Park Yeri Olan Atina Otelleri

7.5/10 Location: Outside of “central” Athens but easily connected by metro & buses. Kifisia is gorgeous, safe, filled with high end boutiques, restaurants + cafes. Room/Ambience: Hotel itself is stunning + very relaxing vibe. Decor details incredible as expected of a boutique hotel of this nature.  Food: Very good selection of hot + cold, plus actual barista coffee. Do not expect American style breakfast - this is Europe after all. We did not eat lunch or dinner but the menus looked great and was filled with locals in the evening. Service: Although reception staff were sufficiently friendly, service very lacking for a high end boutique hotel. It was 26 degrees celsius every day while in Athens. Not prior to our stay, nor during check-in did anyone advise us that the pool was closed likely until end of May. This is not advertised on any booking platform, or on the hotel website, which was very disappointing. We sat in the pool lounge chairs for over two hours (staff saw us as the restaurant is immediately adjacent). Nobody offered us pool towels to lie on, or if we wanted to order any drinks or food. My partner had to get dressed, go to reception and ask. They didn’t even offer to clean the pool given the hot weather made it ready for use. It really put a downer on our stay, and why we opted not to have dinner at the hotel restaurant. Similar experience at breakfast; nobody offered us coffee orders, we heard someone else order and realised it was available.

This place is quite unusual. My room was upgraded so that I had a suite over two floors, with a small private pool on another lower level. Absolutely every convenience had been considered, some extras might verge on overkill (bog roll tied up with a ribbon for example). The room looked amazing on first inspection, but I quite quickly realised the smell of the pool was so strong it stung my eyes, and the sound of the ventilation unit was quite a roar. There was only one small openable window on the mezzanine level next to the bed and I had to sleep with that open as wide as possible. Bed was extremely comfortable, I had to turn off the pool ventilator unit in the middle of the night because it kept waking me up, but once I had done that and the smell of baking bread entered the room from a bakery down the road I slept like a log. Staff were really nice and friendly, but they are working with quite difficult circumstances and perhaps unnecessarily. The kitchen is on the bottom floor and breakfast is served on the 5th floor roof (from which you can see the Parthenon) breakfast is a little awkward as you get a huge wicker basket 🧺 full of food plus crepes, plus omelette, plus tuna sandwich, a whole baguette (some more little ribbons), and I am not sure anyone can eat as much as is provided, and the server had to keep travelling up and down in the one person elevator. Probably would be better to ask guests what they would like to have for breakfast out of the options available and have a coffee/tea station upstairs. There is the option to take lunch in your room - for which the picnic basket concept makes a lot more sense. Seems like there should be a way to make the place feel more efficient and common sensible. I did get the feeling that they might have only just opened and are finding their feet, so I hope this review will be useful - certainly was a generous accommodation and staff are working very hard to make sure guests have the best possible experience.

Bu geleneksel bir otel. Tesisler biraz eski olsa da temiz ve iyi donanımlı. Odamın manzarası da çok güzeldi; Akropolis'i görebiliyordum. Personel güler yüzlüydü ve kahvaltı menüsü oldukça çeşitliydi. Konumu özellikle uygun: Metro istasyonu ve Yeni Akropolis Müzesi sadece birkaç dakikalık yürüme mesafesinde ve ayrıca yakınlarda birçok restoran bulunuyor.

This gem of a hotel in the port is fantastic. Tasteful furnished, roomy and very clean it has everything you need to a stay before boarding a cruise. We arrived very late at night and were greeted warmly and were checked in in no time. The WiFi is free and fast and the included buffet breakfast was very welcome. I would certainly stay again if I was boarding a cruise which is just a short walk away.

Highlights: beautiful views of acropolis and surrounding area from rooftop bar/restaurant space (also where breakfast served), buffet of good standard and restaurant staff very polite and a credit to the hotel. Improvements: reception staff generally very helpful but one particular staff member was not forthcoming with information/recommendations for restaurants/ details regarding late check out - we were always referred to come back later/following day to reception to ask someone else; when same questions asked later to a different member of staff, they were more than happy to help with all enquiries. Room: no ‘do not disturb’ sign available, housekeeping knocked on room at 9am every day, which woke us up; also housekeeping entering room after knocking on door without waiting for guests to respond; need some adjustments to respect privacy or guests; hotel corridors are very stuffy even in winter time Overall: a very pleasant stay

Avrupa'ya ilk seyahatimizdi, bu yüzden oldukça Avrupai olduğunu düşündüğüm şeyler vardı. Minik asansörler ve odanıza elektrik sağlamak için kartlı giriş bizim için bir ilkti. Bir gemi yolculuğuna çıkmadan önce sadece bir gece oradaydık, ancak genel olarak konaklamamızdan çok memnun kaldım. Resepsiyondaki check-in işlemi mükemmeldi ve kahvaltı büfesi harikaydı. Tek rahatsızlık veren, sabah 1:30'da gürültülü bir şekilde geri dönen misafirlerdi ve bu kötü misafirlerdi, otelin hatası değildi.

The room was fine — very clean and spacious. However, the sink got blocked after just one day of use, and during showers the water would splash outside the shower area, so I had to use towels to dry the floor. Also, in the morning canteen, one of the male staff members was not very polite. He seemed a bit rude and did not treat us the same way as he treated other tables.

Maliyet performansı oldukça iyi olduğu için kalışımı uzatmaya karar verdim. Otelin temizliği, olanakları ve olanakları asgari düzeyde olduğu için iyiydi. Konaklama ücretine ek olarak vergi öderken resepsiyonda yalnızca nakit kabul ettikleri söylendi, bu yüzden lütfen bunu unutmayın.

As it was our honeymoon this was our first booking and it was almost perfect the location wasn’t ideal as it was out of the way but the hotel was very nice and it had everything we needed.

Otelin dış cephesi davetkar görünüyor; ancak ön kapıdan içeri girdiğimizde lobinin etrafındaki ağır perdenin uzun zamandır temizlenmediğini hissedebiliyorduk. Lobideki tüm kanepeler, sanırım eski ve davetkar olmayan görüntüyü gizlemek için bir çeşit bezle kaplıydı. Giriş işlemleri basit ve samimiydi. Merdivenlerdeki hiçbir ışık çalışmıyordu ve merdivenlerden yukarı ve aşağı inerken yolu aydınlatmak için telefonumun flaşını kullanmak zorunda kaldım; oteli hızlı bir şekilde boşaltmanız gerekiyorsa tehlikeli olabilir. Oda kapısında anahtar kart yuvası var ama sanırım bozuk çünkü oda kapısını açmak için fiziksel bir anahtara ve elektriği açmak için bir anahtar karta ihtiyacım vardı. Odanın büyüklüğü iyi ve tavanı yüksek. Banyoda el duşu için bir kanca yok, bu yüzden duş almak pek pratik değil, su da her zaman yeterince sıcak olmuyor. Klima, ayar düğmesi soğuk olmasına rağmen sıcak hava üflüyordu ve bu da odayı daha sıcak ve uyumak için rahatsız edici hale getiriyordu. Otel yorumları, bunun insanların 10 yıldan uzun süredir şikayet ettiği yaygın sorunlardan biri olduğunu gösteriyor!!!! Odayı serinletmek için tüm pencereleri açtım ve bu da bütün gece trafik gürültüsüne neden oldu. Otel uzun yıllardır ihmal edilmiş ve şaşırtıcı bir şekilde hala faaliyette mi????
