Trousas Vacations from $915

Room didn’t match the pictures online, bathroom had mould on the roof and was generally average. Mattress dipped in the middle. The reception didn’t let us keep our key which we googled and saw is normal in Europe but after 22 European countries I have never experienced it. Area around the hotel is a bit dodgy but that’s not their fault

The property was clean, and the staff friendly, and fairly helpful obtaining things that should have been in the room (as per the Expedia listing). It was also conveniently placed less than 5 minutes from the Metro. The cleaner was efficient. The staff kindly held my luggage the last afternoon so I could get lunch after checking out. However, the room looked out over a building site, and will eventually look at a wall with no view. I guess single rooms are always the worst! There was a small, wobbly refrigerator and a kettle, but no coffee mug, or drinking glasses, only a single paper cup! I eventually got a wine glass and two very small glasses - no mug! The iron and ironing board were missing. At first they wanted to give me an iron with frayed flex, but eventually bought a cheap iron and table top ironing board which kept collapsing. There are no smoke alarms. There is no toilet in the reception area - when I needed one when returning for my luggage after checkout I was sent into the basement to use the staff one. The hotel is a lot more “basic” than I expected, and in a bit of a rundown area.

The hotel was good, we had a great service but the neighborhood was scary.

Great staff. Clean room. Was a little small and didn't like having to turn everything off when leaving for short times.

Athens Choice is suitable for a quick, budget-friendly stay if you’re not expecting much beyond the basics. The location is definitely the highlight, close to hop-on/hop-off bus stops and surrounded by plenty of great food options.The staff were genuinely kind and extremely welcoming, which was a refreshing touch and one of the better aspects of our stay. Unfortunately, the breakfast didn’t live up to the hype in other reviews. It was served cold, and the boiled eggs looked like they’d been made the day before. We ended up grabbing something nearby in the square. Overall, if you're just passing through and prioritize location over comfort, it does the job. But don’t come expecting a full 3-star experience.
