Adrian Hotel Athens: Review by a OneTime.com User from Dublin, Ireland

By erapple on May 10, 2005
My wife and I found this Hotel to be everything we needed:- friendly and efficient service, comfortable room (I found the shower head great when sitting on the ledge in the bath), effective cooling(important for northern europeans), quiet despite its central location, and needless to say, very clean. it was great to have an Irish bacon and eggs breakfast with such a stunning view. I would certainly recommend it to anyone except maybe some Americans who have difficulty distinquishing trappings from substance. last visit on May, 2005.
I've stayed there many times in the years before the Olympics, so I'm not sure what it's like now. The beds are quite uncomfortable-- very lumpy. The breakfast is nice. Somewhat helpful staff. Convenient location if you want to be in Plaka. Restaurants/cafes nearby. All the expected amenities are present. No spectacular views except from the breakfast terrace. I would not recommend this hotel strongly but it is not a bad place to stay. I do feel that it is very overpriced, and that would be my main reservation in recommending it to you.

The Roof Terrace
by YPie
First the good things about this hotel, it's located in the middle of Plaka, in the heart of the action and has a great view of the Acropolis from the roof terrace (where breakfast is served). The big downside for me was the bathroom. Just about adequate, possibly. There was a tiny bath (and I mean tiny) with a shower head. Nowhere to attach the shower head to the wall so you had to hold it during the shower. And the water ran cold very quickly. MAybe that's just Greece for you, but I've had far better than that in Greece before.
Other than that, it was probably nothing special, but was everything we needed (except a shower!) for our short stay in Athens.
Breakfast is great - a lovely view of the Acropolis and freshly squeezed orange juice.
