We were pleased to discover that the positive reviews on Trip Advisor, which had prompted us to make a reservation at this hotel, were absolutely correct. The location at the edge of The Plaka was outstanding with a partial view of the Acropolis, we had a "suite" with a separate living room and kitchenette, the bedroom and bathroom were nice... more

After our cruise, my husband and I stayed here for one night. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Upon arrival we received a warm welcome from the young woman at the front desk. She helped us figure out where to go eat which was also an excellent choice. The room was cozy with a very comfortable, clean... more

Following the advice of Tripadvisor, we booked a junior suite at the AVA Hotel in the Plaka area of Athens and could not have been more pleased. Staff was friendly and very helpful, and our suite was the best--traditional with high ceilings, step out balcony with a view of the Akropolis, and wood furnishings, but state of the art in... more

Don’t think twice: hotel in Athens? AVA. The only choice. My friends and I stayed at the Ava Athens in September 2009, and from location, to rooms, to amenities, to service, this hotel is the best choice. First: location. Whether you’re in Athens for the historical sights, great shopping, or fantastic food, AVA is the place to be. It is... more

Best rating we can give, no reserves So close to Plaka and yet so quiet at night. So clean and amenable. We were worried we wouldn't be as comfortable during the rest of our trip! Whatever positive that you can read in the other reviews is true. more

We spent a few days here at the end of our 30th Anniversary Meditterranean/Greek Island cruise... wish we'd had a few more days. The staff were incredible and there was a bottle of champagne/chocolates in our room to welcome us on our special anniversary trip (did not even get this treatment on our OVER-priced 2week cruise!) Our room was huge/comfortable/quiet... more

We spent 2 nights at Ava before boarding our cruise ship. I can't imagine a more perfect place to stay! The location was ideal, could walk to all the major sites easily. It is on a small street with Hadrian's Arch at one end, and the Acropolis at the other. Our room was beautiful, clean, wonderfully decorated, and had everything... more

In September 2009, my wife and I spent five nights at the AVA hotel in Athens. Prior to arriving, the hotel was very responsive to our emailed questions. The AVA is a small hotel with an excellent location on a narrow street between Hadrian's Arch and the Acropolis, both of which can be seen from rooms with a balcony. We... more
