We loved our three night visit in May depsite a shaky start. We arrived just before 10 pm following some 16 hours of travel from the western US. Despite my request (via an exchange of prior emails) for an especially quiet room while we were trying to overcome jet lag, it turns out they were going to put us on... More

The location of this hotel is awesome, a 5 minute walk down to the Plaka area and just off Syntagma Square. All transport connections, be it the tram or metro are within reach at Syntagma. It is also a leisurely 10 - 15 minute walk to the Acropolis area. Extremely convenient for anyone interested in exploring Athens by foot. The... More

The New hotel is an excellent choice for a stay in Athens. Funky design, lovely rooms, a good gym and a great roof top bar. The breakfast was excellent and the service was great. Location is also perfect as you can walk to all the major sites and good eateries.

Very centrally located hotel we stayed at the end of our 3 week trip to the Islands. Our experience was nothing exceptional but completely adequate for our 2 night stay. Great lounge on roof top and well stocked breakfast with lots of variety to suit all. It is expensive and based on this, alone we would probably choose elsewhere, next... More

Fantastic Location. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant interior design. Had booked a Junior Suite as some of he other rooms looked a little on the small side. At 10pm on Night 1, we received a call from reception offering us a complimentary upgrade to the Penthouse Suite. Now THAT's a view! We spent a glorious three days with the biggest rooftop deck...

The design of this hotel is truly exceptional. The Campana Brother workshop salvaged wood and created fabulous sculptures decorating the lobby and restaurant. The hotel also features decorative walls of old light fixtures and clever redesigns of furniture from the previous hotel. Great location for walking around Athens; close to Syntagma Square yet far enough away to feel safe. We... More
