We went to COLORS Athens with decently high expectations, given it's #35 ranking in all of Athens and 4.7 overall rating. ||I'll start with the positives: the client service was excellent. We dealt with 4-5 different employees in various circumstances (check-in/out, room service, general questions) and all were fantastic to deal with. The lobby was okay (much darker than the pictures suggest though) and there is a cute little terrace at the front of the hotel. It also located in a great area and we were to walk many places.||However the negatives cannot be ignored. The room was extremely dark and small. We had a standard room with a larger bed (and bunk beds attached to the wall for some reason) but it was tough to just move one checked baggage around, nevermind more than one (which we had). There was also no room to put said baggage anywhere so if you lay it on the floor to open it and get things, you can no longer walk around. The shower also accumulated water very easily. So much so that I had to start the shower to get water on me, turn it off, wash myself, then turn it back on to rinse. If i let it on for a standard 3-4 minute shower, the water would be around my ankles. Finally, for those who don't know, you can't/it is not recommended to flush any toilet paper in the toilet in most of Athens. However, even if our garbage was cleaned out, the room and most of the floors with rooms smelled of sewage and poop constantly. ||In summary, the price you pay for where it is and the service you get is great. But there are tons of things that should temper your expectations. I'd give it a 2.5/5, but since we can't give it half ratings, I give it a 3 based on location, service, and price.
