Hotel Katerina in Athens

Okay, this is typical shoebox hotel, which is not a problem if you planning just to sleep there and take a shower. They elevator can be a serious challenge for people with claustrophobia. There is literally nothing worth your attention around this hotel. The nearest tourist attraction is at least 25 minute of pretty energetic walk, and i am talking about walking shortest distance, meaning local streets. Which are not really clean and maintained around the area and borderline safe as i saw few bums laying down on the street just few blocks away. So i advice to use a taxi especially if you are coming back late. Hotel doesn't have electric locks at the door and you have to leave a key on reception every time you are living the place. The place is like stock in 60's of the last century
The good thing is that one of the stops for Hop-on-hop-off busses just 20 meters away from the place. Another thing the place is relatively cheap. But i wouldn't stay there next time, i rather pay more but be in the better area.

The hotel is located in a bad area. A block away is a tent street full of junkies. Although staff is making sure you are safe and are very nice and friendly, I would choose a different location. Rooms are dated and not what I expected. For the one night we were there, it was ok
