It's a average hotel in a good place in Athens. A very miserable breakfast. I haven't found sweetener in the restaurant. The conditioner works occasionally (a lot of time like ventilator).This hotel 20 minutes from the city center and close to the metro station. The staff was helpful.

The location really is quite convenient (right next to the Hilton, a little walk to the Metro station) and the place used to be 4**** when it was new, but that has been quite some time ago. It must have been 'modern' in the 70ies. Now, it is run on a minimal budget, lights are low, breakfast is cheap. You... More

I agree with 'Aguiarreviewer' on every level. The Best Western Ilisia is very poor indeed on all level. Breakfast is very basic and pretty depressing. I believe they use long life milk rather than fresh milk. I believe they use the cheapest quality of every product. Cutlery not very clean. I'm staying for quite a number of nights and unfortunately... More

Coming through Athens after going to the Islands--I am not crazy about Athens so did not spend much time here. Stayed at the Hilton before, which is literally next door. For less than 1/2 the price of the way too pretentious Hilton, you get a clean room with internet and free breakfast. You also get very very nice staff and... More

We stay in the Ilisia in Athens because it is convenient for visiting relatives who are based in Kessariani. We were a bit disappointed this time because we normally book a particular room on the top floor which is at the back away from the road (very quiet) and which has a separate sleeping area for our daughter. We had... More
