Philosofia Athens Suites

Good hotel with nice workers nice location too I like the food in Greece , cheap

It was the worst travel experience in my life. Avoid this property. Images are not real and no service at all. If you choose to use the stairs, you will recognize in which building you chose to stay. I was too tired when I arrived on Sunday afternoon and my room was smelling bad, probably from the bathroom sewer and the entrance door was not closing properly and was remaining opened. I called them and they said that I had to wait until Monday, when their technician will pass by to check. I have explained that due to health issues I cannot afford this bad smell through the night. Nothing happened. I asked for booking cancellation and they refused. They said they will accept my request only if their technician would confirm to them that there is a problem. When technician came, he did’t check anything in the room and he said that everything is OK. I spoke with Vera, the general manager. She was too rude and her attitude was not professional. She was shouting to me and she said that I was trying to create problem because I wanted just a compensation, something not true. I went for 4 days mini vacations and I wanted just to relax and enjoy my holidays. I was sleeping all the nights with an opened window and I get sick from the first night of my stay. I’m very disappointed with this booking. Nothing to do with Philosophia. Never again.

I needed two hotel stays in Athens; book end trip if you will - 3 nights then we left Athens, and 6 days later I needed one night stay, again in Athens. We traveled with 4 people (two adults, two children). Ms. Vera and Andreas were very helpful in arranging the booking- making sure I had the necessary entry codes to get access to the hotel and room. The hotel Philosofia is self catering. It was centrally located and very clean. It was especially handy to have access to a washer- with necessary supplies (soap et !) at no additional cost. The staff we communicated with (Ms. Vera and Ms. Andreas) we’re responsive and helpful in arranging transfers as well. (I used WhatsApp to text and in one instance speak with) After the initial transfer from the airport to the hotel which Philosofia arranged - we needed three more during our stay in Athens. Mr.Spyros, who works as the transportation manager with Philosofia was amazing! At one point I gave him incorrect information (wrong day- my error) about a transfer and despite my error, he made sure I made it to my destination on time and even with time to spare- when I called him in near panic bc of my mistake! Mr. Spyros was a joy to deal with and all of his drivers were very friendly and accommodating AND had very clean vehicles! Thank you to all. Your assistance made our enjoyable stay in Athens even more pleasant and carefree. Greek hospitality is so warm and impressive. We can’t wait to return to the birthplace of democracy and will stay here again! Efcharistó!
