Saint Andrew Tours

OK...first the hotel was decent. The morning breakfast was great. The room was clean (however the bathroom door handle fell off). The hotel desk folks were not the warmest or welcoming. The elevators were kind of wonky-some times they worked sometimes they didn't. Now, when I booked the room I had not looked at the area around the hotel - when I finally got around to looking at the street view I was very dismayed. The area did not look safe. I also started to read reviews that solidified what I saw. I knew I couldn't get a refund so I kept the reservation. Here's the thing, not only is the area around Boss Boutique really bad, ALL of Athens is in the same state! I think anywhere you book a room will be in or very near a bad area. So, not the hotels fault. I overheard the hotel receptionist arguing with someone on the phone and she stated "all of Athens is like this, it is a very poor city". So hard to believe that a place that is a major tourist area could be so downtrodden. Sad.

Really great central location, but because it's tucked away down a side street you don't feel like you are so central. Terraces also get sun all afternoon.

Good hotel with plenty of dining options right outside. Close to all the touristy spots. Everything walkable
