Why is your room rate lower than on the official website of the hotel?
On the official websites of hotels, the base price is most often offered, while in hotel booking systems (Hotels, Agoda, Booking, Expedia, etc.) there are almost always special offers and discounts. And since Hotelhunter finds and compares prices in all hotel booking systems at once, taking into account promotional and discount offers, prices here may be lower than on the official websites of hotels.
The cost of rooms in hotels is directly dependent on the seasonal demand. However, many hotels in Athens may offer booking discounts in May 2024. Use the search on our website to see the current discounts and special offers. Discount hotels will be marked with a special sign in the search results.
Do I need to leave a deposit if the room has already been paid for?
The requirement to leave a deposit is rare. If the guest plans to live in the apartment, then he may be required to provide a security deposit.
Many hotels in Athens have another practice - the administration "freezes" a certain amount on the guest's credit card, which is returned after the check-out. This is necessary to compensate in the event that the client damaged the furniture or tried to move out without paying for additional services (SPA procedures, dinner at a restaurant, etc.)
We always try to find the right conditions for our clients. In almost all cases, you can cancel your booking for free one day before check-in time. In addition, there are additional offers that allow you to cancel your booking one hour before the check-in time.
There are situations when customers book rooms for the dates they need with a big discount. In this case, cancellation may be charged and you will have to pay a fine
When the high season in Athens starts, the rooms are being "bought up" faster. Hotels tend to tighten conditions to minimize cancellation rates. We recommend that you review the cancellation policy before booking your accommodation during high-demand periods. All information is presented in the section "Cancellation Policy".

Early check-in or late check-out.

The conditions and the possibility of providing an early check-in or a late check-out should be found out in advance from the hotel administrator.
Is the price indicated for one person or for the whole room?
The accommodation cost is indicated for the room as a whole, taking into account the number of people that was indicated during the search. For example, if during the search 3 people were indicated, then its results will display the cost of the whole triple room, if 1 person was indicated, then in the results you will see the price of a single room. Please note that search results do not include additional services (SPA treatments, extra bed, pet, etc.). To order any additional service, it is better to personally contact the hotel and clarify its availability and cost.
Is it possible to choose a floor?
In most cases, the guest cannot independently choose the floor, but at the same time he can indicate his wishes in the booking request or say them by contacting the hotel directly (by phone or e-mail). In cases where the demand for room stock is low, hotels can take into account the wishes of customers.
