Hotel Villa Orion ΞΕΝΟΔΟΧΕΙΟ ΒΟΥΛΑ - I. Metaxa 4

A really beautiful Hotel with very comfortable beds! The staff is super friendly and very helpful. The perfect place for a relaxed visit of Athens. We will come back soon :)

Its in a great location. The room smelled a bit like someone had been smoking despite the no smoking sign, but it was convenient and it was nice that there was breakfast offered.

Lovely staff, bedroom and excellent greek coffee. Lovely private balcony and nice simple breakfast. Exceptional shower! Sand and rocky beach both within walking distance. Bus stop 1 min walk and direct bus to Athens Airport so no need to connect via Athens City.

Great location with nice beach access only a couple minutes away by foot. Also, the WiFi is refreshingly fast (>30mbps) and stable compared to other hotels. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was... Meh. Not really with the extra cost in my opinion because it's basically just a coffee, yoghurt, and croissant. There were hardboiled eggs too, but they weren't that good. As for the rooms, they were comfortable and looked great, but particularly the bathrooms could use a renovation. The hair drier was held together by tape, the faucets on the shower/tub were all wobbly, and the shower head hose was degloved exposing tubing underneath. Still tough, a good deal and great location.

Good place to stay for a night or two before returning to the airport next morning, for example. 5 min walk to a gated and organized beach (catering mostly to families with little kids and seniors). 15 min walk to a cluster of decent restaurants. Overall good value, although some of the rooms feel a bit dated and could benefit from a renovation.

I checked out today from the hotel. I had the most horrible checkout experience. Although a good and frequent customer so far I was treated very badly by today’s receptionist and he acted very rudely towards me and also shouted at me and threatened me. I stayed for nine whole nights by the time this happened. I had payed the first four nights in advance and then we agreed with an other receptionist that we would leave the exact check out date open and would pay the rest of the amount at check out time. In the mean time I had clearly stated to them that if they wished me to make earlier payments, they can just ask me and I would pay at any time of my stay. But today I was kicked out of my room after today’s receptionist gave it to someone else without asking me if I am ready to check out. He threatened that if I would not check out immediately, he would call the police. What a horrible experience. I payed the remaining amount and said to him that I would never return to his hotel. He started singing like he was demonstrating who knows what kind of strange psychological condition. I kept the room in great condition as always, was quiet as always, and was very polite during my whole stay as always. I still do not understand what was wrong with that hotel today. Maybe bad communication between the receptionists. But why was I treated like that? He shouted a lot also at me. I have never written a bad review before but this time I felt like I should.

I booked 2years ago, but it was not refundable. The hotel said it is not important wether it is refundable or not, we can come anytime if we want for the same price. They were very kind to us, I highly recommend the hotel. We had a suite with jacuzzi. The hotel was clean, the breakfast was good too. Thank you for everything.

Disappointing situation, very old installation that definitely needs an investment. Very good location if you like beach, but other than that they need to renovate the place or at least spend some money to change broken things. Old towels, only shampoo in the shower, white fake leather bed that is dirty, broken wc and the list go on. Simply avoid it. I regret my stay there, it’s a shame for greek hospitality.
