The location was absolutely amazing! As soon as we arrived, the front staff service was fabulous. Very welcoming, attentive, helpful and kind! Given a map of the area, luggage was kept so that we were able to tour around while our room was prepped, a lovely ice tea drink served. Just great! Room is clean and modern. Only wish there was a bathtub and that we could turn up the volume of the tv just a bit. Car transportation to the airport was arranged for us. Just a great property and again, super front staff! Thank you!!!

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.

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.

Good location but better options nearby

Comfortable bed - quiet room considering it faced the busy street on the 2nd floor. Room felt quite dark though, and a bit oppressive. Breakfast was ok - food was average for a five star hotel. Front of house staff were friendly and helpful, waiters less so, without smiles

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.

Lovely, tasteful, clean, modern, and small. We only enjoyed breakfast on the roof and it was great. The location is perfect. Couldn’t imagine better. Only weird thing is going up a small flight of stairs to get to the elevator to the room.

Not For Non Active Guests

This Hotel is completely inaccessibility to facilities for people that require a cane. You have to walk up stairs to get to the elevator to your room. The main restaurant is only accessible to take the elevator to the 6th floor by walking up about 20 steep winding floors. My poor husband had to stay in the room and get food delivered. If you are mobility challenged, this hotel is impossibl.
