Truly a five star experience. All staff from reception desk to restaurant were very welcoming and helpful. An absolute delight. Just to mention a few - Pascalis, Edvin, Adonis, Charles, and quite frankly all the staff we came in contact with, went above and beyond. Its just a pity i can't recall all their names. The gentleman in the restaurant on Februrary 16th night, made us feel so welcome and at home. It was unexpected and such a genuine gesture. Room has all you need including complimentary drinks, water, wine. What's not to like? Complimentary robes and slippers, tooth brush and paste. Rooms and toilets exceptionally clean. Breakfast options quite varied and of high quality. You will definitely find lots to eat. The Athenuem hotel is a touch of class and the staff are truly special. I will highly recommend and will definitely return. Thank you guys for making our stay beautiful 😍

Amazing staff

This hotel is fabulous-new, clean and in a great location. The staff is amazing-gave us advice about things we wanted to do, got our taxis and and were the most helpful hotel staff ever. Always smiling. I stayed there 1 night before a cruise-I had picked it because of location-we knew we were coming back to Athens for 2 days after cruise and because of the staff, i booked back in there. Unreal breakfast-everything you could imagine, not like a tepid continental breakfast. We were there over Valentines Day and they put roses, chocolates and balloons in the room & had fun doing it. There are other Atheneum’s in Athens but I would go back to this location every time.

Fantastic value and great stay!

*Request a room at the back of the hotel - the road noise is extremely loud!* We stayed for 4-nights, and after requesting a room move (due to road noise) after the first night, our stay was 5-stars! The hotel is well positioned in Athens so that every attraction is very close by. The hotel itself is modern, and the reception is beautifully decorated. The staff are very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. Our room was modern and well furnished, and the cleaning staff are friendly and professional - the room was spotless every day! The breakfast is amazing with every dish you can think of - and the view of the Acropolis from the dining/breakfast room is breathtaking! However, do not restrict yourself to just eating breakfast, we can highly recommend enjoying an evening meal there also!

It was perfect for short stay. Walking distance to almost everything. The staff was amazing. The only problem was the location is right on one of the busiest intersection so you hear the traffic almost 24/7 but for the price it was very good deal and the breakfast was excellent.

We loved our stay in Athens and this hotel, the staff were very welcoming and helpful. Our first room was small but we paid for an upgrade and the room was great, hotel is very clean and updated and they supply complementary drinks and wine. It was very convenient that they offer luggage storage (small charge for it) so we didn’t have to bring all our luggage while going to the islands. We also enjoyed the breakfast each morning, it was great. Location was convenient, very walkable and close to major attractions.
