I stayed here for 3 nights as part of a group of twelve women, we had 4 tripple rooms, one room used the same lift/staircase as the rooftop bar, the othe three a different one. We had no big problems with the lift as we usually used the stairs. There are always a line of people waiting to get to... More

Our tour guide Kostas (see ‘Athens walks’ for the best tour guide of Athens!!) recommended ‘A for Athens’ to us and he set up the reservation, including specifying which room he thought we would like. The hotel room was huge by European standards with a large picture window, a couch, queen size bed, and a good sized bathroom with a... More

If you want to get a good hotel – that might be your choice: big new rooms, comfortable beds, huge shower, new equipment, café on the roof with a view, etc. But there are two things to know. First, the place itself: roundabouts of Monastiraki are not luxury or even mid-class district, so not be surprised to meet here different... More

We got a room on the 3rd floor with Acropolis view. The view was fabulous, especially when Acropolis lights up at night! The big and comfortable bed was right in front of the window and we could enjoy the great view all day and night long in absolute comfort. The room also overlooks the Monastiraki Square. Good for people-watching and... More

I had a two night stay here. Initially I was given room 55, the problem here was that there was scaffolding over the windows, with sacking covering, so no daylight at all. The room would be fine when this is cleared. I changed rooms to room 43 which is a beautiful room. Very large with sofas, table and chairs and... More

We only used the hotels cafeteria, on the roof. Excellent view of acropolis, but I would recommend the sixth floor when there's sunshine, because the sun in Greece is ruthless!!! Very good coffe, in rational for Athens prices. They had snacks and brunch dishes that looked lovely. On the down side the place was always overcrouded and noisy. The service... More

First of all the hotel has a really good location. At the center of "monastiraki" (downtown Athens) and just 50m walk from the metro station you can easily access any place of the city. The hotel is what you would call "boutique" since it is small but nice with a design that is simple but modern. The rooms are clean... More

This great hotel occupies a good location on the side of Monastiraki Square as you exit the Metro station. The hotel isclean, modern and stylish and the rooms are furnished in a minimalist, modern but tasteful way. The bathrooms are well appointed and feature one of the best showers I have had in any Greek hotel. There is a fantastic... More
