Semeli Hotel

Hard to get into the parking lot as there was a police blockade on the street, but I assume this is not a permanent occurrence. The first set of bedsheets had a slight smell of smoke, even though we were in a non-smoking room. This was fixed for the second night when they changed the sheets. Overall the hotel is decent, considering that it is quite cheap.

Around the Hotel are many shops,restaurants and supermarkets. It's across a policestation and seems quite safe. Theres someone at the reception 24/7 which was amazing for us, as we had to check out around 4AM due to our early flight. The people working there were all very nice and helpful! Sadly our hair dryer in the room didn't work, there were strangers hair beneath the sheets, and I think a bit of mold on the bathroom ceiling (it does seem like an older building and I think the ventilation in the bathroom didn't really do much anymore) and the bed was much smaller than we thought. For Friends traveling together good to know: the bathroom is not really an own room. Theres a glass wall and a door you can't lock. Our stay there was still good, the air conditioner worked, which was important to us. We felt safe and since we really only slept there, all the con points didn't really bother us.

Very difficult parking around the area. Narrow roads. Opposite a police station, so the one way entrance to the road is permanently blocked and very difficult to get around. I’m street-wise, so ok the walk around, but I wouldn’t recommended any ladies to walk around st night. During the day it’s safe. Hotel staff, especially George, is friendly. Hotel room decor is below par. Skanky carpet, shower head was blocked, toilet seat was unattached- if it were my hotel I’d spend a coupe of thousand pounds doing the room up. Would I stay there..? For the price, it’s ok. But if you’re into cleanliness, I wouldn’t. Hotel is local to a fantastic location in terms of coffee shops, so every morning I would go there and have a coffee.

Pictures were incorrect, air conditioning and wifi did not work, not very clean. Road was blocked off so taxi could not get to the hotel.

Hotel is family run and everyone was very very helpful from travel tips to where to eat. The whole of Athens is full of tired buildings and graffiti, it’s not limited to this area. I’d read earlier reviews about safety however it’s opposite a police station and the biggest reviews tell you not to go to places that are unlit etc we didn’t feel unsafe at all as we kept to the main streets. I travelled back alone from a concert and felt fine. Tip download the Freenow taxi app you see what the trip will cost and can book in advance for local trips. It’s also worth using the hotels pick up airport service because despite what it says on general sites about a flat rate from the airport that’s not the case and many people from the airport had a different experience and different rates that you felt you didn’t have a choice but to pay so use the hotels service we used it going back and it’s an agreed rate arrived in plenty of time and was great. It’s a budget hotel however for somewhere in Athens out of the main city I think it’s a good option for those on a city break. You couldn’t ask for more helpful staff. The local restaurants are local! Meaning that they don’t display menus and hassle you inside and all the locals eat there which is always a good sign. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Must try is the cake shop nearby Max Perry unbelievable cakes and ice cream and for small cakes literally a few euros for cake heaven! Great few days thank you.

Ottima struttura e buon rapporto qualità prezzo, unica pecca il bagno con supporto per soffione danneggiato. Camera piccola ma confortevole. Servizio in camera veloce.

The Semeli was what we needed since it had a 24 hour desk. The staff was very good at answering questions and helping with transportation. The hotel is much nicer than the street it is on which is cluttered with dysfunctional scooters. Despite the appearance, there is a police station across the street so it is safe. The room was nice and you have maid service every day. The only disappointment at the Semeli was that the mattress was uncomfortable.

I did not have a good experience at all. I booked 6 nights and only stayed 1 because of how bad my room was. It was dirty and smelled of smoke, even though it was supposed to be no smoking. There were stains everywhere, the A/C was blocked by broken blinds so it wasn’t really working, and overall did not match was the booking pictures describe. I was offered no change of room, and when I complained with pictures, they just brushed me off. No partial refund/compensation or accommodation of any kind.

Bed bugs, and lots of them.

Chuveiro com suporte quebrado, toalha de banho furada, cheiro de cigarro, porta do quarto nao abre totalmente, estava emperrada no meio da abertura. Painel de acrilico encardido

As soon as I entered the room I could smell a faint musky odor like wet smoke, the carpet was horribly stained, the closet door knob came off in my hand, the toilet lid was loose and kept sliding around, the room needed painting as the paint was faded, the bathroom sink faucet was loose and flopped around when you tried to use it and the shower was tiny and leaked all over the floor when you took a shower. I complained to the check -in person and told me the carpets were clean just discolored and I should buy a throw rug from a market up the street to cover it up. I aked for another room and he told me they didnt have any and the room was still usable. Being exhausted from the long flight I stayed that night and the next day I made a reservation for another place and left the day after. Worst hotel I have ever stayed at!

Complementary breakfast was not provided. The room was always spotless, clean and fresh. Although this is in a local, residential neighborhood that may seem gritty initially, it is actually a thriving, pulsating area of the city with plenty of clothing, cafe, supermarket and dining options. The staff at the hotel were all lovely and pleasant.

THE CLEANLINESS OF THE BATHROOM AND AND THE OVERALL COMFORTNESS OF THE BED AND ROOM . THE FRIENDLINESS OF THE FRONT STAFF AND MAID. THE CLOSENESS OF THE LOCATION TO RESTAURANTS AND SHOPPING .

Bastante desagradable llegar a una habitación y no poder abrir la puerta. Estaba tan descuadra que lleva todo el piso rallado. Luego la puerta del cuarto de baño tampoco se podía cerrar. En baño era imposible estar. Habían insectos por doquier. Los cuales me picaron por todas partes. Las sábanas rotas y manchadas al igual que las cortina. Cuando bajamos a pedir otra habitación la respuesta fue la siguiente: conocemos el problema de la puerta. No tenemos más habitaciones y para las picaduras puedes ir a comprar en la farmacia un insecticida. Mi hermano tenia otra habitación que era un poco mejor. Cada vez que deseaba ir al servicio bajaba a la otra habitación. Me daba miedo entrar a ese cuarto de baño. Tampoco se podía uno duchar pues era una tina muy pequeño y con un desnivel pronunciado que difícilmente uno se puede duchar en ella.

Very friendly staff, clean rooms but poor air conditioning. The Property was the only high point in an eye sores of surroundings. Good bang for your buck.

"The first two days, the room they gave us wasn’t good, and we couldn't sleep a moment at night because of the noise outside. The room condition wasn’t good, especially the bathroom, which needed repairs, and the hair dryer was out of order. However, after two days, they changed our room upon my insistence. One of the reception staff, though, was a bit rude, saying, 'With the money you paid, we don’t have a better room for you,' even though there were several empty rooms on the quieter side of the hotel within our budget. After the room change, we had a pleasant stay. The only odd thing was that, even on the first day, there was no bottle of water or adequate soap and shampoo. We received two very small bottles of shampoo and a coin-sized bar of soap, and we had to go shopping that night.

The wifi did not work which is absolutely key when traveling. The knob on the bathroom door was open so we could not fully close the bathroom door. I was traveling with a new girlfriend and this was bad. The staff is friendly and professional but the wifi and facilities were not working. Rooms were clean and spacious

The staff smoked cigarettes in the hallways and it seeped into my non-smoking room. You can hear the people having sex five rooms away. It was very uncomfortable and so I checked out after only one night because of the conditions and didn't even get any thing refunded.

I had a great stay here overall! The room was spacious and comfortable, with a nice carpet, mirror, and bed. The tables were handy, though I do wish there had been a few drawers for storage. The shower is on the smaller side, so it may be a little tight for bigger-sized guests, but it worked fine for me. The closet hook was also a bit too high, though the shelves made up for it. The staff were very nice and welcoming. I didn’t need much assistance during my stay, but they let me know I could always ask if I did. Overall, a really pleasant stay with just a couple of small observations.

Etwas in die Jahre gekommen!!! Müsste man Rentiert werden!!!!

It was relatively clean and the air conditioner cooled well. The location was good. But the equipment was old. The worst part was that there was no power outlet! Only the refrigerator, air conditioner and TV were connected to the electricity, and one of the devices had to be disconnected to charge the mobile phone or laptop!

hotel muy anticuado, requiere una reforma importante. ducha rota, mampara rota, lavabo pequeño como en un avión, almohadas duras y exageradamente altas, ruidoso. lejos del centro y del metro, pero con buses y cerca de paseo agradable

Pictures were incorrect, air conditioning and wifi did not work, not very clean. Road was blocked off so taxi could not get to the hotel.

We had an okay stay at Semeli Hotel. The workers were friendly and helpful. The wifi was very interrupted and the location was a bit average. But overall good value because the price was cheap so no complaints 🙏

Bonjour nous avons passee in week end a athenes et nous changeons régulièrement d hotel quand nous venons La chambre est dans son jus meriterait une bonne renovation . Mais le principal probleme que nous avons eu c est une coupure d eau generale du quartier le matin donc impossible de se laver et de faire sa toilette , nous avons demandé si l hotel pouvait nous faire une reduction ou un bon d achat pour une autre nuit mais ils ont refusé en prétextant que ce n etait pas leur responsabilité . Nous comprenons bien que ce n etait pas de leur faute mais ils auraient pu faire un geste commercial . Nous ne recommandons pas cet hotel pour cela

Reception staff are very nice, kind, kmowledgeable, informative, quick to respond and respectful. We arrive too early and they accomodated us even it is not time to check in when they saw us too tired from our trip. Room is very clean and sorroundings although it is outdated, everything you need is there esp it is close to everything like metro, restaurants, banks, groceries & more. Overall excellent and saved some money. Excellent for the price.

First when we make 2 rooms reservation we choose executive rooms. They gave us the worst rooms. One of the room the bathroom door wasn’t working, and the other one was smelling bad. After complaining about the status of the rooms they gave us another ones, but in bad conditions. Every rooms had rugs in very bad conditions. After few days we asked for undust the room because at the wall the prior client wrote a message and at the front desk’s answer was that we were winning too much. We were paying for a service. Wasn’t for free.

Complementary breakfast was not provided. The room was always spotless, clean and fresh. Although this is in a local, residential neighborhood that may seem gritty initially, it is actually a thriving, pulsating area of the city with plenty of clothing, cafe, supermarket and dining options. The staff at the hotel were all lovely and pleasant.

Great staff and reasonable prices.

The staff was very friendly. There was no breakfast, but it is two short blocks away from the upscale Kipselis restaurant area. I always walked the km from the metro station, but there is also a bus stop a block away. Not a noisy area.

The staff is very nice, but the hotel is old, outdated and located off the historical center. The general area is depressing.

Riions are clean and staff is helpful and responsive. Our taxi driver told us this is not a safe neighborhood after dark.

Very good location, easy access to public transport with lots of restaurants close by. Recommended!

For the price, it’s ok. But if you’re into cleanliness, I wouldn’t. Hotel is local to a fantastic location in terms of coffee shops, so every morning I would go there and have a coffee.

The overall surrounding is not good. At night time, I felt unsafe walking on the road. Hotel is in the narrow alley, not convenient for travellers. My shower door is broken, water is everywhere when taking shower.

Ottima struttura e buon rapporto qualità prezzo, unica pecca il bagno con supporto per soffione danneggiato. Camera piccola ma confortevole. Servizio in camera veloce.

Petit hôtel correct. Chambre sur la rue assez bruyante malgré le double vitrage. Petit déjeuner sans aucun intérêt, en chambre, car pas de salle de petit déjeuner. Personnel très gentil.
