Pergamos Hotel — Hotel in Athens

I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights in room 302. It's on an avenue in a central poor area in Athens but not really dangerous, 5' walking from the closer metro station. Quiet area, no bars or night clubs around, only mini-market, coffee and fast food stores. I was alone, I had a small room with a balcony, exactly what I needed. The room was clean, I only had a small prob, whenever I was leaving something edible uncovered, ants were gathering on it. I'm not sure if it can be fixed some way, I finally didn't pay much attention on it, I just put my food in the fridge afterwards and the ants disappeared, not even one in the whole room. The room was equipped with towels, shampoo, tv, a/c and all 1st needs. Cosy sleep, Media Strom mattress! The maid knocked my door on my 2nd day to ask me if I am alright or I need anything, a smiley kind woman. The receptionists could be kinda more energetic, like saying welcome, at your service, happy new year, (it was 1st days of the year), I can't call them rude anyway, they were helpful enough and they made no problem to me for staying a few more hours in my room during my check-in and check-out hours, I appreciate it. The one working night shift, kinda older age, just grumpy. I passed a heartbeat away from him at a quiet hour a.m., … not a smile, not a word, not even a glance, as if I was a passenger in the street, totally unprofessional. I'm not arrogant, I don't demand red carpets, I just prefer a humanly kind behaviour wherever I go as a guest or customer. I'd pleasantly stay in this hotel again n' i'll keep it in mind for my next...

It was my 2nd time in this hotel. The 1st time I gave an excellent rating coz my room was much better. This time (room 105) was also clean but generally just satisfying. The view from the small balcony (½ meter) wasn't good. The wc was also too small, cracked shower tray, and not a curtain at the shower unit, thus the whole place was getting soaked after a shower. Perfect wifi! When you get outta hotel you must deliver the key to the receptionist in a key ring which also holds the magnet that gives power at the room, hence there's no power in the room when you're away, but the fridge should be joined with a generator and work 24h like most hotels I've visited! The area is dirty, ONLY immigrants, people searching in the bins, homeless and some junkies, feeling you're in Bangladesh, but not really dangerous, I was feeling no fear even walking alone in the night. Full of mini markets and fast food stores, 5' walking to metro station, 15' to Syntagma – heart of Athens! Many parking lots by payment nearby, but you can maybe find a free space by searching nearby the hotel. In the evening it's much easier, even in front of the hotel! The staff, receptionists and maid kind and helpful. I arrived 2 hours before check-in time and they let me in at once without any extra charge, I appreciate it, thank you very much! I would...

As a young woman traveling alone, I felt extremely unsafe in this hotel and the surrounding areas. The smell of cigarettes is potent in the lobby and even worse in the rooms. When I asked to switch rooms because I had booked a non-smoking room, the receptionist assured me that the rooms were non-smoking, but the ashtrays in both of the rooms I tried suggested otherwise. I had a very unsettling encounter when I walked through the lobby to leave and was greeted by several men who stopped their conversation to stare at me as I left. I was also informed that guests have to leave their room key at the front desk every time they leave the hotel, which is extremely unusual and made me feel nervous about leaving anything in the room, let alone my laptop. ||I tried to stick it out as I was only supposed to stay two nights there, but the discomfort and lack of safety I felt both inside the hotel and walking around the neighborhood were overwhelming, and I quickly got to work finding myself new accommodations so that I wouldn't have to spend any more time there. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, especially women...
