One Three One - in the Heart of Athens

Perfect stay for 24 hours in Athens! Location is great! Lovely courtyard to sit in the morning to drink coffee. Walking distance to all places you want to see in 24 hours.

As the owner/manager reacted inappropriate to our justified complaint, we have to give a bad rating. Upon Arrival we learned that there was no balcony with our room (which was my major and promised booking criteria: "This double room has a balcony") but instead the room was opening to a shared patio with stairs leading up to a shared roof terrace (whis was in a sad state). The door to the patio has no window, thus it is quite dark in the room when the door is closed. The instant communication about this incorrect room description and the missing balcony was rather unpleasant: the answer was something like "there is not mentionned anywhere that the balcony is private. hopefully you can enjoy the view on the acropolis from the roof terrace". Obviously the shared roof terrace is the "balcony". We stayed in the room for about an hour and then decided to book another stay for our four nights in Athens (same prize, Athenian View Loft, perfect stay by all means). Owner or manager Maira refused to give us at least a part of our money back. Instead she cancelled our booking as "now-show", although we had checked in (and out). During our short stay, we took some pictures which show that there is room for improvement - regarding comfort as the too small mattress topper ot the blackish corners in the bathroom) and above all the business philosophy (selling something under false premises and refusing to refund). Obviously the room descriptions on bookingcom have been corrected after our complaint. Probaly the owner will answer to this post and spend a lot of energy in explaining why we as guests are wrong and stupid, as she did in earlier critical remarks. The whole things was an unpleasant and expensive experience.
