Guest Reviews

MazM (4/5): Noisy - Sadly, once again, we are left wondering if we stayed in a different hotel to any of the 5 star reviews for here. Check in was smooth. Offered a welcome non alcoholic drink. Be careful and read the small print of whatever you sign at reception. It is long winded but, trust me, it is worth it in case you have any issues. Our room was higher up the building and facing the road. To call it a 'city view' is bordering on a lie quite honestly. I do not believe facing a block of flats over the road a city view. A view - yes. Of flats - yes. In a City - yes, but come on! The noise was horrific, and I mean that. We have stayed in so many hotels around the World and yes, that includes major cities and not had this issue. We thought the window had been left open. It was impossible to get any sleep. The road outside is phenomenally noisy. We were offered another room somewhere in the hotel but a lower grade room than we had but we would still have had to pay the same price. Really? Dreadful! We didn't find the hotel good value for money either. Over priced for a room that, aside from being large, wasn't what you'd call luxurious at all. Nice shower. No doubt there will be a response to this review from the management. I would prefer it if there wasn't as we have been through this in a very detailed way both face to face and via email. Some guests plainly loved it. We did not. That's life!
HighMaintenance2015 (10/5): Well located hotel with welcoming helpful staff. - Lovely hotel with very welcoming and helpful front desk. Breakfast was pleasant with a small buffet and good selection on the à la carte menu. I dined at the rooftop restaurant which had lovely views. The hotel was very helpful prior to my stay when I was enquiring about sightseeing and using the hoteI arranged a half day private city tour for me. This was the only disappointment as there was a cycle race event and some roads were closed so the ‘ tour’ took only 3 hours and the driver only took me to the Acropolis and the Lycabettus Hill so hardly worth the EUR200. It would have been nice to be informed of the event as I could have done the tour on a different day. Other than that, a very pleasant stay.
purplejenn11 (10/5): Excellent service, great location - This hotel had amazing service and a great location for seeing the sights in Athens. Don’t skip the rooftop bar for awesome views. The breakfast was a standout, with plenty of healthy options like fresh fruit, protein pudding, chia seed pudding, oatmeal, eggs. Order the Greek eggs off the menu as well - delicious. Would certainly recommend and stay here again. The only thing I didn’t love was the possible see through wall in the bathroom. The control for this is outside the bathroom, so if you don’t trust your travel partner, they could have a full view of you in the shower. Very strange option in my opinion.
Petra2703 (10/5): A Place You’ll Always Want to Return To - I always love coming back to Academias Autograph Collection in Athens – it’s one of those places that wins you over instantly and keeps drawing you back. The hotel offers excellent facilities and a stunning design, beautifully blending modern elegance with a subtle touch of Greek heritage. The rooms are extremely comfortable, perfectly clean, and thoughtfully designed down to the smallest detail – exactly what you need after a day exploring the city. The food is absolutely amazing – whether it’s breakfast or dinner, both the quality and presentation are outstanding. And the spa? Truly unbeatable. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind. Overall, the hotel delivers a perfect combination of style, comfort, and top-level service. If you’re looking for an exceptional stay in Athens, this is definitely the place to be.
M4849BNronaldj (10/5): Stay there - The beautifully appointed rooms offer a peaceful retreat with easy access to major sites. Some even boast a stunning view of the Acropolis. The fantastic staff and superb breakfast make for a truly memorable stay. The Japanese restaurant is simply magical!
teddy091 (10/5): Elegance, warmth, incredible food and an incredible view! - Absolutely incredible experience! Everyone on the staff made every part of our experience so positive and memorable for our last night of our month long stay in Greece. The desk staff, waitress in the lobby bar/restaurant, the gentleman who helped us with our bags, the staff in the rooftop bar and the breakfast staff were all warm, friendly and extremely accommodating. The food throughout the hotel was outstanding in presentation, quality and flavor! This is a beautiful, elegant property! Sitting in the rooftop bar at night overlooking the Acropolis is one of our favorite memories of our trip!
mdsh00 (10/5): Would stay here again! - I had a great stay here in an executive suite. While it's not located in the center of the touristy parts of Athens, it's a 10-20 minute walk to most locations which is perfectly fine. It's also very close Kolonaki and Syntagma Square. This is a boutique-style hotel with only 68 rooms which I really like. The staff was wonderful and helpful. The hotel is nicely decorated and clean. Noise could be an issue if you're on a lower floor facing the busy street but for us it was fine on a high floor. There are rooms with an acropolis view so try and ask for that when you reserve or check in. Breakfast was excellent with buffet and cooked to order items. The bathroom was a good size with the toilet separated by a glass enclosure. If I had to nitpick, the shower and bathtub have that partially open glass wall separation which is so common in newer hotels these days which I really don't prefer. It's still not a deal-breaker.

BEATA (10/5): - Piekny widok z tarasu restauracji!! Mnie brakowało małego czajnika elektrycznego na wrzątek. Woda z urządzenia do kawy była dla mnie za zimna na herbate

Alexs257 (10/5): Excellent hotel in central Athens. - We stayed at the Academias Hotel for a pre Xmas holiday and spent 5 nights here. From start to finish the service and staff were superb. Check in was very welcoming and efficient. Our room was very clean and well serviced during our stay. The room was spacious and well laid out. We slept very well each night also. We dined twice in the Nyx restaurant which is reviewed separately. The hotel bar also serves food throughout the day and also of very good quality. Breakfasts were generous and tasty….no complaints there either. Overall this is an excellent place to stay within easy reach of many attractions in central Athens and we had an excellent stay. Thank you to all the staff.

Om_Tea (10/5): Exceptional service from front desk to breakfast - I had a great stay at Academias Hotel in Greece. The room was spacious and very clean, and the service was excellent throughout my visit. The front desk staff were especially helpful and welcoming. My only caveat is that the room felt a bit dim—there wasn’t enough lighting—and it could really use more drawers for storage. Breakfast at Symposium was a highlight. Big shout-out to Maria, Antonia, Chrysa, and Bella for their outstanding service—they were warm, attentive, and made mornings feel easy. Also, the chef who made my breakfast sandwich was top notch: you could tell he actually cared about what he was putting out, not the usual run-of-the-mill, rushed breakfast station. Thank you!

TripInsider (10/5): Academias has been added to our list of favorite hotels in Europe! - After a long night-and day of flights-we were welcomed graciously by the reception staff, and offered “fluffy” little tea-based cocktails, in fall colors! We had reserved a king bed, executive room, several months earlier, with the included hotel breakfast. We were very pleased with the room size and design. We did not have the Parthenon view, but had 2 windows that looked out on the neighborhood buildings. There was scaffolding and presumably construction across the street, but all was quiet enough on our weekend visit. As is becoming typical of European hotel rooms, the lighting was dim: energy-savings, imo. We brought our adaptor plugs, which helped for charging multiple devices. We always use the safe. The bath was spacious, with “wet room” with tub and shower. Toiletries and towels easily fit under the open vanity. Marriott provides robes and slippers for guests. Of course, since Athens has an ancient sewer system, toilet paper is never flushed, but put into a separate receptacle next to the toilet. The included breakfast in the Symposium dining room was perfectly curated and surpassed our expectations. Coffee, of several varieties, including Greek, was offered; I chose drip. A menu was presented; an entree could be selected, in addition to the buffet. The charming hostess even provided me a hand-written recipe for the Greek specialty dish of eggs scrambled with homemade tomato sauce and soft feta cheese- different from the hard crumbles I can buy in USA. The buffet completed the breakfast- fruit, pastries, cold cuts, cheeses. The restaurant staff worked so well as a team. The hotel staff was professional and friendly. Wonderful Greek hospitality! The hotel location was an easy 15 minute walk to Monastiraki Square, a local hub for souvenirs, food and drink, as well as the meeting spot for our evening food tour. Also, check with reception for an evening reservation at the NYX rooftop restaurant, to be described in a separate review, but in a word, excellent. The Academias Hotel was an inspiring start to our month in the Mediterranean countries, and we look forward to another visit to this lovely Marriott.
sarahhU3696GP (10/5): Amazing hotel stay - We had a very enjoyable four-night stay at the Academias Hotel in September 2025. This hotel has a great location and very good staff who do a great job taking care of the guests. We had a positive experience working with the concierge in advance of our stay to organize a transfer from the airport and a wine tasting and sightseeing trip outside of the city with A-Muse and very friendly and knowledgeable guide Spyros. We very much enjoyed the on-site food and beverage options. The Plato Lounge was a great place for a cocktail or small meal. The rooftop Japanese restaurant boasts great views and excellent food. And most of all we thought the breakfast offering was spectacular with lots of variety, very fresh food, and good service. Our room was small but comfortable. Housekeeping service was excellent and our room was well attended to throughout our stay. The shower was excellent and bed extremely comfortable. We would seek out opportunities to return to the Academias Hotel in the future and would highly recommend to anybody visiting Athens.
Michelle (10/5): Best experience - Fabulous hotel and close to everything! The spa and rooftop restaurant were spectacular and the views from top were magnificent!
255primes (8/5): Loved it - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My stay at this hotel in Athens was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond—always warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Their recommendations for exploring the city added so much value to my trip, and every interaction felt genuine and welcoming. The room itself was spotless, with meticulous attention to cleanliness that immediately put me at ease. I stayed in one of the suites, and it was truly luxurious—spacious, elegantly designed, and complete with thoughtful amenities that made it feel like a home away from home. Dining was another highlight. The rooftop bar and restaurant offered not only delicious food and drinks but also one of the most breathtaking views I’ve ever experienced. Watching the Acropolis light up at night while enjoying a perfectly prepared meal was unforgettable—a true “bucket list” moment. I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough. Whether you’re visiting Athens for the first time or returning, this is the perfect place to stay for comfort, luxury, and world-class hospitality. The only disappointment is that is slightly away from the shopping district.
Tanja (10/5): - The staff at Academias were so kind and accommodating. The room was well appointed, very clean and quiet. Amazing rooftop bar with views of the Acropolis.
prIZcess21 (10/5): Wonderful location, great property, comfortable rooms, killer rooftop view - We stayed at the Academias for three nights in Athens in late August 2025, and it is a fantastic property. Its location is certainly one of its best features--it only took us 25 minutes or so to walk to the Acropolis, you can get to Plaka and Monastiraki within minutes on foot, and the rooftop lounge has a view of the Pantheon and Lycabettus Hill that has to be seen to be believed. The rooms are reasonably spacious for the city, well appointed, and impeccably clean. The staff was friendly, helpful, and always had a quick answer to any question. One of the things I loved most about this hotel was the lobby atmosphere. I brought my journal and paper to write, and the inspiring quotes from Socrates, the books, and the general upbeat feel of the place is unique and incredibly inviting for those who love to write or just think. Even if this doesn't describe you, you'll find it such a breath of fresh air from the usual. The gym is not overly large in terms of space, but they had nice, modern, clean equipment and I was able to get a couple of great runs in on the treadmill. The indoor pool was a beautiful touch, and the spa staff were great! The rooftop does get very crowded and busy in the evenings, but it's still worth it to go check it out. The housekeeping staff was so friendly and always had some unique little touches every night, making it a memorable experience every time we came back from being out in the city. If we get back to Athens any time soon (and I certainly hope we do), this will be at the top of our list for a repeat stay. It's not the cheapest option, but you absolutely get what you pay for here and it is head and shoulders above most options I've seen in one of the world's great cities. Wishing everyone well back at the Academias and looking forward to our return!
AREJ (10/5): - The hotel team very professional and helpful, thanks to all of them. Made our stay very enjoyable
CPCNYC (10/5): Kolonaki Special - Spent two nights here. A quick review: - Staff: excellent. They helped us, took care of us, service was very good. - Food: breakfast was excellent. They also made a special chicken for our kids for room service. Amazing. - Location: five mins walk to the shop, and 10 Mins taxi to the Acropolis. Wish there was more going on - Room: Super nice. We got the king suite and it was beautiful. Bathroom was amazing and big. Two showers and a bath tub. Sleeps three easily.
Bodur (10/5): -
Candice (10/5): Good Combination of Modernity and Great Service - The Hotel is modern and staff is attentive
dmuffer25 (10/5): Well Located, Nice Hotel in Athens with Amazing Roof Terrace - This hotel is a great option in Athens. It is very well located in Kolonaki and a short walk to everything in Plaka. The rooms are nice (clean, big bathrooms, modern conveniences) and the staff is very nice. But what makes this place so fantastic is its roof bar/restaurant. We only went there for drinks (food is japanese) but the view is spectacular. Expansive view of the Acropolis AND sunset. Also all ope-air. Everyone raves about the roof at the Hotel Bretagne - I went there, this is much much better. You cannot go wrong at this hotel.
Chandru (10/5): - Nice and clean as it says on the Ad.
NISHAA (10/5): - Beautiful hotel and the staff were amazing. Highly recommend, I would stay here again.
X4936NBlisar (6/5): Disappointing given the price point - Pros: - Excellent location - Clean - Very comfortable bed - Great air conditioning Cons (especially given the price point) - Slow service (it took us 30 minutes to check in and forget about calling reception with any questions, they won’t answer) - Below average facilities (no room service, restaurants not open all day, no outdoor pool) - Breakfast buffet barely edible, unless baked goods is your thing
Dinçer (7/5): -
Lvbeachmountains (10/5): Cool modern style in an old City - This was such a charming hotel with wonderful staff. Rooms were clean, modern and location was great. They give you a wonderful little welcome drink. We arrived in the morning, and our rooms were not ready, so we able to freshen up in the bathroom and have them hold our luggage while we explored. We had two rooms one had a slight view of the Parthenon unfortunately the other faced a building site. But heck you do not spend that much time in your room anyway. Breakfast at the hotel was good. All around would not hesitate to recommend or stay here again.
Ada (6/5): Good stay but overprice for service - - good location -clean -comfortable bed and sheets - tremendously impersonal service - way overpriced for what it is
HotelSnob2006 (10/5): Fantastic modern hotel in a great location with exceptional service - Husband really wanted to stay at the Grande Bretagne, but I convinced him to try out this place. From the moment you arrive and sip that lovely welcome drink, you will feel like you are being taken care of by Greek family. Our room was outstanding, modern, super clean. Dinner at Nyx was fantastic. Location is ideal for exploring Athens. We later stayed at much more expensive resort in Athens and had such poor service, we kept comparing it to the warm welcome and hospitality we received at the Academias. We won't forget you! Thanks for a memorable stay that we will cherish forever.
Maria (10/5): - Loved the too
amandamK3095IC (8/5): Don't miss the rooftop! - We only spent one night at Academia Athens, but it was a great experience overall. The hotel is modern, clean, and well-appointed, with a spacious room and luxurious bathroom amenities. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and we appreciated how quiet and comfortable everything felt. This is one of the nicer areas of Athens, though we were a bit hesitant to walk around late at night. Still, it made for a restful and convenient final stop before our flight. We'd definitely stay again. - check out the rooftop for sure! The view is incredible!!
Jennifer (9/5): Great centrally located hotel with an excellent rooftop restaurant. - All staff were friendly, professional and very helpful. NYX rooftop restaurant was exceptional too
dt95 (10/5): Great stay - Stayed three nights and very much enjoyed this hotel. The shower has good pressure, bed is very comfortable and the AC was exceptionally cold - not much more is needed. As Titanium member an excellent breakfast was included. The location is convenient for seeing many of the sites. The roof top bar is great for a drink with a view of the Acropolis. We heard dinner was good but did not eat there ourselves. Service was friendly and efficient.
richardnV5459CE (10/5): Great hotel in great location - An excellent hotel. Rooms were wonderful. Rooftop restaurant was great, with a direct view of the Parthenon. Breakfast was in a different restaurant on site with buffet or ala carte. What really set it apart was the phenomenal staff! Very friendly and attentive.
401terrencet (10/5): Winning hearts and minds for travelers - Our experience was exceptional. The hotel staff were extremely helpful in finding perfect restaurants and tips to make our visit most rewarding. Our room was perfect and breakfast was the perfect start of the day. The front desk team gave us all the secrets for a walking tour of the Acropolis and surrounding areas for the foodie experience.
lizpruitt1 (10/5): Nice place with view of Parthenon - Lovely hotel within walking distance of Parthenon and the Acropolis as well as the national gardens, City Center and Mount Lycabettus. Room was very nice. Tissue cannot be put in toilets. Must bring dude wipes and everything goes into trash can. They have a rooftop bar that is fabulous with a view of the Acropolis! The drinks and sushi were amazing. Our room didn’t have a view.
FranK978 (10/5): Gem of a boutique hotel! - Wonderful boutique hotel! The staff members are so friendly and helpful. They definitely go out of their way to make sure you have an enjoyable experience. The hotel is located in a great walkable area and the rooftop restaurant has excellent views of the Parthenon. Also the sushi at the restaurant may be the best sushi I have ever had - so fresh! Rooms are a bit small but the luxurious bathroom with amazing water pressure in the shower more than makes up for it. I highly recommend this property and would stay there again in my next visit to Athens!
juliedouglass17 (10/5): Great hotel. Walkable to several sites. Tours booked under “plan your stay” were excellent. - Beautiful, well located hotel. Staff are professional and personable. Mikalas (reception), Nikos (doorman), Alexandra (wait staff) and Katrina (NYX)made our 5 nights enjoyable. Housekeeping was daily and wonderful. Hotel is within walking distance to several sights, Plaka and Monistriki ( restaurants and shops). Breakfast was substantial and requests were accepted. I asked for an orange to take with me and was presented with a bag with 3 oranges. I booked several tours through the Academias site under “plan your day”. All were excellent especially the Parthenon and acropolis tour. The evening food tour included delicious mezze and a couple of historical sites including changing of the guard. Dinner at their rooftop restaurant was very good. The sunset over the Parthenon was lovely. You can also go there for drinks. Lots of innovative cocktails!
492waltc (10/5): Great service, beautiful hotel - Gold Star Service. Staff is super friendly and helpful!! Can't say enough about them. Beautiful boutique hotel. Large rooftop restaurant and bar with great views of the city and The Acropolis. Highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Athens !
erty (10/5): Amazing stay in Athens! - We are just checking out from an amazing stay at the Academias. Every staff member is so friendly & service is impeccable. We enjoyed the food at both restaurants & bar. The rooftop restaurant was top notch with beautiful views of the Acropolis & Parthenon. Rooms are modern, bed comfortable & shower had great water pressure. We were able to walk to the Acropolis & Plaka & other sites. You will not regret staying at the Academias.
sannamarikatariina (10/5): Attentive staff and high quality spa treatments - The staff is amazing, friendly and attentive. They were genuinely concerned when I told them that my room got a lot of noise from the street. I stayed only one night, otherwise they would have got me another room. The spa is not big but it has a luxurious feel to it. The sauna had a perfect temperature (not too mild), just like at home in Finland. I had a facial and it was one of the best I've ever had, highly recommend! My room as well as the spa and the hotel were spotless clean.
Scenic763403 (10/5): Highly recommend! - Excellent experience! Sofia at the front desk is very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional - she made our stay extra-special by giving us wonderful restaurant recommendations and answering all of our questions. Our room had a beautiful view of the Acropolis and the breakfast was delicious and offered a wide selection of choices.

Getaway62021017878 (10/5): Great hotel!! - We loved this hotel! It was the perfect place to stay with its location, beautiful rooftop restaurant with views to the Acropolis, well appointed rooms and very helpful staff. The food at the rooftop restaurant was wonderful and we ate there 2 nights in a row. The staff was most helpful in arranging taxis, suggesting restaurants, and making dinner reservations for us. Would definitely stay here again!!

442hat (6/5): Not the best choice for price - We came to this hotel after we left the previous one because the room was too small. The Academias has larger rooms, quite spacious, with a coffee machine and a reasonably sized TV. The rooms are clean, with most amenities available in the room in advance (such as vanity kit and slippers). However, the A/C cannot be turned on during what is treated as winter (14•C when we arrived and it is not cold, but beautifully cool). Because of the hot atmosphere, I couldn’t sleep. I asked the front desk if they could help, they brought a fan… wasn’t good enough. The previous hotel had A/C, hence the surprise! It was very disappointing, but not as disappointing as the glass window of the shower! It supposed to be shaded with a click of a button, thus ensuring privacy… however, I could see the person showering and had to leave the room for a little privacy. So, I would not recommend this place if you have a kid with you sleeping in the same room. I was also disappointed with housekeeping. The beds looked like someone was jumping on them before we came, I thought no one cleaned the room, but it appeared later that that’s how they do the beds at the hotel. Overall, with no A/C, it wasn’t a good choice of hotel. They asked if we could open the windows although it’s noisy, but it only opens approximately 10 centimeters… with no wind, nothing changed. I do not recommend this place, there are plenty of brilliant places in Greece.

Susan (8/5): Comfy and quiet - Nice quiet little room although the view was of a construction project. That happens! No American plug sockets, but did have USB to charge phone. Surprised there was no hairdryer. The shower was great.
RRS013 (10/5): Fantastic Hotel and Stay - We really enjoyed our stay at the Academias Hotel for a Marriott Autograph hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful with answering our questions. Even though we're Bonvoy members, we ended up booking through Amex's Fine Hotel + Resorts to take advantage of our Platinum card benefits. The hotel location is great, walkable to everything around the city center, specifically the Acropolis, which is about a 25 minute brisk walk. Also super close to all the high-end stores if you're looking to shop. We love to walk when we're in a new city so Academias served as a great basecamp for us. We stayed during off-peak season so in general the hotel was quiet and we did not experience any noise. In fact, I commented that I was surprised how quiet it was for the city...only heard the ambulance once or twice and no honking or loud music from the 4th floor. We didn't have a drink at Plato Lounge, which looked really nice, but we did head to the rooftop NYX bar/restaurant for drinks and dinner. Pricing was typical for an on-property restaurant, food was great, but the view of the Acropolis was the highlight! Breakfast was included in our rate and was served in the Symposium restaurant. It was fantastic with an abundant continental spread plus a limited cooked to order menu. We enjoyed everything offered and the service was perfect. If we visit Athens again we will certainly stay here again!
Nomad38271073059 (8/5): Overall a great hotel - The hotel itself is very comfortable and the neighborhood is safe to walk around at night. Rooms are spacious and clean, including illy coffee makers and free bottled water. Breakfast buffet and staff are wonderful. My only complaint is with one of the housekeepers. We were in our room with the service room light turned on. The plan was to go downstairs to the lobby bar for a drink when the housekeeper arrived. When she arrived, she opened the door and yelled at us in Greek for being in the room. I tried explaining that we just needed a minute to put on our shoes, but I don’t think she understood. She was furious with us, which I don’t think was an appropriate reaction. Especially when we leave a tip for housekeeping every day.
X3893NPkellyh (10/5): Fabulous Hotel - Fantastic location, walking distance to everything. Hotel is modern, immaculate and the service is wonderful. Breakfast buffet was fabulous, rooftop restaurant has a terrific rooftop Asian fusion restaurant with amazing views and great food. Highly recommend!
Jenifer (8/5): - The rooftop sushi restaurant was really good and the views are great!
Shardul (6/5): Pleasant -
519rys (6/5): Is it a hotel or a club? - The staff were incredible, but paying extra for the rooms with a view is not worth the money. The rooftop restaurant played house music starting at 9 pm that shook our whole room until 1 am. Even after asking them to turn it down it was not an environment conducive for sleep. Not worth the money, and unbelievable a place for you to sleep in makes it important for you to sleep
Mario (5/5): If you want party , stay. If you want to sleep , leave - Staff very helpful and friendly . Good breakfast LOUD !!!!! Street noise is a disaster in the rooms and also the drums from above rooftop ( restaurant ) discoteque till 1 a.m.
Bliss (8/5): Very good -
Anthony (6/5): - Clean room and good location…but very poor value. I don’t often say this but way overpriced for what was delivered.No common areas to speak of given expense of room.
PCWorldTraveler (10/5): Great boutique hotel - This hotel pays attention to the details. The design is chic and modern, with high end finishes. Diptyque products are offered for the guests. There is a nice spa and pool in the hotel, but rather small and the gym could be bigger. The rooftop restaurant has great views and food. Front desk service was superb and extra perks were granted as Bonvoy members

Anisah (5/5): Average hotel in a good area. - Good location in Kolonaki. It was not clean at all. Very average ambience and not much vibe. The breakfast was poor. I found the bathroom very dirty. The room had stains and finger prints everywhere. I don’t think it’s worth the money at all.

DarrenC482 (10/5): A great home base for a visit to Athens - A well situated hotel for exploring Athens, nearly every central neighborhood and museum is within walking distance, with hundreds of great restaurants, tavernas and bars nearby. Service was great (they booked us with two amazing tour guides) and the restaurant on top has an astonishing view of the Parthenon at sunset.

Jack (10/5): Pleasant and comfortable choice in a very good location. - The location is about 15 minute walk from the Plaka. Some streets were a bit dark to walk thru and I would not walk them alone, but we had no trouble. The room was spacious, nicely appointed and the bed was very comfortable. I would stay there again. We were hoping to check in early as we have titanium status, but our room wasn’t ready until 2 pm. They did store all our bags until then, but after a 12 hr travel day we really wanted our room and a shower.
Hind (8/5): I would stay there again, but it’s surely not a 5 star level when it comes to housekeeping or conceirge - Quiet hotel and boutique style Housekeeping was less than 5 star standards. They didn’t clean properly and they didn’t organize the room at all. Bed cushions were randomly placed on the couch, bed wasn’t properly set in terms of pillows and sheets. There was no organizations at all. Amenities were never refilled. There was no dedicated conceirge services so we never got the information we need

Rodrigo (6/5): It’s OK, but you can do better - Friendly and helpful staff Good location Nice modern rooms However… Noisy rooms And very limited and overpriced breakfast In summary: for the price, you can do better somewhere elsez
Bruno (8/5): - Great hotel for the price. Small, boutique feel and nice room appointments like bathroom fixtures and privacy glass. Only negative was no ability to cool the room in the winter - heat setting foe the entire floor (6 rooms).
Tommy (10/5): Great stay. I’d stay again. - Their bathrooms are excellent. Clean. Chic. Lots of water pressure from the rainfall shower head and shower wand. The bed was comfy. The room is cleaned daily, and sheets changed. Big soft bath towels. I couldn’t hear much from the street. It was quiet. The room is equipped with a coffee maker and coffee pods. The lobby bar is cute and well stocked for both morning coffee and evening cocktails. The roof bar is great too, with an enchanting unobstructed view of the Acropolis. In terms of location, you’re a 10 minute walk from central spots like the shops of Kolonaki, the shops on Ermou, lots of restaurants and cafes. The Cycladic art museum is nearby. Metro stations are close. The Syntagma is a very short walk. It’s a good location. The front desk staff was helpful with suggestions and info, including staging airport transfers. And it’s a Marriott property, so you can collect Bonvoy points. I can’t think of anything.
