At best this is a two star hotel. The price does reflect it. When we went to open our door, which would not latch closed, blocked us. Had to reach in and shut the closet door, then had to place our own elastic band to keep both doors from opening and blocking our way out. Beds were hard as rock and the inly cover was a thin bed sheet, so if you put on the AC, you froze. Room didnt look vacuumed. Bathroom ok. overall a shabby hotel with shabby lounge chairs on a rock beach that hurt your feet
Hotel is extremely dated. Sign in the elevator asks guests not to use A/C above 25 degrees Celsius (77F!) so as not to trigger a blackout. Beds are awful - hard & lumpy. Received only a single sheet for bed covering. The beach is nice. Water very clear. Lounge chairs on the beach mostly old and uncomfortable and in need of replacing.
The property is nothing like it looks in the pictures. It is in need of a major update. Beds are not comfortable and Baths are small and very dated. Not recommended if you are exp2cting anything more than a 2 star hotel.

The road to the Sun Hotel is blocked during the busy season with parked cars. Very hard to get thru to the Hotel.
They were not timely in returning our passport and we hard to go back later to get it. Not acceptable.
We arrived at the train station and called our driver to pick us up, he told us under 5 minutes and was there in 20, he was in a small car, we loaded our luggage then he told us he wanted to wait for the next train in half hour because that train had another couple staying at the hotel. We told him no way another couple and their luggage would fit in his car (as it was very small) and after some arguing we were off. Scariest drive of my life. We almost got in multiple accidents. We got to the hotel to check in and his wife greeted us and asked which name our reservation was under, we said both because we were unsure which one. She told us unless we knew which one we couldn't stay so we looked it up. Then she said she needed our passports for verification and after we let her see them she said she'd be keeping them till the end of our stay. We argued said she could take a copy if she absolutely needed but no way in hell was she keeping our passports. Then she said our reservation was only for one person not two and proceeded to argue again. It got to the point we had to go into Expedia and pull it up and show her and she still wouldn't believe us. After a ridiculous amount of arguing and despite us paying for a queen she gave us two singles. The room itself was cute, no arguments there, bed was hard, wifi didn't work but it had an adorable balcony out to the beach. The beach itself was perfection, so cute, such clear water, we were there at sunset and it was amazing.
Booked for 5 days stayed for 1. When we arrived the lady at the front desk was covered in flies, this should have told us to leave but we stayed and unpacked. We ordered food and when we sat down our food was covered in flies, couldn't even eat. We immediately packed and found a hotel in Glyfada.
Thank you Kostas and family for taking care of us. He stuck around and took us in even when we checked in late after a whole day of trodding around Acropolis and Athens Mall. The hotel building is quite old yet I know the family that runs it keeps it in check. The beach was beautiful with very clear yet cold waters. We came early June. The beach restaurant serves great seafood, coffee, and sandwiches in what seems like a five-star setting. All rooms face the ocean so our balcony has a million dollar view.

Nice hotel close to the beach but isolated
No major shopping areas near by and far away from the main city Athens
dated but clean hotel. Good price for location by beach front. Very friendly obliging owner who got up at 4.30am and gave us a huge takeaway breakfast as we had an early morning flight to catch.

perfect "budget" hotel, close to city
30 mins drive to Athens airport, easy drive to return rental car. Family run hotel, everyone was very helpful, food was delicious, and reasonable, right on a beautiful beach, hard to believe we were so close to the city.
Lovely family run hotel right on the beach. The friendliness and service from the owners was excellent and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it and shall certainly return!

Nice hotel
It's a little far out from the center but the staff will pick you up from the train station and drop you off so it's worth asking about and they couldn't be nicer people if they tried. The beach it just next to the bar and there's lots of space.
