Selina's Nails, Tans & Beauty

I didn't expect much from a hostel but was still disappointed. Our dorm didn't have blind for privacy for the first night, the room wasn't cleaned during the day and the beds themselves had the lockers right on top of them making then pretty uncomfortable as you keep bumping into them. Towels for the shower were not included and cost extra which surprised me. The rooftop was also undergoing construction so it wasn't available. Other than that the location is very good and a walking distance from many nice places including the acropolis. The staff were friendly.

This is an hostel and not an hotel, even with expensive rooms… I’ve taken the so called suite, the room is nice but with flaws like cheap toilet seat and bathroom tiles and soaps, and the facilities aren’t clean. The TV was missing a remote control and the speaker missing electricity cable, and the team didn’t have replacements nor was surprised, and suggested we find an alternative. Despite putting a sign to clean the room, trash bins were emptied, and after 3 days in the room, no cleaning was done, just replaced towels and reorganize bed sheets. The reception team is nice and kind, and the co-working and rooftop are worth a visit, just not staying.

I had a private room with private ensuite bathroom. The room was lovely, clean, spacious with a balcony. There is a fully equipped kitchen for common use in 1st floor. The breakfast served in the rooftop was also good, and you have a view to the Acropolis. The location is close to Acropolis and getting around was easy. The staff were friendly and overall was good. There are however 2 things to be aware of: 1. There's a construction happening nearby and they start making noises 8 am sharp everyday ! Check if your room will be affected when booking. Gladly the construction stops in the evening so if you return to the hotel only at night, it will be ok. 2. The room service is not daily, it is every few days and they do not change towels.

Area: Area is very close to the big streets but the neighbourhood itself is a bit sketchy. Not sure if people actually live there. Service: The people at the reception are incredibly friendly and try to help as much as they can. For example, one of our blankets had a lipstick stain and the receptionist made sure to have it replaced immediately. Facilities: We had the family room. Very basic amenities in the room itself. However there is a kitchen on the first floor that we could use. Keep in mind that there are no free packets of tea and coffee like you might get in other hotels. The rooftop… yeah… fun for party animals but veeery loud until the middle of the night. We were on the fifth floor and asked the reception to tone it down at some point, but we could still hear them. That was honestly the biggest issue during our stay. We didn’t know there would be sound pollution in this way and probably wouldn’t have booked it if we knew. But again, the service of the receptionists made it up a little bit for it.

It seems everything they do is for short term residents. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but I was here in their slow season and the building felt very empty and devoid of life. Catering to the short term crowd leaves businesses like this more susceptible to low occupancy rates during the low season. This brings more risk if customer satisfaction is important because people like me might come in the low season and have a bad experience if they expect people and socialization like I did. I came to experience Selina, not Athens. This Selina just happened to be in Athens. However, my experience was probably bad more due to management's lack of communication. I expected to socialize with people, meet people, and get the Selina experience. Instead, I was told two days prior to my trip that their rooftop area was closed. Half of their pictures on social media are of just the rooftop so it's clearly important. Upon arrival, I quickly realized that was the heart of this specific location. My week long stay was booked months ahead of time so staff knew we were coming and could have told us ahead of time so that we could come at another time when the rooftop would be open, but they didn't. I appreciate their attempts to remedy their lack of communication after we arrived but what I came here for was simply not available. On top of that, our neighbors would blast music long after quiet hours and they wouldn't listen to turn it down after several people told them. Again, staff did an exceptional job to attempt to remedy it but it's simply bad business to not deliver on your promises.

I spent with my husband an amazing time at Selina Hotel. We stayed there for a week. The room was very clean and comfortable and it had an amazing view from the balcony. The people were very friendly and helpful. The rooftop restaurant was superb, romantic and had spectacular views of the night-lit Acropolis. It is situated in the heart of Athens, 5 mins walk from the old Agora, the Flea Market, the traditional pedestrian streets and the cozy restaurants with the amazing food. I would highly recommend it. Rooms: Amazing, Super Clean, Spacious, Modern Nearby activities: Lots of activities organised by the hotel and around Safety: Very safe Walkability: 5 mins walk from downtown Athens Food & drinks: Nice bars

It's a nice place to go as a solo traveller because the place promotes co living and there's activities to get to know each other and I saw ppl gathering to cook lunch together However the standard room looks very nice but after living there, it did not seem like it. First of all, there's not enough light in the room, secondly the bathroom was always wet because the door to shower could not hold all the water in coming while showering. Also I would appreciate a private fridge, hair drier. The building is located not in the safest neighborhood in the city, frankly to say We liked: wifi, interior, common facilities, welcome drink

The hostel itself is very nice, but some of the customer service does not compare to the other Selina's I have stayed at in the past. I booked a taxi through them to take my group to the ferry, and the taxi was over an hour late getting to us, and the front desk didn't contact the taxi agency until the third time I stood in line to ask about it.

The best hotel in the city. I worked since 2008 in hotels in Spain. And this hotel is the best. The front desk staff are awesome, polite always smiling and very profesional. The roof top and its staff amazing. Thanks you guys you make our stay unforgettable. Looking foward to visit you soon. All the bestRooms: 5/5

I have been very happy with my stay at Selina. Few days before my trip, I had an issue with the hostel and the staff promptly and nicely helped me going above and beyond. They have a nice and small library to relax with plenty of books in English and a small cinema room with a big screen to watch Netflix. My room also had a view on the Parthenon and this honestly made my whole vacation. There s constructions going on around from what I could see so far they are uncovering old Greek remains so it was quite cool to watch it from my balcony and a bar/night club quite close but to be honest if you are planning to spend the whole time visiting Athens you ‘ll be out by the time they start the works and knocked out at night despite the music The area is a bit rough but very soon you will realise how close it is to everything! The staff is great and can give you great recommendations on places to eat/drink. I travelled solo and felt safe enough in that area. Hope to come back next year!
