Marina Hotel Athens

The Marina Hotel is very basic for what you pay. The staff were very slack, but I must admit we had a laugh as we had to keep asking for things that were lacking in our room and they nearly exploded every time we did. You've gotta have a sense of humour to stay here. Don't go near breakfast, it's disgusting. The maids kept coming in our rooms early morning to clean and firing up their vaccum cleaners at 8am in the hallways. TV is crap, no cable. Location is good being walking distance to everything. Pay the cheapest rate you can to... more

The foyer is very impressive but there it ends!! Had the unfortunate experience of encountering unfriendly, unhelpful staff who suddenly lost the ability to speak English & make eye contact when faced with a complaint that our booked & paid for double room turned out to be a room with 3 single beds, all jammed together & not even adequate space to walk around or manouever our small suitcases OR open the fridge! We were forced to stand 1 bed on it's end when they refused to remove it or change our room just to be able to get into the room... more

First of all, I would like to completely agree with the american that has posted the 10th of June. My view of the management is exactly theirs! Not to mention the breakfast, exactly like they described it! Even worse, there were days where they didn't even care to put things like tomatoes or fruits, and the meat was almost uneatable! I smelled troubled from the minute we walked in. We'd ordered a double room, but we were given a twin one instead! When complaining, the desk clerk said that the room is the same (!) & he can't do a thing!... more

We arrived 2 days late due to Olympic Airways strike and although the hotel knew of our late arrival, they still denied any knowledge of the fact. Tha manager was very rude and not at all helpful and suggested we find an internet cafe to sort out our probems with our agents. We refused and he eventaully admitted that he had a booking . We were told to leave by the Thursday, although we were booked in untill the Friday. They are not really interested in any complaints as they know the next sucker will arrive soon. I must give them credit... more

I read some reviews here of people that expect a whole lot of a hotel room for a low price. The hotel is clean, you have air conditioner, tv, a fridge and breakfast. The breakfast is, like many hotels in Greece who charge the amount of money in this range, okay. The only thing not so pleasant about this hotel are the streets around it.
