Novotel Athenes - Athen

Poolen var dejligt placeret, men vandet var MEGET koldt. Det synes jeger for dårligt, når man tænker på hvor mange stjerner hotelet har. Vi havde glædet os meget til at bade i poolen, men vi blev meget skuffet..Resten af hotellet var fint. MVH Jørn.

The swimmingpool is nice, but was croweded all day. The neighbourhood, south of the hotel, was a bit scarry. Take the metro from center of town to Larissa instead.

Selve hotellet var vi godt tilfredse med, men det viste sig at det lå i et område, hvor vi blev frarådet fra flere sider(taxa chauffør, personale og folk vi mødte) at være udenfor efter møkets frembrud. Det er jo ikke særlig betryggende og især ikke som børnefamilie.

Rigtig godt hotel med udmærket service og god standard. Desværre ligger hotellet i et ret ubehageligt område af Athen, hvor man skal være varsom med at færdes efter mørkets frembrud. Men ellers meget ok hotel for et par nætter. Børnefamilie, DK.

Morgenmaden er rigtig god. Pool terrassen på 7 sal er flot og med fantastisk udsigt. Hotellet ligger ikke helt i centrum, men udemærket. Vi har boet der 2x2 dage med vores 2 børn og nydt det meget. Nabolaget er lidt broget, men vi følte os helt trygge. Hotellet anbefales herfra.

Hotellet var meget fint. Værelset var rent og pænt og rengøringen var fin hver dag. Morgenmaden var frisk og lækker med et stort udvalg. Fitnessrummet var godt med fine maskiner og lyst og venligt. Swimmingpoolen var ren og pæn med en fantastisk udsigt. Det eneste minus ved hotellet, er placeringen i byen. Hotellet ligger dejligt centralt, men på nogle […] gader med et lidt hårdt miljø. Dog gik vi hver aften frem og tilbage i byen, og blev aldrig antastet. Læs mere

Modern and clean room. Got a very good price for a room with an extra bed for our children. Close to a metro station. Location not as bad as mentioned in other reviews. Nice pool on the roof. Highly recommendable!!

Fin service, flot rengøring, venlig betjening, god ved børn, men alt for dyr restaurant sammenlignet med spisesteder lige ved siden af

Hotellet er der faktisk kun godt at sige om; flot stand, dejlig og omfangsrig morgenbuffet, pæne lidt små værelser, en lille men tiltrængt pool på tagterrassen, der har en fantastisk udsigt (særligt om aftenen) til Akropolis og ud over hele Athen. MEN, og sådan et er der: nabolaget er temmelig broget. Vi følte os ikke særlig trygge ved at gå rundt i […] området med vors børn. Det bærer tydelig præg af social elendighed. Læs mere

Familieværelserne er for små. Hotellet virker indvendigt velholdt, men ligger lidt for langt væk fra centrum, samt en del af kvarteret er belastede. Indtrykket var også, at en stor del af personalet forekom uvenlige. Maden i den ene restaurant hænger kvalitet og pris slet ikke sammen. Maden var utrolig ringe til prisen. Morgenmaden var dog velasorterede […] og frisk.. Læs mere

Flot og moderne hotel der helt levede op til forventningerne. Beliggenheden lidt kedelig, men dog kun ti minutter fra moderne metrostation. God service, fine faciliteter fx fitness, pool og bar på taget. Lækre værelser. Helt sikkert et sted vi godt vil tilbage til.

VI havde et par gode dage på Novotel efter en gang Ø hop - Naxos - Paros - Mykonos - Paros - Milos. Dejligt at afslutte ferien med et godt hotel.

Selve hotellet er ok, fin betjening, rent og ordentligt. Hyggelig pool på toppen. Men hotellet ligger i et slumkvarter fuld af narkomaner, ludere og indvandrere. Jeg vil ikke anbefale dette hotel til børnefamilier eller andre med sarte sjæle.

Good basic hotel with restaurant. food good but expensive. I found the bed way too hard.

Good hotel for business trips. Everything what you need you will find there.

Nice staff and rooms were fine. Location was not the best - and did not feel safe waling to Metro from hotel.

Great hotel in the best french tradition.It is however located in a disantvantaged area of Athens .The metro station is less than a ten minute walk away and makes going everywhere easy and comfortable. Staff were extremely polite and efficient and the breakfast was unusually varied and of top quality.The terrace restaurant was also an attraction of […] is own with views of the parthenon,Lycabbetus hill etc. Læs mere

Very busy hotel and family friendly and orientated. If you are looking for a small hotel with local ambience - this will no be your choice. Very good value for money if you book on line. Very friendly, helpful and patient staff.

Great hotel with views of the acropolis from the roof top. Staff knew english and were very helpful. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Great pool and bar on the rooftop. However surrounding neighbour seemed sketchy.

The hotel is clean and well presented with a very nice rooftop pool and bar restaruant with a great view of the acropolis, well equipped gym . Our room was well serviced and clean . The staff were very friendly and helpfull the surrounding area is best described as an eye sore with graffiti covering almost every inch of wall space I would recommend […] not getting a taxi from one of the drivers who hang around the entrance we had very unpleasant ride with one, the staff went so far as to call the police. The front desk will get you one that is safe . I would recommend the hotel if you dont wish to walk the streets outside Læs mere

Located in the middle of red light district, not advisable to go out after dark. Grafiti every where. Not nice. Food average, pool small and shallow 0.5m at on end. View from roof nothing special, Restraunt on the roof been to bigger roadside food vans. Spend your money on 5 star. For a bit more money you can get a lot more and be safe!

The Hotel was clean and the staff were all friendly and very helpful. The free wifi was also good although only available in the lobby. As many have reviewed, the surrounding neighbourhood is a bit dodgy but it did not seem unsafe. The rail and metro are also easy to get to. My main complaints with the hotel are the room comfort and the prices of bar […] and restaurant. The AC in the rooms is very weak and the comfort of the beds poor. Also the pillows would be the worst we have had in a hotel. We did not sleep well at all. Don't bother with the restaurants. We tried the "cheaper" one downstairs on the last night and were extremely disappointed. The food is reasonably expensive which would not be an issue if it was a reasonable quality but it was well below poor quality. Did not try upstairs. Be prepared to pay through the teeth for drinks on the roof top bar. It is a nice veiw though and the pool is nice as well. There are a lot of reasonably priced restaurants in the area that serve excellent quality food and drink. I would recommend this and from the emptiness of the restaurant I think this is what most guests must do. Also breakfast is way above average in price. Not bad but not really good. Læs mere

The hotel was spotless and the pool was very clean. I can't say enough about the staff, they were so helpful and friendly with everything, they couldn't do enough for us. We booked a one day cruise through them and loved it.

Novotel hotels are consistent world-wide. Clean, reasonably priced, modern hotels, often in poor locations in a City. This one was no exception but, I would not stay there are again if visiting Athens. The Hotel was good but, the area was terrible.

the room and the hotel is clean and good maintain. Only problem is one of pc provided in the lobby for free internet access is not working for my entire 3 nights stay. Notified the hotel staff and they said already informed IT department but it take ages to be fixed. So only one pc available which is definitely not enough. Don't expect too much on the […] gym facility, it has only 3 equipments in the small room. Not sure about the pool as it was closed when i visited in october. The nearest metro will take at least 10 mins by foot but is not a problem for us. from the port to hotel will cost not more than 20 euro if you cross the road to the opposite to take meter cab. Don't really feel the place is particular unsafe, it is the same as everywhere in athens, you must be aware of pickpockets especially in the metro. Læs mere

Convenient location close to Metaxugrio metro. Colourful neighbourhood in old part of Athens, area around hotel can be a bit seedy in the evenings.

Very nice hotel with a really nice poolarea. Great view of Athens and the Acropolis. Clean and comfortable room. Not very big, but ok. Sofabed as extrabed was ok for a child (but maybe not for a grown-up). Close enough to the Metro.

Very comfortable , great bed/shower etc. The area around Omonia is very dodgy but most hotels in this area anyway. Free internet access , great bar , would definately stay again

We were very glad that we stayed at this hotel. The receptionists were welcoming, friendly, efficient and kind. There is 3 nice big lifts in the hotel. The hotel is appearantly not in a good area but it looked to me like the rest of Athens. The area was not seedy. The Larissa metro was less than a 5 min. walk awsy. One gets the feeling that the hotel […] thinks of everything to make their guests happy. From a cute playing areas for little ones with their own computors and games to free internet and use of 2 dedicated computors for the hotel guests in the lobbly. The hotel is clean and very spacious and comfortable. The selection of food at breakfast was overwhelming and good. The swimming pool on the top of the hotel was a winner and welcome in the heat of Athens. I got the idea that some families just stayed for the day without going out. The view from the roof were unbelievable. Athens is massive and I were told that Greece has a population of 12 million of which 5 million live in the area. Thank goodness for the excellent new, clean and efficient metro thanks to the Olympic games. There was a great local restaurant around the corner where we ate at night. I always prefer eating out where the locals do. The prices are half of the hotell's and the food portions were way too big, delicious and fresh. When you exit the hotel, turn left, cross the road and walk left and turn right at the corner. It is less than a minute from the hotel. Læs mere

The staff was pompous and not accommodating. They made us feel as though we should be honored to stay at their hotel, but this hotel wasn't even high-class. The bathroom was dirty upon arrival, and a light was broken. When asking the staff for help they were not helpful. We were really disappointed with this stay, and would recommend NOT staying at […] this hotel. Læs mere

Although the location wasn't the most picturesque, the hotel could reasonably be reached via metro and a short walk from nearly anywhere in the city. The room was very clean and comfortable. The air conditioning wasn't particularly powerful, but there was an in room safe and the hotel itself felt secure. I would stay here again and recommend it to  […] others. Læs mere

The hotel has decided to economize by not providing air conditioning or hot water. The thermastats in the room did not work. There was no air conditioning in the room even during days when the temperature was over 90. The water for showers and shaving was never more than lukewarm. The hotel itself was nice, but it was in a very dirty, run down area […] about 15 blocks from the nearest metro stop. Læs mere

I was very pleased with the interior of the Novotel Athenes. It's very modern and everything looked brand-new. Aside from the location (near Omonia, which is not a very good part of Athens anymore, and not near any tourist attractions), I was disappointed when I was given a smoking room. The room was immaculate but the cigarette smoke permeated everything, […] making it unpleasant for us. When I called the front desk to complain, they simply said that they didn't have any other rooms available and they did not offer any assistance in removing the odor (housekeeping had already left). Other than that, the room was pretty spacious, good lighting, gorgeous bathroom and nice toiletries and linens, and it even had a little pot to make coffee and tea right in the room. The gym was simple but had a functional elliptical trainer, towels, and a big flat panel tv. The swimming pool also looked welcoming from the rooftop, but I didn't get a chance to check it out. Breakfast is not included, and costs a whopping 15 euros (I did not partake). I think it's a shame that such a nice, modern hotel is located in such a rough part of Athens. I probably would not go back again due to the bad location. If it were located in a safer neighborhood and closer to the tourist attractions, then I would return in a heartbeat. If you are not a tourist and the neighborhood does not bother you, then I would definitely recommend this hotel. Just make sure to specify whether you want a non-smoking room in advance! Læs mere

As a busy professional and traveller, I was amazed how one amenity wasn't complimentary such as WiFi. I had to travel all the way to Syntagma Sq, Athens, Greece. for it (WiFi) during my stay. For a high and price rating hotel, I hoping for complimentary WiFi; but I would recommend only if the guest can do without WiFi. Comfortable bedding, good customer […] service and lack of checkout receipt! Læs mere

This hotel was a big disappointment. It's not very close to a metro line and forces you to walk through sub-optimal neighborhoods (for up to a half mile) to get there. There are no sheets on the bed, but rather, a comforter that apparently has it's cover changed daily (we felt that was a little suspect). There were grime stains in the shower and dirt […] stains on the floor. There was only one front desk person working after 11pm (when we got there) and after 2 requests for sheets, we finally had a security guard bring them to us (only to find out they were the extra covers the comforter). Læs mere

The hotel was nice however, when our friends picked us up to go out, they told us not to walk outside by ourselves at night, it was semi-dangerous. You can tell somewhat when you are there but because the normal tourist areas in Athens are generally dirty anyway, you may not fully realize. The pool area was very nice and easy access. The hotel overall […] is a little warm, air conditioning was not really working so well. Læs mere

Hotel was great - lovely pool etc and views of the Acropolis, however the location is a bit of a nothing location. We always had to get the metro to sites and out again out for dinner as there was nothing around the hotel. However for the price, you wouldn't find anything as good quality anywhere near the Acropolis.

Title says it all.

Really cool and modern inside. Felt very European and hip. Rooftop restaurant was yummy, a little pricey, but had interesting things i wouldn't have had otherwise. The night view from the roof was unbeatable with the lit up acropolis in the distance. Realized too late that the "Larissa" station on the metro system was indeed the closer stop to find […] hotel on foot. A couple of euros for internet use in a separate lobby lounge was very handy. A very roomy room at a good price. We thought the neighborhood a bit rough, but then we could see, it was a bit tough all over compared to the smaller town we come from; don't be put off, it's not dangerous, people live in the neighborhood after all. I loved the handy rooftop pool for mid-day cooling off and view. We didn't have the breakfast at 15euros because we got frappe and fresh bakery at every turn on our way to the metro. Læs mere
