“Would use this Hotel/Group again.”

Helpful and courteous staff. Clean and healthy environment within the building.

“Best Western Hotel Zinon - Great Hotel”

Great hotel for the money! Convenient (walking distance) to Omonia Square, Metro, Parliament and Acropolis. Don't be fooled by the immediate surrounding area. Within two blocks you are at Omonia Square or on a major street leading to the heart of the downtown area.

“Free internet, Quiet room, safety box, free orange juice”

This best western hotel offered good things, such as free internet(at the front desk and wireless), free orange juice, safety box(requires 20 euro deposit). The people at the reception were really friendly and explained the city. The place is near Omnia station and a little bit messy, but really good deal in terms of cost.

“a good choice”

My friend and I chose this hotel as it was fairly central and had good rates. The hotel itself is well placed - within walking distance to most of the big sites (e.g. base of the Acropolis in less than half an hour at a leisurely pace). The underground station is about 10minutes' away and you can get to the airport in about an hour. The staff are very polite, knowledgeable and helpful. The buffet breakfast was reasonably extensive. The rooms are very clean and there is air-conditioning which is very necessary in the heat! There aren't any spectacular views from the room balconies but this was not a big issue since we were only there to sleep and change. The toilets are a little on the small side - but still clean. 1 minor quibble though: the first is do with its location - although it is centrally located, it appears to be in a "working class" part of town. There are lots of little shops around the hotel selling sundry goods and cheap clothing, for example, and a small bus terminus. I read other reviews which said the place was unsafe etc - this is untrue. Although it is crowded during the daytime and there were people "hanging about" (both men and women), I don't think any of them had criminal intent! Having said that, it may not be suitable for a single female traveller who is nervous about what she might encounter, especially at night when there are fewer people around. Otherwise, this is a good hotel and I would choose to go there again.

“Terrific service, nice rooms, great bargain”

I definitely recommend the Omonia Zinon. Omonia is not the nicest area of Athens - not the worst by any means, but when it closes up at night it can be a little intimidating, with a fair number of illegal immigrants wandering about. That said, the staff is well aware of this and works extra hard to make your stay once in the hotel really special. They were extremely friendly, courteous, and helpful - storing our anniversary cake in the refrigerator, delivering a gratis bottle of wine on our anniversary, serving really inexpensive refreshments after hours. The breakfast is terrific and was included in our price. The room itself was extremely clean, well furnished, modern.

“A friendly place to stay”

The staff were very friendly and helpful.

“Good Central Hotel for the Price”

A small very conveniently located hotel near the railway station (400m). A bit hard to find in a back street (Zinonon St) with a quaint lift. Breakfast was OK. Within walking distance of everything we went to see and convenient as a cheap jump off point when picking up your yacht from yacht bases near Athens (ours was Alamos Marina. Near the central Athens markets and about 1.2km from Plaka and about 1.5km from the Acropolis. Recommended for short budget stays near the centre of Athens.

“Nice stay, great service”

The hotel staff was great, but the surrounding area of the hotel was a little off-putting at first. Omonia station nearby is convenient, but sometimes intimidating with the groups of folks lingering around. With that said, by the end of our stay in Athens, the area began to feel like 'home.'

“Good value for money”

Good value for money. Friendly people at reception who are ready to help with any questions. Location is a bit shady but Omonia is said to be overall like that. Thus other hotels also in similar locations. Advantage: close to city centre and all the metro.

“Great Hotel, Bad location”

Hotel Zinon is a very comfortable place reasonably priced with a good morning breakfast included. The bed was comfortable and the room smelled good with strong airconditioning. THe only draw back was the location in the Omonia district of Athens 3 blocks from the Metro. Trying to carry luggage throught he very dirty streets and the sketchy people that smells of urine tells you why the prices are lower.
