Morning and night reception staff were helpful and friendly. Afternoon to evenning guy who worked at the reception was not friendly at all. A few times I said hi as I come and go and he didn’t say hi or looked at me. Around 3 am someone was trying to unlock my room door. Somehow this stranger guy unlocked the door and stepped inside of my room. I was awake luckly and shouted at him to get out. He said sorry and left my room. I could’t sleep the rest of the night. I don’t understand how his key opens my door. I will not go back to this hotel. I didn’t feel safe after this incident.

The hotel is 5 min walking to the metro. Value for money. Only negative point was, the shower cubicals were too small and one cubical was leaking water to the toilet floor making it wet all the time after a shower. We were 4 persons in two combined room with two separate bathrooms.

Excellent location to walk to train station. Footpath suitcase friendly👍. Arriving from airport, 2 stops after Synagma Square you just walk across the road to Socrates Hotel. We made a mistake and got off at Synagma square then needed a taxi, costing an extra 12 euros that wouldn’t have been necessary. We would definitely stay there again for the extreme convenience. We also just walked across to the station to go to Meteora. A beautiful petrol station around the corner with beautiful food and drinks was fantastic. Thank you Vangeli

Installations are old style, bathroom so small, air conditioning takes long to refresh the room. It's OK in general only for sleeping. Convenient YES because is close to the Train and metro stations, as well is all walkable to restaurants and mini-market.

The good; - Great access to Larissa Metro - Near 2 large supermarkets - Fairly quiet - Supplied baby cot was excellent - Linen was clean and new towels were given daily - Hotel arranged a taxi to the airport and it was reasonable (€48 on a Sunday) - Local coffee place is excellent The bad; - Rooms had no basic amenities (kettle, cups, tea/coffee) - Shower flooded the (micro) bathroom floor when used - Room layout makes having a baby cot awkward and cramped - Wifi coverage is poor, and internet speed is not fast enough for even Youtube streaming. The ugly; - Restaurant closed in 2022/23, with no plans to re-open. Website still shows this as functioning - ITS NOT! - Bed mattresses are made of stone and linen is old a frayed - Hotel has a single kettle for boiling water. - There is no bar, only a vending machine - It's a 30 to 45 minute walk to the centre, 15 by taxi or 10 on the Metro. I would not walk it even in the cooler months. While Socrates may once have been a good choice, now I would only stay here as a last resort. It's dated, has no facilities or amenities, and is not near to the centre where the good restaurants and cafe;s are. The hotel two doors down would be a better stay if you wanted to be in this area specifically.

A good cheap hotel close to Larissa/athens train station. Its beds are a bit hard and bathroom is a bit small but the aircon worked for us and it was cheap. One of the receptionists- Stefan was really nice! If you want a cheap place in a good travel location without a hefty price tag then this is the place for you!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was small and the Bath room was the smallest ever seen, The toilette uncomfortable due limited space to even turn around and a small wash basin and shower adjoining. The floor outside gets wet since shower door does not close well. Since rooms are not cleaned daily had to use wet rug till check out. There was no kettle or cups to make a warm drink. The restaurant in location run down and closed. My husband was sick while there and got worse since no warm water to make medicine and cups. When it would have been nice if we were informed as at checking as I inquired hot water kettle and was informed no kettle in the room. Later next day learnt that hot water could be given. We had a very uncomfortable stay there. No descent restaurant around with nice food even. There was a nice cafe with many coffee types down the road but saw it while on the way to airport. Hotel had not much info.
