no wifi which is essential for us, 2 pcs upstairs always busy. other than that we have no problems with this hotel, would recommend it for any budget traveller.
This lovely hotel has very nice decor in the corridors and the entrance. The employees are exceptionally helpful as they helped me a lot on my first two days of visit in Athens. The room was a little bit disappointing as it was a bit dirty and dim. There were not much facilities in the room but should be enough for a short stay. And the hotel's accessibility enables tourists to roam the city via metro. For single ladies arriving late at night, do pay extra attention to the taxi drivers outside the metro station. It may be a bit difficult to find the location of the hotel at night and the taxi drivers may offer help, but in a sceptical way. The free internet service is a grreat bonus.
We were very happy about the relationship between location of the hotel and price which was very friendly in the low season. In winter time we can highly recommend Hotel Neos Olympos for travellers who don´t expect too much fun in the hotel. We aprecieted nonstop local pub nearby:)...very very local...
I only spent one night in Athens, alone, and had to wake up early in the morning so I did not need anything special. However, if you wish to have a pleasant stay, please note: (1) The hotel itself is nice but is located in a run-down area. If it is important for you to stay in an area where you feel secure (especially if you are a girl/woman traveling on your own), choose a hotel in a different area. (2) There is no elevator and the stairs are pretty steep. If you are traveling with heavy luggage, this place is not a good choice. (3) If you hope to sleep during the night, make sure you have earplugs. I am sure it depends on the customers but somebody sang in the next room until 4 a.m. (4) Note that breakfast is not included and that there is no Internet in the rooms, you have to go to the top floor (I personally haven't tried it). Conclusion: if you are a young male or a young couple traveling on a budget and with good earplugs, you may consider choosing this hotel.
