Very accommodating and friendly staff. The hotel is in a great location and the rooftop restaurant SENSE is absolutely a gourmet restaurant with a fantastic view of the Acropolis

United States of AmericaOutstanding staff who were consistently helpful, efficient,and welcoming. They assisted us in navigating Athens with ease. The location of the hotel at the foot of the Acropolis is ideal for exploring Athens on foot. The restaurant at the top of the hotel where a delicious and varied breakfast is served has stunning views of the Acropolis and the opportunity of open air seating. Our room was comfortable and well organized and appointed. On any future trip to Athens this hotel would be our first choice of a place to stay. Many thanks to the staff of Athens Was for a memorable visit!
