Pros: Due to extensive flight delays we missed the first night of our reservation at St. George and did not arrive in Athens until 6AM. However, we forgot all about our troubles almost immediately after checking into this superb hotel.
1. Without even telling us they upgraded our room to the front side of the hotel which had absolutely incredible views of the Acropolis from our balcony. While it wasn't a large room (they never are in Europe!), it was clean, the bed was great, and the bathroom was perfectly OK.
2. Despite our exhaustion, we dragged ourselves out of bed just in time to catch breakfast. Went up to the 6th floor and was blown away by the 360 views of Athens. We asked if we could just grab a plate of food from the buffet (delicious selection) and take it back down to our room. Not only did they say yes, but they had someone carry our food down to the room ON A SILVER PLATTER. No jokes. Also, without even asking for it they sent with a hot carafe of coffee with STEAMED MILK.
3. On the last leg of our trip, coming back from an island, we had 12 hours to kill in Athens before heading to the airport. Despite no longer being guests for over 7 days they graciously stored our bags and let us hang out at the roof pool until we had to leave. WHAT.
4. Oh, and the pool is like a dream. Gorgeous pool with gorgeous Athens view with lounge chairs and great music. Happy hour is from 7-9 offering 6 euro cocktails.
The neighborhood this hotel is in is really great and completely safe as it is where all the embassies are located. Since it's on a hill be prepared to climb! It is worth it as there are very charming buildings, great cafes, shops, and restaurants. You can be in Kolonaki (walking) in 15-20 minutes. There is a metro stop 7 blocks away that goes directly to the airport.
WHY WOULD YOU STAY ANYWHERE ELSE? I know I won't be....
Thank you St. George! You made our trip.

Pros: Due to extensive flight delays we missed the first night of our reservation at St. George and did not arrive in Athens until 6AM. However, we forgot all about our troubles almost immediately after checking into this superb hotel.
1. Without even telling us they upgraded our room to the front side of the hotel which had absolutely incredible views of the Acropolis from our balcony. While it wasn't a large room (they never are in Europe!), it was clean, the bed was great, and the bathroom was perfectly OK.
2. Despite our exhaustion, we dragged ourselves out of bed just in time to catch breakfast. Went up to the 6th floor and was blown away by the 360 views of Athens. We asked if we could just grab a plate of food from the buffet (delicious selection) and take it back down to our room. Not only did they say yes, but they had someone carry our food down to the room ON A SILVER PLATTER. No jokes. Also, without even asking for it they sent with a hot carafe of coffee with STEAMED MILK.
3. On the last leg of our trip, coming back from an island, we had 12 hours to kill in Athens before heading to the airport. Despite no longer being guests for over 7 days they graciously stored our bags and let us hang out at the roof pool until we had to leave. WHAT.
4. Oh, and the pool is like a dream. Gorgeous pool with gorgeous Athens view with lounge chairs and great music. Happy hour is from 7-9 offering 6 euro cocktails.
The neighborhood this hotel is in is really great and completely safe as it is where all the embassies are located. Since it's on a hill be prepared to climb! It is worth it as there are very charming buildings, great cafes, shops, and restaurants. You can be in Kolonaki (walking) in 15-20 minutes. There is a metro stop 7 blocks away that goes directly to the airport.
WHY WOULD YOU STAY ANYWHERE ELSE? I know I won't be....
Thank you St. George! You made our trip.

Pros: Great location, nice room, very friendly staff. Our daughter got ill during our stay, and the lady at reception was really helpful. Gave us fever thermometer, offered a doctor nearby, kept on asking how she was. Also, the view from the breakfast room on the roof is spectacular.
Cons: The room was booked with Acropolis view, which was indeed visible from the corner of the balcony, but I stayed in rooms earlier on where we could see the Acropolis from the bed. Probably these rooms should be priced a bit lower, as it is not quite the same experience. Also, the pool is not heated. With that much sun, probably some solar heating facilities could be installed for better comfort in the pool on a slightly cooler day. At last, the room rates seem to have doubled in the recent years. Normally I would have stayed for two weeks, but had to cancel the second week and opt for a less expensive Hotel for the second week, because of my budget.
9,6 Excellent
Pros: The breakfast on the top floor with the view to the Acropolis is really nice! I spent an hour there just "slow-eating" while enjoying the view. Staff is also very friendly (except the older ones, who are there for 15+ years, who seem to feel a bit like as if they own the place :))
Cons:
6,5 Good
Pros: I like the location.
Cons: Room interior dated. Bathroom poor quality.
Breakfast was expensive and poor quality. Although at the end since I complained they did not charge for for one and I did not use for the rest of the days. If I conclude if they were advertising it for a 3 star hotel I would have put my best comments and I would have set my exoectations but for a 5 star, not at all met my expectation.

Pros: The property on the inside was awesome, on the outside... surroundings...I was not impressed.
Cons: 1. We chose this hotel ONLY because the Kayak info said a "hotel shuttle" is available. We wanted to be close to the airport to fly out the next morning. We thought we would save the expense of a taxi to and from the airport. There was no shuttle. When we call the hotel, they told us no such thing as a shuttle. They would only arrange to send me a taxi @ €45.00. And this could only be arranged via email...not over the ph. We simply took a cab to the hotel # €43.00. To the airport the next morning...no shuttle. We took a taxi @ €44.00. If you people do no have a shuttle like we are use to in the US...do not mislead innocent pepole like us. That is false advertising. The availability of a shuttle in the ONLY reason why we picked this hotel.
2. At the front desk I changed out some US$ for € after checking in. We plan to do some last minute shopping before we fly out the next day. What we did not know was that, that very day was a national holiday (the Verging Mary Holiday ) all the stores were closed. On checking out the next morning they would not take back the € currency. I told them that we did not know that there was a holiday. They said they can't take it back. That was just not right. These 2 things has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I am not a happy camper...especially with the shuttle issue. That was flat out wrong. You can't say that there is a shuttle when there is none. People from the US is use to taking a free shuttle ride to and from the airport to hotels and rent a car locstions.

The metro station is just about 75 meters away & very convenient. Overall we had a good experience.
Cons: The streets leading to Ermou Street is populated by immigrants & a bit run down. The breakfast room gets a bit crowded during the peak time but I guess that happens in all big hotels. The wash basin marble in the bathroom has cup stains & needs to be scrubbed more vigorously.

Cons: Bathrooms need to be updated - very tired and 1960's design, with shower in bath-tub. Mini bar included wine and beer - but no wine or beer glasses provided! Bathroom looked like it had a extractor fan, but was not working - we had to leave bathroom door open when having a shower, to reduce condensation build up. Given the hotel is considered 5 star, these items should be corrected to meet a 5 star rating.

Cons: Check in time and check out time officially are 330 and 11. The staff do try to accommodate you however the check out time should officially be moved to noon. The check in time should be earlier too. Basic things are missing from the hotel room e.g. dental kits, bathroom slippers, don't provide an iron. No one asks what hot drinks you would like when you arrive for breakfast. The rooms are decent, not in line with the expectations set by the lobby. Could provide drinks by the pool.

Cons:
2,6 Mediocre
Pros: Breakfast and the 8th floor restaurtant which has an amazing view of Athens,
Cons: Nothing. Basically the holel has low quality of mattress and pillows. They do not provide complimentary beverages of any kind. The location is on a busy street and is surrounded by narrow streets and apartments. The hallways are dark and lights are too dim to see the door number or the side of key to put into the electronic lock. I am not sure it is a 4-star hotel.
8,3 Excellent
Pros: Fabulous reception staff. Nice comfortable room. Good breakfast.
Cons: A little shabby in the roof bar and pool area. Very slow service in the bar, could sit for half an hour by the pool without anyone noticing. Further away from centre than I thought.
1,0 Poor
Pros:
Cons: Booked a triple room as travelling with a work colleague. Hotel confirmed triple booked but they put us in a double. Really inappropriate. Slept on floor till call at 03.20 am to say they had suddenly found a twin !!
1,0 Poor
Pros:
Cons: The rooms were very tired. The linens were ancient, some even stitched together. We tried two guest rooms and both smelled like smoke. The wall coverings in the rooms were ripped and paint was peeling. This was a very poor representation of the Brand.
3,3 Mediocre
Pros: The hotel is modern.
Cons: Beds are not comfortable, tv has no channels we called them to fix it they said they did but it never worked, one day they took the towels but they didn’t replace them.
5,4 Okay
Pros:
Cons: The location is far from the city center. The hotel has only one restaurant including a pool bar which was booked for a private function for 2 nights. This limited us to dine in the indoor restaurant. The female waiter was too rude and didn't want us to sit in the dining area but only next to the bar.

Cons: One night, I think housekeeping forgot to replenish the towels. I called reception and they brought up new towels right away. Another day, we got back to our room at 4pm and it was just being cleaned. We wanted to rest so I just asked housekeeping to clean the bathroom.

Pros:
Cons: Someone broke into my room and searched into my belongings. No police report, no apologies or security measures from management. The hotel was full and they did not warn the other customers... I refused to sleep in the room after the burglary and had to share my friend' s bedroom. They refunded me with one night and offered me free breakfast. What a joke ! No security and absolutely not customer oriented.

8,0 Excellent
Pros: Decently large rooms by European standards, nice view from the rooftop pool. Decent price, and comfortable bed.
Cons: Pool hours are very limited, I figured I could go for a swim after being out for the day only to be told the pool closes around 1830. Presumably, they don't want to sacrifice the bar ambiance around the pool by people actually using the pool. And it didn't reopen until 9am in the morning, too late to be useful before needing to run out for the day. Typical terrible Greek hours. Very disappointed that the pool, one of the main reasons I booked the hotel, was 100% useless. You should consider it for show only.
The hotel isn't in a bad area (by comparison to the rest of Athens), but the walk to the metro is not the most enjoyable and I kept an eye out for unsavory people. I was surprised to find a Novotel in such a residential area - nothing close by that you'd want to walk to (except the metro to head to a more interesting area). The view from the roof could be Lebanon or the Gaza Strip if you didn't see the Acropolis way off in the distance.
