Marina Athens Hotel

To start with the hotel rooms do not look anything like the photos on the website unfortunately they are very plain which isn’t the issue just abit disappointing. We booked a superior twin room and was first given a tiny standard single size room. I complained because not only was the room wrong but it had mould and smelt musty and dirty. The concierge said they had a double took me up to look for at it on the 7th floor but the electric wasn’t working on that level due to a storm that previous evening (storm not their fault) so we went back down had a look and said the room next to us is available and is a triple sized room 3 single beds, you would think ok perfect that’s more like it… WRONG… the walls were damp at the plugs and towels were left on the floor because it was leaking. Still bigger than the first room tho. We went down for breakfast which was actually quite pleasant considering and was called over to say they are cleaning a superior twin room for us should we want it (no s**t Sherlock that is what we paid for… which did smell fresh and was clean and best part the room we actually booked with the obvious as stated still nothing decorated wise as the pictures but we got there kind of in the end. First photo is what’s pictured when booking pic 2 and 3 was the first room given (single) pic 4 is the triple room (zoom in) with the damp wall round the plug sockets and final pic was the sound you can see is what we should have had to start with minus the decor. I have never had to complain about a room in all my years travelling.

Great location. Room was clean. Reception is so helpful about every topic.

Location is good close to all tourist spot 20mins walk from hotel to monastiraki & syntagma

Lovely little hotel, better than expected! Hotel staff are lovely, room was spacious, clean and stocked with amenities. There’s an old fashioned lift on site but takes a while to come so be prepared to either wait or take the stairs. Small downfall is the location as it’s in the backstreets of Athens down (probably not safe to walk alone especially as a female). Other slight downfall is the hotel public toilets don’t have any locks on the doors which made me feel uncomfortable to use so had to go back up to the room to use the toilet during breakfast time. Breakfast was a nice buffet mix and great hot drinks options, although the food on the hot plates was lukewarm so not sure they are working.

Excellent experience, great customer service from all the staff, the breakfast was delicious and complete. Joanna was amazing, very helpful and friendly. We definitely recommend this place.

I was so well looked after by the staff especially Joanna. One night only and it was great. Thanks
