Hotels near El Centro, Kifissia

Stayed for one night while visiting Athens. Handy to get the train into Central Athens, about 10 minutes walk to Kafissia Station (uphill most of the way). Rooms very basic but clean. Air con in the rooms which was a bonus. Staff weren't very welcoming or friendly so glad it was just the one night. Wouldn't go back.

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!!!

Bien situé accueil très agréable et disponible Petit bémol porte de chambre avec une grande ouverture en bas qui laisse passer la lumière et le bruit . Pas de rideaux de douche .

The hotel is well lush and cozy, we were so into it that we decided to stay an extra night :) The pool's a bit on the small side, but it's chill vibes, and the view, especially at night, is pretty awesome.We would definitely consider returning for another stay and recommending it to friends.

Minus: The toothbrush holder looked very dirty, I would probably give it a deep clean. There were some signs of mold in the shower and the toilet paper holder was loose from the wall. The rain shower head lived a life of its own, very inconsistent with how the water came out, it also took time for the water to warm up. If you care about noise, don't get a room with a street view, the windows really weren't soundproof at all. The location is a bit sketchy at night. I would also recommend the hotel to advertise to people not to waste food at the breakfast buffet because there was A LOT of it by others when we were there. This is a big thing for hotels in the north. Pros: The room looked quite newly renovated. Seems like the hotel was under renovation because when we were there it was a completely different style from the breakfast room to the room. It's probably going to be very pretty when it's finished. Plus for the minibar and kettle in the room. Plus for a separate toilet room and shower room. Great view from the balcony in the room and from the roof terrace. Great, down to earth staff. Also a very good breakfast, I have stayed in many different hotels and this is one of the best breakfasts in Europe for me.

Stayed for 5 nights, the location is perfect as there is a metro station right outside the hotel, which will take you to most of the major tourist sites. The hop on hop off bus stops right outside the hotel also, so if you are a tourist it's easy to get around from the hotel. As four ladies alone, we felt very safe and would get taxi's to and from hotel to go out in the evenings, which the helpful staff are happy to book for you. The breakfast is brilliant with lots of choices so you never get bored. We stayed in a standard room which was small but perfectly formed, with lovely decor and all the amenities you will need. The best thing about this hotel is the amazing rooftop pool, bar and restaurant. Our taxi driver from the airport told us it was amazing and many locals will go there particularly at the weekends. Staff are so friendly especially Denisa our lovely waitress, food and drinks are varied and very nice. I would stay here again if I'm coming to Athens.

Stayed in a 6 bed hostel room. Bunk was comfortable. Nice large lock boxes. Good lighting and electric outlets with each bunk. Good curtains for privacy and lighting. Staff was really helpful and welcoming. Nice cafe on street level. Bathrooms were clean and kitchen on 1st floor was nice and coffee and tea were available. Great location in a Athens. Right where you want to be for quick access to attractions, transportation, restaurants and nightlife. Yes staying in a shared room can get noisy when people come in after a night out, but that’s hostel life. In any case bed was comfortable and I slept well. Would stay there again.

First the hostel was not as good as it was the years before, because of the prices, they were much higher. But then I met Johny at the reception, we were talking the 1st evening for 2 hours for everything. Next evening I was at the bar with Johny, Martin, Walther and Ami. The reason to come here is Johny, Martin, Walther and Ami.

We have stayed here before and were due to return two years ago but Covid happened. When we cancelled, we were told that our payment would be kept on hold until our next visit and they were as good as their word. Avra operates an efficient shuttle service to and from Athens airport which makes the transfer so much easier. Upon arrival we were offered complimentary soft drinks - so very welcome in the heat! Our en suite room with sea views was spacious, well appointed and very comfortable. Room service was also very prompt. In the morning we enjoyed our self-service bountiful breakfast. The restaurant staff and the ladies at reception were professional, helpful and very pleasant. Coupled with the fact that the ferry is a very short walk away, for us this is our hotel of choice in Rafina.
