My friends and I had a great stay at the Dunlin Hotel! The place was spotless, well-equipped with all the latest tech, and the staff were genuinely friendly. My room was just the right size, with a comfortable mattress that made for restful nights. The best part, though, was the breakfast area, bar, and smoking section on the 8th floor – the panoramic view of Athens from there is amazing and breathtaking. Would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Athens.

While the area around the hotel might seem a bit rough, and some locals appear a bit unusual at first glance, we encountered no issues during our stay, and the hotel staff assured us that the neighborhood is safe despite appearances. Nevertheless, as with any city, it’s always wise to stay aware of your surroundings.

Everything was fine, the room was spacious and nicely decorated and overlooked the trees in the street, but our relatives had a room in the courtyard and there the view was pretty awful. The hotel had promised us rooms on the top floor but at check in they said they were overbooked and we couldn't have that room. That made me very angry. Breakfast was adequate, although I probably would have liked something hot as well, not just cold sausages and eggs. But the view of the Acropolis from the morning bar at the top was amazing. Hotel is perfectly accessible by metro and then a short walk from Omonia Square, near the historic center of Athens.

The area around the hotel is a bit like Hasting Street in Vancouver - lot of homeless people and strange existences. But that's not the hotel's fault. Personally, the only thing I didn't like was that they didn't keep their promise and give us the room we booked on the top floor.

My stay at the Dunlin Hotel was fantastic! The hotel was impeccably clean, equipped with modern technology, and the staff were warm and welcoming. The room was the perfect size and featured a super comfortable mattress that ensured great sleep. What really stood out was the 8th-floor breakfast area, which also serves as a bar and smoking section, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Athens. It’s the ideal spot to enjoy a coffee in the morning or a drink in the evening. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone planning a visit to Athens!

The area around the hotel might initially seem a bit unpolished, with some locals appearing a little unconventional, but we had no problems during our stay. The hotel staff reassured us that the neighborhood is safe, despite its outward impression. That said, as in any city, it’s always smart to stay mindful of your surroundings.

Breakfast was really nice, i was missing scrambled eggs, but on other hand they provided traditional food (spinach pie) which added value to the outstanding athomsphere on the rooftop ! Starting every day with such beautiful view on the city + acropolis while having breakfast is something special ! The stuff was very helpful with multiple questions we had during our trip. They even allowed us stay on the rooftop during New Year Eve.

First impression of the locality of the hotel was quite shocking for me. One could say i was feeling a bit scared. But during our 7days trip, nobody even approached us and we get used to that area and felt safe. On other hand we could basically walk to any our turistic trip by walk with managable distance.

Rooms were very clean and new, staff was very helpful with anything and they would recommend which restaurants or tours were good. Our reservation came with a free breakfast buffet for our duration of stay which I was not aware of but so thankful to the hotel! The view from the breakfast room was stunning, you see all of Athens! Location was good too, it was either a walking/metro/uber trip away and metro is pretty cheap, Uber was priced good too but I’d recommend taking the metro, you can get to places in a couple stops! Highly recommend for the value you get for the price :) We loved our stay here!

Nothing to complain about the property, everything was 5 stars.

I loved the roof top terrace and the efficiency of the staff, they accommodated our every need and made us feel welcomed. They arranged our taxis which arrived on time. Couldn’t fault the hotel and staff! 👍

As others have mentioned, the surrounding side streets to the area is used by homeless people (they were harmless and my heart went out to them) and I feel this is not just a problem to this area but probably all the outskirts of the City. It is only the side streets that you encounter this problem. If you keep to the main roads the area is good and has a beautiful church close by and many large hotels.

Dunlin Hotel pleasantly surprised me with its excellent location – just a 10-minute walk from the historic center of Athens. There is a metro station nearby, making it incredibly convenient to travel around the city, including trips to the airport. I especially want to highlight the wonderful Pakistani restaurant located just a few steps from the hotel. I recommend it to everyone – very affordable prices, huge portions, and incredibly tasty food. Even after moving to other apartments in Athens, I continued to visit this restaurant. There is also a market in the area where you can find hats or protective glasses at very reasonable prices. The hotel itself was very clean, with pleasant decor and all the necessary amenities, including air conditioning and good Wi-Fi. In short, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

The location is excellent, the highlight is the penthouse in 8th floor with a 360 degree view that overlooks all of Athens including the Acropolis and this whole experience is laid out before you during the excellent breakfast in itself. The room bothered us that there was a semi-transparent glass door to the bathroom, which is less suitable for a family room. The staff is charming and welcoming, with a willingness to help with anything needed

1. Ample space for a hotel of that size 2. Very nice view of Parthenon from the rooftop bar 3. 24 hours reception - helps for the odd hours flights 4. Very clean and good value for money 5. Good location - the tram and bus routes are close - but the buses don’t come on time so better to choose trams- we stayed both the times when we entered and left Greece

1. Bit crampy bathroom 2. The walking routes from Monastiraki Flea market are sometimes dirty and some times kids are trying to fleece money - but this I guess is a problem more for the city than for the hotel - buses don’t come on time and taxis won’t go for such a short distance- so one has to walk if you’re late

The room was great, everything you needed, lovely shower, comfy bed. The staff were really helpful, nothing was a problem. We liked the bar on the roof too. The hotel is well located and its easy to walk into the centre- see/ do everything

Some people may be put off by the location, there are a few dodgy streets you have to walk through with people sitting around/ drinking & taking drugs etc HOWEVER it still felt very safe, we were never approached or felt intimidated, and there is plenty of local; transport right next to the hotel- taxis/ buses etc.
