Another Good Stay

We were only there to sleep for a few hours. The lady on reception when we arrived around midnight was lovely and extremely helpful. The room was huge and the bathroom was a good size with a great shower although the high hook for the shower head was not working properly although no big deal. The bed was a little hard for me but my husband thought it was excellent. The room was very clean.

Nice clean hotel in Pireaus

We needed a hotel to stay after our return by boat from Naxos. This was an excellent location not far from the port and not far from metro station (to go to airport next morning). Great staff, easy and quick checkin. Small but nice clean room. Small clean bathroom with shower. Easy walk to Marina with many restaurants there.

Could not ask for more!

Given many of the reviews of hotels in area, I was very concerned about arriving on a Saturday night. I have to admit to being quite shocked by how loud the the music was in the streets BUT my room at Faros 2 was absolutely dead quiet. I had a great rest - in a sparkling clean and comfortable room and was off to the islands the next morning. Highly recommend!

Very close to a wide range of bars and cafes and about a ten minute walk from the Metro.

Great 2 night stay mins away from ferries.

We stayed at faros 2 for our last 2 nights in Greece after we got off the ferry from the islands. We had an easy check in, very nice girls working at front desk and very helpful. They told us how and where to catch the bus or metro headed back to the airport. The rooms where very clean with spacious bathroom. The airconditoner worked well and we had a balcony off our room for an outdoor view. We didn't get a chance to eat at the restaurant.. But on our last day noticed they had room service for your morning coffee so you don't need to leave till your fully awake. We go to Greece every Sept and we will definitely use this hotel for our annual trip to and from the islands.

Good hotel in the port

Staff was very pleasant and helpful, room was big and spacious, very clean with lots of fresh towels. Breakfast at the nearby Faros 1 hotel is a really good deal, lots of good food, even too much for €7 only :) Piraeus area is very good, safe with lots of shopping and great places to eat and drink! In fact, I prefer it more than Plaka and other touristy areas because it gives you more local feeling. The only downside is that there is no curtain in the shower, but its a Greek thing in many other hotels we stayed before around Greece, so you can't really do much about it

Good clean hotel close to harbour

Excellent hotel close to the harbour. I have stayed here twice now and plan to stay again next summer. The hotel is clean and comfortable and the staff so helpful. Every day I would come back to clean sheets and towels nicely laid out. So clean. There is air conditioning and a mini fridge and tv in all the rooms. There is a sister hotel just round the corner which can cook you breakfast and meals any time up to 1.30 in the early hours. The food is wonderful and very good sized portions. They will even deliver to your room. Brilliant service all round. If you want a quieter room then the back of the hotel is best as there is a bar opposite. Overall a very good clean hotel.

Good hotel for short stay

Just 4 blocks from Piraeus port. Room was big and clean, doesn't have in restaurant so you'll have to walk 2 blocks to eat at Faros 1.

The only bad thing is for rooms with street view, there is a bar across the street with lots of loud music and drunken singers up to 3-4 in tbe morning, had to leave to airport at 3 am and this was pretty negative to have some rest before our departure.

Amazing value for money.

It's not the Ritz, but for £45 for a family room it was amazing value. We used it as a transit hotel for one night after a late ferry and it was very convenient, basic but clean with friendly staff and late check in. Highly recommended if that is what you are looking for.

Disappointing Trip

This hotel wasn’t at all what I thought or expected. It is farther out from the city center than it implies and not in the safest area. The Faros II hotel was subpar at best. The staff was very pleasant and kind. However, the hotel itself was disappointing and dated. The bathroom shower was dark and moldy and the room service had to come from the Faros I. It was always my impression when a second hotel is opened it is far better than the original...well in this case, I wished I had booked a room in the Faro I.
I have to always remember – you get what you pay for and in this case I sure did when I went for the cost savings. Shame on me!!

Ok for an overnight stay

We stayed at Faros 2 before our departure from Pireas to Paros. The location of the hotel is convenient for an early departure, since it is close to the port. The staff is kind. The rooms are clean and confortable, but very out of style. The hotel would greatly benefit from a rejuvenating cure.

nice for stopover

Staying beside the sea is preferable to Athens with easy access to boats and the airport bus. Hotel is comfortable and good food is available at better prices than in central Athens. Tv could be better. Reasonable hotel for a short stay.

Not a good choice.

Really poor choice. Air Conditioning never really kicked in (Piraeus in the summer is very hot); room was very small (two singles requested, only a double bed available) and would not recommend for anyone.

You get what you pay for - adequate for Pireaus

If you just need a cheap, convenient place walking distance to catch your boat in the morning then this is the perfect hotel. Anything other than that I would stay somewhere else. The neighborhood wasn't bad but definitely not the best place to stay. Hotel room and stairwell smelled like smoke and felt like you were staying in your grandma's apartment in Florida on a hot summer day. The A/C worked but not well. It was perfect for the price but if you're picky or plan on staying more than a night there I'd look elsewhere

Faros Piraues

We booked the hotel for proximity to the cruise terminal as there were rolling strikes at the time so from this hotel it is possible to walk to the terminal. It suited that requirement perfectly. Everything was OK except that the room was minute. We were only in it two nights so no problem anyway. Perfect location for ferries to the islands also.

Faros 2 hotel

Very central hotel if going for a ferry. Cross the road at Gate E10 (RBS on the corner) Faros 2 is 3rd street on the right and the hotel is about 50 yards on the left of the road. Clean rooms with comfortable beds and a good hot powerful shower. Quite a variety of rooms some a bit small and others huge with jacuzzi bath, excellent air conditioning and lots of mirrors! The boys on the front desk were all very friendly and helpful and let us leave our luggage on the last day as we were not flying until the evening. It is worth taking a walk to the marina for good restaurants. Turn left out of the hotel and take first on the left again up over the hill across the busy road and down the other side. It takes less than ten minutes and is like a different world. Lovely at night time.

Faros 2 - basic but excellent

We had an excellent one night stay here on our way between Athens airport and catching a ferry. The room was fairly basic but had everything we needed - bed, shower, linen - and very clean. The receptionist was incredibly helpful and could answer all of our questions. The neighbourhood is a bit run down, but it was a 10-15 minute walk or a short taxi to the main port so very convenient. All in all excellent value for money, highly recommended!

Rocks in the room???

We had an interesting stay here, although I would still recommend it! We had an early morning cruise so chose this hotel for the purpose of being close to Piraeus Port - it was about a 10-15mins walk. The hotel was very clean, with clean linen and towels. The reception area was nice, and the staff at the reception desk were very helpful in directing us to food and also allowing us to use the printer. The hotel is a 5mins walk to shops and restaurants.
The aspects of the hotel we found strange was that our room (101) has a specific theme to it which we found really bizarre. When first opening the door you are faced with a wall of rocks.Yes..a wall of real rocks..the bed is circular with a mirror on the roof above it, tiger print cushions etc and plants around the room giving it a slight creepy sex hotel feel. Apparently there are only 2 rooms like this (lucky us) and the rest are your normal double bed etc. room. We also had a 2 person jacuzzi in the middle of the room (amidst the rocks!) and both windows opened to nothing allowing no natural light at all. We had a leak in the bathroom after showering, but the staff were keen to look into it when I told them about it.
We were only there for one night and it was fine. Im sure the other rooms are perfectly fine as the cleanliness etc was great. We just had a strange room which made us a little uncomfortable. We probably could have moved if we had asked, but didn't bother as it was just one night.

This hotel is very conveniently located for the ferries, and you'll get to downtown Athens handily, too, with the metro or bus. There are several nice restaurants just a few minutes away. The room was clean and has A/C, and the bathroom was adequate too. You probably don't want to stay much beyond one night on your way to or from the ferry, but for that purpose this hotel is great.

Perfect for ferry the next morning

We stayed here because we had to catch a ferry at 7:30 the next morning. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. He spoke great English, told us were to go eat and helped us find our ferry in the morning. The room was all we needed for a one night stay just to sleep and was quite comfortable and clean.

Good hotel, good location, good price!

We stayed at the Faros 2 hotel for 1 night. The hotel was a 5 minute taxi ride from Pireaus. Our room was on the 2nd floor, but it is a bit of a walk up as the elevator was tiny (which is typical for all of Greece). The room was very nice, spacious and clean, had A/C and even had a balcony. There was a shower with hot water, which is all we needed to get the salt off our bodies! The beds were comfortable and had clean sheets. The location of the hotel is about 5 minutes walking to the Marina, where there are shops and restaurants and some beautiful yachts to see. It is also about 5 -10 minutes walking the opposite direction to get back to Pireaus. The room rate was cheap. All in all, we were satisfied with this hotel.

Great Value

Great price for a clean place to sleep.... not overly impressed with the neighborhood and it turned out to be an inconvenient location for our specific needs. Although we requested a non-smoking room, all that meant was that no one happened to be smoking in it at that moment. Hallways were so smoky that we might as well have a smoking room. Did NOT like that aspect. Staff were incredibly helpful and accomodating. By far a great deal for an inexpensive hotel. Fairly close to metro station, and island travel, if that's what you're after....

Conveniant - Great for a one night stay

I enjoyed our stay as it was excellent for a one night stay as we were catching the cruise ship the next day. The neighborhood is not bad and as for the hotel I thought it was good - you get what you pay for. Overall, good. The conveniance store around the corner was a great place to buy water and snacks. The musueum is right around the corner. The only complaint is the location. This hotel is very hard to find, especially if you don't speak Greek.

Stay away from this place! (if you want to enjoy Athens)

This place is moderately clean, with very convenient location close to the port and the city center. But the noise is horrible. It doesn't matter where your room is - facing the street, or inside, your sleep can be interrupted in the middle of the night because of some drunk sailors screaming at the bar next door, or by some late guests coming back to their rooms at 3 in the morning. I stayed there for 3 nights, and every night was the same.

Great hotel

We stayed at this hotel during a trip to Athens. An easy walk to the metro for a cheap (1 euro) trip to the city and a short walk to the port or taxi service. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they even stored our luggage for a 4 day trip south. The breakfast and bar in the lobby was very good also. Service was excellent. There is a bar across the street that can be noisy at night but closing the balcony door and the shutters solved the problem

Not impressed

We stayed here on our way back from Santorini to be close to the ferry's as we arrived at 10pm at night. We were told it was within walking distance from the ferry's so we didn't take a taxi to the hotel. We asked 4 different people how to get there and they all said the same thing so we walked for about a mile and it ended up being the wrong hotel. We then called a taxi and he took us to the address we had but it was actually the Faros 1 hotel, not Faros 2. I've read other reviews that said it was hard to find and now I know why. The address does not correspond to the correct hotel. The hotel was alos EXTREMELY noisy throughout the night and we felt like people were trying to get into our room. Probably had something to do with the marble floors and close vicinity of the rooms together. The elevator also only fits one person and a small suitcase so don't plan on getting to your room with anyone else accompanying you. If someone pushed the elevator button on another floor, you may end up not being able to get out on your floor and have to ride it all over again. My friend and I had a great sense of humor about that one, of course, as she and others kept ending up in the lobby after they had already gone.

Great budget hotel

This is a great budget hotel in Piraeus. An ideal place to stay if you are catching an early morning ferry to the islands. It is situated 2 blocks from the ferry terminals and takes about 10 minutes to walk. The staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms whilst basic are clean and comfortable. We would definately stay here again when catching an early morning ferry out to the islands.

Would certainly use this hotel again.

The hotel is very good value for money. Piraeus is a fairly grubby/smelly place, but this hotel is well maintained and clean. Stands out as a bit of an oasis in the general area, and is a good choice if you need to spend a couple of nights.

I stayed here for two nights on 6th Sept 2009.Very basic but clean hotel with helpful staff!Just two streets (two min walk) from Ferry Gate No 10.Gate 7 which i needed was a 10/15 min walk.
Street the hotel is on is rundown but i didnt feel unsafe at all.As i say a two min walk and ur on the main road with all the ferries, bars, restaurants and ferry ticket offices and metro satation where train takes bout 15 mins into the center of Athens!Was ideal for a short stay and wasnt expensive

Would go back

We arrived late and the manager couldn't have been more helpful. He sent us to a little Thai restaurant around the corner that fed us well at midnight. Our room was extremely large and well appointed (even if it did have mirrors on the ceiling!). Very convenient for the ferries. Would go back if needing a Piraeus stop.

We selected this hotel due to its distance from the port. We walked to the hotel from the port and it wasn't too hard to find. The room we stayed in was clean and comfortable. The AC worked and the bathroom was bigger than other hotels we stayed in in Greece. The neighbor hood looks a little rough, but we only stayed the night.

Did the job!

The hotel was in quite a run down area and thankfully the taxi driver had sat nav! The frontage of the hotel looked very nice and the reception area had obviously been given a facelift. The rooms themselves were very basic although they served the purpose for one night before moving onto another island. The other couple in our party found it very difficult to sleep with a noisy air con unit outside their room and also nearby building work began extremely early in the morning. I dont want to paint too bad a picture but it really was fine for just one night.

was a nice hotel. found athens in general to be a pretty grimy and scary place. the area the port and hotel are in are fairly scary, but no where near as bad as omonia!! (dont go near omonia!). there were families staying there and the hotel felt very safe. great location if you have an early or late ferry arrival or departure! also close to metro.
