Great location to explore Athens, plus rooftop bar. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms are modern and bed was very comfortable! The bathroom was a bit quirky how the shower door/toilet were tight fit. We had a nice view of church from our room.

While the location of this hotel is great and the staff very nice, a hotel must be judged by the ability to stay and sleep comfortably. This hotel does not create a quiet environment for sleeping or relaxing. My room was on the 6th floor. The street noise, even at this level, was very loud, the loudest of any hotel I’ve ever stayed, but this was not the primary noise disturbance and not the reason for a 1-star review. Playing white noise could eliminate most of the street noise disturbances. The hotel also provides ear plugs. What neither the white noise nor the ear plugs could eliminate was the very loud bass/dance party music coming from the lounge above on floor 7. The walls shook from the beats of the bass. Nothing could dampen the disturbance from the loud beats, it was impossible to focus or sleep. After trying for over an hour to get to sleep, I decided to report the noise to the reception after 11PM. After my noise complaint, there was no follow-up and no attempt to even try and remedy the disturbance. The loud bass continued. For this lack of response to a request to lower noise so guests could sleep, this hotel gets 1-star.…

Well its been a while since, as a family of 5, we have visited this property (for COVID reasons). Not much has changed. Friendlier staff you wont find, great position. Good rooms and notwithstanding the passage of time they hold up well, remembering we have been coming here for 10 or so years. I will continue visiting this place. Its like a second home. Well priced also.

Loved this hotel. Very charming and unique. Much of the furniture and decor is made from bits and pieces of the original hotel! They have reused wooden pieces of old furniture to make new avant garde furniture and wall decor. It's very clean, and the staff was lovely and helpful, every one of them. Our rooms were not large, but very comfortable and quiet with plenty of accessible outlets and USB ports and conveniences. We had dinner there in the beautiful rooftop restaurant looking out at stunning views of Athens, and the food was excellent. The whole experience was great, and the price was right. And the location can't be beat!

Dear violet37, Thank you so much for choosing NEW hotel during your stay in Athens as well as recommending us on TripAdvisor. We are happy to read that you appreciated our unique design concept as well our hospitality and strategic location. Our renovation project was executed by the award winning designer duo Fernando & Humberto Campana and was based on the upcycling concept where all the furniture from the previous Olympic Palace Hotel were reprocessed and turned into living art installations. The designers drew from the urban street life, contemporary art and the favela culture as well as from their love for restoring and recycling. It is our great pleasure to know that you had the time to visit our rooftop Art Lounge, restaurant designed to embrace the breathtaking views of the major historic landmarks of Athens. It is comments like yours that motivate us to offer our outmost. We believe in personalized service for each and every one of our valuable guests and we are glad that we could pass on this warm “New” feeling. Our guest satisfaction is of great importance and it pleases us to know that as a team we exceeded your expectations. We will share your amazing comments of appreciation with our team and it will be our pleasure to welcome you back on your next visit in Athens. Happy Travels Natasa Papaefstathiou Public Relations

The hotel is in a good central location and the rooms are pleasant. My key issue was the hotel held a private party in the rooftop bar that went on until c02:30 which was incredibly loud and disrupted many guest’s sleep. Had the hotel informed us ahead of this then we would have changed our booking. Disappointingly, the hotel chose the interests of the party ahead of its guests.

Nestled in the centre of Athens, this is a convenient location for the sights, restaurants and transportation. We chose a superior plus room which had a balcony facing onto the church. The room was clean and had good amenities. Although not part of the room originally a coffee machine was installed. In fact the management checked via email about our initial views of the hotel and responded almost immediately to our comment about the lack of coffee making. The sleep quality is excellent. The design is modern. EiFi is free and fast. TV channels offer English language news. Food is very good. Breakfast is extensive being both a cold buffet and hot dishes. Some of the latter incur extra payment as they not included in the breakfast charge. However the inclusive hot options include standard fried, scrambled etc dishes with sausage, bacon tomato etc. the cold array has different cheeses from Greece and meats. Yoghurt is wonderful while fruits are fresh. The top floor restaurant offers lunch and dinner with brunch at weekend. The view incorporates the Acropolis. If chilly heaters are brought to the table side. The menu offers a good selection. Service was definitely a highlight. Everyone was helpful and were keen to be of service…

I would definitely stay here again. A short walk from Syntagma Square, which is a main metro stop, across from Parliament, and the top of the main pedestrian shopping street. Very nice room with room-darkening blinds. Even though we did not previously arrange, they were fine with us arriving early and checking out late.
