"Overpriced Without Regard to Complimentary WiFi"

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!

Nice Hotel, Bad Neighborhood

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.

Excellent Hotel, Scruffy Location

Title says it all.

Great hotel, so-so location

I had never stayed at a Novotel before. The decor was contemporary and the furnishings were sleek. The hotel was very clean. It's the first time in a long time that I've been in a hotel with windows that open, and it was great to experience the fresh air at the end of the day. The staff was well informed and helpful. All the hotel employees I encountered spoke excellent English. The hotel was within walking distance (several blocks) of the subway station and, although I never felt unsafe, the area around the hotel was not very inspiring.

Goo hotel in a bad neighborhood

If you want to be more close to the main Athes atractions, dont stay in thi hotel. The rooms are nice,and the staff too; but when you come tired at night you dont want to walk 10 to 15 minutes to the hotel. Also, the roof restaurant was closed die to "inconvenient weather".

We loved this hotel!

Novotel Athenes was a GREAT place to stay!The room was comfortable and clean and the bathroom was really nice. We were impressed that it was so modern..even had a flat screen t.v. The gym was also a plus. The breakfast was quite good. The only negative was that it wasn't located right by the Plaka area, but it gave us a chance to walk there and see how the locals live...not just the tourists!

Average at best

The rooms were small, even for European standards. The air conditioner when turned all the way down kept you reasonable comfortable. However if it had been in the summer I doubtif it would have been adequate. The hotel was some distance from the tourist spots but it was only a 5-10 minute walk to the Metro. All in all, it is not a bad place if you are only looking for a place to sleep for a night or two. However, to call it a 4 star is a real stretch.

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.

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.

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.
