Room With an Anti-View: Athens King Jason Hotel Not Fit For A King

You know the scene. You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view. Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring at an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing it is not extremely pleasurable. Help out your fellow hotel mavens by uploading your anti-views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number with the not-so-easy-on-the-eyes view.
When you're on your honeymoon, you're hoping not to come up against any hotels worthy of our anti-view series, but even though a guidebook recommended the King Jason Hotel in Athens, Greece, to the (unlucky) boeke, that doesn't guarantee a great view. As proven by this particularly grotty view out of the King Jason at night.

Greece Hotel Guide :: Order Out of Chaos at the Ochre & Brown Hotel

Our far-flung correspondent Monica Guy has once again slapped together a guide to city we have only dreamed about visiting. This time, she's summing up various hotels in Greece. Got a tip, question or suggestion about where to stay? Send it our way.
Chaos. It's a Greek word originally, and it's exactly what you'll find in Greece's capital of Athens.
Chaotic driving, chaotic shopping, chaotic, hot, throbbing nightlife. It's good chaos - especially if you need a break from the boring predictability of an office - and one of the most fun and alive places to visit in southern Europe.
The hotel scene is as chaotic as the rest of the city. We've had the quintessential English hotel, we've had the typical Spanish hotel and a few classic Spanish New Year's Eve hotels and now we were hoping to bring you the classic Greek hotel.
But we can't - a typical Greek hotel doesn't exist. They're not all as bad as this guest's experience and they're not all as weird as this one. easyCruise have just set up a kind of floating hotel but let's face it, that's not so typical either.
Our Greek spies are out looking for a way to make sense of the chaos - or at least to make sure you end up under a clean pair of sheets every night. Today, Athens - the rest of the week, we'll take a tour of some of the best Greek islands.
