Stanley Hotel Athens

This is the hotel I spent the most time in on this vacation. First and foremost, if you rent a car you'll run into problems. There is very little parking around this hotel. Luckily I was on a tour when I stayed here. I was in for a rude awakening because coming from California where they banned smoking close by any building and inside well when we stepped into the lobby...whoa it reeked of cigarette smoke. Otherwise lobby ambiance was good. Getting to the room was somewhat of a challenge. I packed too much or my luggage was way too big. The elevator is not that big. Otherwise you can take the stairs. Hmm...I think we were on the top floors so no can do. The room was cozy. It was clean. I was happy that we had AC. Geez, it was hot there. The bathroom was clean. It was small. We had a balcony though the view wasn't great. Its was ok. If you looked up you can see the restaurant or the people in the restaurant can see you. Just make sure your curtains are closed. The hotel was cool because it was close to a lot of stuff. You can walk to the underground station and go to Flaka. They had a whole lot of shops there. You can walk a couple blocks and there's more shops there. A woman's shopping paradise. You can kick it at the hotel and they had a restaurant on the top floor. For my last night in Athens, I had a drink with the person who organized the whole trip. I'm a happy camper with ambiance and this bar had it. It was a little nippy but the drink warmed me up and as I was chatting with them I felt like this was a nice way to end my last night in Athens. I recommend the hotel. Its a bit pricey though. Euros is no joke compared to the American dollar.
