Divani Apollon Palace and Thalasso

"We vacationed with family in early July. The hotel made a wonderful impression. A wonderful room with a view of the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker! Side view of the sea. It is very convenient that the hotel has its own beach. Beautiful breakfasts. Good cleaning. Pure sea. Convenient location, not far from the center of Athens. Very friendly staff in the restaurant, the maids, and all the technical staff, including the beach and bars. Only the reception disappointed. It was unexpected to meet such an unwelcoming reception in a hotel of such a high standard. Moreover, we encountered such an unfriendly and unwelcoming girl during check-in, and very dry lady and young man on the day of our departure when we tried to extend the room until 4 PM. I quite assume that there might not have been available rooms during the high season, but the question here is how exactly the refusal was made. And during the check-in, the girl was also very irritated by our questions, although, as you understand, we weren't interested in her personal affairs, but just wanted to see another room. In the end, they showed it to us, but it was with great irritation. It did not affect our vacation and impressions of the hotel in any way. We are very satisfied with our choice."

"Nice hotel but even nicer beach. Pretty decent price good value for money."

"My wife and I stayed here for two nights at the end of our cruise holiday with Riviera travel. The first night we and other guests were woken by young teenagers rampaging through the corridors. It first started in the room next to ours then spilt out into the corridors as they ran between different rooms slamming door, screaming and shouting. We and at least one other guest, rang reception and they sent the duty manager up. This made things worse as their reaction was to up the noise and run down the corridor banging on doors to wake people. I went out just as the duty manager arrived a second time with a colleague. One boy took off down the corridor, one girl was ushered into one room and three back into the room next to ours. No parents or adults were supervising these yobs. The next day I expected a call to apologise but when it didn’t come I went to reception to complain. The manager rang me a while later. She apologised and asked did we want to move room. I was surprised to hear that the children/family would be in the room next to us that night too as they hadn’t been asked to leave. We agreed to move to an identical room with no gesture to make amends for both the disturbance and the inconvenience of having to move. To cap it all when we checked out we were presented with a sizeable mini bar bill for the first room. As we hadn’t used the mini bar we refused to pay and the manager was called. She was adamant that we must have consumed the drinks and would not accept that her staff may have made an error. What other way could we take that other than she was calling us liars! So in conclusion I would advise anyone to avoid this hotel like the plague, the manager does not apply 5 star standards when ferrel children are running amok and will not accept the word of her guests."
