You get what you pay for, staff are nice and helpful, the rooms are basic and bathrooms are small and a little cramped. But for location and convenience if you are travelling by train it is a great stay. A short 20-30 minute stroll into central Athens, although if walking at night stick to the main roads.

A good cheap hotel close to Larissa/athens train station. Its beds are a bit hard and bathroom is a bit small but the aircon worked for us and it was cheap. One of the receptionists- Stefan was really nice! If you want a cheap place in a good travel location without a hefty price tag then this is the place for you!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place itself was nice, however, the area was sketchy at best. It’s not that hotels fault that public transit is absolute garbage, but it should be noted because it is super close to the central train terminal. So you might think that’s helpful for getting around. It’s not. If you’re adventurous enough, I recommend renting a car, using a good maps system, and paying for insurance. The people who ran this hotel were super nice, I need to reiterate this, because it seems like I didn’t like the overall stay. They were great

Good hotel. It has everything you need at a price you can’t beat. Good shower with hot water. Clean beds. Nice balcony. Television. Close to the train station. 24 hour front desk with helpful staff. I would certainly stay again next time I’m in Athens.

Selected for proximity to Larissa Station - therefore airport - and didn’t disappoint. Economical option four metro stops from Syntagma. Clean room, comfortable and helpful staff. Extended stay by a night and would book there again when back in Athens.

For 2 young boys from Canada traveling around Europe this place had everything we needed. Bathroom wasn’t anything special but worked. The two twin beds were perfect for the two of us and it was nice being able to walk everywhere. There’s no where in Athens you can’t walk in less then 30 minutes. Overall it was a good stay for the money
