Hotels near AK ATHENS - Phenomenon Art Gallery in Kifissia

The Kefalari is located in a very nice neighborhood with cute shops and nice restaurants. They offered us a breakfast box due to no restaurants serving breakfast in the neighborhood. We had to leave at 2:30 am for a flight, so missed out on that but they had Nespresso pods available as well as water. The rooms are beautiful and have great amenities but the carpet needs replacing. I believe they are in the midst of renovations. There is a small elevator and also cookies, coffee and bottled water in the lobby.

I am a former Vice Consul who is currently heavily disabled and I live in Tolo-Argolida with my partner who needed urgent medical attention at the KAT Hospital in Kifissia. Not knowing the hotels in Kifissia, I happened to call the Pines. It was confirmed to me that it had easy access to the said hospital, so believing the member of staff I went ahead and booked the hotel. At no point during our conversation was I told that this is a couples hotel as I would never have accepted to book. We got there at 01.35 tired and nervous about our hospital visit, but we went off immediately to get some lunch On our return to the hotel at 15.10 we had decided to take a short rest so I asked the reception staff to wake us up with coffee at 15.45 so that we don't miss our very important hospital appointment. Thankfully, though I hadn't fallen asleep as I was very disturbed after turning on the TV in order to relax our minds by watching the daily news but instead finding two hard core porn channels back to back... at this point I switched off the TV and awaited for the coffee. When at 15.50 it still hadn't arrived, I called reception to ask what had happened, only to be told that he would send some coffee up to us immediately. After 15 minutes though and as we had to urgently leave in order not to miss our appointment at the Hospital, the bar staff knocked the door carrying two cups of coffee. However, as we were already running late we did not have any time to waste so, after I told the bar staff that he was too late, we rushed off to the hospital. What shocked me most of all is that the reception staff called to complain. I can't believe the audacity of it. Instead of apologising he appeared angry! Can you believe it? An 180 kilometres journey for a hospital appointment that we nearly missed simply because of their inefficiency!!! At this point I need to stress to other prospective customers that the Pines Hotel, in my view is 100% a ”couples” hotel! I find it very unfair that they do not warn customers before their arrival!!!

Excellent customer service from booking the room restaurant room service!!! Very accommodate and friendly stuff !!! We were experiencing some problem with the bathroom and the lady at the front desk took action right away and solved the problem by calling the maintenance person We will visit again Thank you!!!

We had 4 nights accomodation from 28th of dec. till 1st of January and I can say only good words about the hotel. We came with out daughter, we had a premium triple room, big enough, 3rd floor with the view on the back, as we asked. Because of the high traffic in Athens, I think everywhere you stay, there is traffic noise from the street, but this time, not having a room with street view, was great. The staff from the reception till the bar on the rooftop, are very kind, friendly, always happy to assist you with what you need. The room was cleaned each day, very good breakfast too, so I really recommend this hotel. It is about 20-30 min walking distnate from Syntagma square or Acropolis, so we did not need the use the public transpo. I agree with come negative comments about the dark streets closed to the hotel, with a lot of homeless, but these can be avoid if you decide to walk.

Let’s go in order: - Completely absent attention to the client. Staff is unprepared and bothered by anything you might ask them. - The carpets in the halls were filthy with multiple stains - The room was not clean, I found multiple hair on the chair close to the desk and on the towels in the bathroom as well as dust all around the room - I checked the bed and it was not dirty thankfully. Nevertheless it was incredibly uncomfortable and I could feel all the metal springs - I went to breakfast the first morning and the service was completely absent, no one greeted me in any way or asked what I wanted to drink for example (there are no coffee machines to make a cappuccino/tea/espresso/etc on your own so I would expect that someone asks me) - On the second day I went again for breakfast and took an orange juice from the dispenser; I saw something dark floating in the dispenser, but did not pay attention to it until I noticed it in my glass and took a closer look - it was a worm (!!!). I told the waitress and she came back to me sayin that it was a dark piece of apple (…) - I left it there because I did not want to discuss, but please check the pictures and let me know. Also, it was orange juice so not sure how the apple thingy ended up there. Overall I have no idea how they got 5 stars, but this place should just close. Everything about it was unacceptable and unprofessional. Do yourself a favour and never go to this place.

Needs updating! Arrived here to a friendly welcome from the lovely staff at reception. Booked a premium sea view room was clean and of a good size but with a small balcony. Bathroom was big but in need of a serious update, shower went all over the bathroom floor which seemed to stay wet!! We were on floor six and it absolutely stank the minute you walked in of cigarettes it was very off putting to two non smokers, not very pleasant at all. Food was average, could always find something but we found it wasn’t always warm not alone hot. This is not good practice in a buffet type situation ( or any good food setting!) Dining area was probably the worse I’ve ever been in, depressing miserable canteen style with the most miserable staff we’ve ever seen! Pushing a black trolley around and clearing plates and dumping food next to your table is awful and should really be addressed by the hotel. Pool staff friendly. Enough sun beds around pool area. Hotel needs seriously updating it is a beautiful location. Not much around area so you are sort of stuck there, it’s a 30 min drive from the craziness of Athens so good if you want to relax. Guests were mostly French. I don’t think we would return unless some serious renovation took place.

We njoyed r stay. At first we were concerned about the location, thinking we were going to b close to city center. But the location is great - it is only 2 blocks from the metro, making it convenient to everything by metro. Apartment is super modern and great. The response time from the Lux&Easy team is amazing - and they were always so helpful. They r the best. The apartment is in a local neighborhood, people walking dogs, people going to work, others walking to market. Nice balcony to watch it all. Nice!

This was my second stay at Athens Center Square Hotel and it was as good as the first. Location is fantastic in the old marketplace with a great restaurant at the corner and easy walk to Monesteri and metro. It is a budget hotel - so don't expect luxury and can be a little rough around the edges, but the price is good and the staff is fantastic. From the roof-top bar you get as good a view of the Acropolis as you have from any luxury hotel with friendly service and good prices at the bar. Breakfast included in the rate and was excellent with a large variety of fresh local items plus standard international options. Highly recommended if you want great value, comfortable rooms and fantastic staff. Not luxury, but my choice in Athens every time!

We shared a two-room apartment with another couple, and were very impressed. The rooms are spacious, well-appointed and very clean, and heave cooking facilities. Our apartment had two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a kitchen/living area. The rooms are exceptionally quiet at night, and when the external window shutters are down are completely dark, even during the day. Beds are comfortable and it was lovely sitting on the balcony in the evenings. Location is fine, with easy walking to tram and metro stops, and shopping in adjacent streets. The only points that limit my rating to 4 stars are that i) no brooms or cleaning equipment are available, and our bedroom aircon struggled a bit on hot nights (though the main room and other bedroom were fine). There is also a gym available in the basement.

Everything was very good, service, clean and good size room. Location was just fine, close to Omonoia Sq and Acropolis. Around hotel was not a pleasant atmosphere. To many homeless and drug addicts. Katarina at reception was very helpfull.
