NOISY, NOISY, NOISY!
N37°58'35.2" E23°43'32.2" The location of the 360Degrees Hotel is perfect, very close to the Monastiraki metro station, within walking distance from the main historic sites, bars and restaurants and a 40 minutes blue line 3 metro ride from the airport. According to TripAdvisor’s reviewers, the staff is helpful and the rooftop breakfast is good. There is only one major problem: noise inside and outside the hotel.
Many reviewers complained about the noise from the Monastiraki Square, especially the noise from drums until early in the morning. Read their reviews. The hotel rooms do not have effective sound isolation for outside noise. A second source of noise is the public rooftop bar. Outside guests on their way to the rooftop bar make of lot of noise and the loud music can be heard inside the hotel. Some guests have had to flee their noisy hotel room in the middle of the night.
The 360Degrees Hotel has a much better option: their new 360Degrees Pop Art Hotel in the Miaouli side street near the hotel: an office block recently been converted into a hotel. The same excellent location and helpful staff. For breakfast, you have to join the sleep-deprived guests at the 360Degrees Hotel on their rooftop restaurant.
Due to the coronavirus epidemic in September 2020, the few hotel guests of the 360Degrees Hotel and the 360Degrees Pop Art Hotel were transferred to the sister hotel A for Athens on the Monastiraki Square. Their rooftop nightclub pumps out loud music until 4am into the hotel rooms with no sound proofing. You have...
Read moreThis review is for the restaurant. The view is phenomenal! We booked in advance and requested the first table facing the Acropolis. It did not disappoint! However, the service and food was substandard. Due to many dietary constraints, I had checked the menu online, and determined my choice in advance. When we got there, the menu was completely different, and when I asked about the beef brisket, the waiter became quite rude saying they’ve never had beef brisket. I told them no problem, I’d find something else. Since neither my sister or I drink alcohol and asked for just water, the attitude of the wait staff became even worse. We went right to the main course and ordered the “Premium Cuts” which was a bone-in sirloin and some potatoes for €42. The steak was small and cooked exactly as ordered. However, we both noted they were fairly tasteless and had lots of gristle. The potatoes were boiled baby russets — unseasoned. We were never served bread or asked how everything was or even given a refill of our water. Instead, we were reminded there was a minimum (which I knew when we booked our table was €50), and our bill so far was only €86. Therefore, we quickly ordered a dessert and more water. The dessert came, and it too was a huge disappointment. Plus, we still never got more water — which we were initially changed for and were willing to pay for more. All in all, the experience was highly disappointing — except for the view. Note: The first photo is the actual menu. The second is the one from...
Read moreIf you are looking for a hotel for either your first, second or 10th stay in Greece, I cannot recommend 360 hotel enough! Solo travellers or partners.
My love for Greece is solely due to the hotel, its staff and the time spent with them during my stay. The hotel is absolutely stunning, with the location being unprecedented. Walk out just a few steps and you're in the heart of the city, walk out on the roof bar and you have a view you will never forget of the Akropolis and surrounding areas.
The staff members, feel to me as if they are new family members. Each staff member made me feel cared for, from the bar to the restaurant to the receiption.
The rooms are superbly cool! The style and design they have undertaken with the rooms made me and my friend happy to stay in and relax after a long day of exploring.
Food from the restaurants was fantastic, likewise with the drinks with amazing vibes in the evening on the rooftop bar.
Walks to monuments and major tourist attractions were easily done, no transport needed just a short walk and a price for the convenience cannot be paid.
I'd like to thank the staff at 360 for giving me an unbelievable new years and helping me realise my love for the nation of Greece. Needless to say, I'll only be returning...
