Great hotel but not a great location
The hotel is very good. Staff very friendly especially in the bar and cleaners. Breakfast was excellent with lots of variety . The pool area was good . The actual location of the hotel isnt that great and can be a bit intimidating which is a real shame. However Taxis and uber are cheap and plentiful so use them especially at night.

Great Service
George was excellent. We had a bit of a mix up with our reservation due to my error with the online booking. He was able to sort this out and also upgraded our room for free. Very much appreciated.

Comfortable hotel
We had a lovely time at the Novotel in Athens. Comfortable room with great shower. The cleaning service was good and all the staff very friendly.
Don’t listen to reviews from others regarding the dodgy location. We were concerned after reading them, but staying here we felt safe as a family and it’s very easy and cheap to catch Ubers.
We would definitely come back

The hotel was close to the Acropolis, Museum, and Monastiraki. The rooftop pool was beautiful but we didn’t have a chance to use it. The restaurant food service is very slow but the food was good. We enjoyed our stay here with our family.

2 Night Family Stay
2 nights in Athens. Hotel was clean and efficient. Only negatives were that the rooms were cramped for a family of 4, with the children’s sofabed blankets being too thin and the buffet breakfast was too busy and chaotic. However, overall was a pleasant experience.
