Marina Hotel Athens

Awesome hotel right next to the Acropolis.

Prós: Location was fantastic with it being close to all the restaurants in Plaka as well as Monasteraki. The rooms were well appointed and the bathrooms were probably the best that my girlfriend saw during our stay in Greece. The rooftop restaurant was world class with awesome views of Hadrien's gate. Highly recommend it. The staff at the reception were great at making reservations and helpful with directions.

Contras: The gym was quite an insult to the hotel of this calibre. It was located outside with outdated equipment out of which most of them didn't work. If I did not know the area well, then I wouldn't have felt safe going to the gym which was accessible from the outside next to a dark street and parking garage.

Prós: Preis/Leistung stimmt Personal ist freundlich

Contras: Frühstück hat wenig Auswahl Lage ist nicht die Beste

Prós: The price is right, it's basic and the neighborhood is a bit sketchy. But it's walking distance to public transportation and the sights. Breakfast was good and the bag storage is a very nice touch.

Contras: The bathroom was a "wet room" with an incorrectly sloped floor. No way to take a shower without creating a pool in the bathroom.

Nice place. I would stay there again.

Prós: Location near Omonia metro station, one of the three vertices of the downtown triangle (I was told) which encompasses the downtown shopping district.

Contras: I wish the refrigerator would stay on ALL THE TIME so that food and drink would stay cold while you were out enjoying the town.
