I knew this was a budget hotel and adjusted my expectations accordingly, but even considering that, the experience was disappointing.
I requested a street-facing room when booking but was assigned a small room overlooking a noisy, dusty construction site. The room also appeared significantly smaller than the one shown in the hotel’s website photos, which I found misleading.
Communication before arrival was unnecessarily repetitive, with staff repeatedly requesting information I had already provided.
As an Expedia Gold member, my booking included a complimentary upgrade subject to availability. Higher-category rooms were available on several booking platforms, yet management insisted there was no availability. I took screenshots and will be raising this with Expedia, as it appears inconsistent with the advertised VIP Access benefits.
The room was not properly cleaned, with long hairs present throughout, including on the bed. The mattress topper was worn out and uncomfortable, and I woke up with back pain. During my stay, housekeeping did not clean the room, empty the rubbish bin, or replace the towels.
Breakfast consisted mainly of inexpensive pre-packaged items and offered very limited choice. After the first morning, I preferred to have breakfast elsewhere.
Overall, the stay did not meet my expectations. Based on my experience, I would not stay here again or recommend it.

Poor and disappoiting experience
I knew this was a budget hotel and adjusted my expectations accordingly, but even for around €80 per night, the experience was disappointing.
I requested a street-facing room when booking but was assigned a small room (which I highly doubt was the advertised 38 sqm) overlooking a noisy, dusty construction site. The photos of Room 303 on the hotel’s own website are also misleading, as they show a much nicer room than the one I received.

The room had long hairs throughout, including in the bed. The mattress topper was old and full of holes (photo available), and I woke up with back pain. Housekeeping did not clean the room, empty the rubbish, or replace the towels during my stay.
Breakfast consisted mainly of cheap, pre-packaged items and was so unappealing that I chose a nearby bakery after the first morning.

We would not book it again at this price-performance ratio.
Due to the many good reviews and the very positive presentation on the hotel's own website, we chose to stay for 4 nights at LOOM Athens. However, our expectations were not met. We had to realize that the information on the website does not correspond to the facts. The accommodation is centrally located, and many attractions in the city are within walking distance. A metro station is about 10 minutes away. Before our arrival, we were informed that the reception is not staffed and access is only possible via code and key box. That worked well. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable, the balcony was unkempt. We found that there is no reception at all. Breakfast is served in the entrance area. The breakfast is a small buffet with the same offerings every day. There are no fresh egg dishes, only hard-boiled. Staff not exactly friendly. Room service does not occur every day. Once, towels were forgotten for one person; there are 2 phone numbers available for complaints, but no one is reachable, and there was no callback. Room amenities: refrigerator not available, 2 coffee mugs available, no glasses, no cutlery, etc. Conclusion: Location and room are okay, but we would not book it again for this price-performance ratio.

Things have changed since I last stayed here. The wonderful staff who used to be at the front desk are gone. Functionally there is no front desk staff any more. You let yourself in with a code and retrieve your room keys from a lock box. All communication with the hotel is by email. You will receive emails that verge on harassing until you provide your passport details before arrival. I woke up to a message the morning after my arrival asking what time I was going to check out -- even though I wasn't checking out that day.
This used to be my favorite hotel in Athens but after this stay I cancelled my next booking for later this month. It now lacks any sense of Greek hospitality. And it seems that while it is contributing to the gentrification of the neighborhood it is no longer providing front of house employment to people who live in the neighborhood. And the labour that those people used to do is now being off loaded on to guests.

I've stayed at this hotel for the third consecutive year. The neighborhood is one of its biggest strengths: a slightly rough but up-and-coming residential area with plenty of good restaurants and cafés, close to the metro, and, in my opinion, much more enjoyable than staying in Athens' touristy city center.
Unfortunately, I feel the hotel has gradually gone downmarket over the years. The design remains attractive and is one of the reasons I keep coming back, but what once felt like a small boutique hotel now feels more like an "rental platform" apartment building. There is no staff presence anymore, guests pass through multiple ttcode-protected doors, room keys are collected from a lockbox, and soaps are provided through generic wall dispensers. The whole experience has become totally more impersonal.
This low-cost approach has not been reflected in the room rates, which remain relatively high.
Another issue is the main entrance door, which closes with a very loud "bang" every time someone enters or leaves. Rooms facing the street can also be affected by traffic and nightlife noise, especially on weekends.
Overall, I still love the neighborhood and appreciate the design, but I am increasingly disappointed compared to my previous stays.
