Phidias Hotel

Avoid this hotel and any of its group at all costs! My mom, her friend and I reserved it several weeks in advance, we booked the transfer service with them as well. When we got to the hotel the receptionist was very nervous and told us we had to go to their other partner hotel (Golden City), by taxi (on the house). I informed her about our friend’s reduced mobility and that she was handicap, so the location was crucial. We got to Golden City and were completely mistreated by them. First, they gave us the key for the room. Okay, we went to the fourth floor. There was no room for us!!! We went downstairs to ask the receptionist, he said the room wasn’t even in the hotel, it was a rental apar**ent close to the hotel! I asked for assistance with our handicap friend’s luggage, he said he could not do anything, with a smirk on his face! We went to the building, people cooking ***** in the street. The elevator fitted only one person and it got stuck between floors. I had to kick and pull it open to take my mom out of it. The room they gave us had only one bed for the 3 of us! I went straight down to reception, gave them back the keys. Went back to Phidias. The receptionist said there were no rooms on our floor (2nd) because all of them had electrical issues and no light at all. I went outside and saw guests drinking and chatting on the balconies on that same floor she said was out of order! I’d say they booked them in for a higher price. Such scammers! Luckily I found another hotel (Dorian Inn) for the same night. The whole saga took us 4 hours, at the risk of our friend falling and injuring herself with the lack of assistance.

Excellent Hotel for visiting Athens comfortable Hotel within easy walking of all the sites. Plenty of restaurants and bars within a 5min walk.

I like location, room, breakfast Issues with toilet paper. Blanket cleankiness, and sometimes nobody in reception when we needed.

The electricity was out at the hotel so they moved us to another hotel that was 20 minutes away and there were homeless people sleeping outside the hotel accross the street. The room was very small and there was no coffee in the morning before our flight out.

Lovely hotel in a superb location. Many of the sites of central Athens are within easy walking distance and it’s also well served by public transport. Despite being so well located, the hotel is in a less bustling, pedestrianised area, so it is peaceful at night. The staff were also really polite and helpful and the breakfast is good with a nice selection of Greek specialties.

Wonderful room and location! The receptionist at night was do kind anx helpful(short blond hair). The room was lovely with complimentary tea and kettle. It was very comfortable and though bookjng.com made an error, the receptionist honored the price. The only negative i have to say is the girl at the bar that night and whenbi chevked out wiyh a lot of makeup lonv hair and tatoos was extremely rude and unhelpful. She was so unprofessionslvompared to the lovely staff at night. Dhe refused to help md make a simple phone call to my next accomodation. She was incompetent and unprofessional in every way. I am surprised she worked there since everyone rlse was dressex appropriately and very kind. Still the value and kind trea**entbof the night staff who spent 40 minutes on the phone with bookung gor me after they hung up on her twice, coupled with the immaculate and beautiful room is worth 5 stars

The staff was exceptionally friendly and accomdating. Neighbourhood restaurants were charming and exceptional food at every one. Attractions were within walking distance and Acropolis at night time was breath taking.

I was taking an early morning cruise and was going to miss breakfast. They kindly packed a to-go one for me and was waiting at the front desk at 6 am when I departed. So considerate. They were also very generous with tourist information. Would stay here again.

Pleasant hotel in quiet location situated conveniently for Metro and main attraction within walking distance. Plenty of Cafes/Restaurants near by
