    I travel a lot. This hotel was amazing. Very quiet for its location, the location is perfect. The service was exceptional. The restaurants food and view were phenomenal. This was my second stay and will always be my go to place in Athens.

    10GtrinidadPosted on: 12-17-2025

    The hotel was perfectly located, close to museums, the acropolis and restaurants. A perfect home base for your stay in Athens. The staff was very welcoming and helpful.

    Beds were comfortable, but it was two twin beds pushed together, one was higher than the other, so you could not lay across the bed, you had to be on one side or the other.

    Great location, truly helpful and warm staff, and a wonderful breakfast with a beautiful view of the Acropolis.We stayed with our baby in the Executive Suite, which was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. It has two bathrooms and doors that separate the space into two rooms, so our baby could sleep peacefully in one room while we relaxed in the other.

    Personally, I find wall-to-wall carpeting in hotel rooms difficult — it feels outdated and gives the impression the room isn’t clean, even though it actually was. The elevator is quite small, and there are stairs leading to it, which makes accessibility more challenging.

    Great location near the Acropolis and the Archaelogical Museum. Outsanding breakfast.

    The temperature control in the room seemed to be set so it could only heat and not cool (it was early November), so the room got a bit stuffy. Keeping the door to the balcony open for evening cooling wasn't a great alternative due to a lot of traffic and other noise from outside.

    Roof top breakfast and excellent food

    Problems with air conditioner

    10PaulPosted on: 10-14-2025

    Superb location for casual walks or visiting the Acropolis and surrounding sites. Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Room was large and comfortable with excellent bathroom. Despite overlooking the pedestrian area, the doors provided good soundproofing for comfortable night’s sleep. The breakfast was excellent. The hospitality and welcome gifts were also greatly appreciated. We’d happily stay here again.

    AthensWas is a charming, elegant, comfortable oasis in the heart of Athens' old city, a short walk to the Parthenon and other sies, close to lots of restaurants and shopping. The staff is fantastic. The breakfast is excellent. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

    One cautionary note forfolkswithmobilityissues. There are a few steps up to the elevator and more to the restaurant.

    Location, clean. Friendly

    Coffee maker in room Very loud

    9RachelPosted on: 9-29-2025

    AthenWas is very centrally located for Acropolis visiting and viewing. There are also a ton of good restaurants nearby. I liked that it was small and the breakfast with a view was fabulous. A generous size room especially with the balcony which was much appreciated as my partner is a tall guy. I wish the restaurant with a view was open for drinks and more causal dining rather than just a set multi course menu. We ended up not dining there.

    You do get some cigarette smoke from the street on your balcony if you are the lower floors. (We were on two)

    Lovely room with beautiful view of the Acropolis....very centrally located and convenient to the pedestrian area of the city center. Breakfast was excellent

    The gym is nothing to write home about...there's also no pool or spa....but we weren't really there for any of those things in the first place....

    Great location next to the Acropolis Museum and entrance as well as the Plaka and the park.. staff was amazing.. Provided breakfast was amazing with a view of the Acropolis.

    Rooms were quite small and it was a bit noisy on the streets all night long but not too bad.
