Andromeda Hotel is the central mid-range pick for travellers who care more about location than about extras. Its address is 5 Komninon and Kalapothaki, at Aristotelous Square, so the main public space of the city is on your doorstep, and the seafront, the covered markets and the cafe streets are all within walking distance. The hotel is described as a four-class property and offers free wifi, a restaurant, a bar, air conditioning, room service, a 24-hour front desk, laundry, tour and ticket assistance, an elevator and multilingual staff. Rooms have a private bath with a tub or shower, free toiletries and a desk, and many have a balcony. There are seven room types, so you can choose between a simple double and something larger. It is a practical base for first-time visitors on a sensible budget who plan to spend their days out.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at Aristotelous Square, the heart of the city, which means you can walk to the waterfront, the White Tower and the central monuments in a few minutes. Taxis from the square reach the Upper Town and the day trip meeting points quickly, and the neighbouring streets are full of cafes, bakeries and shops. The hotel does not offer parking, so if you arrive by car you will need to find a public garage nearby.
The rooms
There are seven room types, from standard doubles to larger rooms, and the rooms have air conditioning, desks, free toiletries and private bathrooms. Balconies are available in many rooms, which is a pleasure when the weather is mild, though a street-facing room can be noisy at night. A restaurant and bar are on site, and room service is available.
Who it suits
First-time visitors, couples and friends who want to be at the centre of things without paying for a luxury hotel. It is a solid choice for a long weekend. Travellers who want a spa, a pool or a large breakfast buffet will be better served elsewhere.
Good to know
Breakfast is not listed as included, and guest reviews differ on how it is served, so confirm the arrangements when you book and consider a bakery breakfast of bougatsa nearby. Some guest reviews mention that the building and rooms are older, so ask for a recently refreshed room if that matters to you. The hotel has no parking, and the building has an elevator.
