The place is family owned; authentic and genuine. The staff are amazing. Front desk Olga was very helpful in answering my questions and took time to write things down with places names and addresses. I am grateful that these places still around.

Quite place to stay in Athens.
It was a nice bed and breakfast hotel in a very nice neighborhood of Athens. Nearby places to eat and shop. Easy pick up point for the Uber Taxi. Breakfast was nice and the staff excellent.

No frill but plenty of potential.
This place was great with no frills. It’s a short bus ride to Acropolis, and other sites, great little restaurant just down the street and around the corner, for som authentic Mediterranean food. The place itself is situated in a small part of town, and could use a bit of upkeep but for the price it’s a bargain and Close to things to see.

Far from the Tourist Area
If your first time in Athens I don't recommend this hotel. It's far from the tourist area. Its residential area and not dangerous. The hotel is quite old fashion and you can hear noise from the corridor and from the other rooms i mean the acoustic is not good. The room was not very comfortable.

Hotelier vs Hotel.com
Decent inexpensive hotel, clean rooms, modern bath w/great shower. Upon arrival tho and showing my H's dc reservation, I was told they were fully booked but if I wanted to wait till 11p, a departing guest's room would become available. Having reserved, I accepted. Next morning Hotelier did not recognize Hotels dc and insisted I pay for the room before leaving. He refused to look at my iPhone receipt as he was suspicious of internet commerce - he wanted paper. He also said my appearance displaced another guest the night before. 90 minutes later and 3 times disconnected from "24 hour" service in the US I paid again for the room. 2 days later I received an email from an accountant at Nicola apologizing for the misunderstanding and offering a refund if I provide cc info. HUGE DISCONNECT between Hotels dc and this establishment. Would stay at Nicola again but not thru Hotels dc.

Do Not Use This Hotel !
this is the worst place I have ever stayed. should have taken note of the previous reviews. this hotel was dirty and located in the worse part of Athens. they tried to make us (and other guests ) pay again saying they had not received payment. they became agressive when we refused.

This is not a hotel buth a dirty space!
This place can you hardly call a Hotel. The room is equiped with something as an airconditioning buth not working at all. The safe is not working (even no batteries!) The bathroom is something from 100 years ago, I even can not describe what kind of dirth is in that room. The toiletbrush ...... never cleaned and with 1 kg of .... ! I am a frequent traveller and this is the worst thing I ever have seen in my live. I can recommend to everybody to stay away from that place. By the way: all te rooms

Hotel Nicola - Good Value and Service
The Hotel Nicola is a straightforward, good value European-style hotel. I stayed there with my girlfriend for two nights. The room was entirely satisfactory: comfortable beds, working AC, balcony, TV, hot water in the showers (not always a sure thing in Greece). The hotel isn't particularly close to central Athens -- 15-20 minute walk plus two stops on the subway -- but that's why it's cheap. The staff recommended a local restaurant just a couple of blocks away and it was one of the best places we went in Athens. The park across the main street is also really pleasant, nice for walking and fills up with families and kids playing soccer in the evenings. The included breakfast was ample and tasty. Minor complaints: The safe in the room didn't work, and the free WiFi didn't reach up to the fourth floor where our room was. The hotel's a little hard to find, and there's a tree growing in front of the sign that makes it harder.

Good value for a budget weekend break
We spent one night in the Nicola to attend a football match in Athens. The hotel had all the basics that we were looking for and we found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. Don't be intimidated by the hotel's narrow backstreet location, it's a 5 Euro taxi ride from the main Syntagma square which connects you by Metro to almost everywhere in the city. If you're looking for an inexpensive hotel with all the basics for a fast-paced city break then the Nicola is a good choice.

Nice, quiet hotel a bit further from downtown
We stayed one night at Hotel Nicola. The staff was very helpful and friendly with finding bus stops, the nearest metro, and letting us keep our bags in a storage room during the day after checkout. This hotel is definitely worth the price, so long as you don't mind walking 12 or so blocks to the nearest metro stop.

Leider wurden wir in unserer ersten Nacht von Bettwanzen im Zimmer überrascht. Nach einer Beschuldigung, wir hätten diese von zu Hause mitgebracht (hatten wir definitiv nicht!) und einer kurzen Diskussion, bekamen wir dann ein 2.Zimmer, wo wir eine weitere Bettwanze an der Wand fanden. Nach einer weiteren unschönen Diskussion mitten in der Nacht mit dem Herrn von der Rezeption bekamen wir dann unser 3.Zimmer mit dem Satz: "This is you last chance! If you find another one, I will call the Police...", als ob wir was dafür könnten, wenn das Hotel ein Bettwanzenproblem hat. Das 3.Zimmer was zum Glück bettwanzenfrei und wir hatten keine nächtlichen Probleme mehr. Das Frühstück ist simple, aber gut. Die Möbel etc waren eher schon etwas älter, aber funktionsfähig. Die Damen an der Rezeption tagsüber waren nett. Das Hotel liegt relativ zentral und an einer kleineren Straße, wodurch es halbwegs ruhig ist (ich glaube Athen ist grundsätzlich NIE ruhig, das liegt aber am Land/der Stadt, nicht an der Lage). Aufgrund des Bettwanzen-Vorfalls werde ich persönlich dort nicht mehr buchen.

Sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites und verlässliches Personal!!! Angenehm einfach und normal im Umgang...DANKE dafür! Das Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen, was aber eben auch seinen besonderen Charm ausmacht. Die Einrichtung des Zimmers ist einfach und zweckmäßig gehalten. Wichtig ist die Klimaanlage, für die Zeit der heißen Tage in Athen. Die Zimmer, wie das gesamte Hotel sind sauber und ordentlich. Das Frühstück war super! Etwa 300 Meter vorm Hotel fährt ein Trolley-Bus Richtung Zentrum...die nächste Metro-Station ist zu Fuß etwa 25 Min. entfernt (Ambelokipi). Von dort aus geht es auch direkt zum Flughafen (Fahrt dauert etwa 35 Min.). Ebenfalls in direkter Nähe zum Hotel liegt ein gut ausgestatteter Supermarkt (200 Meter). Ich kann das Hotel uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen! Einzig das die Metro zu Fuß nicht in direkter Nähe liegt, ist zumindest bei der Anreise etwas anstrengend. Aber Athen will ja "erfahren" werden und da schadet ein bischen laufen nicht.

It wan't near to the centre so you have to walk like 3 min and wait for 224 bus or trolley 15. Can it be a hotel? well...I don't think it's worth that price..The room is a dirty, including the bedsheet...During the last night of our stay, there was a water leakage on a corner of the ceiling! Though they offered a room changing we just let it be as we would leave in the next day. Only one good thing was the old staff of the reception are mostly helpful and nice!

Dear Quanna, First of all we would like to thank you for choosing our hotel for your stay in Athens. Our hotel operates since 1980 accommodating many guests all those years. I am really sorry we did not manage to meet your expectations. I am sorry also for the water leakage, it has been 4 very difficult days for Athens due to unusual weather conditions we faced. The water leakage has not happened before and now the problem is solved. I proposed you a room change but you preferred not to. Also you were very thankful and did not mention anything about the cleanliness problems upon check-out, or during your stay, so I thought that you were satisfied by your stay. I am sorry once again that you were not. Kind regards, Kostas Kalyvis Hotel Manager

Niezapomniane w Atenach
Mieszkaliśmy w hotelu Nicola wykorzystując go jako bazę wypadową do Aten w celu zwiedzania zabytków. Niezastąpioną pomocą służył nam pracownik hotelu - pracownicy mówili na niego SZEF - o imieniu Niko. Poinformował nas o obiektach jakie warto zobaczyć, jak to zrobić, jak dojechać, jakie są ceny itp. kompedium wiedzy dobrego przewodnika. Jesteśmy mu wraz z małżonką bardzo za to wdzięczni. Śniadania trochę nudne, bo mały wybór potraw, ale można było się najeść i wyruszyć "w miasto" najedzonym. Pokoje czyste i zadbane, chociaż niektóre "patenty" zwłaszcza te zastosowane w łazience wzbudzały u mnie uśmiech, ale wszytko działało. Klimatyzacja sprawna, duży taras do naszej wyłacznej dyspozycji, wygodne łóżko i telewizor. Ogólnie polecam, zwłaszcza jeżeli ktoś nie chce wydać za dużo na hotel. W pobliżu hotelu znajduje się restauracja gdzie można porozumieć się po polsku, pracuje tam polska kucharka bardzo sympatyczna i uczynna. Wifi niestety bardzo kiepskie, korzystałem ze swojego mobilnego.

Godt central beliggende hotel
Hotellet er meget centralt beliggende tæt på buslinje 15, som går direkte til centrum og Akropolis. Området er stille og roligt og det er med lidt held muligt at finde parkering tæt på hotellet. Hotellet er gammelt og slidt og trænger til en renovering, men værelset var rent. Der er en lille altan med bord og stole til værelset. Et godt og venligt personale. Fint morgenmadsbuffet, som hele tiden bliver fyldt op. Meget godt brød. Der findes centralt køleskab m. fryser på gangen til opbevaring af mad- og drikkevarer.
