Novotel Athenes

Decently large rooms by European standards, nice view from the rooftop pool. Decent price, and comfortable bed. Pool hours are very limited, I figured I could go for a swim after being out for the day only to be told the pool closes around 1830. Presumably, they don't want to sacrifice the bar ambiance around the pool by people actually using the pool. And it didn't reopen until 9am in the morning, too late to be useful before needing to run out for the day. Typical terrible Greek hours. Very disappointed that the pool, one of the main reasons I booked the hotel, was 100% useless. You should consider it for show only. The hotel isn't in a bad area (by comparison to the rest of Athens), but the walk to the metro is not the most enjoyable and I kept an eye out for unsavory people. I was surprised to find a Novotel in such a residential area - nothing close by that you'd want to walk to (except the metro to head to a more interesting area). The view from the roof could be Lebanon or the Gaza Strip if you didn't see the Acropolis way off in the distance.

Very nice hotel! We enjoyed our stay and had an amazing time in Athens! It could have been a little closer to all the sites, or closer to the metro station. Next time we will probably stay in a hotel near the heart of Athens, so we wont have to use the subway as much.

clean quality service parking city center easy to find

We loved it!!! We needed a place to stay near the train station for an early train, and it was perfect!!!.. I decided to stay at the Novotel due to it being a name I was familiar with. And it was my familys favorite hotel!! The new rooms were just beautiful!!!! We were just disappointed that we checked in late, and had to leave early!!!..
