    Overall a positive experience.

    • Superior Double or Twin Room with City View
    • Stayed 1 night

    the two large windows that allowed for the amazing views have no shutters on the outside. Because of the fact that the room faces west-northwest it gets very hot under the afternoon sun. Dark coloured curtains simply absorb light and make the room hotter, therefore making full-throttle air conditioning an inescapable necessity.

    Brilliant location and amazing view. Big windows that made the place very bright but also thick dark curtains that kept the morning light out and the room comfy for a bit of a snooze at the early part of the morning.

    The windows could have been cleaner and some tourist information leaflets in the reception area would have been helpful.

    An excellent location.The rooms were a good size for a weekend trip and very clean. The beds were comfortable, the shower powerful and ready upon our arrival at 12.30pm.

    My stay was in January, so it took couple hours for the a/c to make the temperature in the room bearable The location is convenient but also next to a big road, so it was quite loud, but I expected that

    Even though it had a Nescafe Vertuo, it had not a single pod I could use for coffee. It had a water heater but no coffee. It only had tea bags and sugar.

    Renovated rooms, comfortable and clean.

    There was no shared kitchen and living room as advertised, it was not accessible (there is a small elevator, but 7 stairs in the first floor you can avoid), no staff at all in the reception, and the code-key method was very inconvenient. It’s relatively cheap so you get what you pay for, I just wished I knew it before

    Pretty clean and not expensive

    Athens Gem is located in an excellent location, directly linked to the city center, airport and harbor. We spend 4 nights there. The extra large bed was just right for our family of three and when we asked for an extra bed just to be more cozy, we were immediately offered one. People were always available to make our stay comfortable. Really friendly staff, so kind and nice with us and our kid during her tandrums! A wonderful view of mount Lykavittos. Small bathroom but convenient. Plenty of cafes, and restaurants and small kiosks around. I would definitely stay there again.

    Hairdryer and iron were missing. Plumbing system was working very noisy in the bathroom.

    The location is a 30-minute walk to the center of Athens, and only 15 minutes walk to Kolonaki. It is located in a very traffic-busy and noisy area. It's more like a hotel room than an apartment. The host and housekeeping ladies are very helpful. The room is cleaned daily. There's no kitchenette, just a coffee machine. No hair dryer or iron when asked the host sent me one and the lady ironed my dress. Let our baggage in for a couple of hours after check out.

    What can be improved: Inform upon booking that access codes are needed to enter the room and that they will be sent later. I also think the codes should be sent the evening before and not just a few hours before check-in. When traveling, I want to know that everything is in order. Without Internet access right before check-in, one may end up without codes.

    Good location, neat and modern room. Staff promptly replied to my questions about access codes.
