Vannesa

Disliked: Amenities
We arrived late for the check in almost midnight and the guy at the front desk was really nice. The property is located in a very steep street where most taxis don’t like to go up and drop off at the bottom of the hill then have to go up through a really high street stairs or the steep alley, the building is old but clean, the bathroom is really small that an overweight person will definitely not fit in the little shower, the tv didn’t work and when asked the other guy at the front desk he just said he didn’t know and to try to get the remote closer and see if it works (it didn’t) breakfast was ok but for 9 euros is not worth it. The best part of the hotel is the view from the rooftop that you can see the acropolis from there. The buildings around are full of graffiti but i guess that’s part of the culture and we felt safe walking around day and night.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is a bit isolated, but that does provide with some quietness, and the little square behind is a nice place to sit or to climb to have a nice view on the city. It's also close to some bus routes, so easy to travel around by bus mainly. Close to main places by foot. Breakfast is nice and the terrace offers a fantastic place to enjoy. Probably one of the best price-to-quality ratio in the city.

Wonderful! Perfect place for the perfect stay

Our stay at Orion and Dryades was fabulous. Within walking distance of multiple and great restaurants. Our hostess was equally wonderful and accommodating. They go the extra distance to make sure your stay is comfortable and relaxing. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wishes to stay in Athens City Center.

heerlijk ontbijt op dakterras met uitzicht op Akropolis. vriendelijk personeel. nette kamer. 15 minuten lopen naar metro. bushalte wel vlakbij. Wijk is niet toeristisch, veel studenten, bijzondere types en graffiti. Heerlijk gegeten, geen toerist food, maar tussen de locals. hotel ligt wat hoger op een heuvel. om er te komen moet je een hoge steile trap nemen. daar zitten de hele dag en avond wat vreemde figuren. ik zou er als vrouw alleen niet langs durven in het donker. maar met zn tweeën was het prima.

Bon établissement avec vue sur l'Arcropole

Très bonne pioche cet hôtel, on y a passé 3 jours et c'etait vraiment agréable. Une navette nous a été organisée depuis l'aéroport et c'etait confortable à 2h du matin ! Emplacement à 20min a pied du centre ville et de nombreux restaurants pas loin. Le gros plus est la terrasse en rooftop avec vue sur l'Acropole pour les petits dej et les aperos.
