As i was going to the champions league final i needed to book a hotel in athens. I decided to make a holiday of it and bring my girlfriend with me and stay for the week! The only hotel that was available though due to the high demand for acommodation was the Zenith hotel.
Upon arriving in athens we got a taxi at the airport to the hotel. The taxi driver himself could not find the hotel and had to ring the hotel for directions! After recieving the directions he advised me to try and find another hotel but i had no other choice to go there as it was in the morning and needed somewhere to stay for the night!
When we got to the hotel we realised that the hotel was down a dark alley way with not much lighting! We went inside and checked in. We had 3 bags with us so the man at the desk kindly helped us up the stairs with them! Before doing so though he stuck a metal bar through the 2 door handles to stop thieves in his own words When we got to our room Before doing so though he stuck a metal bar through the 2 door handles to stop thieves in his own words When we got to our room we found the room to be very small and run down!
The view out of our window was facing another window diectly in front of us from the opposite building accross the alley way! The room was not even remotely close in comparison to the pictures i seen posted.
To add to that nothing worked in the room accept for the lights and the shower! When we got up that morning there was prostitutes hanging around the steps of the hotel. We went down stairs to hand in our keys to head out and one of them was at the desk with a punter and handed the man at the desk money which he pocketed and gave them a key and they headed up the stairs!
