Platja Filoxenia

Very helpful and kind staff, I’ll stay again there

A nice hotel. Don't understand what the other reviewers were complaining about. The rooms are nice and have a small balcony. Not a huge room, but as good as they come in Athens. Breakfast was simple, but decent. The room has AC, a must in the summer. Location is nice, as close to a place called Bread Factory. Best desserts there. A decent place to stay. One can take the bus to the main square. We walked in the evening and took the bus when it was hot.

The hotel itself is nice. We had a small double room and it was cramped for the two of us to stay in. We met a local on our flight into Athens describing the area that the hotel is located in as one of the worst in the city. Several others also corroborated this description of the location. When we arrived it didn’t seem nearly as bad as we had expected or made to believe, however, it was obvious that the area was significantly different in terms of the populations that resided around the location as well as some of the items on the ground around the property (needles)…. During the day it was fine but we were instructed not to be walking around there late which made the stay much less enjoyable. The rooftop bar was nice and breakfast was average. Overall an okay stay.
