to get started.

Location, location, location. Additionally, staff was very kind and views from the rooftop bar were unbeatable.

Carlos, Switzerland

Everything else was perfect. Appreciate the proprietors attention to detail, the cleanliness, the quality food & service. Thank you

Kumarie, South Africa

Great Location and hotel staff. The rooftop restaurant helmed by the amazing Chef Alex was such a discovery and so impressed us that we returned for Christmas dinner even though we were booked in a different hotel for that return leg. The restaurant is highly recommended for an interesting modern twist on Greek cuisine.

Lei, Singapore

Excellent breakfast , friendly staff, perfect location

Natbedenik, United Kingdom

Very good food in the restaurant and friendly staff at check-in desk.

Sabinenl, Netherlands

Fresh ingredients made wonderful breakfasts, friendly staff, wonderful shower, very comfortable bed.

Jamesnoon, United Kingdom

The staff is really wonderful. The hotel is great and the location is perfect. You should just take into account that this hotel is actually equivalent to a 4 stars hotel in any other country. Take this into account when ordering

Daniel, Israel

Had a very late arrival but desk is staffed 24 hrs which made our 2AM check in easy. Good sized room, clean and comfortable. Front desk staff was very friendly and lent us an adapter for our electronics.

Melissa, Canada

View to Acropolis despite the rain. Restaurant on Top floor was very good. Breakfast service staff was extremely friendly, helpful and professional.

Kurt, Switzerland

Delicious breakfasts and room service. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and we particularly want to mention Paul and Dimitri who were most helpful when we needed a doctor and medicines for my daughter who came down with food poisoning (not from food from the hotel). The cheerful housekeeping and breakfast staff were lovely and they made our mornings all the nicer.

An inside look at AthensWas Hotel

AthensWas hotel is the only hotel in its class situated on the best-known and most beautiful pedestrian walkway in Athens: Dionysiou Areopagitou street.The walkway skirts the sacred rock of the Acropolis and the Parthenon, the city’s most important and awe-inspiring classical monument and the emblem of Athens since antiquity. It also connects the New Acropolis Museum, recognized internationally as one of the most beautiful and fascinating museums in the world, with the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, Athens’ superb Roman-era theatre, which hosts concerts, operas and theatrical performances every summer, gracing the Athens Festival with its splendid aura. AthensWas is a Design HotelTM and it is designed in line with the core principles of classical modernism. The aesthetic of its rooms and communal spaces is defined by clean, uncluttered lines and natural materials—chiefly Greek marble and wood. AthensWas has a rooftop bar which enjoys an amazing panoramic view of the Acropolis, Lycabettus and the city as a whole, from the mountains that define its eastern and western boundaries, to the northern horizon and the sea to the south.
