Zafolia Hotel - Athens, Greece 

very nice hotel
Posted: Thu, Nov 01 2007
modern, well-appointed, very clean, great service, fluent English. it's a little less than 10 minutes walk to the National Arch. Museum, about 15 minutes to Plaka district. Gyro shops and bakeries all around, particularly to the east on Alexander Ave or SW on Hippocrates St. I refused to pay the 10-euro fee to use the internet, my one big beef about this hotel.

Not first choice

We stayed at the Zafolia at the beginning and end of a Globus Classical Greece tour. The location is not convenient. We did walk to the the metro (about a 15 min. walk) and to the National Archeological Museum (20-30 minute walk downhill). The restaurant was pricey, but there are affordable restaurants in the area (especialy Alexandras). Our room was on the street side and it was very noisy at night with heavy traffic, motorbikes, ambulances. The shower was hazardous----very narrow, sloped sides, and no non-slip surface. Breakfast buffet was not the most complete one we had on our tour, but sufficient. If we return to Athens, I would not choose this hotel.
