Terrible

The only positive things I can say is that the staff were friendly and the area was nice. The hotel is BY FAR the worst I’ve ever stayed in. It’s in severe need of maintenance. Sink stopper was stuck closed. Their fix was to just remove it. The shower is so poorly designed and small that i couldn’t shower without the shower curtain clinging to one whole side of my body. And when the shower is over the floor is completely wet outside the shower. The internet was horrible as well. I had to go stand at the door of my room to get a connection. There was a safe but no directions on how to use it. The ways I usually program a hotel safe didn’t work. On top of all that, we had to wake up early to go to the airport. The people in the next room were ridiculously loud. I went to reception and was told that the quiet hour didn’t start for another 30 minutes. It was 11:30 PM. Absolutely absurd. We ended up getting less than 4 hours of sleep. I would sleep on the street before I would stay here again

Hotel was great for me. Air conditioned room with a small fridge. Always spotless. Staff friendly and helpful. Metro station is a 5 minute walk. For budget eats there is a “Kurdish” restaurant almost opposite. Food was excellent and affordable. Loads of small shops in the area to buy water/beer/snacks. There is also a Vietnamese and two Greek restaurants very close. The only issue (not within the hotels control) was the homeless and drug users that live around the hotel. I never ever felt at risk and never had an issue. Just take sensible precautions. I would stay at this hotel again.

Hotel okay, area shady

Stayed her with my daughter. The inside of the hotel was fine and the staff were lovely. The hotel was cheap and within walking distance of most stuff.

The outside and the surrounding area is sketchy. The taxi driver spent the entire time during the drive the cruise port to the hotel trying convince us to change our reservation to a different area of Athens. The front desk was quick to tell us to stick to the main streets. The area is run down. The first two days we had no issues but the 3rd night we came back after dark and rounded the corner and walked into the middle a drug deal and another guy about to shoot up. There was a lot of yelling during the night. When we left there in morning there was a group of questionable people sleeping outside the hotel.

No one seem to bother you. But the area makes you be on guard the whole time.

Easy to get places as on the subway line and some nice food in the area. Staff were all very helpful and lovely. There are a couple of druggies outside but they don’t bother anyone so really not a big deal. We did a lot of walking around at night and were never bothered by anyone. My biggest issue was the bathroom, handheld shower, no door to the shower so the bathroom was at risk of flooding especially bc the shower did not drain wel. Bathroom door also got stuck when closed so we had to just not shut it the whole time. The walls are also paper thin, could clearly hear phone calls and conversations from rooms over.

The room is exactly what you pay for clean sheets, comfy bed, fridge air con etc. Unfortunately the shower was a tight squeeze and there was some mould in the corners. The temperature and pressure of the shower were fine though. The receptionist was informative although ignored us for what appeared to be already checked in male customers when we were trying to check in.The website here claims there is tea/coffee available but when asked we were directed to a coffee shop elsewhere. There is also a claim that room service available but again no mention of this when we checked in. The room was not as soundproofed as indicated and there was a lot of loud music particularly for a tuesday evening. It was unclear of this was from other guests or an outside source however. Would not recommend for a long stay particularly due to the presence of what appeared to be drug taking individuals

Arab Central

Hotel full of noisy Arabs, so could not get to sleep. They had parties on the balcony every night with ghetto blasters blaring Arab music. Corridors were full of Arabs shouting all the time and the elevator was very noisy. Good hotel if you are deaf. Hotel staff were as much use as a wet paper bag. Balcony was dirty. TV did not work. toilet was dangerous as shower had no door so floor was soaking and the w.c. worked sometimes. Air con was very noisy. A bad hotel, only for Arabs

Noisy, bad area.

While the room was relatively clean and the staff were nice enough, this hotel is located in a very rough part of the city. Every taxi driver we had in Athens told us not to walk around there at night as it was “a very dangerous area”. Subsequently you had to pay €20 from the centre of town each night to get back to the hotel ( even though it is only 1.5km ). The hotel is also very noisy with staff and other guests yelling at all hrs of the day / night. There were also always a large group of people hanging about at the front of the hotel that constantly were going in and out of it. It just had a very uncomfortable vibe to it all. Athens was lovely but do not stay in this area, spend the extra money and stay up town.

Quite a bad experience

Upon arrival we were given a dirty, small, substandard room the window of which opened to an areaway filled with garbage. The next morning we could change it for a better one, but the bathroom was equally and uncomfortably small.

The breakfast is clearly not worth the price: we only had it once then went to a nearby café. We tried to get a refund for the breakfasts we did not take but could not.

Don't stay here!!!

This hotel featured pictures that were clearly NOT the hotel. We could barely squeeze in the room and the shower was broken. There was also a horrible smell and we had to keep the windows open in the rain just to barely be able to function. It was also in a VERY rough area and we stayed inside until our taxi arrived and didn't feel safe walking down the street even in the daytime. We have this room booked for our last night in Greece as well and the site says that we cannot cancel the reservation but we cannot stay here another night so we are booking another room!!!!

It suited my purpose

I loved the location because it was easy to jump on the metro and go anywhere. It looked nice but it seemed as if the floors weren't cleaned on a regular basis. Also there seemed to be something going on with the ceiling in the bathroom (mold?) Other than that I was very comfortable.
The great thing is that the staff was friendly and spoke English. A few went out of there way to make sure that I was taken care of. The WIFI was great which I wish I could say for some four star hotels I've stayed in. They also offered for me to stay at their partner hotel if I didn't feel comfortable in the neighborhood since I was a lady travelling alone. The neighborhood wasn't that bad. I suppose most people would think it was bad because it isn't as pristine as the rest of the city and there are many immigrants in the area. A lady at the hotel had a her purse stolen. I made sure I had my purse/backpack securely in my grip and was aware of my surroundings at all times as I would in any city. She had her purse stolen the first day. I stayed there almost 3 weeks without any problems.
If I needed an inexpensive place in Athens I would stay there again.

Good place for the money

If I ever go back to Athens and Im short on budget I would stay here again. Good hotel for the price. Clean, ok size room (good for Europe standards). Service was OK, (I didn't expect much and I didn't ask much). They barely speak english at the front desk. Kind of close to the touristic areas (15 min walk to Acropolis). The only bad thing is the neighborhood. Drug addicts walking, sleeping, screaming around the area (you cant hear them from the rooms) Just call a taxi and you wont even notice.

If you are a delicate person and like luxury and don't want to see certain things while you travel, avoid this hotel.
If you are on a low budget and can look the other way while passing by the drug addicts, this is a good place.

Have a nice trip and Paracaló

Reasonable rates

The hotel is nice enough for the price, the breakfast was decent and the location to the Metro was good. The toilet tank overflowed and their solution was to turn the water supply off after flushing. The staff was pleasant and helpful and there is a lift. Outside the door it was uncomfortable with drug addicts using needles and refugees from other countries lingering about. A suggestion to call the police about the drug users shooting up was answered 'the police don't do anything.' Perhaps it is accepted in this city. We did not experience any problem with them.

Extremely bad neighbour

the hotel is in a drug dealers' area. loads of junkies!! no matter during days or nights. it's very scary even for a man like myself. I saw one of them making injections in the middle of a very busy square nearby. going to hotel after dark is like entering a war zone. even the hotel reception locked the hotel front door to avoid dangers. nothing happened to us but if you like scary movies, nothing can beat this.

about hotel maintenance, my room's main light bulb was not working when arrived. toilet flush was broken which caused flushing water overflown in toilet/bathroom. in the second night, the flush is still not working perfectly. I had to manually open the flush tank to stop water running and overflowing.

Good value

We arrived late, after midnight, and found the proprietor waiting for us at the front desk. We had to summon him again to our room because we didn't know that the key card must be placed in the slot for the lights to work. Small room but a beautiful balcony and everything clean and tidy. Not the best neighborhood, but a good value.3

Clean, Friendly, Comfortable and Excellent value

I had read a few reviews really slating the Stalis for its location and the \"gangs\" of young men and seedy characters hanging around. Well there is a shop owned by an African down the street but there is also a Bar filled with elderly Greek men opposite it and everyone seems to get on very well!. OK the area is a bit run down, but so is most of Athens these days. There are always Police visible on the city streets and it never felt even remotely unsafe. It is about 20 metres from a main road

Basically the Stalis is clean, comfortable with very friendly staff, air con in the rooms, free wireless, free (simple) continental breakfast and VERY cheap! The room was quite small, but more than adequate and the bathroom was spotless and typically Greek (wet room style with no shower curtain). The view from the room was basically a wall but I was there on business so this was not an issue and I was on the first floor. Views may be better from rooms on higher floors. Also there was a balcony to sit out on.

It is 5 mins walk from Omonia Sq and about 30 mins walk from the Acropolis.

If I am in Athens again this is where I will stay - I have stayed in Hotels 5 times the price which were half as good - what more do you want?

Stay away, it's not worth the price

Hotel Stalis is not a place I would stay. The street is on has drug activity all day long. I was mugged going from the hotel to the metro, which isn't but a few blocks. I wouldn't EVER stay here again. The hotel was clean, but small, there was a huge hole in our bathroom wall. The breakfast provided really is just toast. Not worth eating. The morning front desk lady was rude and not helpful. The man in the evening was much nicer and more helpful. Overall a bad experience.

Nice and clean room in good condition. Everything working well and staff was helpful and friendly. Two free internet pc's in the reception was great as well.

More than a budget hotel

While listed as a budget hotel this was one of the best experiences for the price I have had when travelling. The hotel was recently remodeled. The staff was friendly and helpoful. Although the surrounding area may be considered a \"seedy\" neighborhood I felt safe at all times and actually thought it to be a bit eclectic with its variety of people. The metro is close and you can basically get anywhere. For the money you can't beat this place.

Inexpensive for a reason.

If you are a solo female traveler, recovering drug addict or traveling with a family, do not stay in this hotel, or for that matter this neighborhood.

Although the hotel was okay with clean looking sheets, clean bathroom, stained carpets, stained blankets, the street outside was a popular place for drug users to get their fix.

For the four days and two nights spent in this hotel, we observed very graphic, prominate drug usage in the middle of the day and many shady characters wandered in and out of the hotel day and night.

Our experience of Athens was ruined by the experience of staying in this hotel. Do yourself a favor and avoid this hotel, and the Omonia Square area near the metaxourgio station.
