Historical Traveler Reviews Aristoteles Athens
Excellent stay in Aristoteles Hotel
If it were possible to leave a 200% feedback for this hotel, I would. The staff go out of their way to help their guests and are very knowledgeable on anything the traveller needs to enjoy a visit to Athens to the full. It is a very clean hotel, rooms are with showers and TV. And it is very central, I would definitely recommend it.
Friendly and helpfull
We have just returned from a wonderful holiday . While in Greece we stayed at hotel aristoteles 3 times and were particularly impressed with mr Christos at reseption . He was friendly courteous and very helpfull. After travelling extensively throughout Europe it was refreshing to find a hotel manager who not only spoke exellent English but who was also knowlegable and helpfull .Each time we returned it felt as we had come home.
Many thanx for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
Aristoteles with Ups and Downs
I have spent 4 nights in Greece's capital in Hotel Aristoteles. It is also understood from other reviews that there is not a concensus whether people like the hotel or not. Well, there are good and bard parts whose importance determine whether one likes the hotel or hates it. Let me explain them as follows :
Good parts :
+ Very hospital and wellcoming staff : Special thanks to Christos. He taught us a few Greek words. We also had a chat with him regarding Turkish - Greek politics. :)
+ Very central location : Omonia square, Syntagma and even Acropolis is in walking distance.
+ The breakfast was okay, not open buffet but still fine.
Bad parts :
- The rooms are not so clean. My friend saw a bug in the toilet touring ... However, I can not accuse housekeeping as they were both serving the breakfast and cleaning the rooms ...
- The shower is so small. An a bit over-weighted person can not fit in there.
However, all these bad parts did not destroy our vacation. If you are not too much picky about the room quality [which is not a disaster], go ahead and book this hotel. However, this could be the best, you may get for the Euros you pay ...
For your information ...

Amazing hotel
This place was amazing! The staff was really helpful.
It's actually a two star hotel. It offers excellent tours around Greece for a reasonable price. It was the best place we have stayed at so far.
Perfect location
The staff are awesome, really friendly and helpful, breakfast is really good, location is perfect!!!
Not bad
Thank you very much for the friendly advice and help you gave us at the reception. We enjoyed our stay in Athens very much.
Terrible to stay in!
This hotel was my worst nightmare in athens, I met up with some friends from Europe and of our whole trip I must say we did not want to go to sleep there at night we took like 2 hours to try and make the a/c work. After we did, it was a challenge in trying to sleep in those military beds that I had never slept in my entire life. The door knobs were loose and their bar/computer center/lobby were all in in one! Very convenient for the owner and to top it off its in a bad side of Athens overall stay away from this "So called Hotel"
Avoid it like the plague
We stayed here during a 5 week trip through Europe and it was by far the worst place we stayed. It was noisy beyond description. The plumbing in the bathroom was third world. The bar that they boast on their website has been closed for 2 years because they haven't a license. THe double room we booked turned out to be 2 single beds. It was a rip off. Oh! and the credit card machine will probably be mysteriously broken so they'll only accept cash!?!
From what I remember the rates were inexpensive but do yourself a huge favour and spend an extra 10 euro to stay elsewhere.
Couldn't sleep
I'm usually not very fussy about hotels but I really didn't like this place. It was in a pretty scary area of town and it was noisy. The street noise never stopped (I don't think people in Athens ever sleep) and a car alarm went off for about 10 minutes at 4am. The clientele also had me concerned. There was one guy who kept banging on a door for an hour yelling "let me in". I was scared to leave the room. There were also people slamming doors all night. I coulnd't sleep. I was wishing I had paid a bit more and stayed some place quiet. On top of all this, the bathroom was disgusting and smelled.
Horrible Aristoteles Hotel
We were family of four. We booked a quad room. But we were given a double room with four beds in it. The whole room was full of beds side by side with about two feet of room at the ends of the beds and same space to get to the bathroom. The Hotel is clean but shabby and breakfast was just ok. I cannot recommend this Hotel and would never even think of stayimg there again. horrible.

Free breakfast. New flip flops (hopefully not the blister causing kind) for Gabi and sight seeing.
Was flipping hot when we went up to the Acropolis. Saw the big Erectheion, Parthenon
and Propylea. On the way up was the theatre of Dionysus and the Odeon
of Herodes Atticus, saw the whole of Athens from the top AMAZING
