Mansion Hotel

Great for the price, the front desk clerks spoke English. I think my only beef was the bathroom. It was so tiny, you couldn't open the door fully. The shower didn't have a showerhead so you had to hold the hose in one hand and wash with the other hand. The taxi driver did say the neighborhood wasn't the best. There is grafitti everywhere in the city so hard to tell what parts are good and bad.

The hotel itself is fine, but the surrounding district is a bit dodgy after dark.

It's located in a very shady street. It's does not feel safe walking towards there after it gets dark. Would not stay here ever again.

The staff were nice and the hotel is close enough to major areas that you can walk. The biggest downside is the room. The bed was not comfortable at all (you can feel the springs poking your body). Additionally, the cleanliness of the bedding was really lacking as I found someone else's hair and stains on the sheets multiple nights. Lastly, you can't control the heat in the room, so frequently the room was excessively hot.

The hotel was ok for a budget stay with less than 200m from the metro station and around 1km from the heart of the city. But the neighborhood of the hotel is not no nice and people might find it unsafe while going there at night, although I arrived in the hotel late almost everyday but didn't had any issue.

good, but the area was suspect

I cannot find any single good point about this hotel. I booked for 3 nights and just stayed one night even if we had to spend more money for an urgent booking. Firstly, the hotel is located just next to the prostitution building. The girl inside suddenly shouted and laughed in front of us so we got shocked. Also, it's dark at night and some strangers loitering around the building. If you're a woman never ever go! In terms of rooms, it smells smoky and bath is very narrow. They have a balcony but you may not use it because some weird outside will stare at you. The staff also didn't clean our room even we requested when we went out because it's over their cleaning time. Lastly, the hotel staff is very rude and they lied to me twice. Firstly, we requested a twin room, but first night, we had to stay in a double room. That's understandable even if they didn't reply to my request on chat. Secondly, the staff promised to provide me with a twin room the next day, but the next day the other staff said there's no twin room so we had to stay in the double room for the rest of our stay. I asked them why did the guy yesterday promise it even if you're not going to give us a twin room, then he said it's not a hotel's obligation so just take it. That's why we left on the second day. I sware that there's no lie on what I mentioned about this hotel and hope this will the first and list bad review in my life.

Toilet was very close to the wall so your knees touched it, shower head is placed at hip hieghth, bed not even a twin size

The hotel itself was fine. Clean, nice staff, mini fridge in room which is needed for cold drinks after a hot day in Athens. Bed wasn’t particularly comfortable, but in budget hotels they rarely are. My only complaint about this place was the location. Yes, it’s definitely close to the Omonoia Square which is great for hopping on a train or taking a hop-on-hop-off tour, but I did not feel safe walking the two blocks from the Square to the hotel past nightfall. And I’m not even talking late into the night, just as soon as the sun set. Perhaps I’m being picky, but even the cab driver who brought me in from the airport had advised me on arrival “don’t go walking around here by yourself at night.” If you’re a solo female traveler, maybe not the best spot. If you’re traveling in a couple or as a group, I’m sure it’s fine.
