Hotels near Agia Varvara, North Athens

Good things- staff were all fantastic from reception, (couldn’t have been more helpful!) to cleaner(apart from the so called lifeguard!!) The rooms and hotel was spotless- cleaners were lovely and did an awesome job It’s near to Olympic stadium There’s a shopping mall and a few shops ( great bakery for breakfast ) Free minibar!!! Bad things- quite a way from Athens. Although the tram is a couple of minutes walk and can get Ubers so not a big problem, The pool- great but can’t get near it on Sundays! Was told by the lifeguard that the one sunbed left of only 20 was going to be used by the “owner” and no one was to use it. However the “owner” turned out to be local Greek people with kids, as was the rest of the pool and area! At one point there were 40 kids in a tiny pool, dive bombing and water pistols - I had to tell a few off s as it was getting dangerous and the so called “lifeguard” was too busy waiting on the mum’s and serving them. If someone was in trouble there is no way the lifeguard would have even seen let alone get to them when he was in the bar!! He didn’t bother with the paying guests. It seemed not very good that we were paying £170 a night to use the facilities and locals seem to just walk in and take over meaning you can’t actually use the facilities! You’re paying for while others get it free! Overall the hotel was clean, quiet and staff brilliant, great if you are going to a concert at the stadium as only a 20 min walk, pool scenario let it down! I would just avoid going there on a Sunday!

This hotel is in the Kifissia area of northern Athens, surrounded by the rich area of Athens, the living facilities are more convenient, the supermarket is downstairs, and the hotel is 50 meters around, but the taste is average for the Chinese. Hotel facilities are the domestic express hotel grade. If the budget is limited and the luxury is not pursued, this hotel is still good, and the basic supplies are available. Foreign hotels do not have toothpaste and toothbrushes, and prepare them when you come. The hotel staff is not bad, can't say enthusiasm, but you open your mouth, still willing to help you, English communication is no problem. Don't come here if you don't have money, it's a bit far from the airport.

This hotel is brand new and is currently under building renovation as I understood + they are building new pool and restaurant with bar.This makes a lot of noise and this is the only negative thing I can say. Because: The rooms are really new,fresh and beautiful.I had a room with small balcony.Extremely comfy bed,beautiful bathroom.Nespresso with complimentary coffee, full mini bar. The staff was very helpfull and extremely nice,they will manage everything you need. Breakfast are small but it is enough,be sure to try their home made cheese pie and pepper pie.Perfect! The area is also very nice,it is next to park and great restaurants and shopping area. I will be definitely back when the renovation will be done.It is really very nice boutique hotel with high quality.

The Semiramis was such a wonderful surprise! I've been to Athens many times, but brought my friend this time, who's never been. My friend's one requirement was a great pool area, so after searching all of the Marriott properties in the Athens area, I ended up selecting this one. From check-in to check-out and everything in between, this hotel proved to be excellent. The Semiramis is an unusual and eclectic hotel, but manages to feel high-end and stylish. If you stay here, you have to love pink! The incredible pool area was the highlight. There are so many places to lie out and plenty of opportunity to get sun or shade. William, the server, was absolutely amazing! He couldn't do enough for us and he was so sweet! We still talk about him and miss his kindness. There is also a great fitness center. It was surprisingly well-equipped for a hotel of this smaller size. Breakfast was included in my rate, but this was the only disappointment. The food was not very appetizing and there wasn't a varied selection. But breakfast was brightened up by the amazing William! Reception staff were all so kind and helpful. The rooms are fun and super comfortable. My room was immaculately clean and the cleaning lady was so lovely! The small balcony in even the basic room was very welcome. I really appreciated the wine and welcome note left for me by management. This hotel is located in Kifissia, which itself is a cute area to shop and eat. We went into Athens each night for dinner and it was a cheap and easy 20 minute Uber ride. This hotel is a great and affordable option for people who want to visit Athens, but not pay the exorbitant costs of the city hotels in the summer. I absolutely loved this hotel and will definitely be back.

The minute you walk into this Hotel you are greeted by the most friendly staff that make you feel so welcome. They are a big assist to this hotel with their outstanding customer service. Thank you to Chris, Panos , Theodore on reception.Also a big thank to your lovely ladies, Monica, Kings & Katetina. I Apologise if I have left anyone out but everyone has been fantastic and we can't thank you enough. The cleanliness of this hotel is superb and the rooms are spotless with beautiful decor and very stylish furnishings with ambient surroundings. Breakfast is ideal with plenty of choices for everyone. Various breads,cereals, juices, yogurt , a wide selection of fresh fruit, cheeses, meats and small pies & pastries. The Hotel is located in a quiet street that Is lined with spectacular trees. It is situated in a very nice area and just a short walk you are in the middle of . Chalandri. Very close to Restaurants you are spoilt for choice to sample really nice food. Also there is a supermarket is close by. We were so pleased to have chosen this Hotel and would definitely return if we visit Athens again. I have no hesitation in recommending this Hotel to all our friends and family. You are very unique! As big thank you to all.

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.

We chose this hotel for our last night in Greece due to it’s proximity to the airport. What we found is a secret little gem! It is like stepping into Bali. The hotel is decorating great and the staff could not be more accommodating. I can’t quit taking pictures! The breakfast is minimal but sufficient. If you want more there is a bakery across the street. Don’t let the location fool you , our room was very spacious with separate rooms for the toilet and walk in shower. Our room also had a large round tub and a couch. You cannot beat this place for the price. I also found a couple items for purchase in the boutique.

#Praise# for the room lighting, mosquito control measures, room size, cost-effective, location, security satisfaction; the room is very clean, the stay is very convenient, the lighting is very good, very close to the Acropolis, the reception brother is very handsome, the service is very thoughtful, really good, next time I come to continue to live here.

The room is large, about 100 square meters, and you can cook and eat. Because I was not familiar with it at first, I took a lot of unnecessary steps before I found the supermarket. After getting familiar with it, I discovered that there are several supermarkets within 5 minutes, some big and some small. Just not open on Sundays. It is very convenient to take a taxi to the city center, the beach or Piraeus Port, and the most expensive taxi fare is only 10 euros. The boss was super nice and gave us baskets of fresh oranges for juice. Highly recommended.

I really liked the hotel. Clean, new, modern, delicious breakfast. For those looking for a relaxing holiday. There is little entertainment. It would be more fun if there was music by the pool. Nevertheless, I really liked it, depending on what one expects from the hotel. There is no special entertainment around
