Tribes review

Novotel Athens offers family-friendly hits — a rooftop pool with Acropolis views, often-helpful staff, and a generous breakfast — but families should weigh recurring drawbacks. Many guests report a sketchy, run-down neighbourhood with visible homelessness and drug use, making evening walks with children uncomfortable. Rooms are frequently described as small, dated or poorly maintained, and some families experienced inflexible or unhelpful service (including a reported refusal to provide simple toddler food). Pool hours and on-site dining can be limited or inconsistent.

Families love

  • Rooftop pool with Acropolis views — popular with families

  • Many reviews praise friendly, helpful staff and accommodating front-desk service

  • Generous breakfast buffet appreciated by families

Worth knowing

  • Surrounding neighbourhood frequently described as run-down and unsafe to walk with children at night

  • Inconsistent service — some guests report refusal to accommodate basic child requests

  • Small, dated rooms and occasional cleanliness/maintenance issues

Pathetic

Appalling Service at Novotel Athens – Room 317 | Stay Dates: 10–12 April & 19 April 2025 If you’re considering Novotel Athens, think again. We stayed for 3 nights from 10th to 12th April and again on 19th April 2025 (Room 317), and the experience was nothing short of disgraceful. During our first stay over the Easter weekend, the hotel refused to provide any food for my 2.5-year-old toddler — even though everything outside was closed. We weren’t asking for anything elaborate — just mashed potatoes or boiled vegetable, as my son could only eat that .The staff showed zero empathy, zero effort, and absolutely no concern for a hungry child. They brushed us off with cold indifference, offering no support or solutions. This is not just bad service — it’s inhuman. For a hotel that claims to be “family-friendly,” this is completely unacceptable. Do not choose Novotel Athens. If you’re traveling with children, or simply expect basic decency and hospitality, avoid this hotel. There are far better places in Athens that understand the meaning of care and service.

Nice Hotel in the Wrong Area

Stayed at the Novotel Athens for 2 nights. Booked two adjoining rooms for a party of six (3 adults/3 kids) The rooms are small but clean. The views from the rooms were awful, abandoned buildings, graffiti and garbage. We had the breakfast one morning, it was hectic, and the staff were yelling at eachother which made it awkward. The pool area is a great feature with a nice view of the Acropolis. The taxi from the ferry port was 60 euro, the taxi to the airport was 80 euro. As mentioned in previous reviews, the area of the hotel is described as sketchy at best. After we arrived we googled where to find a decent restaurant which was a 12 minute walk. Upon leaving the hotel the 1st person we saw was smoking from a glass pipe, the 2nd person was injecting themselves. About 6 minutes into the walk my Wife suggested we get a taxi as she didn't feel safe with the kids. No other females were seen, shattered glass and uncapped needles were prevalent in the streets. The walk to Monastiraki Square is about 20 minutes however you don't even feel like you're in Greece and sadly I spoke better greek than most. When asked where all the greek people were the taxi suggested most go to the Greek Islands to work for the summer leaving Athens in total plight.

Giving a new meaning to the NO in NOvotel

We often stay with Novotel (did so in the last 12 months in Spain, Belgium, France,...) because it is a child friendly chain. This one was horror. They have a fully equipped restaurant which they no longer open for lunch nor dinner so they tell you to take your kids and go find a restaurant in a neighbourhood which is sketchy at best. Even our first taxi driver warned us for the area. The hotel has a very small pool with a far away Acropolis view but they don't provide service at the pool until 10.30am so the 1 staff present tells you to go 7 floors down to get coffee in the lobby. They then close the pool around 6pm so you won't get to witness the sun go down over the Acropolis. Drinks by the pool? No can do. I guess the staff need to go to bed early? In the rooms they provide 1 bathrobe for the 4 people staying in the room. The whole team is very grumpy and lazy. Some serious mismanagement going on here. Rooms are also too small to stay with a family. If you try to use the sofa bed for the kids forget about unpacking suitcases. You'll have more space in the notoriously small Tokyo hotels. Room key cards demagnetize every day. Shower stalls are patched up with silicone. The whole structure is tired with staff to match. Everything is just "No we can't do that" "No we don't have that" " No we don't provide that".
