Sminos Holidays

Not any restaurants around but only 1.3 miles to center of Athens and you can use Uber…

This is a very unique property right in the middle of everything! It appears as a front door entrance at street level but has a variety of rooms in the building. We enjoyed a 2 single bed with a small balcony so you can see the action on the street. Our room was compact but efficient. Nice bathroom with shower. Limited space for suitcases but as I said "compact". Thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary wine on our little balcony. Heat pump air conditioner, TV although we did not have time to watch. Our favorite, the fabulous breakfast!! Hot menu options as well as quick breakfast options available. Stairs at the front door are no issue, there is a luggage dory available and a small elevator for the rooms. The location of this hotel is the key!! It is right in the middle of everywhere! Easy walk to everything you want to see, lots of restaurants nearby. Would return here again no problem!!

Staff was excellent, had an exceptionally nice room, food on the roof top was 7/10 but this was strictly based off their cheese board which was blocks of cheese would be better sliced and with more dips. The Meat board was a 10/10, cocktails were amazing and service was very good. The breakfast was 10/10 had every option and service was great. No complaints. AC was locked off to be in heating 21° only at time of visiting (December) however coming from a cold climate it can feel very warm so had to leave door open a little. Could be down to the system set up so might be restricted because of this. Area is accessible from Omonia and Monestreaki including other lines to station "Ano Patissa" which is a 2/3 min walk. Area is okay similar to London outskirts but definitely watch personal belongings around Athens as it is rough. Gifts on exit was a lovely touch, left there with high spirits, Hotel deserves 5* I'd recommend this hotel however Athens city is a one time stop for us and am very happy with our hotel decision. Definitely recommend visiting the islands after for an exotic and quieter experience.

Its a great hotel overall. Good rooftop views, breakfast was quite decent. Staff was also good. Only point to make is there was quite a street noise at night especially if you are street facing and on lower floors, we couldn't sleep one night due to late night party noises around the street.

Water pressure in shower was amazing
