Hotels near Happy Kiddo, Athens

The room layout is very warm, very quiet, the surrounding environment is good, parking is very convenient. In short, everything is fine.

I stayed at the Victory Inn in for 5 days in April 2023as a solo traveller. The hotel was comfortable, clean and quiet. The reception staff were all very friendly and helpful. Room service was excellent - it was good to be able to have a cup of tea or a beer after a hard day's sightseeing. The hotel is about 10 minutes walk from Victoria metro station and once I had got my bearings it was easy to find. When I first arrived it was 11 at night and a taxi from the metro was only 5 euros. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for good value accommodation in Athens.

Travelling solo for the first time I was apprehensive and after reading some of the reviews this added to my angst. However on arrival I was warmly greeted and throughout my 5day stay the lovely reception staff couldn't have been more helpful! The hotel, although not situated in the most appealing of areas, is lovely, very clean and has everything you need during your stay. The area isn't the best, however is up and coming and is that of any city centre. Keeping your wits about you and being aware of your surroundings is the best advice I can give! Even in the main Monastiraki Square, you need to be very much aware! I loved my stay and would very much recommend this hotel as I felt very safe here. Walking into the main areas I would advise to walk to the National Archeological Museum and then travel by bus(or walk) to the other areas as this is the way I personally felt safest. The sightseeing buses are the best way to see the city and it's great hopping on/off wherever you wish. I would definitely recommend Plaka as a place to visit-very beautiful and has great places to eat! Taxi drivers can try to con you and charge 4 times the amount for a 5€ journey from Monastiraki SQ to the hotel so be wary of this and agree fares before getting in! All in all a great hotel to stay at and if travelling with 2 or more I'm sure walking back to the hotel at night is fine - I just personally didnt feel safe doing this! I would definitely stay at this hotel again!

How should I put it? Before traveling, I saw a personal recommendation on Xiaohongshu and said that the breakfast here is delicious. But I saw some negative comments below, such as the surrounding environment is very bad and there are many bad people. But I couldn't stand the fact that the price/performance ratio was really good, and I also liked the room type, so I decided to give it a try and booked it for two nights. There is an access control as soon as you enter the hotel. You have to ring the doorbell to open the door. The staff at the front desk are very enthusiastic. I arrived at about 11 o'clock in the morning and there was actually a room that I could enter. This is usually only possible at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Very rare for Athens. After entering the room, the window can be opened, the bathroom is divided very scientifically, the bedding is clean, and earplugs are thoughtfully provided (although I didn't use them). I went back to the hotel at around five o'clock both nights to watch TV and rest. When you leave the hotel, it is recommended to turn left immediately and walk out of this short alley, which is about ten meters away. It is actually very safe after that. Do not wear sandals when walking in this area, it is safer. For breakfast, the area is not large, but the restaurant is very cozy, and the room price includes three breakfasts. On average, the price is really cost-effective. Moreover, it only takes a few minutes to walk to the Place de la Concorde and about ten minutes to reach the Constitution Square. It is very close to the attractions. So the location is good. The staff is also very friendly to the children. When they were waiting for me downstairs, they took the initiative to give them pens and paper to draw, which was very caring. I had to print out urgent documents for personal reasons, and the front desk helped me do it for free. Thank you very much! In short, if you are a young person, staying in this hotel is very cost-effective. I live here with my two children. I deliberately try to be safe and try to stay on the main roads and avoid alleys. It is actually safe. The boss also gave me a discount when buying souvenirs, and asked the children to write postcard messages before leaving, leaving a pleasant memory.

Minus: The toothbrush holder looked very dirty, I would probably give it a deep clean. There were some signs of mold in the shower and the toilet paper holder was loose from the wall. The rain shower head lived a life of its own, very inconsistent with how the water came out, it also took time for the water to warm up. If you care about noise, don't get a room with a street view, the windows really weren't soundproof at all. The location is a bit sketchy at night. I would also recommend the hotel to advertise to people not to waste food at the breakfast buffet because there was A LOT of it by others when we were there. This is a big thing for hotels in the north. Pros: The room looked quite newly renovated. Seems like the hotel was under renovation because when we were there it was a completely different style from the breakfast room to the room. It's probably going to be very pretty when it's finished. Plus for the minibar and kettle in the room. Plus for a separate toilet room and shower room. Great view from the balcony in the room and from the roof terrace. Great, down to earth staff. Also a very good breakfast, I have stayed in many different hotels and this is one of the best breakfasts in Europe for me.

Had a fab fantastic stay at the Apollo. Reception staff are lovely . Taxi service to and from ( holiday extras cheapest I found as I Didn’t want bus £74 return fab driver both on time . This is a great central location . The breakfast buffet is the same . But who cares it’s food and it’s included . I’m not a complainer . Get on with it .fab rooftop and amazing views . I paid £330 for this including flights . Not transfer . Jan 23 . I came early and my trip was originally in March and that was £530 for same . So yeh I had a bargain. The rooms are just being decorated and it was lovely . Amazing cake shop on corner . Hop on hop off bus also around the corner . It’s ideal . I was advised as o was a solo female . Lots of asylum and homeless . They can be aggressive at times . Stay away from side streets and told not to go out in the dark . This is normal for me anyway . The sites are awsum and if u are a walker like me . Once u get your bearings . It’s got fab history . Winter is half price entries to all monuments . So Acropolis was only €10 It’s a must . The national park and other monuments are fab . I chose not to go to meteora. Delphi or the islands cruise . Simply readings to many bad reviews . No regrets . They are expensive and extremely long day . But I had a blast exploring athens .

Negative points:Breakfast buffet has less variety of food. It needs to include fruit squeezer and fried eggs. Black people stay nearby. Positive points: location is very good with 2 metro stations, especially omonia where 2 metro lines interact. They are very helpful for tourist to visit interesting places like acropolis. Staff service is excellent. Indian restaurants nearby offer delicious but cheaper food.

Excellent value for money hotel in a fantastic location just a few minutes walk from Athens’ most visited spots. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and spacious and the breakfast buffet was fantastic. No tea/coffee making facilities but I don’t know if that’s normal in Athens, but there is a fridge and great air conditioning. Then roof top bar in their sister hotel Plaka is well worth a visit. Highly recommend.

A newish hotel, this place is very contemporary and makes use of all the limited space it has in a very efficient way. We were checked in by Valga who was friendly, helpful and efficient. Our room was spotless and cool. The beds are very hard, so be warned if you like a soft mattress. The room had all we needed, except for milk which you have to get from reception. A continental Breakfast can be purchased for €13. There’s a small gym if you feel inclined to use it. Valga helped with a good restaurant recommendation and called good value taxis for us. She’s was a super-star. Thank you for a great stay.
