JoEllen· June 1st, 2023Arrangements went smoothly. Hotel was great location and excellent breakfast.Show more
Eskapas commented on this reviewHi JoEllen, Thank you for your time to review us . Hope to see you soon with another Eskapas trip. Kind regards, aysegulTrip date: May 2023- DMDavid· May 22nd, 2023Astor Hotel is under renovation, unknown to us before arrival. The room had wires exiting the ceiling with no smoke detectors installed. Poor hotel customer service. Hotel had an amazing rooftop breakfast area which was off limits the rest of the day and evening. Unfortunate. Bus tour to Acropolis had a guide, George, who was short tempered and rude who ruined the experience. The ferry tour to three islands was well done. Overall not great value. We could have booked a better hotel and done a couple of tours on our own.Show moreEskapas commented on this reviewHello David, Thank you for your review and notification. We talked the issue with the hotel and they said it was a short renovation during day close to your room. They will offer you a free night next time when you are in Athens. Kind regards, AlexTrip date: May 2023
- PNPamela· May 15th, 2023The Astor hotel was in an excellent location and the rooftop had a tremendous view of the Acropolis during breakfast. However, the hotel was under construction so there was no cafe or hotel lobby large enough to do anything besides check in/out. The rooftop was closed after breakfast so we could not enjoy the view of the Acropolis at night.The rooms are small. The staff was very good. We should have been told about the construction.Show moreEskapas commented on this reviewThank you for your review. Regards, AysegulTrip date: May 2023
- Jesus· May 4th, 2023Very satisfied! Short vacation but it’s really worth it. I’m so happy with my hotel accommodation, centrally located and the staffs are so friendly . And of course, my tour guide , drivers, personnel who picked me up and dropped off to airport is awesome!!Show moreEskapas commented on this reviewThank you for your review Jesus Paulo. Hope to see you soon with another trip at Eskapas. Kind regards, AlexTrip date: April 2023
