81%Apollo Hotel  

The place was grat guy at reception was very helpful and pleasant. Rooms were very clean and secure. However to me athens itself is somewhere we would skip on any further holidays.

It on a very very busy road so if you are looking for peace and quiet don't stay there! Location is pretty close to the main attractions (i would still get on the nr 400 bus that takes you to all the main sites). The neighbourhood is not the greatest - but then again I found athens to be a dirty...

Apollo was in a great location. Athens itself is fairly walkable but also has a new underground system that like most of the ones in Europe is really easy to navigate.

Athens itself is fairly walkable but also has a new underground system that like most of the ones in Europe is really easy to navigate. The couple that owns the place was really nice- our only hang up is that we booked the hotel for 2 nights and the first night they shipped us over to a different hotel because the electricity on one of the floors wasn't working. They paid for our cab fair to the other hotel which was equally nice and in a good location, but it was inconvenient to have to stay one night here and one night there. One OUTSTANDING feature of the Apollo is their roof top bar that oepns up at night- totally chill people that work there and an awesome view of the Acropolis which is completely lit up at night . If I had to do it again I would definitely stay here- it is still a budget hotel so don't expect luxury, but it has all the necessary amenities so if you're on a budget this is a great place to stay.close

Our room was facing a pretty busy street and the noise level was very high. We stayed in a more expensive hotel in Athens ealier and it was the same, maybe you just have to expect it.

Decent hotel, very close to a metro stop which is convenient, very good staff. The rooftop bar has an amazing view of the Acropolis at night.

The area is ok, but I guess women can feel a little insecure in the evenings.

Nice place. Room had a safe. On main road so very noisy at all hours and hard to sleep. About 15mins walk to plaka but near a metro stop. Not much around at night in regards to food.

The people are very nice and helpful. The reception is a good place to ask about the city. Thanks to the metro just around the corner it is a child play to reach the farthest corners of the metropol within minutes. Rooms are clean and nice only the baths are a bit too tine.

Breakfast was great and the staff were always very friendly and helpful. Smoking is allowed throughout the building which is a shame, but part of staying in Greece, I think.

Very nice helpful staff, just a very noisy street and difficult to sleep at night. Close to the sites, but not a very clean neighborhood. Close to Metro. Wider selection for breakfast than you get at most hostels.

Good positions, it's easy to get to all the main attractions from there. The rooms are clean and pretty good for the price, and the included breakfast is a nice plus. Too bad the hotel is on a very busy street, so it can be a bit noisy at night, but I'd definitely go back there.

This is definately a hotel. Very nice living, very clean and only about five minutes walk from the metro station. We actually stayed here twice cause it was so convenient and the price was great. Reccommend it to anyone who wants to get out of that dorm style living. The breakfast is good too!!!

Even though later that night we saw them accepting credit cards. We had to go and get cash out to pay for the room. It was very nice overall and is very close to the the underground which you need to take to get most anywhere because it it not super close to the Plakas or the Acropolis.close

Two stops away from the city centre by metro which is located just around the corner from the hostel. For what you pay, this truly is a great little hostel, very comfy and clean. In regard to the fun factor, its not a really interactive kinda hostel, but it really comes down to what you make of it!

Apollo was very clean! We had heard horry stories about other hostels so were very pleased. It just opened about a month ago so they are still fine tuning it but overall it was great. The staff is honest and very friendly. We would highly recommend it.

The free breakfast consisted of bread, cheese, ham. The orange juice was extremely watered down. The milk for the cereal was also warm. Also, 2 different sets of people advised me that they were told a different rate from what others had paid.
