Poseidon Athens Hotel

:Breakfast had good selection and nice omelette station - good start into the day :) Tram nr. 6 stops across the road and drives direct to a station close to Acropolis and Plaka. Takes around 30 min. Airport bus nr. X96 stops in front of the hotel. Perfect place to stay in Athens if you want to have relaxing time but easy access to the city center.

The hotel has several points very strongly in its favour: it can be reached by bus from the airport (the X96) and there is a tramline opposite the hotel to get to the city centre of Athens. There are lovely views out across the bay from the rooms and the sunset view from the restaurant on the 7th floor is especially spectacular. The breakfast selection is good, as is the menu choice at the rooftop restaurant for evening meals. Opposite the hotel is a beachside restaurant and a bar. You can swim from the beach opposite the hotel (or watch others in the early morning sun!). All the staff are courteous and helpful.

A lot of good things about this place, and i would definitely recommend it. It feels a way better than a 3 star hotel. Staff are really nice, breakfast was great (many options and fresh), location just across the sea and tram station if you need to go to city Center. Very clean and nicely laid out. The restaurant upstairs has a great view. Really worth the money!!

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism by the staff. Our room was spacious, impeccably clean, and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the view from the balcony was simply stunning! The breakfast was diverse and delicious, with plenty of fresh options for everyone. We especially enjoyed the high-quality pancakes. The pool added an extra touch of relaxation to our stay – exactly what we needed to unwind.

The room was great, with a balcony with chairs, on which I could smoke. Always well cleaned. The breakfast was very good with freshly cooked omelettes available, although the hot food kept under the heater lights, such as bacon, scrambled eggs and susages could have been warmer. They happily heated my choices through in their microwave. The cold collation was superb, cold meats, cheeses and various sweet and savoury pastries etc. Good filter coffee, fruit juice and Greek coffee available. The rooftop pool area was good, the pool a decent size and shape, and you could smoke while sunbathing or while having a cold beer at the bar. They also serve food from the all-day menu there. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The beach is a five minute walk across the road and has sun-loungers available for an extra charge. The sea is warm and the slope from a shingle beach into the water quite shallow. Easy to get in and out! The hotel has a beach bar and taverna there in which you can charge to your hotel bill. Also across the road, directly opposite the hotel is Edem tram stop, about a 20 minute journey into the centre of Athens or the same in the other direction to Glyfada centre. Trams also go to Piraeus. A five-day travel card for for all public transport (bus, tram and metro), except to the airport, costs 8.50 euros. There is also a good supermarket next door, although like most shops in Greece it does not open on a Sunday. All in all a great place.
