The hotel is old but very clean, with nice staff. The area is a regular downtown, big city area, so not very touristy but fine otherwise. There are several cafes/bakeries around to buy a cheap breakfast plus a tasty gyro place very close by. Subway is one block away as well, but it's walkable to the Parthenon (30 min)

The Team were lovely, very friendly and welcoming. The Hotel itself is centrally located and easy to get to anywhere from there It is quaint but probably needs a lock of paint to modernise the hotel as the decor is a bit dated. Front Street rooms can be noisy, but that’s more of an Athens traffic problem than a Hotel problem

During my stay at Ares Athens Hotel, the cleaning staff took my personal towel from my luggage (much better quality than the old, worn-out ones they provide). I placed their used towels on one side of the room and my own towel on top of my suitcase, clearly separate. When I came back, my towel was gone. Reception staff admitted it was likely sent to laundry “by mistake,” but never took responsibility and refused to involve the manager. Later they denied everything and claimed I “probably lost it.” Completely unacceptable – my belongings were taken without consent. To make matters worse, the facilities were in terrible condition: dirty, worn-out towels, poorly maintained rooms, and unhelpful staff. I had to escalate this through Hotels.com, who finally refunded me as a gesture of goodwill – not the hotel. That says everything about how this property treats its guests. ⚠️ Be warned: what you save in price, you lose in safety, cleanliness, and peace of mind. I stayed here because I had no option but I thought it would be good but I was totally mistaken. Spend a little more and stay somewhere honest and professional.

It was a good location and close walking distance to all the tourist attractions. Staff was friendly and check in and out was quick. When I booked this hotel the pictures online look more luxurious than it was. The bed had lost its cushioning and I would feel the springs as I slept.

Inexpensive and close to Metro

Would I stay here again knowing what I know? No. Would I recommend to a friend? No. We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights. We booked on Hotels.com. We wanted a place that was close to a Metro station and that was inexpensive. The hotel ticks both of the checks. Everything else about the hotel was horrible. The shower did not have a proper surround at its bottom so you end up getting water all over the bathroom floor. The towels must be air drying and washed without using softener as they were “crusty.” There were stains on the walls and floors from previous guests that had not been properly cleaned. There were broken handles on doors. The bed was very uncomfortable and the pillows were horrible. The hotel tried to do some updating in the room by adding some bed lights. However in doing so they used exposed screws so if you had an adapter you could not use the electrical socket (see my picture of this). There was no safe. And it was loud - not just from the traffic outside but from stuff going on inside the hotel - and I’m talking late at night (2:00am). Thankfully we did not get bedbugs, mostly due to the fact that we slept above the covers in full sweat pants and tops. It is in a sketchy part of town with lots of graffiti. However, it is a short 10 minute walk to the Plaka. We did not feel unsafe when we walked there.

Good hotel for the price - shower-head isn’t mounted properly, beds are very firm, but overall a decent place to stay. Air conditioning was great. Located a 10 minute walk from touristy areas, decent neighborhood.

Any business that cannot even spell its name properly is not ready for business. They hotel was stuffy. We booked 3 nights and stayed 2. We spent the entire day out, and came back to no lights in the corridor and no lights in our room. We were provided other accomadations, however the following morning attendant accussed us of causing the outage. The Audacity.

For the money, GREAT!

For the money! Just AWESOME... Main reason why we picked this hotel is because of the front desk 24/7. Super close to the train. Short walk. We weren't expecting much for the price but this was really a welcome treat. The room even had a mini fridge! We will stay again !
