Soho Hotel

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

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.

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.

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 to check emails. 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. 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

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.

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

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.
