Pros: The hotel was very clean, and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was excellent. The location is convenient.
Cons: Nobody, in any review, mentioned that the Reception Desk is only open from 9am to 3pm. After that, you are on your own, with no one around. The manager gave us his card with an emergency phone number. As mentioned by numerous people in other reviews , the neighborhood is very sketchy, with drug addicts, homeless and prostitutes abounding. No one bothered us, but I really did not feel safe returning to the hotel, and entering the building with my room key, knowing there was no staff nearby. It felt more like a rooming house than a hotel. All the other hotels in the area seemed to have manned Reception Desks in the evening.

1. Unfortunately this property is in the homeless assistance area, there'are a shelter and a dining homeless assistance places and you see them all on the streets and they are always asking for money.
2. The staff working schedule is limited, if you have any incidents, there's no one to assist you
3. They don't change towels even if you leave them on the floor. You have to be present during the staff working hours to request it.

I recommend this place just be aware about what I mentioned, however, I won't return to this place

There are a few points to consider. First, the hotel's location is in a rough area where you'd see homeless people around. The hotel also needs some maintenance; the toilet seat was broken, and the unit wasn't clean - there were stains on the furniture. On the bright side, the breakfast was great 😊.

Great service, walkable location

The staff was amazing. They gave us great recommendations for restaurants close by and options for taking metro or walking to the Acropolis. The location was good, just a 5 minute walk to the Omonia metro and a 15-20 minute walk to Monastiraki and Plaka neighborhoods. We walked to the Acropolis and its museum one day and to the National Archaeological Museum the next. The museums were not to be missed.

The only issue we had at the hotel was the WiFi in our room (405) was very weak and dropped off after 10-15 minutes. The signal was strong in the hallway, so we’d have to walk out to the hall frequently to get the signal back. The manager was apologetic about the WiFi and tried to get it fixed.

The staff were lovely and helpful. The property was clean and the breakfast was decent. However, the family suite room had a number of mosquitos and was not soundproofed really well as you could hear every car pass in the middle of the night and people talking on the streets. The hotel was also situated in an unsafe area. Everyday we saw drug addicts shooting up, with the streets surrounding the hotel being littered with used syringes. The reception door to the hotel was kept is also kept locked all day and on one day we saw a person being carried by an ambulance (one can only assume that they had ODed). Obviously this is not the hotel's fault and one cannot fault the staff for this but one to avoid if you are traveling with a family.

I stayed at Tins hotel city for 3 nights in August 2025. The hotel itself was lovely, with really friendly staff and nice amenities. Almost perfect for solo travellers like myself. However, the surrounding area was quite unpleasant and actually really dangerous, especially after sunset. The hotel entrance is locked 24 hours a day which I can only assume is for safety purposes because the area really is that bad. It's such a shame but overall I can't fault the hotel and it's not their fault. I can only be honest about the area it's located.

The breakfast was somewhat limited, and the area around the hotel was quite concerning. There were about four or five large waste bins outside the hotel, and I noticed several people rummaging through them. The surroundings did not feel safe; fortunately, my son and I can take care of ourselves, but I wouldn't have felt comfortable with my daughter being there alone.

The hotel is well-maintained and clean. The staff is courteous, and they have convenient access to public transportation. The only issue is the neighborhood. It poses a significant safety risk, and the taxi companies that I used to provide transportation corroborated this assessment. Should you wish to take a taxi from the hotel to the train station during early morning or late evening hours, that is an option available to you. The hotel is a welcome oasis in the otherwise unremarkable surroundings.

I’m very particular about showers and they had a rain shower head instead of a handheld ones. For taller people like me this is a plus. Bed was comfortable, bathroom and actually room size was great.

Unfortunately the area around this hotel is so bad! There is prostitution right outside and on the day of check in my family and I witnessed someone shooting up drugs right outside. I remember, feeling scared that I would step on a needle or get robbed. I don’t think this is the place for a single traveler.

BUT inside the hotel is wonderful. Its 24 hr security ensuring safety. The rooms are clean and spacious. The staff was more than friendly. The breakfast was small but quite nice. The barista is the only person who didn’t acknowledge me. He wasn’t rude but compared to everyone else, he was not friendly. They replaced all the toiletries daily. Free water in the room and free wifi. I would stay again. I didnt feel any danger as an adult but maybe i wouldnt stay here with kids if you want the option to walk around at night.

Unfortunately the area is a bit sketch, and at times, loud from people who are homeless. There’s a ton of graffiti around and abandoned buildings, but it is different than in the US, where that usually denotes crime. We were assured that walking in the area was safe and we walked through there to the metro station daily, day & night, for 5 days. No one ever bothered my husband & I.

There are a few cafes and bakeries walking distance from the hotel and they were quite tasty and comfortable.
