Well my wife and I ware overjoyed when we saw the property. First it’s a boutique hotel. Room, bathroom were perfect. The Terrace was the big hit. Big and a beautiful view of the acropolis and overlooking the Main Street. Every staff that we encountered or if we needed assistance was very accommodating. Breakfast was very good. The big plus of this place was the location. Right in the center to all the main attractions and the shops and restaurants. The area is the Plaka district. Excellent. If we ever go back to Athens. We will definitely stay here again.

I have been staying in AthensWas several times in the past few years. I like the hotel location and the roof top view. Breakfast is really good and staff are very friendly and helpful. One thing I was not happy about this time is the mosquitos in the room. I couldn't sleep well.

Checking in after traveling for 14 hours, all I wanted to do was go to the rooftop Restaraunt/bar, have a drink and look at the sites. I was advised it was closed due to a bridal shower, but could order room service which I chose as I was too tired to go out. Wanting to make a reservation for the rooftop Restaraunt, I was provided a menu that had two 8-course set meals staring at $100 euros. I simply wanted a nice dinner, glass of wine and again, enjoy the views. But did not want to spend $100+ euros on a simple meal. That’s a deal-breaker for many travelers. I won’t be suggesting or staying there again.

A quiet hotel in the middle of a high tourist area. Lovely beds and very quiet. Limited amount of rooms on each floor. There is an elevator but is small. The rooftop restaurant is very unique for dinner. It also is wonderful for an included breakfast. You can view the Acropolis in all its glory. They have outdoor front sitting area with a restaurant that is great for a quick drink or just to people watch. The staff is very accommodating and will take your luggage to and from your room along with holding it for your transportation at a later hour. We will definitely stay there again if we return.

Amazing staff - fantastic stay!

My wife and I stayed here and we absolutely loved it. We were greeted immediately upon arrival (the second we stepped out of our cab, before the bags were pulled out of the vehicle). Staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and informative. Would highly recommend staying here. One note: there were elements of the room that were clearly a bit worn (some scrapes and dings on furniture, etc). This didn’t really bother us, because the room was still super clean and really nice.
