세실 호텔

If you're really tight on money, and want to stay centrally in Athens, this is an okay location. The property is quite old, and that shows. Staff are generally helpful, but not overly. My main issue was that I found a single BED BUG in my room at 1am. They were able to give me a different room in the morning, but that was a stressful night, hoping to not be bit by ones I didn't find, and checking all my clothes, packing everything in my bag, and worrying. Also, they didn't seem surprised when I told them about the bed bug, which makes sense given the two other past reviews I found later on from other customers. After this incident, some of the issues with cleanliness in this hotel were more easily noticeable to me, including in their breakfast room. I did not find any other bed bugs, the new room seemed cleaner, and luckily I didn't get bit.

Lovely place. I would stay there again. Close to everything. Most everything is no further than a 25 minute walk away. Staff was always helpful with a 24 hours manned front desk. Rooms were clean and the spiral staircase was elegant. The elevator was as charming as the whole building.

The location is the best reason to stay here. Very accessible from train station - from airport, there is no need to change. Surrounded by many restaurants, got a nearby grocery, and sourvenir shops. Just walking distance to most attractions, like Plaka and Acropolis. The hotel is in an old building which, in my POV, made the stay more authentic. The lift is so cool!. The acropolis can also be seen from the rooftop. The night view is nice. They have a free breakfast, but I wasnt able to try since I needed to go out early. The room is spacious and the bed is big. Not sure if can request, but there are no hair dryer and spoon in the room. Minor stuff, not really an issue. Overall, I highly recommend the place and I will surely stay again.
