Airotel Parthenon Hotel Athens

Great location and (off season) price. The staff was very accomadating with my very late checkout. That said, there was nothing really special about the Airotel Parthenon, rooms were clean albeit dated and could use some freshing up. I would go back to the Airotel Parthenon as it wsa a great value given the location.

My wonderful two-week stay in Athens was made even better by the excellent staff at the Airotel Parthenon. I had a good idea of what I wanted to do and see, but I was able to do and see much more thanks to their helpful, friendly advice. I saw all the sights (and more) and I got recommendations for where to shop (January-February sales!), eat, and pamper myself. I learned a lot of Greek, too! If you are a walker like me (at least five miles a day), this hotel is perfect because it is within walking distance of everything. I only took the Metro once during my whole two weeks. I visited every part of the city, the old ruins and the Contemporary Art galleries and museums, churches, tavernas, and practically every neighborhood. The breakfast is outstanding and I was fortified until lunch. After a couple of days, the restaurant staff took note of where I sat, and that I liked cappuccino and the International Herald Tribune each morning. The free Internet service was convenient, though slow at times. You can pay to get a faster connection if needed, however. At first, I was given a room on the 4th floor overlooking the quiet side street, but was then moved to Room 512, which I really enjoyed. There was a nice terrace where I could have my morning coffee and listen to the canaries sing, see the rooftops of Athens, as well as the mountains. I was offered Room 601, the only room I know of with views of the Parthenon, but I preferred 512. One suggestion I have is that the towels should be replaced (they are a little worn out) and it would be nice to have washcloths, too. Otherwise, the amenities, TV, and coffee/tea set-up were great. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well every night I was there.

The location of this hotel is perfect! Short walk to the Acropolis, the museum, metro (easy access to the airport), cute little cafes, and a lot of shopping! Accommodations at the hotel were wonderful, breakfast was okay, staff was very friendly and helpful! I would recommend this hotel to anyone desiring to stay in a central location, with walking distance to the acropolis.

I had no problems with the hotel, except it was really noisy at night. Outside dogs were barking, people were rolling things down the street. Bring earplugs just in case! They staff was so friendly, and even on my early flight home, they told me I could go into the breakfast room and grab a bite to eat early, before breakfast started. That was so nice of them! The Wifi signal was weak in my room, as my room was on the end, but in the hallway and everywhere else I got a good connection. I would definitely stay here again, great value, just bring earplugs!

This hotel was in a great location, perfectly located for sight seeing, the Metro and loads of great restaurants/taverns. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was clean. However, the breakfast was quite minimal and the room was tiny with quite a noisy AC.

all good beside the two singles beds in the room ,in europe is always a problem getting single or queen beds the rest perffect

Hotel was very easy to find and close to the Metro, Acropolis, and Plaka. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast included a wide variety of fresh fruits, yogurt, breads, cereals, jams, eggs. The room was a bit small as we were a group of 3 and so there were 3 single beds placed in a room intended for 2 single beds however for the price and location it was not a big inconvenience. Room was clean and everything was in working order...while there was no hot water the first night at 11pm, everything was fine the next morning and night with no issues. Would go back to this hotel and would recommend it to others!

I admit my expectations were low given the affordable price of this European hotel. I am very happy to report that instead this hotel surprised me in a very positive way. The location was incredible for the Acropolis and the new Acropolis Museum (a must see!!) as well as for Parliament and several other areas of interest. The Staff let us check in at 10am right from our cruise ship which was a nice surprise. The room had a clean bathroom, a safe, a fridge, ample closet space, overall a huge room by usual European standards. The room had 2 twin beds (pushed together if you wanted a "queen sized" but still two individual beds) with an ugly orange blanket on them but I wasn't expecting the Ritz. I will say that the water pressure in the shower was the BEST I have ever had in my life. No joke, if you took the shower handle off the stand it was like attempting to hold a firehose at full blast....it felt wonderful. The included breakfast was also very nice and not just Continental style. There were scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, bacon and sausage in warmers. Plenty of bread and fruits and juices as well. If the hotel had a rooftop bar I'm sure it would have had a wonderful view of the Acropolis but alas..... Overall for the price, we felt this hotel was an amazing gem. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat. One minor thing, our room was right next to the bright hotel sign outside so it gave off a lot of light in the early evening hours but to be honest, we were so tired each night from touring Athens, we did not notice but some might. Obviously given our very early check-in we were just happy to get a room right away so maybe this was the room that was available.

Great location, close to Acropolis. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean and comfortable rooms. Would recommend it.
