Orpheus Hotel

LikedNothing

DislikedI can’t stay at that hotel because they sent us to ‘sister hotel lindo ‘ when we reached there. There are a lot of homeless and prostitute around it. That hotel is not suitable for tourists.

LikedThe staff member at our second hotel was nice - the hotel we were not meant to stay in

DislikedThere were prostitutes in the lobby and outside, drug addicts and junkies everywhere, pubes and body hair all through the sheets. They didn’t let us stay there they said we had to leave and stay somewhere else in the middle of the night and we had to go in an unmarked car with security because the streets were too dangerous to walk 400m away to another hotel. Room smelt disgusting and we both woke up sick. Bathroom smelt even worse we couldn’t use it at all.

LikedClose to Omonia square and Metro. Walking distance to Acropolis etc very cheap

DislikedNOT FOR SOLO WOMEN OR FAMILIES OR GROUPS OF WOMEN. HOMELESS/DRUG USERS STRAIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD. DOING DRUGS IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. ALSO DID NOT STAY HERE AS THEY "UPGRADED" ME TO HOTEL LIDO...DOWNGRADE REALLY. NO TOILET SEAT🤬🤬🤬

LikedCenter of Athens

DislikedThey sent us other hotel which is 15 minutes by walk from the hotel I booked

DislikedHotel Orpheus is a facade for a brothel. Read all the comments!! It’s not a single incident, you’ll find a pattern for years!! Once you arrive, they will inform you that they have a problem (but didn’t say what it is exactly) and will send you off to another sister hotel (Lido Hotel). The route between both hotels was 7 mins, but it was filled with tens of junkies, doing all sorts of drugs on the side road, and using syringes, or collecting garbage of the floor. I was truly scared!! Not because any of them tried to approach me, but because I was easily outnumbered. Outside both hotels there were prostitutes waiting for clients. Men all around the block would look at me and scan me (literally) to figure out if I am a prostate or client or just a hotel guest. The hotel itself was ok. But the toilet had no seat, no curtains, and you have to hold the shower head by hand. The balcony has very bad sound insulation, you can hear everything outside in the street. Soundproofing between rooms is almost non-existent. I couldn’t sleep because the family next door were hand-washing all their clothes in the bathtub until 3 am!! And I could even hear the conversations they were having together, on the phone, or when their baby cried. Doors were opening and closing in the corridors ALL NIGHT LONG. Between not being able to sleep, and actually being scared about my safety, I spent one of the worst nights of my life.
