Hotel Ionis

Quite in the centre, closed to the metro and bus stops, the ancient city is just some stations to go. Good shopping facilites, many stores, banks, restaurants in the neighborhood. No possibility to park. It is very noisy, and the air is very polluted if you go out to the balcony.

The staff was most of the time friendly and helpful, but some of them did not really speak English, or they did not understand simple questions. Check-in was ok. We arrived from the airport very early (before 5 a. m.) and they gave us the possibilty to leave our luggage in a safe place, and offered us tea and coffee. They tried to help us spending our time as good as possible. When we organized trips on our own (to Delphoi and Sounion) we could ask for information from the hotel staff.

It was very boring and not too delicious. We asked only for breakfast but is was more than enough. It was allowed to smoke in the restaurant and there were a lot of smoker (mainly local Greek people and Russian tourits) which is not too pleasent when you are a non-smoker and you want to eat your breakfast.

No such facilities.

The room was quite small, simply furnished, not too modern, but if don\'t want anyway to spend too much time it is OK. The streets were very busy and noisy, so many vehicles all the time, so we didn\'t go out to the balcony. The room and the bathroom was clean.

In my opinion it is maybe the best time to go in September. The weather is still sunny, but not so hot as during the summer, and the prices are lower. Not so many tourist everywhere. We checked other hotels in Athens but they were much expensive.
