Location in the middle of everything. Well designed rooms, world class staff and little touches of detail everywhere. Rooftop Michelin rated breakfast can't be beat.
United States of AmericaVery well-appointed room, with a very comfortable bed and a nice quiet balcony to sit on and enjoy coffee in the morning or relax in the evening. Breakfast was very good, served in a dining room with a view of the Acropolis and Athens. The staff could not have been nicer. The hotel itself is very conveniently located in walking distance to the Acropolis and just a block away in one direction from shopping and in the opposite direction from a main thoroughfare leading to central Athens, and close by to any number of restaurants.
United States of AmericaIncredible location. A five minute walk to the Acropolis area and right on the edge of the Plaka. Great for walking everywhere. Great breakfast in a small and beautiful rooftop restaurant with great views of Acropolis. Room was comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful. I’d happily stay there again. Would just fine-tune the housekeeping and have them show us how to use the lights, since it was confusing,
United States of AmericaVery 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!
United States of Americathe Location is excellent, walk to the train, to acropolis, and into the Plaka neighborhood. The staff is super friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and modern. loved the rooftop too, gorgeous view and very friendly staff
United States of AmericaI'm rating it 10 because I can't rate it 11. Or 20. Location, view of Acropolis, is fabulous. Breakfast, fabulous. Room with balcony, fab. Only wish we could have stayed longer.
