Airotel Stratos Vassilikos Hotel

The staff was excellent. There was a large selection for breakfast. And they also took care of the gluten-free guest perfectly. The room was nice and the bed comfortably hard. There is also a small refrigerator and a kettle in the room. And even hairdressing salon is part of the hotel.

As hotel prices in the centre of Athens have increased a lot recently, I decided to stay a little further out to get a better room at a reasonable cost. The hotel is within walking distance of the metro line which goes from the airport to the city centre (two stops away) and the fares are cheap. The rooms are a decent size and of a good standard. Breakfast was varied and plentiful.

Very comfortable hotel in a convenient location. The breakfast was fantastic, and we really enjoyed the sauna and billiards table. The staff was friendly and helpful. The Metro was a only a short walk, so we had easy access to all the great tourist attractions of Athens without the noise and expense of Syntagma or Plaka. There were lots of good restaurants in the area, including an amazing, traditional ouzeri only two blocks away.

We stayed for one night before leaving for the airport. The hotel was well located, close enough to downtown Athens and within easy driving distance to the airport. We were able to take the subway (3 stops) to the Acropolis and Plaka. Parking was available next door for 10 euros. The staff helped with all aspects, from helping us with our bags, to helping us with parking. They were very friendly and attentive throughout our stay. The hotel lobby was well equipped with maps, brochures, and information for tourists. The breakfast was plentiful and had a great variety of fresh foods available. The eggs that were cooked to order were excellent. The room was spacious, clean, and well appointed. The bathroom was nice and large with premium shower gel, shampoo and body lotion supplied. I also appreciated the filtered water in the hallways and the bottles provided in the rooms to refill with water in order to reduce plastic waste. The attentiveness to not wasting food, water, or resources was appreciated. Unfortunately, we did not have time to use the spa or the (complimentary!) hairdressing services provided, but this certainly would have been a lovely perk.

Oh boy! My husband and I checked into a different hotel, that shall not be named here, and we were less than impressed. I immediately went on to booking.com and found this place instead. It was worth it to pay for one night at the other hotel and move to this hotel. Not only was this place cheaper than our previous hotel, it was SO. MUCH. NICER. It was like night and day! Upon checking in, we were greeted by a very nice staff person who was incredibly helpful. They had tiny macarons for free at the front desk. Our room was large and spacious, beds were comfortable, bathroom very nice. Excellent breakfast in the morning! Not too far from a metro station either.
