Ariston Hotel

"Our family had an early morning train to catch, so this hotel was the perfect spot- literally a 4 minute brisk walk! The owner is very nice & the receptionist was also a sweet older lady. The hotel offers a reasonable sized buffet breakfast as well, so we enjoyes that. It is a little noisy, especially the corner rooms, because of the busy road that runs in front, but not too bad if you're used to city noises. We'd probably stay here again if we find ourselves in need of another early morning train to catch.👌"

"BEWARE! Do not stay at this hotel! Worst experience in Greece. The staff is extremely rude. We asked for a box lunch since our ferry was leaving before breakfast time. They said it was ok but forgot to prepare anything and offered us hot coffee and tea without to-go cups, and cake from the day before. Our room was dirty, we found spiders, hairs on the bed, and a half-eaten sandwich in the mini fridge. They will police your use of stuff, they lock the toilet paper inside a cage so you don't use too much. The thermostat is also caged and set on the lowest fan, it was 38°C and we couldn't get the room to cool down. Our TV didn't work. They don't allow outside deliveries so you have to eat at their overpriced restaurant. Finally, if you want to leave your luggage in storage they will charge you 3 extra euro per locker when every other hotel we stayed at does it for free.\n\nThe location is not the worst. Close to the train station and the metro. But it is not worth it. Buses and taxis in Athens are cheap. Do yourself a favor and stay anywhere else but here. Its rude staff will ruin your holiday.\n\nFinally we are not sure but they might have overcharged us for the municipal tax. We stayed for a few nights at another hotel and they charged us 2 euro per night. Ariston hotel charged us 5 euro per night and refused to give us a tax receipt."

"We booked the Junior Suite, which looked stylish and spacious in the photos, but in reality, the room was small and already worn down. It didn’t live up to the online presentation.\n\nBreakfast was below average, and while the rooftop terrace was a nice idea, the views were rather mediocre.\n\nOne frustrating issue was that multiple booking platforms kept sending notifications that the hotel did not accept my credit card – even though the same card worked everywhere else, and was accepted without issue at the hotel upon arrival.\n\nThe one major plus is the location: it’s close to the train station, which was convenient for continuing our journey to Patras.\n\nOverall, I wouldn’t choose this hotel for more than a night or two."
