Athens Zafolia Hotel

The hotel exceeded my expectations. I stayed on the fifth floor heading to the main street. Sound isolation is very good, there was no noise from the street and the view to Mount Lykavittos was also nice. The window can be opened, if needed, A/C is working well. The room was pretty standard, modern look, deposit safe large enough for laptop, enough storage space for clothes, a small desk to work and a chair to relax, mini-fridge and kettle with daily added tee and instant coffee (and small bottle of water) were available. Maybe, there could be more electric plugs for charging. WiFi is working smoothly anywhere in the hotel. Breakfast was great, buffet style, with eggs at various styles, toasts, bacon, cheeses, salami, olives, cucumber, tomatoes, cereals, fruits, two sorts of juice, various coffees, tees, pastries etc. Easy to choose what you want. Since 6:30 till 7:00, cold breakfast was available for early birds. For relaxation, there is a small pool on the roof. It is quite deep (1.5-2m) so not for small kids, opens at about 11am, a few sunbeds for sunbathing are available for free (towels available there as well), and great views of Athens. The location itself may not seem that attractive, but metro station is about 10 mins walking (direct connection to airport and historical city center) and (trolley)bus stops are in front of the hotel. Supermarket is available across the street. Mount Lykavittos (great views) is right in front the hotel (you need to walk there, quite steep, about 25mins, as the funicular is from the other side of the hill). Syntagma square is about 25 mins walk and National Archeological Museum is also like 20 mins walk (but this museum was a bit disappointment with many rooms closed). Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful; check-in and check-out was smooth. Briefly, speaking, I was very pleased by my one-week stay there.

Excellent customer service from the lady on reception, she was knowledgeable and very helpful sharing information about the city, travel, shops, busses etc. The room was clean and the roof pool was much needed in the August heat! The breakfast had a broad selection and plenty for our vegetarian family to enjoy too. The sunset from the roof is good too

very clean, great staff, great selection for breakfast, loved the roof top pool

2 connected badrooms that were perfect to accommodate my family (2 kids). Restaurant with excellent food and very nice people. Pool area very good.

Everything went smoothly. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The hotel restaurant is very good value for money. The swimming pool was not crowded and we were able to enjoy it in the best conditions.
