Home and Poetry Reviews

These people are the best! I booked my room last December but had problems with *********** and inadvertently reserved and paid for two rooms when I only needed one. The first through the *********** site and the second on Home & Poetry's own web site. I didn't discover the error until I arrived at the hotel and was told what I had done. They could have rightfully insisted that I bear the responsibility for my mistake, but didn't. They graciously refunded the total cost of the second room even though this most certainly resulted in a financial loss for themselves. I felt awful for my mistake and offered to pay for the room but they refused to accept it saying my happiness was more important to them than the money. I'm still amazed! The room was perfect. Small but clean, well stocked with beverages and delightfully cool. I chose one of the hottest summers on record to visit Athens! Home & Poetry is located quite literally minutes from everything I wanted to see in this historic city. You won't need a taxi unless you want one. My friends and I walked everywhere even though it was 100 degrees all three days we were there. The free breakfast was deliciously satisfying, the staff wonderfully accommodating. I just can't say enough good things about them! If I'm ever in Athens again, this is where I'll stay.
