A charming well maintained old school hotel with a proud history. Very recent renovations and updates made it very comfortable. Attentive staff care about the guests. Get a balcony for the views. Sits right next to convenient shopping. Urban beach nearby. Great restaurants down towards the water. Easy access to nearby Athens and ferry terminals. Ubers -to and from- works efficiently and I was able to go back and forth easily so it was a good value option. Great option for a few nights before hopping on a cruise or ferry.

Two huge cockroches greeted us!!

We booked a room for four. Me, my wife and my two teenage daughters

The place is olddddd

We walk in the room and my girls shreaked, as two huge cockroaches were walking the walls and ceilings

Absolutely disgusting

We went to the front desk and got two rooms instead . No one even apologized!

Needless to say did my wife hates me for booking such a low rating hotel. Who would have thought it's gonna be so bad?

We booked it so we are close to the pireus port the next morning, on our way to the islands

The hotel is so old and needs to be redone....yesterday! You literally think you are in the 80's. Old furniture, old yucky wall 2 wall carpeting.... yuck

The breakfast was good, will give them that

Free side curb parking

But the cockroaches? Absolutely disgusting!!!!

Never again

I'm not one of those who will give bad rating to someones business, but you cant stoop so low with such a disgusting room!!!

Solid accommodation for the Pireaus area.

The hotel seemed pretty old, and it used metal keys in doorknobs. The carpets were extremely worn down, but my bathroom area was exceptionally clean, and the bed linens were very fresh. The staff were all very friendly and professional. So although I noticed many things as a longtime frequent traveler, in the end, my experience was very good.

would not stay here again and would not recommend

the staff varied in quality. some were perfectly fine but one of the reception was smoking in the lobby most of the evening. inside and not just in the door way where most went to smoke. the carpet in the room was very tired and did not appear clean. the lock on the door was terrible and i would not trust it to keep out a small child. the wifi rooter was hanging off a framed picture in lobby area of each floor with wire dangling to the plug. but the breakfast was good and the morning staff were very friendly and the bar and bartender woman were lovely the bar actually is very nice and overlooks the harbour but overally i would not recommend staying at this place. and we often are willing to stay in v low standard hotels but this one was a step too far sadly.

Beach in front of the hotel

The hotel is right at the beach- if you want to get away from the busy lifestyle and just relax ; this is your place. Stunning views right from your own private balcony. Very friendly environment answering every question. Breakfast is also quite expansive and yummy. Mattresses are comfy; overall the hotel could use some upgrading; but very clean and well preserved. The restaurant has a great view of the ocean too; is more equipped to have a drink there; food is quite slow. Daily housekeeping does a fabulous job.

The hotel located in a very good location, up and down the hill, but walkable distance to transport, sea side, swimming pool and bars. Balkony and room are big enough, all things like air on, shower, taps, lights are working fine. Staff is helpful and informative.
Breakfast a bit boring, coffee could be a bit better, but it's OK. Room was clean, beds comfortable
There was a strange smell lingering for a bit, but after a day airing it's nearly gone.
Hotel is near the main street and there was noisy until 2am, but it wasn't a trouble for us, as we were coming late and tired after days entertainment, so no worries sustained.

I doubt the filter was ever cleaned. Toilet seat was cracked and could not be cleaned properly. Same with shower curtain it didnt struck me as clean.
Location is very nice but parking is an issue. Views are fantastic from our front room. I definitely wouldn't like to stay there for many nights. It's probably ok for a quick overnight stay to enjoy the view.

The hotel has its unique style .. I must be related to the fact that it has not been renovated for ages. But everything was functional and decent.
The best thing was definitely the location and the city itself.
There is a very well equipped supermarket next door.
The room price was high for such standard but seems like that’s a normal price for such hotels in Athens and surrounding areas.

However, the hotel is a bit run down could be a great hotel if it gets an upgrade. The wifi is very poor in there. There is a beach opposite the hotel but it needs to be cleaned, ppl dont clean up after their dogs there.There is a supermarket and a bus stop next door and lots of places to eat near by that you can walk too. Once this hotel is renovated it will be superb.

We booked through your website, and was confirmed; when we got there, we were told they had NO ROOMS! After I told them I would not pay a non refundable charge, they found a room for us in there hotel ?? The air conditioning system was weak. We were told you can only stay 1 night,but the next day , they told us we could stay. Because of the Ferry Strike, they charged us way more than the room was worth!

The room was clean so to speak but felt dirty. We found a cockroach almost immediately upon entering. Most of the light bulbs were burnt out and the AC stopped working on the second night. Check out was a nightmare as they didn't believe me that I had paid already online and they proceeded to charge me (and double at that!) despite talking to hotels.com over the phone. Absolute nightmare that I'm still dealing with working out.

Great staff, clean, but needs renovation

This hotel might have been luxurious in the 70s, but the furniture has probably not changed since. While that might be interesting in the lobby, it's not so much enjoyable in the room! I stayed in a double room, the mattress was just horrible, the bed squeaked, I couldn't sleep, and my back was sore the next day. I had booked it for three nights, yet only stayed two. The breakfast was also not good.

On the plus side, it is a walking distance to the clubs and cafes in the area, and the staff are super helpful and friendly. The view is beautiful.

Would only stay there again if they renovate.

A Dive!

This place is terrible!!! The hotel is about 90 years old and looks like it hasn't been refurbished since the 60's. Extremely outdated!!! Pictures are very misleading!!! The pictures shows a picture of a nice pool which is actually the view of the pool across the street!!! The carpet was old and many of the tiles in the balcony were broken. The glass wall in the balcony between the rooms was cracked. The view of our Seaview room had a nice view of the sea and the pool across the street. However the building next door is abandoned and looks like it has been for years. The walls are thin and could hear noises which should be kept in the room. The only reason we stayed was because it was a non refundable room. The reviews I read were overall good surprisingly. We booked there due to the proximity to Port Pareus since we had come back from Mykonos Island. There were however some good restaurants about a half km away on the water. The staff was friendly however spoke little english.
