Guest reviews
Recent reviews shared by hotel guests
We had such a good stay at Urban Donkey Hotel in September 2025 that it added to our whole Thessaloniki experience, so we returned at the start of May 2026. We hope to come back again. A bus stop for line 26 is right outside, and a metro station is close by, with bus 02X connecting well to the airport. It’s around a 10-15 minute walk to Aristotelous Square and the seafront promenade. The hotel is also well placed for restaurants and sights, with the Holy Church of the Holy Apostles, one of Thessaloniki’s oldest churches, just steps away. The staff were welcoming, helpful, pleasant, and never intrusive, which made the stay relaxing. Our room was clean, had what was advertised, and everything in it and around the hotel worked properly. The hotel has an interesting, unconventional industrial design. Bottled water, coffee, and tea were free all day in reception. There are several nice little places to eat nearby, including the bakery Bougatsa Sarri and cafés like Foinix, plus a supermarket close by.
The cleaning team made this hotel special for me. Five-star cleaning, our room was spotless. The terrace view is really nice too, and the sound insulation is good. Getting to the city centre takes a bit of walking, but not too much.
The hotel is in a great location, and both the room and shared areas were clean. I stayed four nights and had no trouble with late check-in or late check-out. Free water was available at reception each day. My only small issues were the city noise outside at night and the air conditioning not working very well.
I stayed for five days. The room was clean, the service was nice, and they cleaned on request. It’s also close to the metro. Still, I wouldn’t return. The bathroom smelled strongly of old wood and the old building, and the room had a smell too, though opening the window helped clear it. The bathroom has no window. There’s central heating but NO AC, and at the end of April the heat and insects made it hard to sleep a few times. I had a room with a big balcony, so I don’t think there’s a better one in the building. It wasn’t a disaster, but I wouldn’t stay again.
This was already my second stay, and I’d come back again. The prices are affordable, the rooms are spacious and very clean, and the beds are especially comfortable. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from downtown. Around the corner there’s a 24/7 dragstor, so you can always get something to eat or drink. The staff were polite, spoke many foreign languages fluently, and offered free coffee at reception.
