"The Stanley is a great hotel to stay at while visiting Athens. Here are some detailed notes about the property.
Room:
-Stayed in a room with twin beds
-Bed was large and allowed us to both sleep comfortably (long enough for tall guests– I am 6-foot-2)
-Bedding and pillows were very comfortable
-In-room air conditioning was powerful and allowed us to sleep at a comfortable temperature–perfect for people who prefer to sleep cold
-Balcony was large and featured solid views of downtown Athens, the valley/surrounding mountains
-Curtains blocked most of the light, but if you are sensitive to light, bring an eye mask
-Other room features: mini-fridge, safe for valuables, coffee maker
Hotel/Amenities:
-Amazing rooftop pool with stunning views of the Acropolis, downtown Athens, and sea/mountains on a clear day
-Comfortable lounge chairs/beds at the pool
-Huge restaurant/bar with amazing views
-Elevators were a bit small and slow, so patience is sometimes required (also have stairs to all rooms if you prefer to walk)
-Friendly hotel staff and cleaning crews
-Relatively quiet rooms–did not hear neighbors, but the hallway can get a bit loud after 10 AM
Location:
-Hotel is located right next to the Metaxourgeio metro stop, which makes travel to major sites quick, easy, and affordable
-Felt safe walking around streets at night, even though many surrounding buildings/streets appear rundown
-Great bakery/coffee shop steps away from the hotel"
