Perfectly located on a quiet street amidst the hustle of the Plaka/Acropolis tourist center. Very comfortable and surprisingly well-equipped king bed room. The kitchenette was a blessing. Plenty of hot water and pressure and ventilation in the loo. Full door opens to depressing alley-way but allows for fresh air. Rooms on the street could be noisier. Power requires room key. Very helpful staff. Nice looking breakfast (we didn't try but looked good).

We chose this hotel based upon the other reviews on TripAdvisor and it did not disappoint! The hotel booked our taxi pick up from the airport (55€) and our driver was so nice. Met us right as we came out of baggage claim and took us to the car. We didn’t want to carry our bags on the metro and this was so easy. AVA hotel is located in Plaka and it steps from everything! This hotel itself is very nice and the staff was so nice and helpful. We booked an executive suite (room 102) and it was so big! Kitchen, desk for working, living room, bedroom, a gorgeous bathroom and a lovely balcony. You could enter the balcony from both the living room and the bedroom. From the balcony you can see the Acropolis (not the Parthenon) and Hadrian's Gate. The room was quiet and we heard no noise from the street. As you leave the hotel you really are in the middle of everything. You can walk everywhere and have many options for lunch/dinner and shopping. The breakfast is buffet and had many options. Was filling and a great way to start the day. We had to leave for the airport prior to breakfast opening in the morning, so the staff made us ham sandwiches, gave us fruit and breakfast bars as well as water for the morning. It was so thoughtful. We booked a taxi back to the airport (and they got us the same driver). You will not be disappointed with the AVA hotel.…

Post cruise stay -- I love this boutique hotel! The décor, ambience, the service, the breakfast, location, the room, the toiletries...everything was wonderful! Our room was not ready, so they held our luggage and they put our luggage in our room when it was ready! There was a hand written note with complimentary sparkling wine in our room. These personal touches I love so much! There was also a small kitchenette too! The room was so large like a small studio apartment! The room was so clean and fresh upon arrival! Very spacious! Comfy bed and pillows. The breakfast was fantastic, fresh with different choices, and the dining area was so lovely! The service was so friendly and very cordial. The hotel is walking distance to the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. It is a great location overall. I wish we could had stayed longer than one night, I really loved this hotel! …

We stayed at the Ava Hotel in Athens for 4 nights before our cruise. It was perfect! The location was within walking distance to the Acropolis, the HOHO bus, shops, and lots of outdoor restaurants. Our beautiful balcony room had views of the Acropolis in one direction and Hadrians Arch in the other. It was a perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine and relax at night. The breakfasts were amazing! The staff were friendly and helpful before and during our stay. The Ava Hotel is a quiet oasis in the heart of Athens! It could not have been any better!

We enjoyed our lovely executive room (more like an apartment), and the balcony view of the Acropolis!! Location is perfect and so convenient. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful both in service and recommendations of places to eat/see/do. Would definitely stay here again!

What a wonderful small hotel. It's right in the center of everything-- less than 10 minute walk to the lower (less congested) entrance to the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum, 3 minute walk to the Platka, maybe 12 minute walk to Syntagma Square. All the hop-on-hop-off busses stop less than 1 block from the hotel.. Fantastic helpful friendly staff, impeccible cleanliness, and a very nice buffet breakfast. We had an Exclusive Suite and it had a large balcony with large table and comfortable chairs with pads and a spectacular view of the Acropolis. Rooms are absolutely soundproof although the little street gets little traffic. We highly recommend this great hotel !

This is a cute boutique hotel and great location. We arrive at the hotel at 11:30am and Vassia got a room ready for us. We were able to check in early. The rooms are clean and nice. It is located 5-15 mins walk from all the major attractions in downtown Athens(Acropolis, Plaka,Syntagma metro station). Vassia was nice and went above and beyond to make our stay great. She also got a taxi to take us to the cruise port. She is awesome. I would definitely recommend and stay there again if I return to Athens.
