Everything was great but the AC was not able to cool the room. We were there 3 nights in July, and all of the nights we were hot. One cannot leave the AC running during the day because the key to the room is also the key to the electricity. When you arrive at your room after an entire day out the AC has to start from zero to cool the room.
It will be a great place to stay during the shoulder season but not for the summer.

* there is also a design problem, the room is shaped as an L and the AC is too far from the bed. Maybe having the AC on the wall on top of the bed would alleviate the problem.

Exceeded expectations. Would stay again for sure.

Not a 24 hr hotel so check in runs a bit quirky, in a good way. Check in at the adjoined bakery. My check in easy. Not sure about after hours.

Super cute rooms! Had a sink and some dishes in the room which is always nice when you’re travelling. Great location too, close to everything. We stayed in two places in Athens and this was our favourite!

The room was perfect for a one night stay in Athens before an early morning flight. The room was well appointed and very comfortable, albeit it took a bit of fiddling with the window to get the air conditioner to work properly. Communication with Marina was great and the location was perfect for exploring all the best Monastiraki has to offer.

The only downside was the lack of soundproofing on the doors (we could regularly hear doors slamming during the late evening and guests talking in the hallways).

Otherwise an enjoyable stay and would happy stop by again next time we’re in Athens. Thank you!

Great hotel, yummy breakfast, close to everything

This hotel has limited check-in hours. In the event, you miss the check-in window, walk into the hotel door, open the door on your left and walk into the restaurant which will be empty. Continue walking and on the right hand side there will be a table that likely has a key card for your room. If you continue walking further back within the restaurant, there is an elevator on the right hand side past the bathrooms. This hotel is fantastic, Maria is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is amazing so given the opportunity to include it in your stay, I would highly recommend though it is still available for purchase. This is located near many sites and very walkable to shops, restaurants and other things. We would stay here again.

Keep in mind hotels in Europe do not have conditioner or wash clothes so come prepared.

It was very hot in Athens for my three day stay. This is my second stay at the Dogpound and I really loved it the first time. The price is right and it is very central. Check in was easy with keys left for us. The rooms are large and comfortable. My only problem is that I feel there was little support or attention when I needed something. For example my air conditioner was working but on the last night I couldn’t get the temperature lower than 26 degrees. I also had to seek out the person to pay for my accomodation.

We stayed for 5 nights with some friends, staying in 3 rooms. Myself and partner stayed in the room with rooftop access.
Dogpound Hotel is a very convenient location, a couple of minutes walk from Monistiraki metro station (which goes from the airport), and near to many tourist sites, places to eat, etc. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and all rooms that we saw were similarly modern and clean - one had balcony access with a table and hammock (also lovely for chatting with friends).
There was an issue with the hot water not working on the first morning (unrelated to turning on the boiler), but they fixed it the same day and no issues for the rest of our stay. The breakfasts were amazing. We all tried different options and were happy with all of them, in particular, the overnight breakfast bowl and the egg/salsa were most popular. We never explored anywhere else for breakfast as we really enjoyed the food here.
The main concern for our room was the stairwell didn't leave much space on one side of the bed, making it difficult for the person on that side to get in and out of the bed. It also made accessing the storage area for clothes difficult, so I wouldn't recommend this room for those with mobility challenges (perhaps the balcony access option might work better).

Noisy rooms but great location and breakfast

The location and decor was very very good! Being only minutes away from the metro was very handy.
The breakfast was delicious, it’s a shame it started at 8am as had to miss it two days out of three due to tours and early ferries.
The rooms were not soundproofed at all! We could hear everything going on in rooms and the corridor, I didn’t get a full nights sleep the whole time I was there due to the noise ( I don’t think people were being exceptionally noisy, it’s just that the walls were so thin!)
We also found check in not very easy. The instructions before hand were great but it wasn’t clear where ‘reception’ was at all when we got there and ended up walking around lost in the hotel for a while.
If you’re a heavy sleeper or have ear plugs I would have no hesitation in staying, however for the noise alone we wouldn’t recommend

Although it was tricky trying to navigate with the multiple luggages on a narrow street, hotel has a good vibe once we got in. Marina was very helpful once we got in, got an early check in. Place has an elevator which helps with luggages. Place was clean well-lit and well decorated. AC, fridge and water heater was a huge plus. Conveniently located near restaurant, bars, shops, and about 15-20 minutes walk to the Acropolis. Would book again if Im at the area.

This hotel turned out to be a complete nightmare. I booked this hotel for 5 nights. I left after my 2nd night . I forgot my key card inside my room when I went to get some food late at night. When I returned I could not get inside my room and there was no staff on duty to help. I ended up being stranded in the lobby/kitchen area over night. It wasn’t until 7am until the owners husband let me into my room. I didn’t sleep the entire night. I also never had hot water. I took cold showers. The a/c heating unit was also not functioning. The breakfast was also very poor. I requested a refund from the owner which was denied. She said they were knew and trying to worst things out. Not my problem! After leaving them a bad review, she then threatened me with her lawyer to remove my review. Unbelievable!

Hip Hop stay in Athens

We stayed three nigths at the Dogpound in February. The hosts are very friendly albeit not always punctual.
On the first morning the person responsible for breakfast arrived late for breakfast service.
Breakfast is limited to 4 choices, everything however is tasty.
Because we stayed in winter and the communal area is open to the street 24/7 the place was cold hence we had to sit with coats while munching our food.
The rooms are generous and have everything you need for a comfy stay.
The only way of heating the rooms is by using the aircon in \"reverse\". Unfortunately this stopped working on day 2 when the temperatures dropped in Athens.
My room was facing the street and you want to be aware that Greek people can be a noisy bunch at night.
Bring earbuds !
Overall nice stay but I reckon if we come back we would not stay for more than 1 night or go elsewhere.
