Farres Romantic Vacations

Small room and bathroom. Far from metro. Doubtful neibourhood. Average breakfast. Missing batteries in air conditionner remote

We did not have breakfast at the hotel.

Hotel Ilissos was one of the most welcoming places in downtown Athens!!! They cared for me like family. The breakfast buffet was beautiful with many options, fresh international cuisine, clean facilities and rooms with incredible views of the acropolis! They helped me find my way with walking, directions the bus and Subway and how to live like a local, even though I was a tourist. I’ll definitely be back!

Property is average but has a great rooftop view. And nice area to relax and have drinks with food. Rooms are clean but needs an upgrade. Overall it's a nice place to stay.

The property itself is lovely. Only issues was when I checked in, my shower was wet and seemed dirty/not kept up. Water would leak from one side of the door due to lining falling off. Area around the hotel is the only real downside. Walked around the streets around it and saw human waste on sidewalks not even a block away. A rat also almost ran across my foot at the same area. Recommend taking taxis or arranging rides over walking if you stay here.

We liked how close this property was to the Acropolis and nice restaurants, all with a 30 minute wall or less. However, when our Uber driver dropped us off he warned us not to go out at night because it was not a safe area. On our walks, we saw a lot of things that told us that was probably pretty accurate. The libby of the hotel was pretty nice. You could get specialty coffes, tea, pastries, etc. at the counter and there was a nice vending machine with drinks and foods, more than just snack food for cheap. Our room, however, was pretty gross. It wreaked of cigarette smoke and the smell stuck to our clothes and followed us for the rest of our vacation to the other places we stayed. It was disgusting. And it wasn't very clean either. On top of that, the bed was like sleeping on a very thin rock. Not enjoyable. Plus, there os a ton of noise in the area and the rooms do not block out sound at all. We would not stay here again.

The whole booking process went smoothly, staff were very helpful and pleasant, would definitely stay here again.

Room was clean and orderly. Bathroom door didn’t close well but otherwise nice stay.
