My stay in Neos Olympos hotel in Athens was my worst hotel-based experience. Besides the facts that the rooms where not being cleaned by the cleaning lady (after complaining they cleaned the room once) and the room had such a terrible smoke-smell the window could not be closed. It's not a safe place to stay.
The man at the reception let a group of 10 drunken guys in, who started throwing bottles out of the windows en yelling. They tried to open my hotel room. I called the reception 5 times telling them what was happening and that I was afraid, they just hung up!
After the guys emptying the fire extinguisher in my room, I had to go downstairs in pyjamas. Still the receptionist ignored me, and said 'they are just kids' (guys around 25+ years old)
The next day I complained again, they didn't want to help me, so I went to another hotel.
Really, if you want to have a safe stay in Athens, and enjoy your holiday, don't go to this hotel, it will give you absolutely the wrong impression of how the people in Greece are.
(After this I stayed in hotel Myrto in Nikis street (near to Syntagma square), where they where really nice and helpful)
