Athens One Smart Hotel

"Could not fault this hotel at all. Spotless, very comfortable beds. Fairly new and everything looked fresh and clean. Breakfast varied with something for everyone. Rooms had a small fridge, safe adequate space and a kettle. Nothing is too much trouble from the staff who always greeted you with a smile. As other people have mentioned the area may not be the best but I doubt the poor souls who had fallen on bad times in the area would even have energy to cause harm to anyone. On the plus side it's an excellent location very close to metros linking the whole city. We ate in the hotel and also the taverna opposite and were made very welcome. Additionally the cost of the hotel is much lower than in other areas. I wouldn't hesitate to return."

"One night pre-cruise stay. Central location on huge sprawling city. Warm welcome front desk at a very warm tine of year! Quick check-in. Room small and dark inward facing. Probably better elsewhere in hotel. Clean but basic. Everything provided but shower not working fully. Evening meal was good although restaurant quite. Breakfast was adequate. Overall, okay for one night."

"We stayed here for one night prior to moving to the second part of our trip. The Hotel was immaculately cleaned in all areas. We were in room 204 which looked out to the main road. It was a large twin room with a good sized en suite bathroom. There was plenty of hanging space and two bottles of complimentary water in the fridge. There was also soap, shampoo and shower gel provided in the dispensers. Breakfast had a wide variety of food. Cereals, breads, hot and cold food, fruit and yoghurt plus juice and hot drinks. All the staff were polite and welcoming. However the main and only downside of this hotel is where it’s based. It’s not in a very nice area of town. We openly saw someone injecting drugs on our way out in the afternoon and later on it didn’t feel a safe area to be walking around. Such a shame as it would make a great base for your trip. If you are happy to take a taxi from the hotel to get yourself around then I would definitely recommend the hotel itself."
