Like a prison bed
The room had old furniture and the bed was so uncomfortable. To hard, Like sleeping on concrete floor. The general areas of the hotel such as the reception area, breakfast room and pool area were nice and tidy. Friendly straff. Cleaning was good but nothing special.

Room was clean and facilities were nice. Only complaint is the pool not being open which is not advertised anywhere
Pleasant staff, very good breakfast and clean hotel
Only one complaint the pool was not open until 3 days into our stay which was disappointing. I would not book a hotel without the use of a swimming pool.
Great location, very close to fantastic beaches and restaurants, the hotel pool was well maintained with lifeguard monitoring the children all day. Very reliable and convenient.
The hotel was in a great location. Walking distance to the main shopping/restaurant district and also local beaches. The pool area was very nice and the outdoor sitting areas. The rooms were dated but nice. Our main problem with this hotel is the cleanliness. We booked for 3 nights - on our first night we found several large (2-4inch) cockroaches in the bedroom area and the bathroom. Staff was very accommodating and moved us to another room. On our third night, in our new room, more cockroaches were in our room and on the balcony. Very disappointing as everything else about the hotel was great, however would not return due to the bug infestation it clearly has and the bacteria that cockroaches carry.

Close to town, beach, and marina. We stayed here one night before getting on the boat. Loved the staff and their suggestions for a great gym and great ‘locals’ restaurant. It’s a great basic, no frills hotel, with a friendly, helpful team.
Beautifully renovated on first floor including reception, restaurant, bar etc. especially the pool area! The rooms are due to be renovated soon as well, however it didn’t matter as the excellent service and pool area made up for it!
The staff are incredibly nice and helpful. It's an older property which looks to have had renovations so the bedrooms are larger than modern hotels. Beds are very comfy and there was a great powerful shower. Lovely breakfast even the hotel coffee machine is better than most hotels I stay in. You can walk to the beach, restaurant and shops and it's an easy taxi to town and the airport.

A nice hotel in a great and safe location, staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean but furniture is dated. Very nice breakfast buffet if you can get it for free. Easy walk to bustling Glyfada with literally hundreds of shops and dining options.

A bit outdate but we'll kept. Rooms were clean and comfortable.
The staff @ Golden Sun were lovely and all so helpful! The pool not being open was a big surprise & upset for me as that was the main reason I booked the hotel and it was 25 degrees + more each day. It was way too hot to be sitting by the pool without being able to dip :( I couldve saved $$ by staying elsewhere so I wish this had been advertised. My other main issue was it was SO hot every night. I finally got hold of a fan (they were hard to come by) and then that fan broke and was really small / dingy so I barely got any sleep while I was there. Staff was excellent but hotel was a bit of a disappointment due to the above.
The breakfast area and bar were very nice, and the staff were friendly. The pool was also clean and well maintained. However, the room itself was disappointing. It had a strong damp smell, the mattress was very uncomfortable, and the shower wasn’t particularly clean around the bottom of the door.
On the positive side, the room was a good size, and the balcony received plenty of sun, which was lovely. Considering the inexpensive price and the excellent location, close to both the beach and the centre of Glyfada, it does offer good value. If you’re lucky enough to get a fresher room and don’t mind a very firm mattress, it can be a great choice.
