ATHENS STUDIOS
Hotel situado en el centro de Atenas, cerca de la estación de metro de Akropoli, entre los distritos de Plaka y Koukaki.
Estudios, apartamentos de lujo, albergues… todo tipo de establecimientos para satisfacer a familias de vacaciones, turistas, hombres y mujeres de negocios o mochileros. La oferta es amplia y se amplía cada año. Athens Studios está ubicado en el centro, a pocos metros de la boca del metro Akrópoli, entre los barrios de Plaka y Koukaki, ambos muy agradables. Cuenta con una gran azotea con vistas a la Acrópolis y con dos bares. Las habitaciones son sencillas y limpias. El personal es muy agradable. Además, ofrecen servicios complementarios y prácticos: guías, excursiones, deportes… Y como si eso no fuera suficiente, le pueden guardar el equipaje, tiene una lavandería disponible 24 horas, abierta a los no clientes, y el Fish Café, también muy popular. En resumen, una verdadera agencia de viajes alternativa.
Upon arrival, we were dismayed to find that our room lacked air conditioning. Despite the discomfort this caused, we were further frustrated by the absence of phones in the rooms to contact reception. The inconvenience was exacerbated by the trek to the reception area, only to find it unmanned most of the time. It became apparent that the entire facility was managed by just one person, whose demeanor could be described as rude at times.
While there were moments of respite when Maria (not the one with tattoos) was on duty, interactions with other staff members left much to be desired. The breakfast offered resembled more of a hostel fare, and to add insult to injury, almost every item apart from eggs and bread incurred additional charges.
Furthermore, the hotel's location atop a bar meant that noise levels were intolerable, especially during soccer game nights when the revelry continued until the early hours of the morning.
In summary, my stay was marred by inadequate amenities, poor service, and a lackluster dining experience. I would caution potential guests against expecting the luxury and sophistication promised by the hotel's facade.
