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.

It was a great stay! It’s in a decent location probably about 30-40 minutes walking distance from the Plaka, and close to public transportation. The room was spacious and clean. The hotel staff was friendly and responsive to our requests. The shower/bathroom was a good size, and the patio was a nice touch. The breakfast was absolutely top notch! The rooftop terrace had a cool view of the Parthenon, which was lit up in the evening.
