ST GEORGE LYCABETTUS HOTEL

I did not have a good stay here at this hotel for the price I paid I was left disappointed. Check in was 2pm we arrived early at noon hoping our room may be ready, it wasn't thats okay we were more than happy to wait we just wanted to get there and relax. Well we sat in the main lobby until 3pm as the staff was constantly checking other people in before us. It was so awkward seeing people come in and getting their room first. I felt because we were younger we got treated differently than those well in age. The staff gave us dirty looks and never bothered to assist us. The location in my opinion is the worst. We had one night in Athens before coming here and it was located downtown by the acropolis. This hotel is literally hour an hour away the Athens suburbs. Its not close to any attractions, or even restaurants for that matter. We had to walk downtown every single time we wanted a meal which was so annoying. Plus its up a huge hill which is not fun to walk! After our first night I noticed the housekeeping gave us a free bottled water in the room for convenience. I did not get one the second night so I went to ask for one at the front desk and told them I'm about to go on a big hike and he said he doesn't have water with him.. it was awkward again he could have easily just asked someone to grab a water from housekeeping. He said I could have a bottle one tonight only' Room was outdated and needs upgrades. I was paying over $1000 in total, they can add more work to it for sure! I'm speaking of the balcony which was dirty and paint chipped. The floors, bedding, and bathroom. Don't take the taxis from the hotel unless you like to blow extra money. I asked the front desk how much would a taxi be to one of Athens port as I had a cruise at 7am. The lady said it would be $50 and 45 minutes. I thought it was high so I called up the first company on google and he said its $24 and 30 mins or less. I guess they are working with taxi drivers to keep some profit. Pool only had maybe around 8 chairs or less scattered around the pool in weird locations. Definitely not enough for the whole hotel to enjoy never mind 3 parties. The elevators were incredibly slow and I usually had to wait 5 minutes before getting in since there are so many people at the same time. With 4 elevators it sucked waiting all the time. Next time in Athens I won't be wasting my money back here due to the staff, location, and maintenance.

I have been the guest of this hotel for almost 10 years now. I stay there about three time a year, for 4/5 days. I warmly recomnend this hotel to anyone is looking for a friendly, comfortable, amazingly located place to stay in Athens. It applies both for business or tourism. This boutique hotel, besides its breathtaking view on the city and the Acropolis, perfectly combines luxury and casual, the felling to be at home and the sophistication of a palace. I thank you all the team for their dedication to make all my stays there an unforgetable memory. Luc A. ALBY

I decided to select this hotel for all my business travels in Athens. The best of all is the location and the service in general. Also, the pool should be a very good idea for people. The room of breakfast has the best view on Akropolis! I think is a very good idea for lawyers who need to go to the Court and to find silence for their work. I am lawyer from Thessaloniki and I found it as a nice solution. Thank you!

Room was exellent, front desk personnel very friendly and helpful. The Concierge, Lilia, was one of the most friendliest persons I met. The lunch / brekfast box for my last day was prepared well in time and did satisfiy my Needs.

Too bad the details in the room where messed up. Poor cleanliness (compared to other 4/5 star hotels) small/poorly accessible bathroom. Excellent view, nice location also for nightlife. Service at the desk was nice, perhaps a bit puzzled by a backpack.
