Elikon Hotel

good for solo budget traveller, room is spaciou with tv (only one star english channel n bbc news), kettle, fridge, shampoo soap. towel change every day. bed is too soft. air cond heater not function. water heater is unstable. room is clean n service is good, staff allow me to check in early but it is facing street, very noisy. the door and balcony is not soubdproof. this area is very complicated. restaurant and supermarket just nearby.

A stressful start to my stay at Elikon Hotel. I had booked 8 nights and after paying for the room, I sent the hotel an email (in Greek) requesting the room I had stayed in the year before. I received a reply saying that everything was in order and that I could have the room I had requested. When I arrived, the middle-aged female "manager" refused to give me the room the hotel had promised, saying that there is no way the hotel would have promised me that room. I printed out the email I had received from the hotel, and showed her, but she still insisted that the hotel does not reserve rooms for guests - guests are always allocated a room on arrival. I said to her that was fair enough, but the email should have stated that, and should not have promised me the room I had requested. She got quite aggressive at the stage and told me that if I wasn't happy with the situation I could leave and find another hotel. I told her that I would gladly leave if she refunded my money in full. She refused so I stayed. Apart from that episode, my stay there was good. George and Ari, two young employees at reception, are great! Their command of English is very good and they are very accommodating. The house-keeping staff are lovely - very friendly and extremely accommodating. Hotel is only a minute away from the Metro. Area is quite seedy and potentially dangerous at night. Tip: the female manager should be assigned to the back office where she'd have no direct contact with the general public.

Stayed 1 night. Grat location. Room was very clean and comfotable and wifi is good. Great location

Great area , just 1 block away from metro and 28 min walk to the acropolis Great place to come from airport and to go to the port to go to the islands

Clean and comfortable! Small but basic room. Beds were clean, comfortable and air conditioner worked great! Staff was friendly. Location is convenient- right next to Omonia metro station so easy to get to acropolis, airport and Piraeus by metro.
