Athens Cypria Hotel

We just returned from 3 weeks in Greece. It was our 1st trip for our kids, ages 7 and 5. My husband and I haven't been for 11 years, although I have been 5 times total. Usually we stay with family, but since there were 10 of us traveling from the US, we stayed in hotels. I chose the Athens Cypria based on a review in Frommer's Greece and because of all the positive reviews on Trip Advisor. The Athen's Cypria did not dissappoint. We had one room for our family of 4 and one for my sister's family of 4. The location was great,... more

I stayed at this hotel for one night on July 1st. Firstly, let me say that there is grade inflation on this site -- you have to realize that a 4 or 5 score has to be considered within the price category. There is no way this kind of hotel can be compared with a five-star hotel -- I gave it a 4 rating but that's considering its price. For the money, this was a good choice. BUT, do not expect a high-end hotel. I paid 72 Euros which included breakfast. For that, I got a very small room and a bathroom that had toilet, sink, and shower... more

I just returned from three separate 2-night stays at the Hotel Cypria in Athens and was very pleased with it. The desk clerks were extremely helpful, friendly, and responsive. The rooms were large (by European standards) and very clean. Beds were firm but quite comfortable. The breakfasts were varied and tasty (the bacon was virtually raw, but this was the case in all 5 hotels I stayed in while in Greece). You can't beat the location of the hotel - it's within walking distance of everything yet in a quiet area. The only problem I had... more

Corruption in Greece at its best, hotel management with exteeme hostile attitute. When I notified the manager that some valuable personal belongings where stollen and I was suspecting a staff member, the responce was uncivilised and agressive.

Everything everyone has said is true. I would recommend this hotel and stay there again myself. Great location, nice breakfast, helpful staff. The walk from the train station to the hotel is uphill and it took us longer than 3 minutes and what was a 37 degree day. Going to the train station is probably better as it's down hill. The clothes shops are great and the markets in the area are great for picking up presents. Taxi to the airport was about 26 euros. I wish I'd asked for a room with a view. The hotel... more

Of the 3 hotels at which we stayed in Greece, this was my favorite. The location, price (through priceline-europe[--]) and accomodations were great. The hotel is not too far from Syntagma Square (although make sure you get directions before you go because the ones that come with the voucher/confirmation are terrible) and just a short walk to Plaka/the Acropolis. I am not much of a shopper but I loved the shopping in this area. . .there are many trendy stores and cafes just outside of the hotel. We stayed in one of the just-completed new... more
