Me and my wife spend 4 nights at this hotel in december 2012. Hotel and ammenities: good position near the metro station ( about 10 minutes’ walk) and within a walking distance (about 20 minutes) to Syntagma square. Lack of restaurants nearby (only some fast foods without tables to sit, selling sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs and so on). Rooms and... More

Although the rooms are dated and a bit shabby, the size of the rooms and cleanliness make up for it. The staff are very helpful and friendly and the room I stayed in had a massive balcony which was appreciated. The apartments are equipt with everything you could wish for. It is very close to the main Metro line which... More

I had to go to athens for a congress - far too late I thought of booking a hotel. At that point there was not much choice left. So a temmate and I decided to stay at the Lion Hotel appartments. We booked online for a price of 80 Euros per night for both of us. When we arrived at... More

I stayed at this hotel with my wife and our young children for 3 nights, during a visit to Athens (leisure). The hotel has an ideal location (Kolonaki, next to two metro stations, away from central streets), very spacious rooms 60m2 (bedroom, livingroom, kitchen and bath) and very good price (90 euros per night through booking.com). There is also very... More

The best thing about this hotel is the location. (I needed to be in Kolonaki). The second best thing, is the location. The third best thing, is the free wifi. The apt itself is somewhat shabby, especially the living room with a very old TV that gives very limited and blurry reception. But if you do not intend to stay... More

Stayed for two nights in a two bedroom suite. Rooms do look a bit jaded but that is okay. Basic services, and really tiny but adequately equipped kitchen. Friendly helpful staff more than make up for any minor inconveniences. They kept our extra bags for two days till we got back from Santorini (even though we were not going to... More

Effective air-con and excellent fast and free WiFi. Clean, adequate kitchen facilities. Polite, friendly and helpful staff. Mini-mart round the corner. Short walk to Evangelismos metro. Quiet area with lots of trees and roomy balcony from which to view them. Stayed for 5 nights. Pleasant area to walk around and walking distance to boutiques. Comfortable walk to Syntagma through National... More

Well I am very very relucant to write this review as I don't ever want to try and book here and find it is full! After staying at around a dozen studios and apartments in Athens over the years I am very impressed by the Lion. First the location, step out of Evagelismos metro (one stop from Syntagma and on...

Stayed for three nights with family of four. One bedroom suite comfortable with good kitchen but beds quite hard and only half the sofa bed adequate for sleep. Larger suite with two separate beds much better. Very nice area with convenience store close by. No breakfast but lots of coffee shops around. Rooms looking their age but no big deal.... More
