You get what you pay for. Stayed 4 nights as a couple getaway to Athens and vicinity. Hotel offers basics - room, shower, bedsheets, towels, kettle. There is no housekeeping/towel change unless you specifically request it. It is VERY noisy, you will hear all neighbours on all floors, nearby construction, traffic from the road and pigeons on the windowsill. Highly recommend packing earplugs and eye mask. Location of the hotel is also sketchy with homeless tent “village” just across the block, sometimes you can see people smoking crack sitting on the road side on your way back in the evening and some discarded syringes nearby. Even at reception they advise to take an underground instead of walking… thankfully we had no incidents as tried to avoid / crossed the road and moved quickly through.
Cheap furniture, a bit mouldy shower/sink, stiff bed and dated laminate with cracks in the surface, it is far away from luxury or even good level of comfort. No breakfast offered and no cafes in immediate vicinity, so you need to plan ahead.
But with all fairness, for a price of £43/night and 20min walking distance to Athens central locations (or 10 min by public transport) it is still a decent deal and does the job, but beware that it looks better on pictures and try to avoid the creepy areas.

We found the property very good. The hotel was near some really nice places to eat and the Stanley Café near the hotel was fantastic. The hotel itself was personally ideal. It was perfect for a short visit to Athens. It was clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly and I would definitely stay there again if I went to Athens the area around the hotel is not the best but we were fine. We didn’t have any issues.

It’s a good place to stay. Very convenient for getting around since it’s only about a block away from the subway station. The only issue I had was there is an escape room across the street that opens at night and you can hear people talking that are waiting in line. Also, that noise carries from the other floors through the marble staircase. But that’s more of an older person issue like myself, wouldn’t be a problem for someone younger.

The hotel worked for sleeping, but I would not recommend or stay there again. The bathroom smelled atrocious, like sewage and sitting water. We couldn't get that smell to go away. The hotel room itself just seemed like it had a face lift, but it wasn't overly clean. The street on the right of the hotel is filled with homeless people doing drugs and other stuff... As two women walking around that area, I did not feel safe being out there after 10PM at night, it was loud, rowdy, and dirty, (and I live 10 minutes from Baltimore, Maryland). I wanted to like the hotel, but the smelly room and bathroom combined with the area around the property, I would not stay there.

Decent Stay in Athens

Hotel was located in a slightly run down part of town, but it was close to a metro station and pricing was very competitive - two major factors why I chose to stay at this property. The metro was very handy, as it afforded easy access to the Acropolis, Syntagma, and Monastiraki Square. All these locations are also accessible via walking, but it is a bit on the longer side, and it does require walking through some of the run down parts of town, where there is a noticeable homeless population. On the bright side, I did stumble across a farmers market on Psaron Street (one block west of the hotel), north of Favierou (one block north of the hotel). There were many fruits and vegetables for sale at competitive prices, as well as clothing and knick knacks for several blocks. The hotel itself gave a bit more of a hostel feel, but my room was recently furnished, and seemed relatively spacious, with a balcony. I did receive a free upgrade and a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival due to my gold membership with Hotels.com, which was a nice perk. Wifi worked well. The only issue I had with my room was that once in a while, I would see a small bug scurry across the floor. I don't think the hotel is dirty per se, but my room was one floor above the ground (floor 1) so I imagine bugs getting in from the balcony or something. There were no food options at the hotel, but there were places nearby. Receptionist was very helpful every time. Overall a decent stay.

The Tier gives you access to so much of what Athens has to offer...the wonderful neighborhoods with awesome food and such. The historical sites, museum nearby.
It is in a neighborhood going through rehabilitation so lots of work being done and not as well groomed as other parts of Athens--never mind! The hotel is wonderful. Will definitely stay at Hotel Tier if I get back to Athens!

The hotel and the rooms match the description. However, the bathroom is very small, and it's difficult even for a thin person to turn around without bumping into something.

The hotel was undergoing renovations, so it was very noisy during the day. However, the noise stopped immediately when I called the front desk. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and you get what you pay for.

The property was clean, and the staff friendly, and fairly helpful obtaining things that should have been in the room (as per the Expedia listing). It was also conveniently placed less than 5 minutes from the Metro. The cleaner was efficient. The staff kindly held my luggage the last afternoon so I could get lunch after checking out.
However, the room looked out over a building site, and will eventually look at a wall with no view. I guess single rooms are always the worst! There was a small, wobbly refrigerator and a kettle, but no coffee mug, or drinking glasses, only a single paper cup! I eventually got a wine glass and two very small glasses - no mug! The iron and ironing board were missing. At first they wanted to give me an iron with frayed flex, but eventually bought a cheap iron and table top ironing board which kept collapsing. There are no smoke alarms. There is no toilet in the reception area - when I needed one when returning for my luggage after checkout I was sent into the basement to use the staff one. The hotel is a lot more “basic” than I expected, and in a bit of a rundown area.

I stayed in the Tier Hotel only for 3 nights and it felt like the right time. The room was very utilitarian and basic in a clean condition with a window view to the wall of another building being under construction. So, during the day it was quite noisy. There was not any room cleaning for those 3 nights. The location is very convenient and close to the central metro station. If you plan to be out and about for the entire day, it is a good place for the night to rest. If you plan to savour the city's view of Acropolis and having more pampering experience you might want to book a large hotel across the square.

If you’re getting here via public transport go to Metaxiurgio station and walk that way - you’ll avoid seeing all that stuff plus it’s closer, don’t go to Omonia station walk that way or you’ll end up in the heart of the action!
