The hotel was nothing like the pictures in the ad' showed. The room had a bed and a toilet that was at least clean, but the neighbourghood was the worst ever! I was so afraid to go home every night, and hadn't my boyfriend convinced me that we couldn't afford anything else, I would never have stayed there!
There were prostitutes at the hotel, creepy guys all around the block, and totally dark in the small alleyway - it wasn't even a street!!! It smelled like urin all over the "street", beggars hung all over you, and the taxidriver even warned us that it was dangerous to walk around in that neighbourghood!!! Don't ever go there!!!!!! As i was going to the champions league final i needed to book a hotel in athens.
I decided to make a holiday of it and bring my girlfriend with me and stay for the week! The only hotel that was available though due to the high demand for acommodation was the Zenith hotel. Upon arriving in athens we got a taxi at the airport to the hotel.
The taxi driver himself could not find the hotel and had to ring the hotel for directions! After recieving the directions he advised me to try and find another hotel but i had no other choice to go there as it was in the morning and needed somewhere to stay for the night!
When we got to the hotel we realised that the hotel was down a dark alley way with not much lighting! We went inside and checked in. We had 3 bags with us so the man at the desk kindly helped us up the stairs with them! Before doing so though he stuck a metal bar through the 2 door handles to stop thieves in his own words When we got to our room we found the room to be very small and run down!
