Hotel El Greco

We stayed at El Greco hotel at the beginning and the end of our trip. First we came with a rented car and at the end we used the bus from and to the airport where we returned the rental car. The hotel is very easy to reach both by car and buy airport bus (the bus stop is almost in front of the hotel), but note that there are many stops and the bus is very crowded. So you may prefer taxi. I found the breakfast absolutely great. A lot of choice, traditional soup, stuffed vine leaves, various local pies, beans, different kinds of eggs and bacon, almond milk and variety of fruit and cakes. Cereals, yogurth (full fat and reduced fat), butter and margarine, jam and honey. So even as a vegan I could enjoy a wonderful breakfast. The beds were fine, enough room for two big suitcases, very spacious shower cabin, soft towels. The hotel is on a busy street, so it gets noisy from traffic, ask for a room not facing the main street (Egnatia) if you have a light sleep.

Initially, I didn't have so many expectations, I thought it would only be a 3-star hotel, which is also a bit far from the center, but my expectations were exceeded!!! The size of the room is generous, we had a triple room and we didn't bump into each other at all, the bathroom was large, it had a large balcony, kettle, tea, coffee refilled daily, fridge. The breakfast was the best of the 3 locations where I stayed this vacation and I also stayed at a 4-star hotel in Kalambaka. The one from El Greco was far above the 4-star one! The distance from the center is small, you can find everything nearby, restaurants, cafes, supermarkets. I came from the airport by bus and the station is about 100m away. The internet worked extremely well and was never interrupted during the 5 days I was there!

We arrived by plane in Thessaloniki, so we took a direct bus in front of the airport that left us a few minutes walk to hotel. The hotel is located on a lively main boulevard in the city. Many shops, taverns and supermarkets can be reached within walking distance. 15 minutes walk away are the train station and the harbor, while another 20 minutes away are the white famous tower and the city's main sights. They accepted our check-in early, answered and helped us with all our questions and requests regarding the sights in the city and surroundings, public transport and local tips, the reception staff being absolutely wonderful. The room where we were accommodated was a standard matrimonial room, quite spacious, located on the upper floor, equipped with air conditioning, small refrigerator, lcd TV, with a generous balcony, where we could admire and take the pulse of the city from the top. The room was cleaned daily and towels were changed. The breakfast was a Swedish buffet, quite good containing, among other things, local Greek products, which was a plus. I didn't try wi-fi, having enough mobile data allocated while roaming.

the location of the hotel is very sufficient and the hotel rooms are very clean. The rooms were very comfortable.

Hotel is keeping its standard good service and excellent breakfast, location is very convenient, just 5-10 minutes from Aristotelous Place.
