Hotel Apollo - Athens

Good location ... easy access to public transport. EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY

The hotel was not good, towels were not provided and when we asked for them, admittedly it was late and night receptionist wasn't too happy as he was the only one around and reluctantly brought us towels. remote for tv did not work, not worth the stay for that price

Not close to any city attractions but very close to Metro (100m) with access everywhere in the city. Good relation price-quality. English speaking staff, good attention. Full breakfast.

The hotel is not bad but the if you are walking in the area you must be careful during nights, it was not easy to find a place to eat for a family, a lot of bars were there. The acropolis and city centre are within reach with the metro which is 5 min walking. We had a problem, we wanted to take breakfast 5 min before opening of the restaurant, and the lady who was taking care of this, gave us a angry look and she shouted at the recepcionist in front of other guest. The recepcionists were nice, specially the swiss lady.

Very noisy and old hotel. It has a terrace on ceiling which is accessed throught a stair from 6th floor, the filft does not go up to there. Very noisy when your room is on that floor 'cause people circulate to go to/leave the terrace. The hotel team spent some time after midnight to tidy up the terrace by moving furniture around right above our head. They showed very little customer's respect. The breakfast is not a buffet, not a lot of choice. I definitely not recommend this hotel. Better go to the hotel right next to it, Crystal City Hotel which is cheaper, newer and much better!!

Hotel situated in a zone full of not well people. the parking was on the street and not in a private parking and the owner told us to not leave anything inside .Outside the hotel was very old, inside a little better the only positive thing is the view of the city at the bar of the hotel .breakfast just enought

Dull noise. Class: two stars. The rooms are small and bathrooms have old pieces

L'hotel è in una comoda posizione,a 3 minuti dalla metro,ed ha una fantastica terrazza con vista sull'acropoli dove si può bere qualcosa o cenare...direi ottima!l'unico neo,in realtà abbastanza importante,è che appena arrivati ci hanno fatto subito pagare senza neanche farci vedere la stanza,dicendo che venere richiede subito il pagamento...peccato però che negli altri posti prenotati con venere questo non sia successo.immagino quindi sia una balla!!!chiedete di pagare il giorno dopo,o magari dopo aver visto la stanza e vediamo cosa rispondono a voi!

It's the most terrible hotel in my honeymoon journey.I disliked this hotel at all.The room is near to the street,and it got noise day and night,I even could not sleep all night long.The service is very bad,only the breakfast is just ok. It's too bad to spend my last night in Athens in this hotel.I really don't recommend this to others.

Very nice, helpful reception, clean rooms, everyday new towels, our room was quiet because we had no view to the Akropolis but into a courtyard - it did not matter at all, because were there just for sleeping.Metro just around the corner. Breakfast for Greek very good (cheese, ham, orange juice, white bread, eggs, tea and coffee, jam, cornflakes, greek joghurt...) - we did not expect anything like this in Athens. Very good price!

Die nächste Metro ist nur ein paar hundert Meter entfernt. Ideal für Ausflüge zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten. Vom Zimmer aus sieht man suf die Akropolis. Sehr Zentral gelegen. Wegen der Hauptverkehrsstrasse ist es allerdings ziemlich laut. Das Zimmer ist sauber, der Preis angemessen. Auf das Frühstück kann man verzichten und in der Stadt lieber einen Kaffee trinken. Es wird deutsch und englisch gesprochen. Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Very large rooms. not too much stuff in the bathroom. staff speaking also German and Italian

Well the atention was very nice but the Hotel surroundings were loudy and not very nice. especially if you are travel alone

No surprise, exactly what was described on the website. Hotel near center and superb view on the acropolis from the terrace where there is a little and quiet restaurant. The parking is very very little (max 1 to 2 cars no more). Employees very polite and helpful

Hotel muy ruidoso debido al tráfico rodado. Ubicado cerca muy cerca del metro y por tanto muy bién ubicado.

Hotel logisticamente perfetto!! a 200 m dalla fermata della metro e a ca 15 minuti dal porto del pireo. Nelle vicinanze ci sono 5 parcheggi a pagamento a prezzi irrisori. La notte c'è qualche brutta faccia in giro.... attenzione! per il resto l'ho trovato perfetto

Unico problema é costituito dal traffico incessante a tutte le ore e dallo scarso potere filtrante delle imposte.

Nice hotel near the Metro station. Only 20 min walk to Acropolis, but you need walking through China town. Fine view to Acropolis from roof restaurant.

No shampoo and soap changing in our room everyday, no restaurant inside the hotel, the hotel is near the metro but is very awful and dangerous around it. The breakfast was very poor. No spanish so was very difficult to communicate with us. And the italian woman who was on the reception in the morning was no very pleasant.

Worst 3 star venere ever stayed in - have reserved thru you for several trips

This was the poorest venere 3 star rated hotei we have ever stayed in - (it should be 2 star at best) Up until now, we have been consistently pleased with venere, having used you for quite a few hotles over 3 major trips. Maybe not again

Only a few steps away from the Metaxourigo metro station. Balcony with nice view but heavy street noise. Small but clean room with everything working including AC. Breakfast buffet ok. Price/quality relation seem ok.

The bonus was a small balcony which looked out over the city to the Acropolis, wonderful at night when it is floodlit. There is also a nice little roofgarden bar open in the evenings. The hotel is very conveniently situated close to the metro. Rooms basic but adequate.

Front desk at the hotel was pretty helpful. First night there my wife, kid, and I took a walk to see the area. We went through a not so travelled road and it was horrible. Make sure you stick to main roads. The subway was a great way to get around.

Great hotel for the price. Service was fantastic, staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Metro station right on the corner so easy to get around.

First time to stay at Hotel Apollo. This hotel is cleaner & better than I expect. Budget hotel to stay, with balcony and breakfast is ok. Some rooms have bath tub, some rooms have shower only. Close to subway station & Larissa train station, convenient to travel to different spots. Though not far from subway, the direction to hotel is not so clear in the area (street name is not clear, map is not so clear). The guy reception in the evening is not friendly. He works in his own way, instead of working for customer. The lady in the morning is much better. This did push me away to stay for another night, though the hotel quality is ok. I left the hotel early in the morning, the room can be noisy @ traffic time. We also have problem modifying our booking. One of us cancel the trip due to fire in Greece in the last minute. According to Venere.com, 'after the cancellation deadline it is also necessary to contact the property directly, since in this case only the property can accept changes free of charge'. However, the hotel man said we can only review the modification with venere. All other hotels have agreed to modify our booking, we don't understand why Hotel Apollo cannot.

It's good hotel but have 2 only problems: 1- the breakfast's room is very smool with little table and the elevetor is very small e slow. But the hotel it's ok

Frannie, the swiss woman who was in charge at the hotel, was extremely kind and friendly. we had put in requests for the kind of room we wanted, and she made sure that we got what we asked for. great deal for athens. very good value, nice hotel, and close to metro station.

The hotel was in a good location with a metro station close by. The hotel had a great roof top bar with a fastastic view to the Acropolis.

A good hotel to spend a couple of days if you are looking for a simple accomodation. Negative point: people surronding hotel during the night

The Hotel was a good value. Good location, nothing swank but a great value.

Hotel was cheap and friendly, and for its price, I can't really complain. The view from our balcony of the Parthenon was also very nice. They have a roof bar open at night with splendid food and nice service and drinks, so that is very good. Furthermore, the eccentric but friendly Swiss innkeeper Freni was a delight. However, to anyone who might consider spending more money, this hotel was in a particularly unpleasant part of town. Athens isn't really a city with many beautiful sections, but I would not recommend this area to anybody, especially the easily scared (I myself was never afraid, but there were enough unsavory characters hanging around that I could imagine how others could be). So, overall, nice hotel, great if you're on a tight budget, but a horrible part of town, so if all it takes are a few extra euros to move closer to Plaka, do so.

Very nice staff. Rooms adequate and clean.

I booked this hotel because of the "roof garden" with view of Acropolis. It was as beautiful as I could imagine and even better to sit in the evening and take a long drink listening to soft music from the small bar and just relax. If I return to this hotel I´ll check before I go so roofgarden and the bar is opened. The hotel was nice and clean and not so big. The supervisor was very kindly and we where very pleased. The air condition worked perfect and we had a quiet room although it´s situated among the street. It is also near to the metro.

Excellent value for money. Good service. We got a room on the sixth floor and the street-noise complaints that other users had made didnt at all apply. Overall a very satisfying hotel experience and we would gladly go to Apollo if going to Athens again.

Nice hotel, directly next to the underground, first of all: helpful and kind lady at the reception (thank you, Vreni!)

My friend and I stayed in Athens for just one night so we wanted a place that was located in teh heart of teh city. Also as we are you, we wamted a place that was well priced and comfortable. The was a woman at reception named Franny who was extremely helpful and made our short stay in Athens a lot easier, it was definitely a plus that she spoke so many languages and that she was so informative about the area and friendly. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others!

The staff was very helpful and courteous the moment we arrived. They were very prompt and got us to our room in the quickest amount of time. Our stay was enjoyable due to the close proximity to tourist sites. The room itself was what I expected, not large but not cramped-just right for our stay. It was clean and room service was great. Smoking in Europe is a drag though- no pun intended. There were a few things of concern. On site laundry would be appreciated. The street noise level is a annoying at night after a long day of walking but that is somewhat not the fault of the property. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay there again. Vfrini at the front desk was very helpful too.

I liked this hotel because it is well localized, close to the metro station and the price is exclent.

Everyone was very friendly and it was very close to a tube stop.

This is a very nice low cost hotel. Much better than expected. Very close to the metro which makes it easy to get to from the airport and all the major sites. It is walkable from the hotel to the major sites in about 20 min. Only negative is that the hotel is on a very busy street which has loud traffic and noise all night long.

Hotel was not at all as it was described on the Venere WebSite. False advertizing. Example. There is no parking despite the web site stating the Hotel has a garage. I have been in bathrooms larger than the main room and the beds could only be described as camp beds. Poor access to the internet and limited TV channels. I would have got more sleep lying down on the sidewalk next to the road. It sounded like the cars were coming through the room.

Very good quality/price ratio. Walking distance to Plaka and other interesting places. Excellent personel. Helpful, kind and professional. Rooms just a little bit noisy because of traffic.

The rooms are very small. but for the price that we paid was good.

Excellent view of the Acropolis from our room. Close to metro, train, supermarket, laundromat and kiosks. Internet available in lobby (with charge). Very friendly and helpful staff - Dimitrios was wonderful, with plently of tips and advice.

Nice rooms but a bit of a crummy neighbourhood.

Demetri and co-management we very effcient and friendly. Location was excellent and we really liked the fact that bus trips we arranged at the hotel. We hope to be able to come again. Thank You.

This was a great location, but it was a bit more of an industrial area then a tourist area, which made it kinda noisy. The metro stop was very close to many choice locations however, there isn't much dinning in the area. It is an easy walk to Syntagma square - the middle of everything!! The staff were very nice and a great value for the price we paid. They were recently opened and didn't have all of their amenities ready yet. Looks like this place would get a return visit from us...we will visit you in the islands too!!

Very loud room. All rooms face a large street and you can't really sleep. Would not stay again and warm members that this is a very, very noisey hotel. Great location. There very nice hotels very near by cheaper and in a quiet neighborhood. Staff were very helpful.

We were 5 persons, it was very very agreable!! Good position, bus stop near the Hotel...great!
