    Some streets in this area are a bit off-putting, but certainly not unsafe.

    Good location, very central, next to the metro. Room was fine, clean, with comfortable beds. Good breakfast included in the price, coffee and tea in the room. Good value for money.

    Even though in the morning the location was very nice, at night walking from the center on the paralel streets it didnt feel very safe for a young woman alone.

    The view of the restaurant at the rooftop. The staff in general but specially the bartender ( I forgot to ask his name). The room was very nice and the bed looked comfortable but I didnt got to sleep it was a short stay, i just lay down for a couple of minutes.

    Had some issues with getting the AC to go on at first. It did finally kick on, but just a heads up to ask the front desk if yours doesn't go on right away.

    Nice hotel close to the Metro station. The bed was comfortable, the continental breakfast was great, and the staff was really helpful and kind!

    The hotel is just right outside the metro station, 100 meters max. Has a beautiful bar/restaurant on the roof with an amazing view. Bed was comfortable, room equipped with a mini fridge, TV, and air conditioner. Breakfast was good with fried eggs and other stuff. For the price we paid it was a great option. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Would recommend

    Athens streetsounds are loud. This is something the hotel cant help. The neighbourhood is not very posche or chique but we never felt unsafe. Others might feel unsafe in the hotel neighbourhood but to us it was not an issue.The breakfast was okay but sadly a nice cappucino was missing; A quality hotel serves good coffee for breakfast !

    The beds, the balcony, the sound proof doors and windows, the friendly staff, the price . We found out that the price can vary considerably and we got the best deal !

    The only downside was the area surrounding the hotel, which felt a bit unsettling, especially at night.

    Although we initially booked our stay at the Crystal City Hotel, we were relocated to their sister property, Golden City Hotel, due to some unforeseen plumbing issues. While we didn't get to experience Crystal City first-hand, I must say our stay at Golden City was delightful. The rooms were very comfortable, with cozy beds and pillows that ensured a good night's sleep. Housekeeping was excellent, with our room cleaned daily and fresh towels provided each day. Breakfast was perfect, and we especially appreciated the warm hospitality from Spiridon. Dinner was also a highlight of our stay, thanks to Albert who made our dining experience memorable. Check-in and check-out were both smooth and hassle-free.

    We had a car which meant we could park it in the underground car park. What is not clear is why they charge you 10 Euros a day while you stay here but just be aware that they do and it might be cheaper to park elsewhere if you can. Additionally if you have a large vehicle the space is very tight and can be difficult to navigate the space.

    The facilities were fine and generally the staff were friendly. The rooms are ok although ours faced an aircon unit on the building opposite so from that perspective it wasn’t that nice. The TV and WiFi worked fine and the bathroom was a decent size with a great shower. The breakfasts had a great selection of food to choose from. The best part of the hotel is the roof top bar which gives you a view of the Acropolis (although only at one end of the terrace).

    Rooms need updating. Stain on the cover. Generally very tried aesthetic. Breakfast uninspiring.

    Very friendly staff. Location is good for metro (a couple of stops to the centre) and for the airport. Rooftop bar a real bonus.

    I got what I paid for. Maybe rooms can have a bit more space but again, this is Europe and this is not unusual. Plus we have our toddler so makes any room feel cramped with her toys everywhere.

    The best feat of this hotel is the location, access to public transport (2 minutes to reach the station by walk), the access to some good restaurants. We stayed here for 3 days and we were for the most part of Athens outside the hotel, exploring. And so, if this is your itinerary, I'd say go for it. Its a good value for money with good selection of breakfast.
