The best experience we had while traveling in Europe ! The staff was amazing and sooo nice ! I had issues with my hair straightener and one of the staff members offered to go buy it from their shopping center and bring by the end of the day . He even put the receipt inside the bag . He went out of his way to make sure I feel good during our stay . All staff members were amazing ! The breakfast was delicious and the rooms were super clean.

From the moment we arrived, all the staff were so friendly and willing to go the extra mile. Our room was clean and spacious and had amazing views. The hotel is in such a great location. Almost everything you might want to visit is located in about a 20-30 minute walking distance. The roof top restaurant was beautiful, the food was delicious and decently priced. I highly recommend the Greek salad! Breakfast was also delicious and it made us feel very special that the restaurant staff remembered our coffee order every morning. Overall we had a wonderful stay at the Athenaeum and would definitely stay again in the future.

The Athenaeum Luxury Hotel is true to its name. A true luxury experience with impeccable customer service, gorgeous facilities, a newly renovated and clean room, and an amazing breakfast in a breathtaking roof top, this stay exceeded our expectations. From the moment we stepped in, we were not only greeted but properly taken care of. The staff is wonderful- genuinely friendly and interested in ensuring that you have the best experience in Athens. The convenience of the location is amazing- everything within walking distance. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a hotel in Athens to consider this one. Thank you!
