Aristoteles Hotel - Athens

Das Frühstück war leider grausam, und der Komfort ließ es etwas zu wünschen über. Dies war allerdings angesichts des günstigen Preises zu verschmerzen.

einiziges Plus relativ Zentral und relativ Preiswert, dafür stimmen aber leider alle negativen Bewertungen unserer Vorgänger.

Hotel was simple and basic but room was clean, with air conditioning, and inexpensive -- located very centrally in Athens, by Ommonia Station. Staff were friendly., bathroom was clean. Everything went as expected. We had read reviews that the neighborhood (specifically Ommonia station) might not be safe -- it's true it's a little shady at night, but […] it didn't feel unsafe. Basically there would be porn dvd sellers at night, but nobody approaching us or trying funny things on us. There may be the occasional drug addict, but again, this is an issue with Ommonia Station, which is pretty centrally located, lots of hotels are located by it. There are lots of people out at night, so it is safe in that you're not walking down some dark alley by yourself -- lots of people roaming the streets at night, it was fine. The breakfast in the hotel was pretty bad (some stale cheese on bread, something that was supposedly bacon, and an egg -- all rationed by the staff; no orange juice, just some sugary orange-colored mix). But for the price it was really great -- you save so much money on the hotel you can eat out all you want. There are cafes and bakeries right there. You can take the metro just one or two stops and you're by the main attractions in Athens. Great value. Mehr

Athen-Reisende müssen wissen, dass die Lage rund um Omonia nicht gerade die beste in Athen ist. Wer sich nicht stört, auch mal an einem Dealer oder einer aus dem horizontalen Gewerbe vorbei zu gehen kann es aber durchaus wagen. Als gefährlich habe ich es auch mitten in der Nacht nicht empfunden. Das Hotel selber bietet für den Preis den ich bezahlt […] habe viel. Die Zimmer sind sauber, man hat Wlan in den Zimmern, Bad wurde wohl vor wenigen Jahren neu gemacht. Die Räume oder die Zimmertüren sind etwas ringhörig, und das Frühstück ist einfach. Alles in allem ein gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Mehr

Traveling to Athens means to cope with the possible situation of strikes. We arrived on Saturday morning by plane and went to the hotel by express bus taking afterwards the metro to the Omonia place nearby the hotel. We were very surprised that we were able to check-in at once without long time of waiting as we were there too early. The receptionist […] was very friendly and we felt comfortable with our hotel choice. The room had a balkony to the front of the house facing the street. Bathroom with toilet and our bedroom were very clean. The television set is very very small and hanging at the wall near the ceiling. But what for do you need a television set for a weekend trip? In night time there is more traffic on the street than in day time. If you want to sleep with open window you will need earplugs. Of course you can keep the windows closed as the aircon is working fine and not too noisy. The breakfast is simple but sufficient. Coffee, juice, milk and corn flakes as much as you like. Egg, sausage and cheese cannot be chosen - this will be brought to your table. Soon we recognized that this hotel is also preferred by school classes. During our extended weekend there was one class from Germany and another one from France. All in all we were very content with this hotel and recommend it to budget travellers with normal demand.

Friendly staff. Situation guite OK, we did not have any problems about the neigbourhood and we have been there now three times.

We were greeted by the friendliest owner i have ever met, who showed us everything there was to see in Athens. The hotel was clean and lovely with a great breakfast included. The wifi worked on each of the floors. I highly recommend this hotel.

it is a perfect place to stay. I had a wanderfull time there.

The Hotel itself is fine for the price. You get what you pay for. The staff of the hotel was extremely friendly and helpful and the rooms are very clean. My television did not work and no one cared to fix it. That was not really a problem because I spend very little time in my room while in Athens. Unfortunately the surrounding neighborhood streets […] are filthy and inhabited by drug users, pushers, pimps, prostitutes and their johns. Many of the prostitutes were from Africa, prusumably. As a Black woman from America, I felt uncomfortable walking to and from the hotel and train station even in broad daylight for fear of being mistaken for one of the prostitutes. This fear was not unfounded as I was propositioned several times. If you are a woman travelling alone, the location is uncomfortable and unsafe. I have been to Athens several time and lived there for a number of years before this trip. I was really shocked at how bad things were and would not recommend this hotel for the reasons listed above.

Booked with Aristoles as price was very cheap for in middle of Athens. Room was very small with three single beds squeezed in for the three of us but it was clean and tidy. Interesting mixture of guests from students to retirees. Area around hotel quite down to earth but well within walking range of city sights. Overall pleasantly surprised with what […] we got for the price. Mehr

Its a very good value for money. Its not very far from a metro station but not close either. The neighborhood though is shady. The rooms are clean but noisy, you can hear conversations from adjacent rooms as well. The major fault of this hotel for us is that they are not true to their words. I had written to them asking for double bed room on top […] floor with a fridge and we had been told that we could get one but all we got was a double bed room not on the top floor and without a fridge. When I inquired about the fridge I was told that they would try to get one but we didn't get one for the 4 nights we stayed there. We had also requested for early check-in and had been told that we could check in early if a room was available but when we got there at 06:00 there was no room and the guy at the reception told us that we might get one by 08:00 so we decided to wait. But then an old guy showed up and was very very rude. He simply doesn't know how to treat his guests. So we decided to come back later. And every time that guy was at the reception he was irritating. Although its cheap, next time we will rather spend more or stay a bit far from the center than stay in this hotel. Mehr

We saw more than one person shooting heroin theirselves near the hotel.

Cheap hotel, conveniently located (walking distance to metro stations) on a not so good neighborhood. Very friendly staff. My only complaint is that rooms are not noise isolated so you can hear when people are talking or walking on the hall. I recommend it only for a single person in a quick trip to Athens.

this hotel is is a high crime location. I was robbed of most of my money on the metro close to the hotel. I hated this vacation!!!!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is about a 10 minute walk from the metro station. The neighborhood is kind of icky but once you know your way from the metro to the hotel, it's not so bad to just speed through it. Just be aware of your surrounding and keep your guard up. We saw a kid get his bag stolen when his school group was getting […] off their bus at another hotel (a nice looking one too) but he wasn't paying attention to his things. Also we never walked around in the dark so I couldn't talk about the safety then. Our rooms were surprisingly nice with a flat screen tv, a small balcony and a recently renovated bathroom. Breakfast was also a pleasant surprise. It was very European (bread, jam, butter, cereal, mild, a boiled egg and slices of ham and cheese, fruit or yogurt,coffee, tea, and juice.) Also the free internet is a huge plus. I think for the price this hotel is an excellent value. A quick side note: the women there are the hardest working people I have ever seen. If it wasn't for the 4 of them the hotel would be in shambles. Mehr

I booked my stay at Aristoteles Hotel as it was a relatively inexpensive option, and pretty close to an area a travel book I possessed recommended. The hotel itself was relatively easy to find, about a ten minute walk from the nearest metro station. There are quite a few restaurants and shops around the area should you need to buy anything. Location-wise […] it is handy for visiting the National Archeology Museum and with Omonia (Metro Station) nearby, should you require transport it is readily available. The rooms are of a decent size with a bathroom (shower, sink), good sized bed and a television. Wi-Fi is also available on request. I would highly recommend a stay at this hotel if you're on a budget and want to reside away from the centre of Athens. Mehr

The hotel is good price quality. I stayed there for 2 nights, breakfast is not big deal but not too bad either. The room was nice, had 2 single beds, it was pretty clean, the only thing I didn't like was the smell, other than that it was pretty good for the price I payed.

Very good value for money hotel. Staff very helpful and friendly. Would definately stay at this hotel again and would recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable clean hotel

The staff here were friendly and accommodating - we arrived at 6am and were allowed to check into our room at that time for an extra €10 which we felt was reasonable. More importantly we were offered a very welcome coffee while we waited for them to get the room ready. The room was quite basic but the hotel is convenient for the omonia metro and whilst […] the area wasn't glamourous we felt safe enough walking around at night. Breakfast included in the rate made it an extremely good value choice and I would recommend it to anyone travelling on a budget. Mehr

I stayed 4 nights at the hotel and was very happy with my time there. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The location is convenient to Omonia Square and transport.

this hotel is great for travelers with a small or medium budget , cause of the low price we payed we were worried there must be something wrong with this hotel , but to our surprise , it wasn't the case .our stay was very comfortable , the staff is very nice and friendly , very warm , you just feel at home . the room was not luxurious but clean , and […] had all kind of facilities , TV , hot water , clean sheets , ac , high speed internet . we couldn't ask for more . the location also to or surprise was very convenient , 10 minutes walking from archeological museum , about 25 minutes to the acropolis and center of town , it is not a luxurious neighborhood but in the heart of athenes , you get to know the multicultural society of the town , for us it was a very rich experience , better than staying in a fancy hotel where you dont get to know the real people of the town . if yo are looking for a good hotel with good facilities but with small price , . i ll definitely come back next time i travel to athenes Mehr

For the money this was a great deal for a no frills hotel. The room was clean. The staff was friendly. The front desk even paid the postage and mailed my postcards. The hotel was in a great location. Easy walking distance to Metro and the major sites.

The area was not too nice, there were a few problems around Omonia (where the closest metro station is, about 5 blocks) such as prostitutes and drug dealers, but the area immediately around the Hotel is alright, as a lone traveler I was back before dark. The hotel itself was excellent for the price, with free wi-fi, comfortable bed with sheet changes […] every day, balcony, free breakfast (egg, cereal, toast, coffee, juice) and a nice bar that is fairly cheap. The shower had plenty of water pressure and hot water, and I had no problems with space in the room or the bathroom, but I was by myself and the bed could have fit two people. Nevertheless I think it's fine for a single traveler who doesn't want to stay at a hostel, and not bad for a couple for the price. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a traveler on a budget. I do hope next time I'm able to spend more and be a nicer area, but the Hotel Aristoteles is not bad at all for the price. Mehr

Great value hotel close enough to train station but do not go on foot with heavy suitcase. The Athens pavement will eventually destroy your case. Catch a taxi for 5 euro to from the local stations with your case train easy enough to catch from airport however consider a taxi ride is about 35 euro The wifi was reliable quick and trouble free

The quality of my single room was excellent. It was slightly noisy because of the nearby stairwell and dorm rooms, but for the price and the quality of the room I didnt mind too much. The location wasnt spectacular but its only about a 15 minute walk to the Acropolis. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to those on a budget.

this place is great for anyone with a low budjet, just wants a bed and a spot of breakfast before they explore the city. its basic but clean. staff really nice and the guy desk taught us some greek! the area looks worse than it is. (a bit like most uk town/city centres). a major protest took place during our stay and we had no trouble at all . not […] really for familys anyone else i'd recommend Mehr

Don't pay more than 5Euros taxi from anywhere in Athens city to the hotel. Noisy rooms but to be expected from marble stairs & lobby; and central shaft shared by all bathrooms. 2 free internet access points. Simple breakfast but good for price - gets very busy particularly near the end. Very firm beds! 10mins walk to Omnia metro, and very central; area […] not ideal late at night, as a bit "red light" although staying on main road (3rd Sept) was fine. Mehr

It's a 2 star hotel and it was everything I expected, if anything a little bit more. Very basic, but clean and tidy.

The area is not good for families but for a young couple it didn't matter too much. The location in the centre is convinient with the tube only 10 minutes walk away. The hotel was very noisy so it's impossible to have a lie-in. The one computer with internet was constantly in use and the lift is very small (cannot fit 2 people + suitcases).

This hotel is great for the price. It's in Omonia which is the downtown of Athens. Like any big city just be smart when you walk around as the Greeks told me there's petty crime like pick pockets etc. Just be smart like in any city and you'll be fine. There's a few cafe's next to and across the street which were very friendly. The Hotel service is great […] and the woman who do the breakfast were great and it was a good breakfast. I travel all over the world and would stay in this hotel again if need be. The reception people were great and Steve the evening bartender was great as he gave me ice when I needed it. Thanks Mehr

Hotel was pretty average for a cheap hotel in Greece. It was, however, extremely cheap. I think I got it for 50% off of the back of the listed price through Hotels.com. The only downsides are the internet only works in the lobby even though they appear to have it set up all over, the tv reception sucks, and the location was pretty far away from anything […] I wanted to see and it's pretty far from a metro station. Mehr

The hotel owner is unbelievably rad. Not only will he go out of his way to provide you with information but he'll also probably tell you some Greek history or local myths. Memorable entertainment for sure. The room was quite large, had its own balcony, AC, a nice large shower (very rare for Greece). Breakfast was standard but generous. People often […] complain about the Omonia Square location, but it's perfect for proximity to subway and attractions. As long as you're smart about it the neighborhood won't be an issue. Mehr

The management of this hotel was very kind and helpful. The hotel was also only a few blocks from the Metro Station which made it convenient for getting around Athens. The room was not fancy, but the quality was expected based on the price we paid. The neighborhood seemed a little unsafe at night, so we avoided being out late and everything was fin […] e. Mehr

was a great place, probably a bit steep price wise. unfortunately it is not a family friendly area..

I thought the hotel's decor was great, its not what i expected and took me by surprise. I enjoyed my stay and the receptions desk employees were great. They were very helpful, friendly and nice. The room had a balcony and the view was relaxing. The view of the main street was soothing to my traveling and enjoyable to see the everyday life go by.

Stayed here in May, easy walking distance to everything and provided a very good base for exploring the city. Room clean and comfortable with aircon. Friendly, helpful guys running it. Good value and recommended if you want somewhere decent and central in Athens. I would go back.

The hotel was reasonably central to Omonia Square, although we felt we were walking thru the 'red light' district to reach the Metro. The amount of graffiti on the buildings was depressing. The coffee shops ripped us off because we sat outside and charged us double for the pleasure. The hotel was dirty, the room we booked online was a double and we […] got a back room with two small single beds. The towels had seen better days, the lifts would only take the luggage and we ran up the stairs. We left at early and a packed breakfast was offered which consisted of two boiled eggs, two very dry bread wedges with stale cheese and slimey ham. Not impressed with Athens this time round, it has seen better days and the restaurant prices in the Plaka were high for the quality of food. Fortunately our final destination was the island of Skopelos and this made up for Athens. We won't stop there again in a hurry. Mehr
