Let me first say there are other hotels in the area when booking this hotel, I was not sure if it was a hotel I would want to stay at, none in the area was my usual, but because of the great location in the city center, one of which was very important to me, I choose Athens Tiare. The area is crowded, lots of people hanging around the hustle and bustle, and lots of graffiti; but the area is safe and there is the watchful eye of law enforcement on occasions, but like every major cities as a tourist you should be aware of your surroundings; I was very happy I decided to choose Athens Tiare; I just can’t say enough, my entire stay was amazing I felt at home, clean room and good room temperature.The entire staff, front desk, dining room and house keeping staff all were great. The moment I arrived, I was greeted by George, he was wonderful, he was pleasant, polite and very helpful; I would be amiss if I did not mention Thomas who also was pleasant, polite and very helpful these two young men along with the other staff members made my stay wonderful.
