I recently stayed at Hotel Fresh in Athens, and while the location was excellent with easy access to local markets and attractions, my overall experience was mixed. The rooftop dining offered lovely views, but the pool area felt cramped and crowded with non-hotel guests. The breakfast was decent, yet service could have been more attentive.

Rooms

The room was clean with all the necessary amenities, but I found the size a bit small for my family needs, and the beds were low. I also noticed the decor seemed a bit unfinished, possibly due to ongoing renovations.

The rooftop pool was nice for a quick dip but lacked space to accommodate many guests. The gym facilities were limited, and I found the atmosphere around the pool somewhat uninviting due to outside guests.

My stay at Hotel Fresh was quite the experience. I loved the central location, just a short walk to major attractions like the Acropolis, and the rooftop bar provided stunning views, although the view from my room was less impressive due to obstruction. While the staff were generally friendly, the female server was a bit grumpy, which contrasted with the helpfulness of the male servers. Overall, it was a comfy place to rest my head, but the inconsistent service left something to be desired.
