7.0/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the room was a bit outdated and tired, it was spacious and offered good value for money. The service, especially from the elder gentleman at the reception, was warm and welcoming, providing useful information. The location was convenient, just a short walk to the metro, despite feeling slightly uncomfortable at night. The dining experience was decent, but there could have been more variety. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.

7.4/10

My stay at the Minoas Hotel was superb. The room was big and a bit old-fashioned, but it had a large bathtub where my partner and I could shower together. The room was spotless, with a double bed, clean bathroom, and nicely decorated. They even provided us with two bottles of water as a nice touch. The location is convenient, close to Omonia, but Metaxourgio area is truly charming. The proximity to the metro station made it easy for us to explore Athens' attractions. Trust me, you'll have a wonderful stay at the Minoas Hotel in a lovely location near the subway.
