отель терпимо, но район - полный алес the hotel is tolerable but the area is full of ales

The location is not bad, 15 min walk to the Parliament (where soldiers with pom-poms on their boots walk : )). And this is the center.
The department itself is old, the rooms are ancient. But in general, tolerable. Deuce 2 * legal. Although of course unreasonably expensive for such a hotel.
BUT, the biggest disappointment of the hotel, namely its location. It is located in the Omoni area. This is the concentration of all drug addicts, prostitutes and homeless people. The stench from the latter is unbearable. Our homeless homeless people don't stink so much.
30 meters from the hotel - "point". Terrible prostitutes stand from morning to evening. "In the area" in the evening it's scary to walk, suspicious-looking "Latinos", drug addicts at every turn. Really scary!

I am not a timid ten, although I do not consider myself a hero, but I saw horror in the eyes of our compatriot, who looked quite serious. He met me in the elevator and through the word mate, he expressed his attitude towards the hotel, Athens and Greece in general. Yes, the Greeks themselves, when they asked where we were staying, made round eyes when we answered that in Omoni.
In general, I do not advise you, you can really suffer. This is probably why Ionis is one of the cheapest places in Athens.
Well, if you are drawn to extreme sports, then please! : ) In general, I don't go to Athens anymore. Enough 1st day that would be all the main visit: the Parliament, the Acropolis, the Temple of Zeus. All within 15 minutes walk from each other. Bai everyone!
