Bed Bugs, Scams, & No Hot Water Let me begin by saying that I had no intention of writing this review until Adam’s Hotel marked us as a “no-show” so that we could NOT possibly write our review on the website that we booked. We just left Adam’s Hotel after a 3 day stay, and we were ready to just let everything go and put it all in the past…but this devious way of controlling their reviews made us change our mind. First off, let me just say that the staff and cleaning ladies were very nice. No problems with check-in, so there’s that. This whole reservation started out suspiciously when we received an email a few weeks from our arrival date on the platform we booked. I cannot say the website that we booked here as google will not allow it, but it is the biggest and most common hotel booking platform that everyone uses. We had already paid in full, but we received an email asking for our credit card info so they could put a small charge on our credit card, and then take it off again. Some sort of verification. We have used this platform for over 10 years, and something sounded very suspicious. It sounded like they were hacked or something. I replied asking if their account had been compromised and that it was very weird that a hotel do this. I told them I was going to contact customer support. I then received a reply saying, “Oh don’t worry about it.”. That was the first suspicious thing, and I still don’t know what this was all about. I would show the screen shot of this, but since they marked our reservation as a no-show within the platform, the entire conversation has disappeared and I cannot get it back. Again, really weird. Anyway, we checked in, no issue. Keep in mind it’s about 5 degrees in Athens at that point. We went to take a shower, and it was all cold water. We were freezing…but again…I can easily put that in the “funny travel story” category. Woke up in the morning hoping for a warm shower…again, all cold. I went to the reception to ask about it, and they said they would send someone to fix it. So that night, when shower time came…again, cold water. I went back down and asked a different receptionist more clearly about possibly the limitations of the hot water supply…and he kindly admitted that other hotel guests had complained about this in the past. So, ok…hot water is limited at peak times. Got it. So, the next day we tested at 7am, again at 11am, evening at 7pm, evening at 11pm. Cold. So basically, yea…cold showers in Athens. Not fun. All of this is not optimal, but again, we are really easy going and can let this slide. We are in Athens right? The buildings are old, and it’s not easy running a hotel. We get it. Not fun, but ok. While we were drying off, we noticed a bug crawling up the curtains. I looked carefully, did a quick google search for bed bugs, and low-and-behold…it was one of them. I tried to crush it, but those things just don’t want to die! I had dealt with bed bugs once in my life like 20 years ago…and boy was
