Novotel Athenes

Nice hotel for the money

We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Novotel. The room was spacious, the staff was friendly, and overall we had great experience, especially for the price. One down side is the location. It is not near many restaurants or the places visitors like to go (the Plaka, museums, parks, etc.). The neighborhood is older, although not at all unsafe. The walk to the underground took about 15 minutes--not bad in good weather. We were disappointed that the pool was not open when we arrived (early October).

Great room for the money.

Very nice hotel. Nice modern design along with very clean spaces, helpful and cordial staff. It is helpful to book a room that has breakfast included. It is close to the Metro which is a wonderful way of transportation. The main downside to this hotel is its location, not a restaurant around that has English menus and so forth. Not really a good area to go out for a walk at night.

Great hotel

Very comfortable room w/ friendly service. Only complaint was that the reception could not recommend a good restaurant.

Good hotel choice

The staff was extremely helpful with directions and helping us with bag storage. I would definitely recommend the hotel, especially for short stays.

Novotel

Approx 10 min walk from train and Metro station, which is not good access. However, very beautifully renovated and very confortable! Hotel Staff were very kind !

Great room for the money if only the AC worked!

The hotel was definitely decent ... it was clean and the decor was nice. The bathroom shower was excellent and you will have flat screen TV and internet access in your room. However,the AC was blowing air slower than a fan. You will have to leave the AC on at all times in order to keep the room comfortable never mind cool. The people were cordial but far from friendly if you are American. The hotel is far from the Plaka district so you will need to take a taxi to get there. Do your homework before making a decision.

Family Vacation

Close to Tram. Newly renovated, great pool and bar. Room was good size especially for Greece. Very convenient and easy. Staff was very helpfull

Good hotel..

Generally speaking, the hotel is good and is further being improved, you can see works in progress in some areas. It is conveniently located 10 minutes-walk away from a metro station that takes you to the mayor city attractions in minutes. However, the neighboroud where the hotel is located is not pretty at all, but I undersantand that Athens is like that. Menus in both restaurants are just OK, not much variety but the food is good. Rooms are OK and spacious enough for a family of four (2 adults + 2 small kids)wich is not common in Europe, you will not have an unpleasant suprise but you will not be amazed either.

Construction

The street outside the hotel was under construction as was the lobby so navigating was a little difficult. The registration lobby moved between the day I checked in and the day I checked out. I do think once the construction is completed, the hotel will be most pleasant. The room was recently refurbished and had a wonderful shower to wash off exploration dust. There were no computers for use in the lobby as expected, though they did offer their business computer for checking email.

Great Hotel, warning.. it is under construction

This hotel had very nice rooms and the bed was extrememly comfortable. I was very disappointed to be there when there was contruction going on and I could hear everything in our room. When we checked in our original room had a broken airconditioner. Tey did send up maintenance immediately (Nice and friendly as well). The otel was not able to repair so they gave us another room. They did not offer assistance to move us and it was difficult to do so. (the elevators are very small). The otel was a little over priced and did not have a complimentary breakfast.
