Overall this hotel was ok. Solid and decent.
But I know, from having stayed in Athens in another hotel, in another area, the previous weekend there are better options out there. Ironically my previous hotel, which had better facilities and was better located, was also £50 per night cheaper!
The area around the hotel was scruffy with lots of graffiti, although you could say that about a lot of Athens. The hotel said the area was safe, but it did feel sketchy walking back late at night. There was little life around it and limited dining options, although it was only about a10-15 min walk to the parliament, Syntgama Sq etc
In contrast the previous week I had stayed in Psiri, which although also riddled with grafiti, had a lively bar and restaurant scene. Even late into the night there were lots of people milling around and I never once felt bothered there.
The staff were pleasant and welcoming at the COlors Hotel and the rooms were clean. I didn't like the message, which you see in a lot of Athens, telling you not to put your toilet paper down the toilet but into the bin provided. The hotel I stayed at last week, also in Athens was more modern and didn't have this requirement.
Finally the hotel lift is very old, has a manual door arrangement (you slide and open the doors) and can only fit in about 3 people in. Two is a squash if you have a suitcase each.
