We really enjoyed our stay at The Modernist. The hotel is in a quiet and lovely part of Athens, though very quick and easy to visit the main attractions from here. Breakfast was fabulous and staff all friendly and helpful. Kolonaki has many great non-touristy restaurants too. Would highly recommend.

breakfast variety is not huge, but service and quality are great ! we really enjoyed breakfast. The service overall was great. Location is not in the center, but very close to public transportation. The main issue was that the room was very small, and it had a window to a wall). Since we stayed for 1 night it did not bother us, but make sure you have a balcony room (MUST)

A fabulous hotel in the wonderful city of Athens

What a wonderful stay I had at The Modernist Hotel, it’s super stylish, really well located and easy to get to all the major sights, an amazing and very friendly young staff, from reception, the cafe and the bar, the cleaning staff, and crowning it all a fantastic roof top bar where you can drink looking at wonderful views of Athens. I’m definitely coming back there again next year.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The hotel was lovely and the staff were really nice and friendly. The hotel was in the perfect place for my needs, with quick connection to the airport train and plenty of restaurants or shops around the area. It feels a shame to deduct a star for this, but the light switches in the room were a triumph of form over function, it was extremely difficult to work out what they did as they all rotate through several positions, without any labelling or marks. I sometimes just used my phone torch instead! Also the teabags in the room were very unusual flavours which could happily be replaced with more regular green or black teas. So bring your own teabags and a torch and you'll love it!
