We were very impressed with this hotel. The value is excellent. The staff are all very professional, helpful and polite and the property is clearly very well maintained. We will be back.
The pool was outstanding! Rooftop, nice view of the surroundings and an actual nicely sized pool. It’s a giant plus. Everything about the hotel and property was really outstanding!
The hitel qas very nice, pool was great with roof top pool. A little distance from center of town but taxi not expensive.
Staff was helpful, breakfast very good.
Really well presented hotel with a nice lobby, large room, and big rooftop with gorgeous views over the city. Doors not too sound proof but everything else was! Definitely would stay here again, lovely staff as well.
Property was great and clean. Staff was helpful and courteous. A little away from the main area but still close enough. All was good with amenities would stay here again
The hotel is very clean, updated with a nice pool on roof. All the staff are helpful a d polite. A little distance from center but cab was 6 euros. Counld see the Parthenon and highest mount in area.
Lovely hotel. Staff were very nice and helpful. Gret breakfast with lots of options. Lovely rooftop swimming pool but it was quite deep. 100% recommended.
Nice family stay at Zafolia Hotel. The family room we stayed in was essentially 2 connected rooms so we had lots of space, 2 bathrooms and a balcony - which was great. The pool on the rooftop was also lovely (albeit the water was a bit cold.) The staff were very nice and helpful. The hotel is a bit dated though and the location is about 35-40 minute walk from the city center so we ended up taking lots of taxi rides (about 5-7 EUR to get to or back from the city center)
Friendly reception staff, happy to help. Rooms clean and spacious. The only downside for me is that there were no parasols to lie in the shade in the pool area. Apart from that, everything was great.
Some issues at checkout where we were given one room when the booking was for two despite querying one room card and stating booking was for two rooms. Felt a bit misled.
Hotel is a bit dated but the rooftop has a nice view and the pool staff are very nice.
Lovely hotel lobby. Busy street but main intersection in Athens. Need taxi/transit/car to get to sites but doable.
Our a/c was not really working well and although changed our room it was to a smaller room, not an executive room like we booked. A/c no better. They did provide a fan which made sleeping bearable in the scorching weather. Although staff were accommodating, perhaps upgrading room to a better room would have been a good choice for customer satisfaction.
Breakfast, bar and pool bar good. Pool deep and getting in/out difficult for older/younger folks. No shallow end.
Overall the hotel is a good choice if a/c improved
It’s a nice, if slightly dated hotel, centrally located but on a busy stretch of road so not quite the picturesque Athenian resort, however it is more than fine for business travel, just be aware there are no irons in the rooms.
Lovely hotel with great rooftop pool area. We used the hotel for 1 night after our flight had been deferred for 24 hours. Excellent breakfast and good sized rooms. Reception staff were really helpful. Only down side is limited dining options in the area in the evening but you could take a taxin to the busier parts of the city.
