The Stanley is a great hotel to stay at while visiting Athens. Here are some detailed notes about the property. Room: -Stayed in a room with twin beds -Bed was large and allowed us to both sleep comfortably (long enough for tall guests– I am 6-foot-2) -Bedding and pillows were very comfortable -In-room air conditioning was powerful and allowed us to sleep at a comfortable temperature–perfect for people who prefer to sleep cold -Balcony was large and featured solid views of downtown Athens, the valley/surrounding mountains -Curtains blocked most of the light, but if you are sensitive to light, bring an eye mask -Other room features: mini-fridge, safe for valuables, coffee maker Hotel/Amenities: -Amazing rooftop pool with stunning views of the Acropolis, downtown Athens, and sea/mountains on a clear day -Comfortable lounge chairs/beds at the pool -Huge restaurant/bar with amazing views -Elevators were a bit small and slow, so patience is sometimes required (also have stairs to all rooms if you prefer to walk) -Friendly hotel staff and cleaning crews -Relatively quiet rooms–did not hear neighbors, but the hallway can get a bit loud after 10 AM Location: -Hotel is located right next to the Metaxourgeio metro stop, which makes travel to major sites quick, easy, and affordable -Felt safe walking around streets at night, even though many surrounding buildings/streets appear rundown -Great bakery/coffee shop steps away from the hotel

Overall a good experience. Of the things that the hotel could control, they got mostly everything right. The staff were friendly and helpful in lots of ways, going beyond what was expected. The hotel internals were lovely and fresh and clean, the breakfast was a great spread, and the rooftop was pleasant enough. BUT the external area was shocking. The neighbourhood really let the whole thing down unfortunately, drug users, brothels, constant police sirens, men washing in the fountain outside the hotel, graffitti everywhere and bombed out looking buildings, made for an extremely poor and unsafe feel in the area outside, walking within the area at night didn't feel possible. Somewhat disingenously, the pictures of the hotel do not show the view out the front, not only is the accroppolis partly obscured by the Wyndham hotel, but as I say, the buildings opposite are ramshackle. I was so glad to find other parts of Athens that were well kept and had a warmer vibe, you just need to Scooter/Taxi to them.

On our second stay the room we stayed has a bathtub that is very narrow and not ideal for seniors. Need to hold on to a rail otherwise a fall is likelihood.

The room is compact but comfortable. The highlight is definitely the rooftop pool and restaurant with a beautiful view of the Acropolis. You could also watch the sunset from here. There is an ATM within the hotel if you need cash. They do charge one night of the room rate if you book on the same day though and still charge for the full stay when you check in so it is cumbersome to get a refund for the one night charge.

The rooms were clean. However there was a smell from the bathroom. We did not hear any noise from the other rooms or the corridor but there was noise from the street outside. The pool area was very nice and that’s what stood out including the views from up there, especially the Acropolis. The downside was that it was a bit cold to jump in the pool because of the month that we we went to. I chose this hotel because it stated that it had a heated pool.
