“Lovely hotel in need of renovation”

We stay here for the location, the price and the pool when we visit family in Kifissia. This is a very beautiful hotel with great potential.

We stay here for the location, the price and the pool when we visit family in Kifissia. This is a very beautiful hotel with great potential. It is within walking distance to shops, restaurants and public transportation and is about 45 min to 1 hour to downtown Athens by train/bus. The rooms are spacious but in need of renovation to meet a five star standard. We stayed in a standard room, which was clean and the bed this time was comfortable, but the door lock did not work (this was fixed) and the shower had no pressure. The buffet breakfast which is included was okay, the best part was the fresh squeezed orange juice and espresso/cappuccino. The staff were wonderful and accommodating, with a special thank you to Yiannis, Sofia and the cleaning staff.

“Mixed experience- Great location but disappointing pool policy”

We stayed at Theoxenia Hotel in Kifissia, Athens, and while the location is excellent—quiet yet close to shops, restaurants, and the lovely Kifissia centre—we had a mixed overall experience. The hotel itself has good potential. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, but it's evident that they are in need of refurbishment to meet the standards one would expect for the price. The swimming pool is a nice feature, but it gets very crowded quickly, especially during weekends, making it less relaxing than expected. The pool bar service was average at best—nothing particularly memorable. What really disappointed us, however, was the unexpected charge when we wanted to bring our children (we’re visiting from Wales, UK) for a swim. Despite a clearly displayed rate of €25 for external guests at reception, we were told we had to pay €50 per child because it was a Sunday. This was not made clear in advance, and considering that both my wife and I were paying hotel guests—and repeat customers—we expected more reasonable treatment or at least a discount. For the price we paid, which is comparable to other nearby hotels, we felt this policy was both inconsistent and unfriendly. Sadly, it left a sour taste during what could have been a more pleasant stay.
