Very Noisy - Average Hotel
Firstly the ladies on reception were very friendly and welcoming + helpful. The room was small dated and tired. The noise from the road outside was relentless and keeps you awake with the constant horn noises. The breakfast was good and the room cleaned everyday, sadly it needs modernising and sound proofing before I would recommend a stay

Avoid this hotel
The hotel had no record of our expedia booking. They had one room, a dingy back room, although we had paid for a 'sea view'. The first night we were awake until 2am with the noise from 80 hyperactive Serbian teenagers running amok around the hotel. Next day we were moved to a front room (there is no real sea view!). The noise from the highway in front of the hotel was so loud that the balcony was unusable. The hotel seemed to recognise that because the chairs and table were filthy from the road pollution. The second night the Serbian teenagers ran wild up in the stairways and corridors until 3am with no action taken by the hotel. That and the incessant noise from traffic, including bikers racing along the road, meant little sleep. There were no bedside lights so it was only possible to read using the bare bulb in the ceiling light. Breakfast was awful. After the stale bread, dessicated scrambled eggs and dishwater tea on the first daywe gave up on the included breakfast and ate at the cafe across the road. We had also pre-booked the hotel to overnight after our sailing trip. Once again the hotel was full of over-excited teenagers. The desk staff were charming but useless. When we arrived at 4pm the smoke alarm in the corridor was beeping. After some hours nothing had been done so I got a battery from them and changed it myself! Do yourself a favour and give the Galaxy a miss. It is cheap but far from cheerful!

Great hotel close to beach and public transport
The hotel and room was clean. Staff very friendly. Nice restaurants and cafes next to the beach and back streets. Convenient location with public transport and by car to the city centre, Acropolis, airport and beaches along the coast. The buffet breakfast on the top level with great view was the highlight of this hotel. The only bad point was the noise from the outside traffic on the main road - even from the side building rooms. However, I would come again to this hotel on my next trip to Athens.

Convenient location. The rest terrible.
good location of you want public transport. Terrible if you have a car and need a parking place. the hotel does not offer any parking places and the area around has no available parking place. Outside the hotel and in the lobby it smells terrible (a mix of sewers and gas). The condition of the hotel is terrible. Walls need painting, they have wholes from drills, the doors and all the carpentry are very old and scratched, the door knobs are broken. The room (2 bed) was very small, the air conditioner smells, the bathroom very old with the shower mixer barely working. You cannot switch on the bathroom light without switching the main light on (very inconvenient during sleep time). The fresh towels weren't fresh at all, one of them was actually smelling bad. I had booked a double bed and I had 2 single beds put together instead. An overall disappointment. Terrible experience.

Convenient location. Not much else
Positives Excellent location for transport links. It is located on Poseidonos Avenue and therefore has easy access to buses and the tram. Housekeeping staff very friendly and accommodating Reception staff Nikki and George= lovely, helpful, knowledgeable. Reception staff Hristos= not very nice, quite a "know it all" (but knows very little), unhelpful and smug. Avoid if possible! Free wifi internet 24/7 in all common areas but also in the rooms for as many devices as required. However, there seems to be a daily problem at around 2230-23:30 when the internet appears to always be down. Nice breakfast. Negatives -Very old hotel, everything creeks and there's only one key per room. Small room -Breakfast could do with a bit of a change every now and again. We stayed for two weeks an there was no change for the whole duration. croissants would be a nice touch. It could also have done with being replenished more often than it was. It didn't seem busy enough to justify the lack of replenishment. -The "open"/free beach across the road is horrible, you are afraid to leave your stuff to go on the sea or fall asleep due to pickpockets and perverts. If you choose to go to the beach next to it you are looking at a fee of 5 euro per person entrance Mon-Fri and more on weekends. I feel the hotel could have some deal with the beach to give a discount= strong recommendation. -There is no pool -They do not have weighing scales (for luggage) which most hotels do (for rent) -No fresh fruit

Ok hotel for price
Nice enough hotel.Well located for beach but on a very busy dual carriageway at the junction with another quite busy road, both of which you need to cross to get to the beach. Lots of road noise and incessant horn blasting. If you are a light sleeper, take ear plugs. The staff were pleasant and courteous and the room was fine. TV with mostly Greek channels (after all it's in Greece). Small stereo in room also fridge & air con. There's a safe in the room which we didn't use. Not sure but it may require payment to get the key. Overall it's a decent hotel, but in a noisy location.

Kleines abgewohntes Hotel in Strandnähe
Man erreicht das Hotel vom Flughafen super mittels Express-Flughafenbus. Station quasi vor der Türe, so wie auch Tram in die City von Athen. Da aber Hotel direkt an 6 spuriger Straße liegt ist ein schlafen bei offenen Fenster unmöglich. Dafür gibt es aber gute Klimaanlage. Das Zimmer sowie ganze Hotel sind schon älter und abgewohnt. Sauberkeit war anfangs nicht so Top (besonders das Bad), wurde aber besser. Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Frühstück ok und ausreichend. Strand ist quasi vor der Haustüre wenn man die Strasse endlich überquert hat. Am nähesten öffentlichen Strand hört man stark den Verkehr. Nebenan gibt es einen besseren Strand mit tollen Lokalen und Restaurant. Leider mit Eintritt (dafür aber Liegen inkludiert). Zusammengefasst ... wer nicht auf Luxus angewiesen ist und das Hotel nur zum Übernachten und Frühstücken braucht, der ist hier gut aufgehoben. Würde es weiterempfehlen, da um den Preis vollkommen in Ordnung. Ich war 1 Woche mit 2 Kindern im Hotel.
