Soho Hotel - Athens

The location was pretty good and the 24 hour reception (with tea!) was a plus! Each floor was painted a different color so that was fun. There is an elevator and balconies on the rooms! The rooms were a nice size as well. All in all, for the money, it was a great stay. Don't be deterred by the location. When you get there it might look a little sketchy […] (especially if it's dark). I had read this before and agreed, but it really is completely safe (and I am the most nervous traveler!!!) Read more

A little nervous by some of the previous reviews, but we stayed here from May 11 to 17, and then on the 24th of May after a trip to Crete. I think some reviewers have mixed up seedy with ethnic in a part of town that is undergoing some restoration. Much of Athens is actually very, very old, with a large population, and it is a dirty city. With this […] in mind, we had a wonderful stay in the Soho hotel. The staff was great and very accommodating. The lobby area with its games, free bikes to use, free laptop, and free wi-fi there and in the rooms....for the price? GREAT! Remember, this is a typical European hotel....though a decent sized space for one. It's basic, but does offer refrigerators....which is a super plus! The elevator was being worked on one day, so we were allowed to use the staff elevator. No need to complain...just talk to the staff and they'll do all they can to help. We needed to call and confirm with our resort on Crete. We asked the front desk how to go about doing that, when she just dialed the number for us and didn't charge us the obvious long distance. When we came back after a week for our last night in Athens, it was as though we were coming to see relatives. A warm reception and asking about our trip, etc. So helpful and kind! The mobile police unit that is outside during the day? big deal! they are scattered ALL OVER the city, as we came to see. You can't be safer than that! Our group was my husband, myself with our two young teens. Kids loved it! Read more

Elevator doesn't work often and we were on the 7th floor. Room was musty and had a urine smell. Area is a little shady but the sidewalk outside the hotel seems to be a congregating spot for police officers which actually makes you feel safe. Lots of cheap eating spots around. Staff are helpful, laptops in the reception area with free internet access […] are a bonus. Read more

Pretty good location - 10 min walk to Acropolis. Hotel is good value for money: free coffee/tea all the time, free wifi. The lounge/reception is very modern/new, while the rooms are less modern. Everything was fairly clean.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel itself is nice it's just located in a ghetto of the city. If you're afraid of foreigners, don't stay here. But, it's a 10 minute walk to Monastiraki. I would stay again.

the room was dirty, staff unhelpful, in a undesirable area in Athens. No parking except a car park at 10e per day. When we complained to the manager re the dirty bath he was uninterested, he cleaned it but left the hair in plug hole, it advertised deep bath, yes deep but no plug to use it. Near to acropolis so only plus point.

dirty, unhelpful staff and un safe area

A really great little budget hotel with incredibly helpful staff, a comfy communal sitting room with free internet and free tea and coffee, a room with a fridge, and an en-suite with separate toilet and shower. We had a super stay :)

This hotel is more like a hostel, which is situated in the most dangerous area of the entire Athens. The neighbourhood, Omonia, is so full of immigrants, dealers and other seedy figures! Although the hotel staffs are kind enough, I would not recommend this place, especially to female travellers!!! On our way to the hotel, while my friend was asking […] for direction to a nice couple, I noticed that some junkies were lurking around us. The junkies on the street were also making extremely nasty noises to us, which was really scary. What's more, the AC in our room does not work and the door cannot be locked from inside! If you want to have a good time in Athens, I strongly advice you to avoid this area! Read more

This hotel has low rates and is good value. The wifi and the TV worked, the bathroom was ok, the hot water was hot, and the fridge was cold. The elevator was under repair for several hours over a couple of days but I was able to use the service elevator. I really liked the central location. I was able to walk to the main attractions of Athens and I […] enjoyed shopping at the nearby municipal market in Athinas Street. My criticisms are that there were no facilities for making a cup of tea or coffee in the room, and the street and surrounding area is rough. There is a strong police presence in the street which I found reassuring. Read more

I stayed there for a week in April 2012. I booked through two different online agencies, so this review may be repeated if you check different sites. We arrived at 4am. Reception was manned by a charming man, tea and coffee was available, and booking in was efficiently and courteously handled. We were given a room facing the street on the 6th floor. […] It was clean and big enough for the two of us. Air conditioning was quiet, the bathroom had a shower and a bath, the TV received BBC 24 news, and there was a big balcony with a table and chairs. There were two laptops in the reception area. We’d been warned on Tripadvisor that the rooms facing the street were noisy. I didn’t find that, and I hate disturbances at night. It’s on a quiet side street, with the police ‘station’ (actually a table set on the pavement next to the hotel) right outside our door. So we felt safe as houses there. Omonia has a reputation for being a red light area, we saw nothing like that, only illegal immigrants being arrested and taken off in a Police Van. Breakfast cost €4, and set us up for the day. The staff were marvellous. My friend likes her tea ‘English’ style, and after two requests, they were boiling a kettle for her to make her tea. The coffee was filtered, none of that instant muck. I can recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a cheap hotel in Athens. I’m looking for a gripe – the only one could be that the room wasn’t cleaned every day. But who needs that anyway? Read more

Staff very kind, adeguate and economic hotel for a weekend, in a very bad location in Athen.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is located in a poor and unfriendly area positioned next to a burnt out building, there was a police bus and up to ten officers stationed seemingly permanently outside all day, which on the plus side made the walk out more reassuringly safe. Certainly the police were there for every one of the six days of my stay, keeping watch on the dozens […] and dozens of young men loitering around on the street. The hotel itself is run by very friendly staff who all spoke English. I can't fault them for their courtesy and helpfulness. Free Wifi, coffee, board games and the use of a hotel bicycle is provided but nothing further by way of refreshments or facilities are available. My double room was extremely basic and verging on the disgustingly unhygienic. It stuck me during my stay that the place could be transformed with new carpets, a good clean and repainting but as it stands it's not a comfortable stay unless you have a good tolerance of dirt and bad smells. I certainly wouldn't recommend this hotel for those with children or couples looking for a romantic place in Athens to stay. This place is I think only for single travellers on a tight budget or students looking for a central place to stay. So on the plus side the staff were great but on the negative the building interior and the area of Athens leaves much to be desired. When I return to the city it won't be to stay in this hotel, I'll pay that bit extra for somewhere better. Read more

the hotel itself was quite good, clean and up to date. although the area which the hotel was in was very scary. We arrived on a saturday night to find that the hotel was situated in the middle of what seemed to be a red light district with prostitutes and other seedy characters surrounding the hotel.

très bon hotel avec une qulaité prix très intéressante. je le recommande pour sa situation proche du centre son accueil et sa simplicité

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hôtel facilement localisable, grâce aux drapeaux sur les balcons. Personnels soucieux du confort et présent à la moindre sollicitation. Niveau sonore acceptable. Toutefois, la présence policière interroge sur le niveau de sécurité du quartier, même si le sentiment d'insécurité n'est pas présent.

chambre : 30 m2 pour 4 un peu bruillant mais on est quand même dans une grande ville !!! bon confort des lits. pas de PDJ proposé mais salle où l'on peux avoir thé et café a volonté et descendre acheter dans la rue de quoi se restaurer. réception très bonne avec des employés très arrangeants (on peut poser ses bagages avant l'heure, on a pu garder la […] chambre tard dans l'après midi pour la sieste des filles sans suppléments) et de très bon conseil. le quartier est populaire (communauté indiennes et chinoises) mais pas de problème au contraire des gens très sympa (frites et glaces offertes a nos enfants). la police a une table sur le trottoir a l'entrée de l'hotel où ils prennent le thé. porche station métro et du centre a pied. a conseiller a tous ceux qui aime la convivialité et la simplicité.

L'hotel est très bien situé par rapport au centre historique et touristique. BIen que le quartier puisse sembler peu rassurant, la police est très présente et nous n'avons pas eu le moindre problème. Le personnel de l’hôtel est très sympathique et prodigue de nombreux conseils concernant les choses à avoir et à visiter. L'ambiance ressemble à celle […] d'une auberge de jeunesse. Malgré tout nous l'hôtel est très calme. La climatisation dans les chambres ainsi que le frigo sont très appréciables. Globalement très bon rapport qualité-prix. A déconseiller cependant aux femmes voyageant seules ou aux familles avec enfants. Read more

Service was good, the room clean and in general good value for your money. The neighborhood is a bit dodgy during day time, but empty at night.

L'accueil de l'hotel est très bien, le receptioniste parle français et n'hésite pas à vous renseigner si besoin sur les choses a faire. le menage n'est fait que ts les deux jours mais les serviettes sont propres. la moquette est un peu usagée et tachée. La rue est un peu "glauque" aux premiers abords mais finallement rien de bien méchant, et surtout […] l'hotel est situé à 5 minutes à pied des sites touristiques. clim, minuscule télé, balcon et thé, café wifi gratuits. Je recommande pour les ptits budgets, c'est le top. Read more

Lo staff dell'hotel è sempre disponibilissimo 24 ore su 24, sono stati indispensabili per arrivare nei luoghi d'interesse. La locazione è abbastanza vicina alle piazze principali del centro, per cui resta molto facile e veloce raggiungere la metropolitana ed i musei principali.

Excellent rapport qualite-prix en decembre 2012. Accueil anglophone, non francophone, mais chaleureux, intelligent, efficace, simple, avec cafe et the gratuits, et computer internet de meme. Situation en plein centre d'Athenes, quartier du marche, bruyant et populaire.
