Pines Hotel in Athens

I do not recommend staying at this hotel. It is overpriced for what it offers. We were given an extremely noisy room facing the highway that also smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. After wasting over 30 minutes at the front desk requesting a different room without the tobacco smell and noise, we were moved to an even worse one — dirty, with cigarette remnants under the bed and grime clearly accumulated over years of neglect.

The showerhead wouldn’t stay up, so we had to improvise by tying it with a plastic bag. The shower also lacks any curtain or screen, so water splashes all over the bathroom floor, creating a serious slipping hazard.

Lastly, this does not feel like a family-friendly hotel. It seemed more like a pay-by-the-hour motel for private encounters.

This hotel couldn’t be worse!
Very noisy, with a strong smell of cigarette smoke in the room. I asked to change rooms due to the noise and smoke, and it was even worse!
Filth everywhere.
This hotel feels like a intimacy motel.
Not recommended at all!
