Athesense Suites

Friendly staff and great views from roof deck. Walkable to Plaka area.

Despite a lot of construction and congestion in this neighborhood, the hotel itself was lovely and well kept. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and tidy. The only disappointment is what they describe as a swimming pool was extremely small and honestly ended up feeling like more of a hot tub because it is on the roof and was not controlled.

The area itself is a bit shocking when you first arrive, but then you'll discover that all of Athens looks like this. A bit dirty and worn down. But once you step inside, you'll be pleasantly surprised. We stayed in the 2 bedroom, 2 bath room and it was very clean, very spacious and a great location within walking distance to the Parthenon, museums, restaurants and shopping. The staff was very helpful, the pool is really just a hot tub but we used it several times in the evening.

Hotel is not in a bad area, very safe. Within about 5-10 mins walk you are in the main area. Room was very nice but there was no net curtain so we could not let in natural light without everybody outside seeing directly in as it was close to the road. Extremely loud construction nextdoor. Drilling began at 7.30am and it’s by far the loudest construction i’ve ever heard while at a hotel. It sounded like they were about to drill through our wall. Walked downstairs to tell reception but it was just as loud down there and in the corridor on the way down. This was not advertised. The hotel should either not be operating or it should be advising customers of the noise and offering discounts in advance.

It was fine for a couple of nights but definitely more of a serviced apartment than a hotel. Furniture was basic and the noise proofing in the room wasn't great which is an issue if you want to get to sleep before midnight. The location is ok - walkable to a lot of sites but there aren't many shops etc in the immediate location and the bus that runs on the road is not frequent. We found out the pool was closed when we arrived - it would have been helpful to have been informed in advance. On the plus side the room was clean with plenty of room, the beds comfortable and staff helpful. Overall, an ok stay but I wouldn't book again as there are nicer hotels in better locations for the same price.

The hotel staff was great and the rooms and rooftop deck were very nice. The balcony of our room faces an old tenement building and the neighborhood is a little seedy but I never felt unsafe walking around. There is a great vegan restaurant called Veganita about a five minute walk from the hotel.

Marissa, George, and our driver Emmannuael were so kind and helpful. They gave us great recommendations for places to eat and go, as well as directions. Our room was quite small, but clean and the bed and pull out sofa very comfortable. The rooftop was amazing with an awesome view of the Acropolis!

This hotel is very lovely. Friendly staff and great location to walk to major sites and tram stops. The room has everything you need and an amazing shower and comfortable bed! Amazing value compared to other places we looked at. Highly recommend this restaurant close by Ψητοπωλείο ΠΑΥΛΗΣ 4 min walk and unreal food and value!

Lovely clean room with AC, balcony that had a secondary window to help with sound proofing. Staff were great and welcoming, rooftop drinking area and pool had great views of the acropolis and Athens.

Location is great, the room was nice and clean, staff was accommodating. Perfect place for our family to stay.

Wonderful small boutique hotel walking distance to the Acropolis Museum, shops, and restaurants. George recommended a small local restaurant visitors wouldn’t know about and we ate there each evening of our stay. Cold water bottles are available each morning. Be sure to book room 401, the panoramic view suite for a picture perfect view of the Parthenon. Quiet, comfortable, helpful, a good place to stay.

Great hotel, very friendly and accommodating staff. Roof top pool with view is amazing. This is a small boutique style hotel outside of the main touristy area of athens but easily walkable to main attractions.

Booked and the high price specifically for swimming pool compared to other properties at same time. But unfortunately were told it was getting repaired. No update re this nor compensation. Otherwise location and transport services close by to all major attractions.

Rooms were spacious and clean, good air conditioning. Some traffic noise but not too intrusive. Area is quite run down but didn't feel unsafe and was with walking distance of most things we wanted to do/see. No restaurant or bar at the hotel which would have been nice but plenty nearby. There is a small pool but was closed for maintenance while we were there.

What a wonderful surprise this hotel is! Truly a spectacular view of the Acropolis and Parthenon (at night it looks like a staged setting!). Although all of Athens is covered in graffiti, which makes the area look dubious, we felt VERY safe walking even late at night. The rooms were immaculate, with amenities including private bathrooms, shower gels/shampoos, a fridge with water bottles, a safe, a microwave, and a Nescafé machine. It was very close to walk to meals and pastries. The managers/desk attendants are so very helpful - offering directions and suggestions. Unfortunately, we only speak English, but there was no communication barrier - their English is very good. We arranged transport from and to the airport through the hotel and had excellent, prompt, courteous drivers! The only "complaint" we had was no on-site lounge/food. Apparently, everyone in Greece orders food and has it delivered! There are delivery bikes everywhere! We highly recommend the Athesense Hotel - if we make it back to Athens, we will be staying again!

Very well equipped and clean room. The apartment was plenty big enough for 2 people. The location is perfect for visiting historic sights of athens . The staff were extremley friendly and helpful. It is not in a smart area, but felt very safe and the ease of walking everywhere was great. The roof top pool is lovely but unfortunately the weather was very poor during our stay so we did not use it.

Staff was wonderful!

Room was clean and the hotel staff was friendly. Good view of the Parthenon on roof top.

Property was lacking in many ways

The front desk staff is incredible and very helpful. The hotel is nice. We were excited for the stay until… We asked for help with something unexpected but discovered that management or the owner of the hotel does not care one bit about any complaints even when warranted, so buyer beware if you run into an issue you are on your own. We had massive construction each day at 7:30. Though it’s apparently been planned for a while the hotel didn’t bother advertising this or compensating in any way for it. By construction I mean impossible to ignore or rest. Drilling and hammering on our actual wall for hours. When we asked to be put in touch with senior management or ownership they hid conveniently behind their staff and ignored us. If it weren’t for the following issue I would have rated this much higher. This isn’t a massive chain and so one would assume they care about the individual client - but whomever they are they don’t. I would avoid this hotel regardless of the great reviews which drew me to it as well.
