 | Marina Hotel Athens: Moderately priced and convenient

Basically, I used the hotel room only to sleep. To this purpose, it was OK - airconditioned, clean sheets, normal bathroom. The room was somewhat small, but I did not care, as I did not spend much time in it.
The hotel is in a somewhat backwater quarter, but it is very close to Omonia Square. From there you can get to any part of Athens. On the other hand, Omonia Square is not exactly the place you want to walk around in the middle of the night (assuming that you return from the Acropolis or Plaka, as I did). I hasten to add, that I never felt in danger, even in the small hours, but still it felt a little bit...uncomfortable.

 | Marina Hotel Athens: Good Hotel -- Bad Neighborhood

This is the toughest hotel I have had to review in more than 30 countries. The reason is that the hotel is quiet clean and comfortable – even safe, once you are inside. However, it is located in a very seedy neighborhood. If this hotel were located elsewhere, I would highly recommend it as a good budget hotel. The room was small, but that was fine for my needs. The staff was friendly and professional. They kept the hotel spotless. However, there is the question of safety. While never feeling directly threatened, I did not feel very comfortable in the immediate surroundings of the hotel up to and including the Omonia Metro station. So here is my recommendation – If you can get a room closer to Plaka at the same rate, jump all over it. If you are a going as a group (with males), this place will suffice. I would not recommend this to single or a couple of women or even for a male-female couple. I think it would be best to try elsewhere. I find this difficult to rate this hotel this way because as I said in the opening, the hotel itself was clean, quiet and comfortable.
