Athena Hotel

THE HOTEL STAFF WERE EXCEPTIONALLY HELPFUL. THE ROOM WAS NICE, THERE WAS A LOT OF BUILDING WORK GOING ON IN THE STREET SO QUITE NOISY BUT NO NOISE WITH THE PATIO DOOR SHUT. BREAKFAST WAS EXCELLANT WITH A LOT OF VARIETY. JUST A STONES THROW FROM THE BEACH. THE OLD TOWN IS ABOUT 30 MIN BRISK WALK AWAY. noise from building work in the street.

Quite a good location. It’s a fairly large, budget hotel, so keep in mind that there are many tourists who don’t always behave appropriately. There is a lot of noise, and the sound insulation is very poor—both from outside and from the corridor. Almost every evening, drunk guests were making noise until 2–3 a.m. The breakfast is quite poor, with low-quality food, and overall organization is very lacking.

The location and the pricing You need to pay money to get the safety deposit, and without it u would not be able to hold them liable to any lost item. The room smelled bad. There was no do not disturb sign we can hang.

The hotel is perfectly situated for a focused stay; being within walking distance of the Old Town and a local scooter rental made it easy to experience the best of the area without the need for a trek to Lindos. We were fortunate enough to receive a complimentary room upgrade upon arrival, and the accommodations were both impeccably clean and remarkably quiet. Beyond the logistics, it was the staff’s hospitality that stood out. They have an excellent pulse on the local dining scene—I’d highly recommend asking the reception for a restaurant recommendation, as the spot they suggested for our first evening was the highlight of our trip. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches, from the variety at breakfast to the pool table available for a casual game. For those who value privacy, the team was incredibly respectful of our request for no housekeeping during our stay. Even after checking out, the staff remained wonderfully accommodating, allowing us to linger and enjoy the hotel’s atmosphere until our departure. While our stay was positive, there were a few elements that could be enhanced for a better guest experience. The orange juice at breakfast was a bit of a disappointment; it was a processed, overly sweet version rather than the fresh-pressed quality one might expect. I also found it surprisingly difficult to locate butter at the buffet, which was a small but frustrating omission during the morning meal. Regarding the room climate, the AC was restricted to a heating setting. While I understand that early April may still feel cool to the local staff, we found the room quite warm and were in need of a cooling option. Being on the fourth floor, we felt secure enough to leave the balcony door open to catch a breeze, but this unfortunately resulted in quite a few mosquitoes entering the room. It would be a significant improvement to have windows with a partial-opening or tilt function, allowing for secure ventilation without unwanted pests.

It's bit a far
