I took a group of university Classics students to the Ionis hotel in Easter this year. The location, as has been mentioned countless times in other reviews, is incredibly seedy. Drug dealers and prostitutes are rife and seemingly open about their practices around the hotel, and the hotel staff also gave us fairly grave warnings about bagsnatchers and pickpockets in... More

We walked into the hotel lobby about 1:30 a.m. (our ferry was delayed from Ios, which arrived late into Piraeus/Athens) and the Reception very quickly checked us in (they had thought we weren't coming). The 2 huge beds filled up most of the room, not enough walking space so we had to place our luggage bags on the chairs and... More

After reading most of the reviews before booking ,decided to give it a try for myself,ok i can agree with some of the points mentioned,however i do think there has been some over exaggeration,with regard to area ect; As for the accommodation i stayed in room 118 found it to be comfortable perhaps the aircon; could be a little more...

Thankfully I was here just the one night, as my original hotel, the apolo had some issues and transferred me here, looks ok in the reception area but the receptionist was very unfriendly, the room was ok but the window looked out onto nearby flats and was noisy and the courtyard below was full of rubbish, the room was stiflingly...

Metro station is near but me and my girlfriend never felt safe walking till there. Room was ok but without normal air condition and most nights we didn’t have hot water….we didn’t try breakfast at...

We got transferred to this hotel due to a plumming issue at our original one. When we first arrived the inside of the hotel looked nice, although our room was quite old fashioned and wasn't overly clean. However over all we were still happy to stay here however when we left the hotel to walk around, that is when we... More

we stayed for ten nights here in june 2012. the hotel was clean enough and had a central location. the hotel met our basic needs although the breakfast got a bit repeatative. the area isnt swo great but we felt safe enough. We however didn't spend much time in the hotel as we were far to busy exploring athens.

We wnated to visit Greece but after an expensive italian holiday we were really short on money. We booked this hotel as the rates were dirt cheap. Our expectation were minimal when we were coming to hotel. We reached Athens well past midnight. The hotel is bang on a main road but we got a little edgy about the surroundings.... More
