Zeus Essence Athens Central

The hotel reception is spacious by Europe standards. Checkin was seamless however we had to pay for taxes at the time of checkin. Took a little while to work out the lift as the doors don’t open automatically. You had to manually open the front door to get into a reasonable small lift that catered for 2 people and 2 luggage. It reminded me of an old school type lifts seen in movies. Rather cool. Rooms looked newly renovated and modern. Pod Coffee machine with illy pods, desk, a single chair and a wall hung tv. With this said, we had a room facing the road and whether the windows didn’t close properly or the windows were very thin with no sound proofing, but the noise from the road was bad. We were on the 5th floor and every car that went by, we heard. The heavier vehicles were worse. Does not work especially if you are a light sleeper. Breakfast was average with comparison to many other hotels around the world however I would say quite sufficient by European standards. Precooked eggs, scrambled, boiled and sunny side up, basic cereal and fruit selection and bakery was a bit dry. Omelette made on order. Staff in restaurant were excellent and extremely helpful. Location was excellent for this hotel as it was walking distance from buses and train, restaurants and some markets. Communications with its reservations team was shocking. Even after 6 emails with regard to a future booking, I did not get a single reply. Eventually met the hotel manager and had the issue resolved so a big thanks to Ms. Maria. Overall, comfortable apart from the road noise. Would I book again, will not be my default hotel so I may be looking at other hotels but would not rule it out completely.

首先酒店人員的服務都非常nice，雖然在異國他鄉，但是每一個服務人員都很熱情耐心，而且酒店的頂樓可以看到帕特農神廟和呂卡維多斯山，酒店自己的餐廳價格不貴，也很好吃，傍晚落日時分很漂亮。主要問題出在酒店房間自身，我們選擇的是有兩張獨立床並且帶有陽台的房型，但其實這個酒店根本沒有符合這個條件的房型，後來和攜程客服溝通後，得到了非常滿意的處理結果，在這真的要給攜程服務點個大大的贊！另外我想友情提醒一下大家，國外的床真的都很小，如果你選擇的是兩張床的房間，多數都是兩張一米不到的床，並且入住時是連在一起的，需要出點力氣人工分開。

我不知道為何看到有人因為只給一瓶水而負評。在歐洲一般都喝水龍頭水，酒店也在水龍頭告知水是可以直接喝的。 這個酒店除了位置不是非常市中心（但到哪裡都是走路能到的距離，包含地鐵站），其他一切都很好。 距離大街的房間可能不是非常安靜，但還在能接受的噪音範圍。房間空調制冷正常，風聲很小。 備品完整，包含牙刷牙膏、拖鞋等。設施與清潔很棒，國際標準。服務一流。枕頭有兩種尺寸，高軟or硬薄，這一點很多星級酒店都還要另外叫房務送。很加分。 總體來說我花90美元（含10歐的城市稅）訂購到一晚，非常超值。房間本身有150-180美元的價值。（只要你願意多走10分鐘）
