Adam's Hotel

Fantastic location

We were more than happy with our accomodation . Miranda was an excellent host providing any assistance nedded.Our room was well kept and clean . The location is definitely the most convenient,really close to every major sights. Adams Hotel is going to be our go-to hotel for our future visits in Athens.

I stayed at this hotel pre cruise for 3 nights. It is a very small place but very comfortable. The staff were very nice and genuinely wanted us to feel welcome. Breakfast was very simple. The location is amazing and you are on the doorstep to the main streets where there are restaurants and lovely shops. About 20 min walk in the opposite direction to the metro and the hop on hop off bus. Very quiet considering you are just 1 street over from the main streets. I chose this hotel on recommendation from a colleague who had a really good experience and I was not disappointed!

Bed Bugs, Scams, & No Hot Water Let me begin by saying that I had no intention of writing this review until Adam’s Hotel marked us as a “no-show” so that we could NOT possibly write our review on the website that we booked. We just left Adam’s Hotel after a 3 day stay, and we were ready to just let everything go and put it all in the past…but this devious way of controlling their reviews made us change our mind. First off, let me just say that the staff and cleaning ladies were very nice. No problems with check-in, so there’s that. This whole reservation started out suspiciously when we received an email a few weeks from our arrival date on the platform we booked. I cannot say the website that we booked here as google will not allow it, but it is the biggest and most common hotel booking platform that everyone uses. We had already paid in full, but we received an email asking for our credit card info so they could put a small charge on our credit card, and then take it off again. Some sort of verification. We have used this platform for over 10 years, and something sounded very suspicious. It sounded like they were hacked or something. I replied asking if their account had been compromised and that it was very weird that a hotel do this. I told them I was going to contact customer support. I then received a reply saying, “Oh don’t worry about it.”. That was the first suspicious thing, and I still don’t know what this was all about. I would show the screen shot of this, but since they marked our reservation as a no-show within the platform, the entire conversation has disappeared and I cannot get it back. Again, really weird. Anyway, we checked in, no issue. Keep in mind it’s about 5 degrees in Athens at that point. We went to take a shower, and it was all cold water. We were freezing…but again…I can easily put that in the “funny travel story” category. Woke up in the morning hoping for a warm shower…again, all cold. I went to the reception to ask about it, and they said they would send someone to fix it. So that night, when shower time came…again, cold water. I went back down and asked a different receptionist more clearly about possibly the limitations of the hot water supply…and he kindly admitted that other hotel guests had complained about this in the past. So, ok…hot water is limited at peak times. Got it. So, the next day we tested at 7am, again at 11am, evening at 7pm, evening at 11pm. Cold. So basically, yea…cold showers in Athens. Not fun. All of this is not optimal, but again, we are really easy going and can let this slide. We are in Athens right? The buildings are old, and it’s not easy running a hotel. We get it. Not fun, but ok. While we were drying off, we noticed a bug crawling up the curtains. I looked carefully, did a quick google search for bed bugs, and low-and-behold…it was one of them. I tried to crush it, but those things just don’t want to die! I had dealt with bed bugs once in my life like 20 years ago…and boy was

Poor sound insulation. Can hear conversations next door and in hallway. Tv and remote did not work. Decent value for price otherwise

Adams Hotel is a basic hotel with an incredible location. It is located hotel in the heart of the popular Plaka area. LOCATION: It could not have been more central. We walked everywhere. It is a 5 - 6 minute walk to the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum. Hadrian’s Arch and the Temple of Olympian Zeus are just around the corner. It is close to Adrianou and Kidathineon Streets, lively, fun streets full of restaurants, bars and shops. Brettos Bar (which I highly recommend) is just a few minutes away. ROOM: Our room was very small but we were only there for one night and it was clean and the bed was comfortable, so it did the job. It was perfectly adequate and was good value for the price. There were small compromises for example the soap/shampoo were in dispensers on the wall instead of having separate toiletries and the towels were small and thin but on the upside, the water supply was strong and stayed hot. SERVICE: Service was consistently friendly and welcoming. Email communication before we arrived was good. They replied quickly and they gave us clear instructions for arrival. They stored our bags for a few hours after check-out so that we could go and explore. In any case we were not rushed out as check-out was 12:00, which is a generous time. A buffet-style breakfast was included in the price. The dining room at the front of the hotel was a pleasant spot to sit and the breakfast was fine. FACILITIES: This is a decent but basic hotel so if you want a range of hotel facilities, then this is not for you. There is a rooftop balcony but we did not go up there (a shame as I believe it has good views of the Acropolis) but thats about it. A very small kiosk in the tiny square outside the hotel, called Salt N Sugar where we grabbed a coffee.

Friendly staff. Clean rooms.Fantastic view of Acropolis on balcony. Lovely balcony. Afroditi at reception was very helpful and friendly. Thank you! The blowdryer however cuts out after 30 s, so needless to say we just put our hair up. No Problem! Wonderful neighbourhood in the Plaka. Lovely shops and restaurants. We had a wonderful stay. Breakfast was very good.

Very nice hotel, centrally located in Plaka and easy walking distance of everything. Very clean; spacious - we had two balconies and an Acropolis view (back of). It’s a 2* hotel, so think that some of the comments may be a little harsh. We were very happy - though agree that the breakfast is pretty basic and wouldn’t pay for it (ours was included).

This is two-star hotel and nothing more. The hotel is old and dated and has probably not been renovated since the 1960s. If hotel experience is important for a good holiday, I would choose another hotel. Pros: - price level - Quiet area - room with balcony - nice roof terrace overlooking the back of Acropolis - excellent location in Plaka Cons: - old and dated - bathroom with cracked tiles and discolored joints - poor breakfast (not worth 7 EUR - you can eat good breakfast at restaurants just 3 min. from the hotel in a nice square) - small and hard bed (double bed) - not that friendly and attentive staff
