Zeus Essence Ramada Athens

Awful hotel. The worst part of our 12-day trip to Greece. A few examples: (1) Upon my family's arrival around 2:00am, the front desk clerk was missing for at least 15 minutes. It was a little scary with various groups of men sitting in the lobby in the dark, but there were no hotel employees to be found. (2) We found ants in our room. I showed a videotape to the manager. (3) The rooms were not very nice. The front door to our room was damaged. (4) We arrived to breakfast at 10:15am. Breakfast ends at 10:30am. Around 10:45am, we were asked to leave so the staff could clean. Avoid this hotel.

This place is such a perfect place to stay at if visiting Athens. Clean swimmable beach, excellent amenities (the gym may need refurb). It is run by very nice people, like Nicholas, Penelope and Evelyn that help your every need. The rooms are clean and most have serene views. Parking is free across the street and I would walk for hours around the area. Athens is 40 min away. I would park my car at the airport 20 min away and take the train. I had a great stay, awesome breakfast, clean rooms, peaceful views and run by really good people

My experience was lovely. Katherine was a lovely lady who knew exactly the type of massage I needed. She went above and beyond to ensure the right massage was booked with the right price. Stratos (The massuse) was quite good. The hands was smooth and relaxing. I dozed off during the massage. The price of the message was worth.

I had the opportunity to stay at both Zeus Dolce Ramada in Vravrona and Zeus Essence in Attica, and I’d like to share my honest experience. The Zeus Dolce Ramada truly stands out in terms of infrastructure. It is more luxurious, clearly more renovated, with spacious facilities and a wide range of services. My stay there was excellent, and I was very satisfied with the overall comfort and quality. On the other hand, when I arrived at Zeus Essence in Attica, my first impression was more mixed. It felt more modest and somewhat less updated, and it also took me longer to get there compared to the Dolce, which initially added to my frustration. However, everything changed completely thanks to the team at the hotel—especially the manager. Her level of care, dedication, and willingness to help was exceptional. She went out of her way to assist me, even trying to arrange kosher food, guiding me on how to get to the city center, and making sure every concern I had was addressed. That level of human quality and genuine service completely transformed my experience. In the end, my takeaway is very clear: At Dolce Ramada, I was happy because of the infrastructure and comfort. At Zeus Essence Attica, I was happy because of the people. And that made all the difference.

This hotel has staff that make you feel welcome at every turn. They work hard to represent Greece as a welcoming place to visit. We picked this hotel strictly for location to the airport and Rafina port. And we came back to it twice during our 3 week vacation and every time we felt that embracing welcome. Walking the area was also relaxing and pleasant with good options to eat close by although to be honest this place is so inviting it’s hard to leave. The areas to relax and unwind are endless. The courtyard, poolside, out front with the waves crashing at the seawall, the dining room, the bar with the patio overlooking the sea, the upper deck area to play oversized chest or ping pong. It seemed to work for everyone. We saw many families, couples, newlyweds and lots of solo travelers as well. A shout out to the staff!, Anna, Konstantia, Najwa and numerous smiling faces whose names I have not written down. The recommendations were so helpful, (Anna even got me in to her dentist when I broke a tooth) I would recommend this as a great place to get your bearings in Greece.
