Thank you for sharing your feedback on Dolce by Wyndham Athens Attica Riviera. It is highly appreciated and of course, we take that into deep consideration and will not book this hotel for anyone else in the future. They were supposed to have a full renovation last year around this time. I assume they actually never did. And now knowing that even the staff did not do their utmost best to offer a pleasant stay, that is a red line! I am really so sorry you had this experience at this accommodation and I truly thank you very much for your sincere feedback.

My best to the whole family,
Angela
Yamas! 🥂
