Diros Hotel

Great little budget hotel. Room was spotless & beds very comfy. Location was good from the perspective of having the train line within a 3min walk which can get you all over Athens (including the airport) quite easily. Definitely recommended for the budget traveller

For the price a super place to stay right in the centre of Athens, we often stay there when we arrive or leave athens and have an early or late flight. Not a place for holidays, but very good for overnight stays.

This hotel is typical of many in this category i.e. for a few nights where you will spend a lot of time out of the room it is acceptable in terms of being able to sleep, the view from the balcony, etc. The decorations and bathroom look a little 'tired' and as with most city hotel staff they are fairly neutral and business-like and unlike holiday island hotel staff. While not personally all that bothered this area at night could be a challenge to certain travellers as it increasingly populated by groups of idle males on street corners, street vendors (probably unlicensed) many of who, are clearly not Greek and graffiti everywhere at head height; and yet there is always one building or park area to cheer you up.

For the money, I rate it very good. Good location (safe, clean and quiet, but a little far from the main sites. Metro station a block away), the view from our room was not very good (a wall). The actual room was great and so was the AC. The only thing this hotel needs to change is the shower, you had to hold the shower head on one hand to shower, very uncomfortable and a total surprise, very annoying. Very good WIFI.

It's hay day is long gone.
