Comfortable hotel with nice staff who gave good quality advice to help make the most of our stay in Athens.
The area around the hotel was quite run down and wasn't particularly pleasant to walk through particularly in the evenings.
Inside hotel and rooms were very clean and well kept. Service was great, breakfast wonderful. Only issue is location, a bit far from Plaka area but that said about 10min Uber drive.
The Novotel was a great option for a short stay. The rooms were clean with plenty of space.
The food top pool and bar were a real bonus after a hot walk around the sights of Athens
The room was nice but I could still from the stains in the carpet and the walls, the room hadn’t been deep cleaned in a while. Hotel staff were nice and the breakfast buffet was fanstastic. The biggest con was the location. The location was under construction and I only felt safe walking during daytime on specific roads. If you took a wrong turn you could land in a sketchy poorly lit area.
