What guests think

At Faros I, travelers consistently praise the friendly, accommodating staff, the clean, recently refreshed rooms, and the convenient, walkable location near Piraeus port and metro links, making it a popular pre- or post-cruise stop with good value.

Rooms are often compact with very firm mattresses, and some street-facing rooms can be noisy. A few guests reported cigarette smoke odors in rooms or corridors. On-site dining, especially the paid breakfast, is widely described as tasty and reasonably priced. Expect a simple, clean base with standout service close to the ferries.

Although a simple room, it was clean and well maintained. Very helpful and friendly staff. We ate in the hotel both dinner and breakfast. Good food, great value and very hospitable service. Breakfast wasn’t included in our stay, but was well with it. It is an excellent location for cruisers as it is within a simple walk to the port.

Hotel is a great stay for a couple of nights in Piraeus. Walking distance to some cruise ports or a short taxi. Walking distance (10-15 minutes) to a very easy to use metro and marina Zeas. With a restaurant on site makes it easy if you want to grab something. Was very appreciative of the elevator as I was on the 7th floor. Great AC which is July is a must. Clean and safe. Bed was hard. If you like a firm bed then great. For me it wasn’t comfortable. They left me a kettle and two mugs but not tea of coffee things so not very helpful. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Would recommend for sure

Hotel is located close to the Port of Piraeus. Restaurants and some stores are about two blocks walking distance. Hotel room was small and the mattress very hard. Room and bathrooms were very clean and internet service was good. There is a nice restaurant/caffe at the property. Best thing was the personnel of the hotel, all of them were very helpful at all times!

I would give it a negative 10 if I could. I checked in 11pm before my cruise. As soon as I open the door, I was almost knocked over by the smell of smoke and what they sprayed to cover it up. I had requested a non-smoking room. They said all the rooms had an ash tray therefore no non-smoking rooms, so they should not have taken the reservation. I opened the door and window, turned on the fan and a/c. I was told they had no other rooms available. I called hotels.com and they were unable to help. I had no choice but to stay in the room. I was unable to go to sleep until 5am. I had a $3000 doctor bill on the ship. They had to give me 3 breathing treatments and 2 iv's.

This was one of the cleanest hotels I've ever stayed in. Every staff member that I encountered made some sort of friendly gesture. It is very close (easily walkable) to the port. And also within easy walking distance there are many shops and other services.

The hotel was a last minute booking and we were so pleased we chose it. The staff were friendly and helpful and kind. The price was very modest so we were very happily surprised to find it was such a clean, bright hotel with a lovely room and bathroom and all that we needed in amenities. It was in a nice quiet street near the port and ferries to the Greek islands. We would stay there again.

It was a decent hotel. But if you're in a room at the front of the hotel then you can hear the loud music from the bars opposite and next to it all night. This is a reason not to go back for me unfortunately.

This hotel was a very pleasant surprise. All freshly updated right near the port. The staff were amazing with a strong desire to provide really good service if you’re on the street side, it can be a little noisy at night, but otherwise it was a great place to stay it is not a five star hotel But everyone does their best to give you a great experience.
