“Great value for money!!”

It was just as advertised on Expedia. The rooms were comfy, the baths very functional, the breakfast very satisfying. Front staff very courteous & friendly. Great value for money !!

“Worth the price”

The hotel was very nice and for the price range, worth it. The free breakfast was amazing. The staff were very nice. Although the neighborhood was not the best, the hotel made up for it. The hotel was perfect for someone on a budget.

“Very Sad Neighborhood”

The Hotel Ionis itself was not bad, fairly clean, things worked, but the neighborhood is very sad, stinky ,and worn out at its best. It reminded me of Delhi . I like Greece but I will not go back to Athens again for pleasure. Yes that unpleasant.

“good people”

hotel was good for the price paid. break fast was good. i wouldnt recommend the dinner their. very help full employees.

“for a 3 star, my family was impressed”

The hotel is situated within walking distance of all tourist attractions. Staff are helpful & they do speak english.Generous continental breakfast.

“Accessible location with friendly, helpful staff”

Great location in Athens, with easy access to Omonia subway station and downtown sites. Location is more questionable after dark for family travelers, but shouldn't affect experienced travelers.

“Good breakfast but challenging area”

Breakfast is superb, to die for!!!!!!!Staff is extremely helpful, I had a light bulb needing to be fixed and voila, done...Area is challenging, you need to be travel smart!!!!!Otherwise, get yourself a 5-star because it is a bargain for the services offered!!

“Ordinary Hotel”

It's not special but, didn't have bad things.

“Not as bad as other reviews make it seem”

Ok so upon reading the other reviews for this place and being on a strict budget, I was a bit nervous about booking a room. So the neighborhood has a few hookers and I would not go out after dark ( 9pm onward) but I felt safe during the daylight hours and there were dozens of police on just about every street. The location of the hotel was great as it was only about a 4 minute walk to the metro station which will take you just about any place you want to go including the Acropolis. The rooms were pretty clean but the AC does not work at all so expect to have the large screen less window open at night if you like to breath. Windows are sort of dangerous if you are not careful so avoid if you have children. The bathroom was small with no working ventilation but hot water worked well. Fridge did not keep anything even remotely cool so don’t count on storing too many beverages. There is no place to purchase drinks inside the hotel and most vendors close down by 9pm so bring something to drink before you head in for the night. The staff was not rude and seemed to leave everyone be unless help was needed. The Breakfast buffet was great and served for several hours each morning. I have to say I would recommend this place because it was one of the nicer buildings in the neighborhood and it gave us a place to rest after the long days of sightseeing. If you’re low on cash and want to see the awesomeness that is Athens, stay here and don't let the small flaws of this place get you down.

“Horrible location”

The Ionis hotel is a good basic hotel with bright, clean and functional rooms. The huge downside is the awful location. Fellow travellers please avoid the Omnia square area. It is filthy, sleazy and extremely noisy. The traffic never stops, loud motorbikes roaring away all through the night, people shouting, loud music etc. Try to find a quiet area in Athens (if it exists!) as this is one city it does not pay to stay at a budget hotel - you will not get much sleep if you ignore my advice!! Good luck!
