阿塔洛斯酒店 - 雅典 Attalos Hotel

Don't be fooled

Checking in was fine until the moment we walked into the elevator. Now coming from the US maybe it's a thing, but the elevator states it could fit 4people vs reality you could fit you and your luggage comfortably (if your claustrophobic I advise take the stairs). On top of how small the elevator was there was no door so you saw the elevator going up so now you have to make sure you aren't so close because you'll probabaly get hurt. We get out of the elevator the hallway already gave me the impression of how outdated the hotel is. It looked like a scene from a horror movie. The light flickers on once you walk towards your room and it's not a very comfortable atmosphere. We walk in to our room and was SO dissapointed. Our room looked NOTHING like the pictures posted, was very outdated and had 2 twin beds when booked I asked for 1 bed obviously we're a couple. We called the reception and without even finishing our sentence rudely he shut us down. Walking into the bathroom it was so small, the tub was small when we showered all of the water was coming out with the curtains sticking to our bodies. The lights to the bathroom wouldn't even turn on without flicking the switch on and off a couple of times. Let's just say the room was so outdated we had to ask the reception how to flush the toilet and ofcourse answered so rude and acted like we were crazy and said "you press the button" obviously we know that but there was no visbile button. Once a employee comes in who was probabaly the nicest one there he showed us a big item above he show which had a syringe like button to press. You'd think having tourist from around the world they'll be more lenient on explaining things coming from the US that is not something you see everyday. Aside from all the dissapointments we refused to sleep there and slept over at our friends hotel because of all the dissapointments we had. We even checked previous reviews to go by to make sure we didn't miss anything and we didn't. The pictures they have are updated and the rooms look nice, not sure if they just gave us a VERY outdated floor/ room but I will never suggest anyone to stay here. I'm sure there are much better options available around. I never do reviews but I had to share my experience so nobody else can make the same mistake as I did. Aside from the hotel itself the location is near everything but the neighborhood isn't the best I'd becareful at night. This hotel seems to be a hotel where you'd want to stay for emergency purposes and have no other choice. Or if your into hotels that remind you of a motel on the road. If your looking for somewhere for romantic trip, relaxation, or anything you'd like to enjoy don't stay here.

Staff was very helpfull and location was great.

It needs to be renovated. Room was too small and all furnitures were very old. I had a view of the wall of the next building.
