Alexandra Hotel

located near the harbour and city sightseeing points

Air conditioner was inefficient to keep air fresh without opening the window although it was already not as hot as in summer. Swimming pool was unexpectedly empty, no information provided on the homepage about this seasonal facility (some other hotels in the area had pool available)

Close to attractions

Clerk was watching Porno movie while doing my paper work

The position is fantastic as one can walk to the Plaka, Ermou, Omonia, Acropolis etc. and the tour bus stops just opposite. Food is limited but good. The internet in the room is wired which is a shame but works well. The menu is limited and only the coffee shop was open in the evening but the food was very good and room service was excellent.

My only comment is that the rooms have no atmosphere - no flowers (even artificial!) in the room, no dressing gown or slippers and there were no tea or coffee making facilities in the room. A cup of tea from room service is 6€ and if like me you like lots - it is an expensive exercise.

The good will of the staff in overcoming some problems with the first room

The swimming pool was inactive

Great view of the harbor off our balcony which made for a wonderful romantic glass of wine after a walk along the wharf as we explored the first evening. Good breakfast included in the bill which gave us energy to tour the old fort and relax a bit before boarding our sail boat. We will definitely recommend the hotel as a good value in a great spot and will be coming back soon for a longer stay.
