Ares Athens Hotel

Enjoyed this hotel. Good location for walking around city, the window/balcony does look out onto several abandoned buildings but does not detract from the comfort of the room.

The front desk lady is a bit grumpy and the area is a bit sketchy. All the safety blogs quotes this neighborhood as unsafe, granted nothing happened to us but we usually returned back to the hotel before dark. Location is central and price is affordable, but not fantastic.

This is a terrific hotel if you are here to see Athens. It is close to the transportation hub called Omonia square. The hotel is old. It is European style. Not American. It is immaculately clean! There is coffee and tea and croissants available in the morning. The staff could not be nicer or more helpful.

Friendly staff, location is great, really close to the Metro and main attractions are not far by walking either. The room was simple but with all I needed, a hairdryer, a good bed, refrigerator that always comes in handy and tv. Bathroom is not big but it was not a problem. There are other hotels in the area as well as coffee shops. Really enjoyed my stay.

Our family had a horrible stay in this hotel. Don't let the pictures fool you.it is very different from the picture. As soon as we checked in i saw that the rating wad 8.6 and was looking forward to see our hotel but as soon as we enter the room, the hallways smells smoke, also inside the room, i complain and i told them that i booked a non smoking room, then i was told that all the room is non smoking but you can see an ashtray in the rooms and the room smells cigarette! So there is another 2 rooms available and saw all of them but still the same. All smoking rooms! It was raining, and we dont have a choice of cancelling and find another hotel eventhough our stuff smells cigarette. Rooms are old, bathroom are very small and the shower is too small. And bathroom is very dirty! I will never stay in this hotel again!! Neighboorhood is scary too! The best is hard as the card board!
