Stingy & poor location
16 May 2026
I’m currently staying here with a tour group (Gate 1). I would have given this hotel maybe 2 stars, 3 would have been generous. Location is poor. The rooms are blah. The reason I am giving it 1 star is the pettiness of the staff. The first night we had water bottles and coffee and creamer packets next to the coffee machine. The second day we had neither, so I went to the reception desk. They said it was only for the first day. I thought they meant the water, which was fine. It was the coffee packets, as well. The coffee packets that probably cost them the equivalent of $.05-$.10 each. I had to argue with them and go to the bar to get coffee packets and they handled it very poorly. They said it was customary and argued/mansplained. I have traveled the world and never experienced this. I’ve been to Central Asia, all over Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Northern Africa… just about every obscure location you could go, and I’ve never heard of restrictions on coffee packets for the first day only. Thank goodness we’re leaving this crappy hotel tomorrow with its lousy location and stingy service. I refuse to spend another dime here. We would have had dinner downstairs this evening, but based on principle… Absolutely not. Their refusal to dole out less than $.25 worth of coffee packets cost them €50 at least. Also, the rooftop views of the Acropolis are BS. E Ζ, Owner at Athens Zafolia Hotel, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, and that you found our location and service lacking.While our central location is typically chosen for its convenient access to public transport, local dining, and major historic sites, we regret that it did not suit your personal preferences.Regarding the coffee, our standard policy includes a complimentary welcome tray upon arrival to greet our guests. We apologize for any misunderstanding during your discussion with our front desk; we always aim to handle guest requests with care, and we have shared your comments with our team to improve our service.Additionally, we would like to clarify that our rooftop offers a genuine view of the Acropolis, which most of our guests appreciate, though we understand that individual perspectives may vary.We appreciate your insights and wish you safe and enjoyable travels ahead.Public Relations dep.

It Proves a Good Stay
15 May 2026
They provide face cloths, bathroom has all you need as does the actual room. Completely a nice functional space for a long stay. Good location to several restaurant and residential communities. They provide individual toiletries and the hairdryer works well! So don't let the looks of it fool you. The room amenities are a plus all round. It's a hotel worth staying in.

Great hotel amazing rooftop View
09 Apr 2026
We stayed at the charming Zafoilia Hotel in the city center. It’s a cute place, though some rooms faced a brick wall, so we asked to switch. They kindly upgraded us to a top-floor room with a spacious balcony—amazing! The city buzzes with life, old buildings, friendly people, and busy streets filled with cars and buses. I felt completely at home.

Location good, on a main road (down side, a lot of traffic noise.) Clean hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Value decent, rooms nice. Amenities nice. Roof top closed for winter (we went in March - not that cold) we really just wanted to see the view.
