The Stanley is a great hotel to stay at while visiting Athens. Here are some detailed notes about the property. Room: -Stayed in a room with twin beds -Bed was large and allowed us to both sleep comfortably (long enough for tall guests– I am 6-foot-2) -Bedding and pillows were very comfortable -In-room air conditioning was powerful and allowed us to sleep at a comfortable temperature–perfect for people who prefer to sleep cold -Balcony was large and featured solid views of downtown Athens, the valley/surrounding mountains -Curtains blocked most of the light, but if you are sensitive to light, bring an eye mask -Other room features: mini-fridge, safe for valuables, coffee maker Hotel/Amenities: -Amazing rooftop pool with stunning views of the Acropolis, downtown Athens, and sea/mountains on a clear day -Comfortable lounge chairs/beds at the pool -Huge restaurant/bar with amazing views -Elevators were a bit small and slow, so patience is sometimes required (also have stairs to all rooms if you prefer to walk) -Friendly hotel staff and cleaning crews -Relatively quiet rooms–did not hear neighbors, but the hallway can get a bit loud after 10 AM Location: -Hotel is located right next to the Metaxourgeio metro stop, which makes travel to major sites quick, easy, and affordable -Felt safe walking around streets at night, even though many surrounding buildings/streets appear rundown -Great bakery/coffee shop steps away from the hotel

Was really excited about this hotel but it was a bit of a let down. Room was smaller and more run down than in the pictures. The first room we were given had an old smell but thankfully the staff were able to change our room with no hassle and the smell was gone. The pool area, rooftop bar and views are really what you are paying for and they were stunning. Pool area did get a bit crowded at times. The service upstairs was good, at times not overly friendly but they were busy. The area around the hotel is a bit grungy, although we did have a great dinner at Mironi which is nearby. A little loud outside at times, especially on the lower floors but was quiet after midnight. Probably would stay a bit closer to the city centre if I were to visit Athens again.

We Love The Stanley

Our stay at The Stanley Hotel was amazing! Check-in was smooth and welcoming, and we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade. The hotel itself is beautiful, with thoughtful amenities that truly set it apart. One of the highlights was the rooftop bar and restaurant—everything we tried was fresh and absolutely delicious, with stunning views to match. The location is also perfect, with the metro literally around the corner, making it easy and cost-effective to get anywhere in the city. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be staying here again on our next visit to Greece.
