We recently stayed here for 3 nights, kicking off our Greek honeymoon. The hotel was booked through Uli Perschau at Dolphin Hellas, a TA in Athens. For 90 euro per night, this is an excellent choice. The room was large, the bed comfy. The lobby looked very nice and we had drinks at the bar a couple of nights. The breakfast buffet is very good and there are many choices. The location is great, very close to the Plaka and Acropolis. The only negative thing I have to say about this hotel is that there was no hook in the bathroom to hang up the shower head, so you had to hold it in your hand while showering. And sometimes the elevator was slow to come up, because there would be big groups coming and going and all their luggage would go in/out of the elevator. Other than that it was great.

  • Liked — breakfast, the location
  • Disliked — the bathroom shower

We loved the hotel !
The room was just fine, the location perficet and the staff exceptional! We arrived very early and knew that the room would be available later - but they gave us coffee in the lobby and 20 minutes later the room was ready. Same as when we left at a very later hour. We recommend highly!

My husband and I stayed at The Acropolis Select for 2 nights in July. We soon realised that the outside of the hotel and the street and surrounding buildings do not do it justice. The lobby area is quite modern, the staff more than helpful and friendly, our room was spacious, perfectly clean and more than adequate for our requirements. We had a balcony over looking the street and at no time had any trouble with excess noise. It was very hot in July so the excellent airconditioning was very much appreciated.
The hotel's location is definitely a huge bonus being close to The Acropolis and The Plaka without paying top prices. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend it for it's location, cleanliness and price.

  • Liked — Location re The Plaka, The Acropolis etc and the price
  • Disliked — It's a shame the area surrounding the hotel is not a bit tidier.
  • Tips/Secrets: — Don't expect too much; the price and the location is just great.

I have recently returned from an 8 day Cosmos tour of Greece and enjoyed my stay at this hotel which was 3 nights in total. I was given a double room for each of the nights although I was travelling alone and was therefore more than large enough for me. The buffet breakfast was good with a selection of hot and cold food and the staff were very helpful and advised me on where and how to catch the bus to the beach.

The location of the hotel means that it is only a couple of minutes walk to the Acropolis and the Plaka district of Athens. As a single female traveller I was more than happy with this hotel and would happily stay there again

8/9 found this review helpful

We also experienced the "no room available" scam with this hotel. We had been there at the beginning of our trip to Greece and really liked the place. But when we arrived at the end of our trip we learned that although we were holding a confirmation letter stating we had a room for two nights, it was a "mistake" and it was really for another hotel. The staff was not helpful. We had to pay for a cab to take us to another hotel far from the Acropolis Select. Since we chose this hotel because of the great location we were upset at the change in location. Then we arrived at the "comparable" hotel and found it was a DUMP. Wall paper was peeling off the walls, our room had only a shower, the toilet wouldn't flush and the electricity went out. We only stayed one night...found a much better hotel on our own and lost the money for the second night.

Beware all travelers--even if you have confirmation of a reservation at the Acropolis Select, you may not actually have a room. Enough travelers on this site have experienced this to make it seem a deliberate pattern.

  • Liked — Location
  • Disliked — "Bait and Switch" scam when we returned at the end of our trip
  • Tips/Secrets: — Beware, a confirmed reservation does not mean you actually will get a room here.
