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.

The service at this Hotel was above and beyond from first contact until we left. They arranged our pick up from the airport to the Hotel but what made it top level service was while we were in the car they called the driver to make sure we had been picked up. Every interaction was above normal level of service and made us feel like the only guest at the hotel/VIP's. When I go back to Athens this hotel will be my first choice.

We loved the AthensWAS

The AthensWAS hotel is in a perfect location if you want to see the Acropolis and the surrounding historic sites and museums. A very easy walk to everything. The hotel is a beautiful boutique design with nice amenities. The staff was wonderful and very accommodating if you need to drop your bags before the room is ready. By the time we returned, our luggage was already delivered to our room. They also arranged a beautiful ride to the airport for us. We will absolutely stay here again when we return to Athens!
