Lovely clean rooms, fantastic breakfast and friendly helpful staff.
The local area leaves a bit to be desired at night but we never felt unsafe or had an issue. Local coffee shops and eateries nearby with a metro and open top bus stop directly outside the hotel. Lovely pool and bar on the roof with acropolis views.

The property was generally very good.

Negatives: The gym and sauna let it down and the roof top pool is quite small considering the size of the hotel. The breakfast is quite cheap and unhealthy

Positives: the location is excellent with public transport near by but also very walkable. The food was excellent for lunch and dinner. Staff were excellent and very accommodating. Rooms are really nice and cleaned every day. Stunning views from the bar and poor area.

The pool on the rooftop has an amazing view of the Acropolis and of Athens in general. The hotel breakfast was plenty, although the spread is the same (American buffet). It is also within easy access to the metro and walking distance from spots like Monastiraki, Kolokotroni, etc. They also have a mini gym and sauna!

The rooftop pool and terrace with a full view of the Acropolis are absolutely stunning — this is definitely the hotel’s strongest feature. The location is also convenient.

However, the rooms did not match that same standard. The “double bed” was actually two single beds pushed together, which was uncomfortable because of the gap in the middle. The marble flooring felt cold and not very cozy. The biggest issue was the poor sound insulation — we could clearly hear noise from the corridor and outside, which made it difficult to sleep. There was also renovation work during our stay, and we were woken up by noise starting from 9am.

We also had a late check-in, and unfortunately the receptionist was not very welcoming, which didn’t create the best first impression.

The view is impressive, but overall the room comfort, noise level, and service did not fully meet our expectations

This is a place you stay for the amenities. The room wasn’t luxurious or anything special but the bed was comfortable and the view was nice. The breakfast was expansive and delicious, the rooftop restaurant/bar was a vibe, and we really enjoyed the lounge with free drinks and snacks as well as a few games, including pool. However, there was unmentioned construction noise, the sauna was closed, and the water was completely turned off for 6 hours one day. The location was roughish so just beware of that. It is convenient that the train is right outside.

The rooms are small and really only comfortable for one person, although two can stay.

The staff were very friendly, especially the waitresses at the rooftop restaurant. They were the best!

The rooftop offers beautiful views of the acropolis and 360 views of the city.

Breakfast is also included and it is actually very good with a decent selection.

Overall, the rooms were less desirable for me, but the rooftop was a 10/10.

Amazing rooftop and pool with some of the best views of Athens. The room was more simple than expected and could need some improvements to meet 4 star hotel standards. The rooms was not soundproof, especially not out to the hallway. On Sunday morning before 9 am you could also hear loud construction work from the floor above.

The staff was really friendly and offerd great hospitality.

The room was spotless, the hotel is beautiful, and the Acropolis view was truly breathtaking. All the amenities were great, and everything was well maintained throughout her stay.

The Stanley is a great hotel to stay at while visiting Athens. Here are some detailed notes about the property.

Room:
-Stayed in a room with twin beds
-Bed was large and allowed us to both sleep comfortably (long enough for tall guests– I am 6-foot-2)
-Bedding and pillows were very comfortable
-In-room air conditioning was powerful and allowed us to sleep at a comfortable temperature–perfect for people who prefer to sleep cold
-Balcony was large and featured solid views of downtown Athens, the valley/surrounding mountains
-Curtains blocked most of the light, but if you are sensitive to light, bring an eye mask
-Other room features: mini-fridge, safe for valuables, coffee maker

Hotel/Amenities:
-Amazing rooftop pool with stunning views of the Acropolis, downtown Athens, and sea/mountains on a clear day
-Comfortable lounge chairs/beds at the pool
-Huge restaurant/bar with amazing views
-Elevators were a bit small and slow, so patience is sometimes required (also have stairs to all rooms if you prefer to walk)
-Friendly hotel staff and cleaning crews
-Relatively quiet rooms–did not hear neighbors, but the hallway can get a bit loud after 10 AM

Location:
-Hotel is located right next to the Metaxourgeio metro stop, which makes travel to major sites quick, easy, and affordable
-Felt safe walking around streets at night, even though many surrounding buildings/streets appear rundown
-Great bakery/coffee shop steps away from the hotel

Overall a good experience. Of the things that the hotel could control, they got mostly everything right. The staff were friendly and helpful in lots of ways, going beyond what was expected. The hotel internals were lovely and fresh and clean, the breakfast was a great spread, and the rooftop was pleasant enough.

BUT the external area was shocking. The neighbourhood really let the whole thing down unfortunately, drug users, brothels, constant police sirens, men washing in the fountain outside the hotel, graffitti everywhere and bombed out looking buildings, made for an extremely poor and unsafe feel in the area outside, walking within the area at night didn't feel possible. Somewhat disingenously, the pictures of the hotel do not show the view out the front, not only is the accroppolis partly obscured by the Wyndham hotel, but as I say, the buildings opposite are ramshackle.

I was so glad to find other parts of Athens that were well kept and had a warmer vibe, you just need to Scooter/Taxi to them.

The room is compact but comfortable. The highlight is definitely the rooftop pool and restaurant with a beautiful view of the Acropolis. You could also watch the sunset from here. There is an ATM within the hotel if you need cash. They do charge one night of the room rate if you book on the same day though and still charge for the full stay when you check in so it is cumbersome to get a refund for the one night charge.

The rooms were clean. However there was a smell from the bathroom.
We did not hear any noise from the other rooms or the corridor but there was noise from the street outside.
The pool area was very nice and that’s what stood out including the views from up there, especially the Acropolis. The downside was that it was a bit cold to jump in the pool because of the month that we we went to. I chose this hotel because it stated that it had a heated pool.

This hotel is in need of a total remodel. The rooftop pool and restaurant were beautiful. The rooms were old and the bath was the worst. The drain smelled of sewage. Bring a candle if you want to breath. The rooms did not have a full mirror. It was in an unsafe area. There was nothing to do in this neighborhood. I would rank walkability at a 2. I would not recommend this hotel for your visit.
The staff was nice but not worth having a subpar hotel. The Expedia rating should be 2☆ hotel.
