Stayed here for two night in June 2025 ahead of a week long cruise starting in Piraeus. After landing at Athens Airport we ordered a taxi through FreeNow, and this took around 45 minutes to get us to the hotel- cost was around 55 Euros.||When we arrived we pressed the front door buzzer and were let in- we took (the pretty small) lift up to the third floor where we were checked in pretty quickly. Our room was on the second floor and overlooked apartments at the back of the building, and we had no disturbance from outside during our stay.||The room was not particularly large, but provided enough space to store our luggage and offered storage areas to hang clothing. The bathroom was again small but well maintained, and there was also a good quality TV and wi-fi offered. There was a safe supplied but the instructions (found in the safe itself) were very confusing and we managed to lock it and not work out the opening process. We called on a member of staff who quickly resolved this (friends who were also staying in the hotel at the same time also had the same problem).||Tea and coffee-making facilities were provided, and though breakfast was offered we were on a room-only basis so went out each morning. We were glad we made this decision, as there a number of good quality cafes within walking distance, in particular on Vasilis Street and towards the Thiseio Metro station. We also ate out locally on both evenings of our stay, and again there a lot of restaurants closer by- we particularly liked Kotsakia & mantinades which is very close to the hotel and offered excellent home-style Greek food.||The hotel is well located, being only a short walk to the Acropolis and other tourist attractions but being on a mainly residential street. It is also close to the entertainment district of Gazi, and has an excellent supermarket literally next door. On the day of our departure to Piraeus to board our cruise our taxi cost 15 Euros for a 20-minute trip.||The stay at Be My Guest was a great start to our holiday, and would be happy to stay here again.
