This place itself was nice, however, the area was sketchy at best. It’s not that hotels fault that public transit is absolute garbage, but it should be noted because it is super close to the central train terminal. So you might think that’s helpful for getting around. It’s not. If you’re adventurous enough, I recommend renting a car, using a good maps system, and paying for insurance. The people who ran this hotel were super nice, I need to reiterate this, because it seems like I didn’t like the overall stay. They were great

You get what you pay for, staff are nice and helpful, the rooms are basic and bathrooms are small and a little cramped. But for location and convenience if you are travelling by train it is a great stay. A short 20-30 minute stroll into central Athens, although if walking at night stick to the main roads.

Morning and night reception staff were helpful and friendly. Afternoon to evenning guy who worked at the reception was not friendly at all. A few times I said hi as I come and go and he didn’t say hi or looked at me. Around 3 am someone was trying to unlock my room door. Somehow this stranger guy unlocked the door and stepped inside of my room. I was awake luckly and shouted at him to get out. He said sorry and left my room. I could’t sleep the rest of the night. I don’t understand how his key opens my door. I will not go back to this hotel. I didn’t feel safe after this incident.

The hotel is 5 min walking to the metro. Value for money. Only negative point was, the shower cubicals were too small and one cubical was leaking water to the toilet floor making it wet all the time after a shower. We were 4 persons in two combined room with two separate bathrooms.

Excellent location to walk to train station. Footpath suitcase friendly👍. Arriving from airport, 2 stops after Synagma Square you just walk across the road to Socrates Hotel. We made a mistake and got off at Synagma square then needed a taxi, costing an extra 12 euros that wouldn’t have been necessary. We would definitely stay there again for the extreme convenience. We also just walked across to the station to go to Meteora. A beautiful petrol station around the corner with beautiful food and drinks was fantastic. Thank you Vangeli
