The Alex Monte Kastella

I booked this hotel initially because it was in the neighborhood of a cruise we were boarding. We had a few days to explore, and found an abundance of food and amenities in the neighborhood. The rooftop restaurant is very good; we ate most everything breakfast there and some dinners. Finally, the main areas of Athens were not far away by cab or train, so made several trips up there too.

Here’s a polished version of your review: Our stay was okay overall, but there were a few disappointments. We upgraded to a Sea View room, however the outdoor area wasn’t really usable as it had an unpleasant smell and wasn’t somewhere we wanted to spend any time. Breakfast was good, although there was some confusion as we were initially told it was included, only to find out later that it wasn’t. The surrounding area is fairly quiet, with not a lot happening within walking distance. The rooftop has great potential and offers nice views, but it currently lacks atmosphere and felt a bit lifeless during our stay. On the plus side, the hotel was conveniently located for us as we were boarding a cruise ship the next day, with only a short taxi ride to the port. It’s a balanced review that highlights both the positives and the areas that could be improved.

This hotel was superb. The staff was accommodating, and the rooms were great. Having an onsite bar and restaurant was helpful, although we did find eateries easily in the surrounding area.

Our favourite pre cruise Athens hotel. Always welcoming and helpful. Lovely food and enjoyable relaxed roof top bar.

Perfect hotel for a short stay before our cruise! The location was ideal, making it convenient to explore and prepare for embarkation. The restaurant offered breathtaking views, and the food was absolutely superb. What truly set this hotel apart was the outstanding staff. From the moment we arrived, they came outside to assist with our luggage and warmly invited us to sit back and relax while they completed the check-in process. Their hospitality made us feel welcome from the very beginning. I will definitely be staying here again on my next visit to Athens!

Great common area and public space..tiny room

Location to Mikrolimano where there are many restaurants. Staff very nice food was good. The only negative was the noise from traffic at night. The balcony doors weren't sound proof enough.

We booked this hotel for our overnight stay prior to going on our cruise. Hotel is only 10 minutes from the cruise terminal. What a find. Amazing staff, great hotel, incredible food at very reasonable prices and walkable to the Marina where there is an abundance of restaurants and bars to choose from. We will definitely be back !

The hotel had a nice clean room with very accommodating staff. The location was very good because it had many different food restaurants along the marina within walking distance.

Excellent service and extremely clean, stay in a suite , they are very spacious and have excellent air con and amenities. The evening menu could do with some fish on the menu, the breakfast is one of the best we have ever had at a hotel Overall excellent and only a 5 min walk to the marina.

Superb. We only staying one night on our way to the islands but what a great night it was. The hotel is well situated, very well appointed and really well run. The rooftop bar and dining area is spectacular as is the breakfast which is served there in the morning. Restaurants and bars are ten minutes walk away and located in a lovely crescent harbour. Oh, and you can see the Acropolis from the rooftop, yes you can.

Huge shout out to Anisa who worked at the restaurant she was so nice and helpful. The food and drink were good. Very clean; comfortable rooms and fabulous shower. It was close to Piraeus center and restaurants.

Very nice, clean, restaurant on the roof was convenient and very good! We only stayed one night after our cruise and enjoyed the views. The only caveat was there was a basketball game that the local team won and till the wee hours of the morning there was a lot of loud celebrations going on. With 2 large stadiums nearby, you might want to check the sports schedule, lol. All in all everything went well.

Clean convenient great staff

The Alex was charming, clean and centrally located. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The views are spectacular, especially from the rooftop restaurant/bar. The food was delicious and the staff was wonderfully accommodating and polite. I highly recommend this hotel to any travelers going to Piraeus.

Amazing view from the room and the rooftop. Food good, wait staff a bit clueless. Breakfast excellent. Just a little tired, comfy bed and exceptional air conditioning

It is an old building that has had renovations done. Elevator will only one person with one suitcase. Room was clean. Front desk staff were friendly. No hot water in room at 9pm for showers. Very noisy on room facing street. Dining room staff were EXTREMELY slow and food prepared slowly. Didn't seem properly staffed.

Words cannot express how great this hotel was! Firstly the position overlooking the bay, and the rooftop restaurant really makes great use of this. The food is excellent and service impeccable. The rooms are small ( we got the budget room) but adequate with a very comfy bed and a great rainfall shower. Everywhere is meticulously clean! The staff all excel to provide excellent service, often anticipating tasks to ensure a truly great stay. George was particularly attentive. I would recommend this hotel and cannot wait to come back to it someday

It is very close to the cruise terminal and very nice with great staff and beautiful restaurant.

This Boutique Hotel offered a warm greeting! Rooms are smaller modern and functional C/W a charming lift. The roof top restaurant offers excellent dinner and breakfasts, with an expansive view of the harbour. Convenient for the cruise port, will not hesitate to book in future visit!
