history and the worlds most beautiful buildings and WOW! remains that are still standing!

The poverty seen in the local neighbourhood, much litter on the streets and many deprived people searching the dustbins, sleeping rough!

Very clean and the staff is welcoming.

Really loud, the doors are too thin!

Excellent for the price
