Athens hotels near Old Acropolis Museum

Pros: The pool, the view during breakfast time (and pool time), the welcoming attitude of the short haired blond lady at the entrance of 10th floor, and the positive-helpful-funny attitude of one of the many concierges, a guy who has a beard. Apologies for not remembering the names

Cons: Breakfast is not a 5* stars hotel breakfast, choice is not wide, just the basics. The rest of the concierges are not welcoming, not very helpful, and have a supercilious attitude. Plus, on our day of check-out on Sept 1St, we were not allowed to have a late check out. So we stayed at the lobby, with no problem. My daughter was feverish, and I had to ask the bellman where is the closest pharmacy. No problem till now. But then comes a group of 20+ persons, Asians, with their guide, they sat in the lobby, extremely noisy, feet and shoes on the canapés, no problem until now, until their EXTREMELY NOISY AND CARELESS FOR OTHER GUESTS guide, started to present to them every single detail for their upcoming trip to the islands. More than one hour!!! I went to the concierges desk and showed disappointment, they did not do anything. After another half an hour, I had to go again to the concierges desk, blame them and the hotel rather than the Asians, because this is complete disrespect to all the other guests. I told them that they shouldn't have let this happen in the lobby of the hotel, and they should have planned to put them in a side room. And I threatened to put all this on Trip Advisor, which I will. Only then, they called the manager who asked the group and their not-appealing guide to move to another room. But it was quite too late after 1.30 hours. And I will sure not stay again in a hotel who doesn't respect and take care of the well-being of all its guests

Pros: Everything!!! It’s an outstanding hotel in every way!!!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The decor, the room are comfortable and fresh. The 10th floor was amazing. The pool, the restaurant and most important the breath taking view of the Acropolis. It never gets old. The decor the the hotel is wonderful. The front desk was friendly and welcoming. The breakfast is truly a breakfast .The staff is friendly and efficient. All round fantastic.

Pros: Very nice hotel at the very center of Athens! Very attentive and helpful personnel!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: We loved our room, the design of the property, the central location and the incredible views from their rooftop restaurant and pool area. Our favorite part of our stay was watching the sunset while having dinner on the rooftop, and enjoying breakfast there in the morning.

Cons: No complaints.

Pros: New and feels cutting edge. Good location right in the heart of everything. A/C in the rooms works well on hot summer days.

Cons: The way in which the hotel is new and cutting edge feels like it was put together very quickly, and in a few years time won't be that nice. Showers seem to leak water all over the bathroom. Service at the restaurant/bar on the rooftop is mediocre.

Pros: Fantastic hotel near to downtown and everything available Staff are friendly

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location, food, friendly service, comfort

Cons: Pool area could be bigger

Pros: The view from the rooftop bar and restaurant was worth everything. Very modern hotel. Beautiful lobby bar area.

Pros: Amazing location. Very professional staff. Beautiful hotel, amazing rooftop view, great spa facilities, luxurious rooms/bathrooms (and spacious), clean

Cons: The rooftop restaurant is terrible! The view is incredible. The food there is as bad as it gets. Take in the view during the free breakfast; the meals they serve there at all other times is not worth paying for (it is disgusting, masquerading as "haute cuisine" The spa is nice but lacks any written guidelines to ensure guest tranquility. Letting children use the spa and having no rules relating to that can ruin the experience for other guests. Kids shouldn't be in the hot tub/heated pool area unsupervised. Nor should they be learning how to swim or doing water tricks. It's supposed to be peaceful. Children shouldn't ruin experience for other guests. We couldn't use sauna or steam room because it was overrun with young kids. I have no problem with children but the lack of any rules or restrictions as it pertains to the spa is really problematic at Electra Metropolis. as a result my enjoyment of facilities was extremely limited.

Pros: Good size room , clean

Cons: Dinner, roof top restaurant one meal excellent the other cold Bed soft Pillows poor Maid knocked 3 times when check out was 12 noon! Shower over bath rail in wrong place difficult access Room 228

Pros: Professionalism of the staff People in your staff that went above and beyond like Eleni from front desk Wifi was exceptional

Cons: Didn’t stay long enough

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff!

Pros: Breakfast was awesome and the staff gave us a quality treatment.

Pros: Breakfast good. Location practical.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: everything was in top shape. the employees were polite, nice and very helpful.

Cons: Adequate number of face wash cloth were not put in the rooms on a daily basis.

Pros: Rooms big and very clean , staff very friendly.

Cons: Checking in not enough staff , took a long time.

Pros: Good location. Generous sized rooms.

Cons: Would have liked to have a separate shower instead of having to clamber into the bath!

Pros: Family friendly as well as suitable for business travel. Staff at all times friendly and helpful.

Pros: Very comfortable room and staff were super friendly and accommodating of all our requests.

Cons: Conveniently located although the downtown area is starting to look really dilapidated and many buildings are now abandoned so I’d caution against walking anywhere nearby at night. Taxis are readily available though and the hotel offers a free shuttle to the main tourist area.

Pros: Very helpful staff Rooms are spacious and comfy

Cons: Facilities are old and needs refurbishment Location is not the best

Pros: Nice room well equipped and very clean

Cons: It is not possible for an hotel like this to wait more than one hour at the check in

Pros: Bed are the worst, location far away from the center. In the end not worth the money

Cons: Beds

Pros: I liked the location but it is far from main sights,room size was good,the bed comfortable

Cons: it looks old ,it needs renovation, broken items in the room ( furniture, kettle ), dirty carpet in the corridors

Pros: Location was not really walkable to the Plaka but metro was walkable for us (68 y.o.) and taxis are readily available. Good restaurants are around the corner. Breakfast was very good although buffets like that are busy and not especially relaxing . Concierge was great and they upgraded our room on the last night so that we didn't have to change rooms before our cruise which was departing on the last day of our stay. Great views from our room and an outdoor balcony accompanying our suite.

Cons: Thought it was a little pricey although we booked an executive suite because we like the extra space. The executive lounge (free drinks and snacks) was in the main lounge in the lobby which seemed odd and it sometimes seemed like we were being too forward asking for it. Wish is were a separate, quiet space on another floor. Some of the appointments in the room could use a lift (curtains which sagged, nicks in the wood furniture made some of it look worn, etc).

Pros: Rooftop bar and view, proximity to dining and beaches.

Cons: I expected more comfort at the executive room level.

Pros: Facilities are great; staff extremely professional and helpful; excellent value. Good location, walkable to tourist areas but also in a non-touristy area itself which is a nice change of pace

Cons: Hotel is quite dated in parts

Pros: To be honest, " Everything" !!! The roof top pool was extra special as were the staff . Food was Devine.

Cons: Enjoyed Everything!

Pros: the hotel was clean, spacious, and luxurious. When a fan was making noise during the middle of the night, the concierge offered us another room for the night so we could sleep. excellent service!

Pros: Really nice amenities. Spa. Pool. Dining options. Staff was friendly.

Pros: Very nice staff. Pool on roof top terrace is amazing! breakfast very taste.

Cons: It was too cold in the conference rooms. Breakfast could have included a few more vegan options.

Pros: I was on a tour. The first night was on me. very good room and this extended to second night. Off i went on the tour and returned for last night. This room was very small and nothing like the first night. There was painting and construction on floor and we had to pass through this to get to the room. The hotel did call to let me know about the length of work and offered a new room. I was too tired to move. They did send up a lovely tray of fruit and bottle water. I think the size of the room was picked by the tour not the hotel. The staff was great.

Cons: The business center. Not personal at all. I walked in asking about the getting a boarding pass. The lady pointed to the computer. I explained that I was not knowledgeable about computers. I was told to key in my airline and follow instructions. No help. She was not busy. I guest I look like a tourist and not a business person.

Pros: Our family enjoyed the rooftop pool as a wonderful break from sightseeing, and the included breakfast far exceeded expectations !!

Pros: Very nice accommodation and really friendly staff. Excellent breakfast buffet

Pros: Everything, awesome place

Pros: The rooftop staff attendant was really good.

Cons: Just location is run down and pool hours was too crazy. They could have leave it open 24 hours. Fir sure it is not 5 star

Pros: Not much overall. Most of the staff are surly to say the least.

Cons: Negative attitudes.

Pros: roof top location was exceptional, food was varied and plentiful

Cons: I wanted space out of the bars to rest, play cards. Did not find any.

Pros: View from top was good. Good bed, pillows and sheets. Nice breakfast but busy.

Cons: Some dodgy characters in the streets nearby. Not sure about the location

Pros: Bed was very comfy and the room was quiet. Slept brilliantly!

Pros: Super comfy bed Beautiful view of the Parthenon 24h taxi in front of the hotel Empathic front staff

Cons: Unprofessional and non smiling staff from F&B Food quality is not good Water pression is either too hot or cold Pool area really small, something like 15 sun beds

Pros: The property on the inside was awesome, on the outside... surroundings...I was not impressed.

Cons: 1. We chose this hotel ONLY because the Kayak info said a "hotel shuttle" is available. We wanted to be close to the airport to fly out the next morning. We thought we would save the expense of a taxi to and from the airport. There was no shuttle. When we call the hotel, they told us no such thing as a shuttle. They would only arrange to send me a taxi @ €45.00. And this could only be arranged via email...not over the ph. We simply took a cab to the hotel # €43.00. To the airport the next morning...no shuttle. We took a taxi @ €44.00. If you people do no have a shuttle like we are use to in the US...do not mislead innocent pepole like us. That is false advertising. The availability of a shuttle in the ONLY reason why we picked this hotel. 2. At the front desk I changed out some US$ for € after checking in. We plan to do some last minute shopping before we fly out the next day. What we did not know was that, that very day was a national holiday (the Verging Mary Holiday ) all the stores were closed. On checking out the next morning they would not take back the € currency. I told them that we did not know that there was a holiday. They said they can't take it back. That was just not right. These 2 things has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I am not a happy camper...especially with the shuttle issue. That was flat out wrong. You can't say that there is a shuttle when there is none. People from the US is use to taking a free shuttle ride to and from the airport to hotels and rent a car locstions.

Pros: Rooms very nice, comfortable beds and quiet. Great views from roof terrace.

Cons: Bar staff a bit rude. Drinks and food expensive. Pool crowded and closes early.

Pros: We enjoyed the rooftop terrace. Unwinding looking out a the Acropolis with a nice meal & cocktail was the most enjoyable part of our stay.

Cons: The location was a shock, we stepped out of the taxi and wanted to turn back. The location is dirty and at night feels unsafe to walk around. It felt far away from the tourist area although having the Hop on Hop off Bus across the road was the only bonus. The hotel itself felt dark and heavy. We booked an Acropolis view room & when you look out the window the first view to hit you is the many vacant unkept units and graffiti everywhere. House keeping would come around at inconvenient times; 5pm when you have come back tired to your room to unwind and you have to go elsewhere to wait for them to finish and then 9am when your using the bathroom and they let themselves in. Won't be returning.

Cons: neighborhood

Pros: Location is good, but is a Pakistan area

Cons: The hotel is 2 stars max. There was a whole in the bathroom, that we had to close with the painting of bedroom. Needs renovation. No room service.

Pros: Very friendly woman on reception during the day extremely helpful Level of Cleaning of the rooms each day was beyond expected for a short stay V close to metros and the train station for the airport Very easy and reliable to get suburban rail line to airport takes about 50 mins and runs every hour Smaller and larger supermarkets within short walking distance 20-30 min walk to acropolis on main roads

Cons: Location was quite good but best to stay on main roads at night Reception staff gave map and pointed out best routes to avoid small dark streets at night which was v helpful so overall no issue

Pros: The room was clean and the staff were really helpful

Pros: Central and affordable. Easy to get to and get around. Clean.

Cons: Room smelled horribly of cigarette smoke.

Pros: Staff were so nice and very helpful.

Cons: Location wasn’t the best! But the staff outshined that!

Pros: Nice and clean.front desk staff was very helpful specialy Mr Francisco went beyond the way to help us from booking the tours to arrange the taxi for airport.

Cons: Lift was quite small so it was hard to bring luggage up.

Pros: Reception personal was Great and helpfull. They recommend me a close restaurant with greek food and help with taxi and all.

Cons: We were there a short night. So it was worth during the night..

Pros: Nice and comfortable apartment. Shower was great. Location was a 10 mins drive from the city center (Plaka).

Pros: Comfortable beds, spacious, really lovely, helpful staff. Overall great stay.

Cons: Single remote for both A/C's, shower easily leaks water into bathroom. Please add hooks for clothes in bathroom.

Cons: The staff was great!

Pros: This is pure Class. We were fortunate to receive an upgrade that took it to another level. The facilities are fantastic .

Cons: There absolutely nothing we didn't like about our stay here.

Pros: Everything especially how the hotel was centrally located in the city

Cons: Bathroom needs to be updated

Pros: Beautiful room and great views of the city from our balcony.

Cons: I wish I had this good of a room here when I stayed earlier in the week however today was amazing.

Pros: Buffet breakfast was fantastic. The facilities of the hotel (swimming pool & gym) were great. View of the Acropolis was also nice from the pool deck.

Pros: Location was great, and it served its purpose as a resting spot for those travelers not looking to spend too much time at the hotel. Very clean too.

Cons: Rooms were a bit small and the balcony had no view whatsoever.

Pros: Great value for money, very clean and comfortable, with great facilities, including a small fitness area. Wonderful view on the rooftop of the acropolis, and nice food with a relaxed service. My only complaint would be that we had to wait a long time to get a table in the hotel restaurant, which is not something we expect when eating in a hotel. Having said that, food was offered in the bar area too (from a different, smaller menu) so we decided to eat there after a while and were pleased with the service. It is very easy to get the underground to all parts of Athens as the tram stop is directly next to the hotel.

Pros: This was a nice accommodation in Athens. We were only here for one night because it was the end of our holiday. The reception staff were very helpful and nice.

Cons: This hotel is not in a great location for Athens. If you want to walk to the Plaka area or to the archaeological sites you have to pass through some pretty unsafe/seedy ares of town.

Pros: Food was nice the first time I came.

Cons: I asked the front desk guy to swipe 89 euros from my card which I gave there. But he reduced it from debit card. I was really disappointed because of that and also the food on the second visit was bad. You asked me to go to the mezzanine floor as it's for the people who stay in expensive rooms. But the food there was horrible, especially the eggs. I almost puked. I am giving a good ratings because I was happy with everything else and the niceness of your staff. Thanks a lot for that.

Pros: Very pleasant staff, very attentive , rooms are always clean, fresh . A very good view from the rooftop.

Cons: The location is not the best. Every time to get to the city center we needed to go by metro, otherwise it was too long to go by foot. The elevator is too slow, it takes minutes. The pool is bad, small and water is very cold. Unpleasant for swimming.

Pros: Helpful staff.

Cons: Watch out for those elevators.

Pros: The breakfast was rich and generous , the location is really good just next to the metro , the welcoming atmosphere and the roof top with the pool have an amazing panoramic view over Athen , the room price was relatively good!

Pros: Nice staff

Cons: Food not that great, menu too limited

Pros: Close to the historic sites and to the Metro
