Poseidon Athens Hotel

The hotel has an excellent location – right in front of the beach with shops nearby, and it’s very convenient to call a taxi as it is on the main road. A marina port is also within a short distance. The reception staff, especially Christina, was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good, and the hotel also offers a rooftop pool and a restaurant. However, the rooms are quite small and noisy when you open the door. Cleaning could be improved – sometimes there was an unpleasant smell, possibly from using old cloths. Important note: If you are traveling with a 7-year-old child, I highly recommend booking a triple room. We had some inconvenience as we were given a double room with an extra bed, which caused unnecessary stress for the first couple of days. Overall, it’s a good hotel with a great location and nice facilities, but rooms are small and cleanliness could be better.

The location was good and the Tram into Piraeus which is where we needed was good! Comfy beds and pillows. Quiet 5th floor room! Breakfast excellent! Staff all very kind and helpful. Nice pool with great cocktails and snacks . Beach restaurant was very good with a beautiful sunset view.

The hotel is in a great location, literally a street separates it from the beach and all transport routes, you can get anywhere in an instant! There is a lot of noise from the cars and there is a lot of traffic, but no sound enters the room when the terrace door is closed. The rooms are clean and have everything you need to enjoy yourself, the view of the sea is phenomenal from the room but also from the top of the hotel with a phenomenal bar. The breakfast is varied but the food is honestly not very tasty, my suggestion is to have breakfast in the surrounding bakeries, the selection of pastries is truly phenomenal and the bakeries are located about 500 meters away. The restaurant on the 7th floor is very nice with very tasty food from the menu, the staff is very kind and helpful, the highest praise for them!

Lovely hotel, nice room and staff. Upstairs from the pool area there is a nice place to sunbathe, read and take in the view of the sea. Plenty of choice at breakfast, really delicious. Complementary wine and water in the room along with mini jars of honey which was a nice touch. Tram station opposite the hotel which is cheap and easy to use, stay on until the last stop (about 35-40min) to get to the parliament building, botanical garden and easy walk into plaka. Get off few stops before that for a 10 min walk to acropolis entrance. Nice cafe and beach area belonging to the hotel across the road. Sunloungers come with a towel at half price for hotel guests if show your key card €7.50each oct 24. The sunsets over the mountains across the sea from here which was nice to watch.

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.
