Unfortunately, not recommended – loud, louder, Gatsby Athens Hotel
Gatsby Athens的点评
点评:We were looking forward to staying in a stylish boutique hotel in the heart of Athens – but were deeply disappointed. From the very first night, sleep was impossible due to unbearable noise that lasted well into the night. The music wasn’t coming from a nearby bar, but from inside the hotel itself.
What makes it even more tragic: the music is part of the hotel’s own program. A musician plays an electric violin (or harp?) in the hotel’s bar, and the sound echoes throughout the building. We had hoped things would quiet down around 10 PM – but instead, the music just got louder. You have to decide: are you running a hotel or a nightclub? You can’t be both.
After a completely sleepless first night, we asked to switch rooms. The staff was very friendly and tried to help – but the second room was just as noisy. It seems there are no quiet rooms in the entire building.
So we didn’t even stay for the second night and checked out early. To the hotel’s credit, they did refund the nights we didn’t stay – that was at least something positive.
The rooms themselves are beautifully designed, and the staff is lovely – which makes it even more unfortunate that they have to suffer the consequences of poor management decisions. I genuinely felt sorry for them – they’re clearly doing their best, but there’s only so much you can do when someone insists on blasting live electric music through the whole hotel.
I’ve been traveling for over 40 years – and this is the first hotel we’ve ever had to flee from.
Bottom line: If you actually plan to sleep in Athens, do yourself a favor and book somewhere else. I honestly don’t understand how this hotel has received so many positive reviews.
翻译:我们原本期待着入住雅典市中心一家时尚的精品酒店,但却大失所望。从第一晚开始,我们就无法入睡,因为持续到深夜的噪音令人难以忍受。音乐并非来自附近的酒吧,而是从酒店内部传来的。
更令人难过的是:这音乐是酒店自己演奏的一部分。一位音乐家在酒店的酒吧里演奏着电子小提琴(或者竖琴?),声音回荡在整个酒店里。我们原本希望晚上10点左右能安静下来,但音乐声却越来越大。你必须做出抉择:你是经营酒店还是夜总会?两者不可兼得。
在度过了一个彻夜难眠的第一晚后,我们要求换房间。工作人员非常友好,并尽力提供帮助——但第二个房间也同样吵闹。看来整栋楼里没有安静的房间。
所以我们甚至没有住第二晚,就提前退房了。酒店值得称赞的是,他们退还了我们未入住的房费——这至少是件好事。
房间设计精美,员工服务热情周到——更令人遗憾的是,他们不得不承受糟糕的管理决策带来的后果。我真心为他们感到惋惜——他们显然已经尽力了,但当有人坚持要在整个酒店里播放现场电子音乐时,你能做的也有限。
我旅行了40多年——这是我们第一次不得不逃离的酒店。
总之:如果你真的打算在雅典过夜,那就帮自己一个忙,预订其他地方吧。说实话,我不明白这家酒店怎么会收到这么多好评。
