Novotel Athens

A very good hotel overall — clean, well-maintained, with attentive and friendly staff. The rooms are cleaned every day and the towels are changed regularly, The breakfast was also very good, and we really appreciated the hotel’s free shuttle service to the city centre, which runs every two hours. This is definitely a great service to have.

The swimming pool is very small, and there are not enough sun loungers. This can be quite inconvenient, especially if you choose the hotel specifically because it has a pool. There is a good chance you may not actually be able to use it comfortably due to the limited space and number of loungers. The location is probably the biggest disadvantage if you plan to walk around. To reach the centre on foot, you have to pass through several areas that do not feel very safe or pleasant, and in the evening this becomes an even bigger issue. If you prefer a hotel where you can comfortably walk around the neighbourhood, I would not recommend this location. The free shuttle to the city centre is a really nice idea, but it has very limited capacity — around 10 people. Since it only runs every two hours, there is a real possibility that it will already be full when you want to use it. Still, we appreciated that the hotel offers this service.

Really good

Breakfast

rooftop

- Central location close to acropolis - Parking available

- Swimming was packed with kids running and screaming there was no chance to swim or to relax. - Breakfast was also packed and understaffed as the food and coffee were going out and they were replaced 10 min later.
