Boasting 389 rooms, the Hotel Stanley is by far one of the larger hotels in Athens. The Stanley utilizes its space well, offering all the amenities traditionally associated with four-star hotel status.
One of the amenities one would not ordinarily find in a mid-range Athenian hotel is a swimming pool. In fact, most proprietors of moderately-priced hotels will actually laugh aloud if you ask if their hotel has one. So we love that the Stanley has an outdoor pool—located on the roof, no less, where it offers vistas of the Acropolis and Lykavittos.
The bedrooms are bright and welcoming with flaxen wood furniture and intense blue-and-yellow bedspreads.
The shower curtains are plastic versions of the bedroom curtains. What a commitment to matching! Everything else in the en suite bathrooms is sheer white, with some gray marbling through the sink’s surrounding countertop.
As the Metaxourgio metro station is directly across from the Stanley, getting out and about is a breeze—which is good, because there is not much to see in the hotel’s immediate surroundings.
