Zappion Hotel

Location Cleaning

Staff were nice, had a small elevator. bed wasn't super comfortable. Bathroom in poor shape needs a good scrubbing down. Older hotel small rooms only there a night before returning to USA

a good breakfast in the stores nearby

Quiet street

The beds were very old and uncomfortable and construction outside our room was extremely loud.

The room was very small and when we asked to change to larger room the manager george wasn’t very accommodating and we found him not very friendly. The bathroom wasnt very nice and certainly the pictures on booking .com did not match the room. We were there a couple of nights and were booked originally again 10 days later for another night. When we got there he made us pay for the 2 stays I wanted to cancel the the room we had booked ten days later that we had already paid for when we checked in and George said we could not get e refund which i found unreasonable and not to booking .com policy as far as I’m concerned. He’s a terrible manager every time we dealt with him for anything. On the other hand there was another gentleman there on another shift. His name was Gregory and he was very pleasant. He gave us a map of the area and told what to go see of interest.

This is not a 5 star hotel. But they never said they were. It is clean. Safe. And the reception was very helpful. I enjoyed the location close to the hip bars and restaurants. This is exactly what I was looking for.

friendly staff not overly clean very small room but apparently there are even smaller ones.

Not bad The location

The location is superb. The room is ok. The clenliness is good, the staff is very good and very friendly. The only issue is the shower which is very small. However, this has never stopped me from staying in this hotel (and this is the 3rd or 4th time) because it is value for money and the location is excellent! As I said the shower is too small.

ONLY IT WAS CLOSE TO WHERE WE WERE GOING AND THAT WHY I CHOOSE IT THE BATHROOM WAS AWFUL, THE SHOWERE WAS IN THE 70"S

They weren 't at the check in and I was unable to enter the premises. So therefore my opinion is do not bother, They did not offerto meet my b=needs as a guest at all. The fact that the recepotion was closed when I arrived and I could not enter the hotel that I had paid for.

location and price

Kind considerate and helpful concierge. Private large balcony.

Great location, simple but clean accommodation, wonderful and responsive staff!

I have stayed here a number of times and previously rated it higher (on a good day, I would say it is a solid 8-8.5), but have to say that my last stay was pretty uncomfortable. I generally like this place, the staff and the location. It is simple, yes, but for the money it is ok. The bed is comfortable. It is an old place and it shows in some places, but it is always spotless. Unfortunately, on a hot July day, the room temperature was unbearable and the AC useless. I checked in at about 8pm and it was very hot in my room. AC only works when the key is in and it seems to be a very old AC. I decided to stick a piece of paper where the key usually goes and went for dinner with the AC on. Unfortunately, when I got back 2.5 hours later, the piece of paper wasn't in there anymore (fallen out? someone removed it?) and the room was boiling hot. I did not manage to get it to a decent temperature for sleeping. At some point (2am?) I decided to just set the AC to 17C but unfortunately, the AC just didn't manage, in the morning it was still 24 degrees in the room. It was frustrating, since I really wanted to be rested, but to be honest, I could have just as well slept on a bench at the airport. I wish rooms were cooled to a decent temperature before guests arrive in the summer. And the "AC only running with the key in" is just outdated and impractical. Prices doubled since I first stayed here 6-7 years ago, and I think a bit more comfort can be expected. I've just previously stayed at a similarly priced hotel on an island, and AC was top and set to a nice temperature when I arrived - this can definitely be done better. All that said - I will probably be back for the convenience and the location, but in the hot summer months I might consider a different place.

The directions on how to get to the hotel from the train station ( provided by the hotel prior to arriving) Close to shops and restaurants . 15 minutes walk to the Plaka area. Hotel was a little noisy in the halls . Don't expect too much but it was great for 2 days stop over.

walk to the city center and the main attractions easily ; very friendly and helpful staff ; close to the bus and metro as well and a few good restaurants around recommended by the staff

Superb

I liked that it was very quite and in the heart of city centre. I didn't like how small it is but it is totally value for money if you combine with the fact that it was very quite and in a good area of athens(pagkrati). Also the staff was very friendly!
