Crystal City Hotel

A lovely 3 star hotel in Athens,Greece at Karaiskaki square. The staff is friendly and professional. The breakfast and dinner(rooftop restaurant is closed in winter which is pretty normal) buffet is great with a lot of choices. I booked a nice double room for 7 nights and they gave us a room on the 6th floor with a small balcony. Near the hotel there is a bakery factory, restaurants, a mini market and a souvenir shop. Everything you need in just a couple of minutes walk. However just like in every major city there are zones and streets in which it's better to avoid. Other than this we really enjoyed our stay in this hotel. The city center is also just like 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel. City crystal hotel is a three star hotel that exceeded my expectations. Thank you for your service and hospitality. We will surely book here again if we're coming back to Athens.

The best feat of this hotel is the location, access to public transport (2 minutes to reach the station by walk), the access to some good restaurants. We stayed here for 3 days and we were for the most part of Athens outside the hotel, exploring. And so, if this is your itinerary, I'd say go for it. Its a good value for money with good selection of breakfast.

The breakfast was rich in options. Classic with the touch of Greek taste. The waiters were very helpful and were watching if something was about to finish to bring more. The location is very good, just around the corner is the M2 Metro line. The staff was polite and helpful in whatever I asked them. The room was getting cleaned everyday. The air-conditioning was fine. There is a small lobby with a small cafeteria and sandwiches. Coffee was good.

Although we initially booked our stay at the Crystal City Hotel, we were relocated to their sister property, Golden City Hotel, due to some unforeseen plumbing issues. While we didn't get to experience Crystal City first-hand, I must say our stay at Golden City was delightful. The rooms were very comfortable, with cozy beds and pillows that ensured a good night's sleep. Housekeeping was excellent, with our room cleaned daily and fresh towels provided each day. Breakfast was perfect, and we especially appreciated the warm hospitality from Spiridon. Dinner was also a highlight of our stay, thanks to Albert who made our dining experience memorable. Check-in and check-out were both smooth and hassle-free.

The beds, the balcony, the sound proof doors and windows, the friendly staff, the price . We found out that the price can vary considerably and we got the best deal !
