Very convenient room for our first few nights in Greece. We were able to walk to many major attractions, wonderful restaurants, and shopping. The staff members were helpful and friendly. There is a beautiful view of the city, including the Acropolis, from the roof deck, as well as from our room. The available breakfast was a nice add on, with excellent food and coffee. If you want to experience the city center of Athens, you can’t do better than this location.

Athen21 was the perfect choice for our stay in Athens! The location is amazing—right in the center, steps from Monastiraki Square, shops, restaurants, and major sights. The rooms are sleek, modern, and very clean, with great views of the Acropolis. Staff were friendly and responsive. Ideal for a short city stay—would definitely come back!
