Apollo Hotel

Crappy Hotel

The hotel is really crappy. It has poor amenities. The towels look like they have not been changed for the past 30 years. The only redeeming feature is that it is close to the metro station. Three star rating is too high. I'll give it no more than 1 star. It is just a cheap hotel. Period.

Needs improvement

Pros: Great location (metro station is just around the corner), helpful staff, luggage storage Cons: Incredibly small bathroom, room is not clean or comfortable In my opinion this is a 2 star hotel - good for single guys if you want to just leave your bags and tour the city

Sketchy men hanging around yelling comments nightly

It's not that the room was so bad, the bathroom was small the shower was almost non existent, but the noise level was unbearable. We had to go out and purchase earplugs to finish up our stay. The staff was courteous and helpful and I felt safe once I was inside but the ogling crowds of men and clusters of nightly comments became intolerable.

Guest did not leave a comment.

Unpleasant neighborhood

We stayed at the hotel on 2 different occasions in the same week. The first room did have a small balcony with a view of the Acropolis, but unfortunately it also had a view of the surrounding neighborhood which was unpleasant. The staff was helpful and friendly. The room was basic but clean.

Next to construction site for new Apollo Hotel

This hotel is very shabby. They are building another one next door which means that it is a really loud construction site. Beds are small and hard. Showers are hand held and hard to manipulate. Bring an adapter for electricity. Good things: Free breakfast from 7 to 9:30 a.m. including eggs, cereal, juice, danish, toast, coffee, cheese, sliced lunch meat. Another good thing is day supervisor who is from Switzerland and speaks 6 language and understands three more. She is controlling and brusque but knows her stuff and is very helpful as is all the staff. Close to Metro!

A place to sleep....somewhat uncomfortably

This hotel met the requirements for sleeping about a 20 minute walk to the sites of athens. The neighborhood is a little rough and there's no good restaurants around, but you're close to the metro and all the other tourist stuff. The beds were not very comfortable and traffic noise is pretty loud, but otherwise the room was fine. If you just need a relatively good place to crash while visiting athens, i would recommend this place...if you're looking for a high quality quiet hotel, you'll need to go for a higher cost place.
