Hotel Phidias
by littlesam1When I arrived I was told to not worry about the payment. The desk clerk told me to go out and enjoy the city, come back relax, and we could discuss the payment later. I was given a room on the second floor. The elevator was tiny but I was glad to see that there was an elevator so there was no complaint from me. The room was small but very clean. I was in the back of the hotel with the view of a small alley. The rooms in the front of the hotel have a beautiful view of the Acropolis. Each room had a private bath which once again was very clean and but accomodating.
The gentlemen who worked at the hotel desk were all friendly and all wanted to talk to us each day. They asked about our plans, what we had seen, etc. They made Mark and I very welcome. The night before we got ready to leave I finally paid my bill. They required cash and no credit cards. So be prepared to pay cash. I asked for a receipt. The man at the desk laughed out loud and said, "But if I give you receipt, I can't ask you to pay again tomorrow." He then slapped my back and laughed again.
If your looking for four or five star impersonal service this hotel is not for you. If you are looking for a discount in a clean small hotel with friendly service people then I highly recommend The Phidias Hotel.
