Zafolia Hotel Athens - Athens, Greece     

Very clean hotel with nice rooms. The rooms were larger than other hotels we have stayed at in Europe. Great shower! The beds were very comfortable. We had a room at the back of the hotel and it was very quiet. The reception staff was helpful and friendly. Overall everything was good. However, there were a few things we weren't thrilled about, but wouldn't keep us from booking here again. First, there were additional charges for everything, WiFi was 9 Euro an hour and only available in the lobby, but a movie/internet package could be purchased for 25 Euro for 24 hours in your room. Drinks and food were unreasonably priced, its better to buy food and drinks elsewhere. The pool was not as nice as I expected, it was very small and only had lounge chairs for about 6 people but tables were available. It was only open until 8 pm which wasn't very convenient. The acropolis can only be viewed at night in the distance from the very far corner of the rooftop. Ice was available, but the bar staff was very unhappy to give it out. We would stay here again, the hotel was nice.

We stayed at this hotel as part of a Globus tour. We were here three nights. While the hotel is away from the centre of the city it is possible to walk there. There are excellent shops in the area and a grocery store right across the street. I found a bakery over behind the grocery store and was convinced it was the best I ever visited. During our second stay I found an even better one by going up about a block and turning left. This is a great street with amazing stores.The restaurant in the hotel where we had our buffet breakfast was excellent and had an absolutly full presentation with something for everyone. We were on the front side and while it was a little noisy we enjoyed seeing all of the activity on the streets.
