Twinn Downtown Piraeus

Getting around was easy, with shops and restaurants nearby, the ferry port an easy walk away, and a metro station for Athens and the Airport just a few minutes off. There's also a tram stop close by. All the staff I met were friendly, helpful and spoke excellent English. I'd be very happy to come back. I stayed over New Year and Epiphany and really enjoyed it. My single room was small, but had a very comfortable double bed, an excellent shower, a fridge, a large TV with YouTube and enough storage. Breakfast was freshly made rather than buffet style, with a good choice and excellent quality. From the large roof terrace, I watched the New Year's Eve fireworks in splendid isolation.

I've stayed here regularly and have loved it every time. The rooms are neat and very clean, and the breakfast is tasty with plenty of choice. Shops and coffee shops are an easy walk away, and the port is nearby too. The staff are always super friendly and helpful. They greet you with a smile, help whenever you need something and look after you throughout the stay. I'd recommend the place to couples, families or solo travelers, and I'll definitely return when I'm next in Piraeus. Thanks to the staff for always making our visits so enjoyable!

The only snag for us was arranging a ride to the cruise terminal. It's about 7 minutes away, and drivers seemed to prefer longer trips. We tried Uber and FreeNow for around 45 minutes without finding a taxi, then walked, which took about 45 minutes. The walk was fine, just unexpected, so I'd suggest booking ahead or being ready to go on foot. The rest of the stay was wonderful. My husband and I booked a couple of days before our cruise, and after flight delays we landed in Athens around 2 AM. Once our taxi ride to the hotel took about 45 minutes, the manager offered us water and checked us in. We'd heard about water escaping from the shower, and turning it off between washing and rinsing helped. The shampoo and body wash smell amazing. We ate at the cafe both mornings. Breakfast is a must try, with big portions, a fruit plate that never disappointed, and top notch service. Try the freshly squeezed orange juice if it's available. The hospitality was lovely, and the nearby streets are easy to walk around, with plenty of lively spots to eat, drink and hang out. We were glad we found this hotel and would book again if we're ever in Piraeus.

We only had one night here after our flight to Athens, and wished we could have stayed longer. The room was clean and had everything we needed, with a very comfortable bed and duvet. From our corner room, we had a lovely view. The hotel is handy for travel days, close to both the train station and the port. The receptionist on duty that night was kind and lovely, and gave us some great recommendations.
