Zeus Dolce Athens

Localisation of the hotel is pleasant. I had a double room view on mountains. The air conditioning did not work in the room. The bathroom is poor lit and poor lit soundproofed. The service at the pool bar is not friendly, probably due to the presnece of a holiday club antenna. This presence lowers the standing of the hotel that deserves o renovation

Getting to the hotel was fine, and I have to admit the property itself is beautiful, with gorgeous scenery and spacious rooms. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives mostly end. The room I was given, Room 419, had a very distinctive and unpleasant smell — like a dirty mop that had been sitting around for days. It was a strong, musty, almost moldy smell that immediately made the room uncomfortable. I called the staff and asked someone to come clean the room or at least provide something I could use to freshen it up. Two hours passed and nobody showed up. I called again, and eventually a housekeeper came about 30 minutes later and sprayed some air freshener. I asked if she could leave the spray in the room because of the persistent smell, but she said she couldn’t and took it with her. Needless to say, the smell remained. I complained to the front desk again, hoping they would offer to move me to another room. So far, nothing. The restaurant was another disappointment. The restaurant wasn’t even particularly busy, yet getting a table took far too long. Once seated, I had to repeatedly get someone’s attention just to receive basic service. I had to get up and find a waitress to get a menu, then wait a long time to order. I had to get up again to ask for salt and pepper — she misunderstood and brought only pepper, so I had to get up again to ask for salt. When I wanted dessert, I once again had to get out of my chair and find someone to bring me a menu. Then, after waiting, I had to wave her down again just to place my dessert order. And when the bill arrived, the first thing I was asked was whether I wanted to leave a tip. Absolutely not. A tip is for good service, and unfortunately, I didn’t receive that. The hotel staff are friendly enough, but I wouldn’t describe the service as exceptional. They do what they’re supposed to do, but there is no sense of attentiveness or urgency when a guest has a problem. It’s only my first day here, and unfortunately, the experience has already been enough for me to say: Would I stay here again? Never.

Very poor experience, no way near 5 star. 3 Star at the best. The place smelled unplesantly, the food was dismal, And food was bad not only occasionally, but every single day, the breakfast and the dinner were very poor. The service in the restaurant, was very badly organised , shortage of staff, one waiter running around, shortage of cutlery, you name it. Only one towel provided to guest for 3 days, no changing before, Is that a 5 star servixe?!!! Unless one pays momey, you are sitted in a very dark area of the restaurant. AVOID this place! On positive side the beach, sea , neauture is beautiful.

I’m so glad I didn’t cancel my stay after reading the mixed reviews. I stayed for five nights in early August and had an excellent experience. The public areas are beautifully designed, and my room was clean and comfortable. Although there were a few narrow spots. I’m very sensitive to dust in hotel rooms. and sometimes even in my own bedroom, but I slept wonderfully here. Of course, anyone looking for hidden flaws or signs that the property is beginning to show its age will probably find some, but I wasn’t focused on that. The staff were truly exceptional and went out of their way to help. I apologize in advance for any spelling mistakes or for leaving out the names of team members I didn’t get a chance to ask about. When I was stung by a jellyfish (don’t be alarmed, I was the only one, so I assume it was just bad luck), Adissas, the nice pool lifeguard, immediately came to help. He knew exactly what to do and kept checking on me for about half an hour, bringing Fenistil every few minutes and then getting ice for me from the pool bar. When I went to reception, Roula and another very kind woman- whose name I unfortunately forgot to ask for- offered to see whether they had any extra Fenistil I could borrow. When no extra ointment could be found, they arranged a taxi for me and called a nearby pharmacy to confirm that it was in stock. Many thanks also to Mirto at reception, who assisted me with great kindness and courtesy. Food: Breakfast was perfectly adequate, and thank you to Nick for helping me warm up my gluten-free bread. I had dinner at the hotel’s à la carte restaurant once. The salmon was very good, but the selection was limited and, of course, quite expensive. Personally, I preferred taking the bus into town. It costs €1.20 on the bus, you can pay contactlessly without buying a ticket in advance, and buses run approximately every 20 minutes. It’s not a long walk, but there’s no sidewalk, so it’s really dangerous. About five minutes away, there is the Korali restaurant, and around 15 minutes away, there is a much wider selection of restaurants. I particularly enjoyed Marida, which is right on the beach, the fish was excellent. There is also the Artemis Fish Tavern, just a few minutes’ walk from the hotel, along the path between the pool and the beach. There, you can go with the waiter to the refrigerator and choose fresh fish and seafood. There is a small grocery store called OK Market just outside the hotel grounds, where you can find everything you need. The room also has an empty, convenient mini-fridge for storing food and drinks. As for the unusual beach: it really is unusual. Most of it is grass, with a very small strip of hard sand, and access to the water is via a pier. Families with young children should keep in mind that there is no shallow-water area. For me, however, as someone who dislikes sand, the grass was perfect. The only real downside was the small elevators. I walked whenever I could, though, and that was actually quite pleasant. Depending on where your room is located, most places are only one or two floors away by stairs. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again.

Amazing location , nice atmosphere, rooms cleaned, friendly staff. Best regards to Waldek😀
