Phidias Hotel

Hyvä sijainti, ystävällinen henkilökunta, monipuolinen aamiainen.

Rakennuksessa ei ole (?) äänieristystä. Kadun ja naapurihuoneiden äänet kuuluivat häiritsevän selvästi. Huoneessa oli viileää/kylmää erityisesti öisin. WC-istuimen ja lattian välinen tiiviste vuoti nestemäistä ja haisevaa tuotetta lattialle. Huomautin asiasta siivoojalle - ei merkitystä. Huoneen avaimet olivat ajoittain vartiotta respan tiskillä. Vuodevaatteissa oli tosi voimakas pesuaineen tuoksu. Booking`in oheispalveluista: varasin paluumatkan lentokenttäkuljetuksen heiltä. Matka sinänsä oli vauhdikas, mutta kun aiemmin olin menettänyt Visani metrossa, maksun hoitaminen on edelleeen tuskallista. Yritin sinivalkoista puhelinpalvelua, mutta ynseä vastaus oli, ettei vastannut henkilö tiedä kaikkia alihankkijoita." Koeta selvittää itse velkojasi!"- vain hieman liiotellen.

Upea sijainti, mukava parveke puiston laidalla.

Several good things about the hotel: - The location was superb. Close to the metro (we arrived late at night, so didn't have to walk far in the dark), close to all attractions on foot, the neighbourhood felt safe and reasonably well-lit. - There was a lift, the bedding/towels in the room were very clean, the room itself was clean. - Kettle, cups, soap, etc. all present. - All breakfast food was yummy and slightly different every day, so had new things to try. - The room is air conditioned, and it was able to cope with the heat just fine. - Nice spacious balcony (that would overlook Acropolis if it wasn't for the trees in the way)

A few things: - The room desperately needs more furniture, there is plenty of space for it. At least a second bedside table and something to put the suitcase on. All we had was a chair and a stool in the corner (that we used as a second bedside table). A suitcase holder and another stool would be the right amount. - The bathroom needs a shelf for toiletries (over the top of the toilet is not the best place, and it's quite small). Also, bathroom door needs hooks (it's hard to get a big wet towel on a narrow rack without making the other person's towel all wet). - The breakfast is cold. The food is delicious, but every item is cold, including all 3 types of eggs, sausages, etc. A bit disappointed that when we saw a better room on booking.com after we had booked, we messaged the hotel and asked to swap, but the hotel wouldn't honour the price listed on booking.com and would only change reservation if we paid more. Luckily booking.com were fab about it and refunded us the difference, so in the end we got the room we wanted for the price we wanted. A slight suggestion to the hotel about breakfast... Things like jellies and pudding were all generous portions in large bowls. We wanted to try some, but weren't sure we'd like it and felt bad for potentially having a few bites and leaving the rest behind. Smaller portions on those would go a long way in letting people try those items.
