Bob W Akadimia Athens

If you think that you booked a regular hotel let me tell you this isn’t an hotel. This a a smooshed version of an hotel and an Airbnb. No staff, no contact , no service. You’re all by yourself. No idea how this place got 4 stars cause it’s barely a 2 stars at best as it is now. 1- unlocking the door. If you don’t have a smartphone, if you don’t have data and no battery well you won’t be able to access your room. If you’re not fluent in English as well forget the access to the room. Owner send you an internet link to access the room that unlock the door. No key no card here. 2- cleaning. Haven’t been done for the whole stay. We don’t really know why. We slept late only one day but the rest we always left early.. no cleaning.. looking at it closely it seems that the cleaning lady live in the basement and is all by herself to clean the entire building.. this isn’t humanly possible.. 3- automatic messages from owners feel like you’re just here to feed the place money. This is feeling so impersonal. We also have been spammed to review 5 stars when we barely arrived. I just got here how can I tell you if your hotel is worth 5 stars. 4- about our room… we got a room with a gigantic exit sign on top of the door, the room being the size of the bed it was so bright the whole night… impossible to sleep most of the night. And there was some kind of black tape on it ( not from us oc) no idea is this is even legal as it is..? 5- the lobby. The lobby isn’t separated at all from the stairs to access the rooms. And the staircase is a perfect sounds emplifier. We can ear literally everything happening in the lobby ground level floor ( and we were 4th floor…) so adding that to the light in the room well nearly impossible to sleep. TLDR: please be more honest about what is really booked here, it’s not an hotel it’s a giant Airbnb. Sounds proof the lobby from the rest of the rooms. Don’t spam with review request when people just arrive. And don’t pretend this as 4 stars. If you do all those changes it would probably be a 3 at best.

Just wrapped a week long stay and I’m glad I chose this spot. It’s I what is probably my favorite part of Athens - walking distance to basically everywhere I could want to go. The room was modern and clean and comfortable. Staff was warm and friendly. The only issue was the lack of control of the AC - the first night I couldn’t get any sleep because nobody knew how to fix it. It was so hot! But thankfully by 2nd day one of the staff managed to fix it. I’d definitely stay here again next visit.
