Athens 1890 Hotel & Spa

Excellent service. Great location. In the middle of the city, yet really quiet. Very clean and we'll appointed room. The Spa is ideal with a really professional team. We were sorry the restaurant was under renovation, but there are great eating options right by the hotel.can't wait to come back.

First some positives - staff were incredibly helpful and polite, amenities such as mini bar and robes were lovely, and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel is in a very central location, easy to walk to any of the sites and easy to get to by public transport. Hotel is very hard to find, it was pure luck that the concierge was outside smoking and asked us if we were looking for the hotel. The bathroom was not very well laid out at all. The shower tray filled with water and overflowed within a minute of the shower being on - there was a drain in the bathroom so unsure if this was by design? If so it was still poorly designed as the floor slopes down towards the door, so as well as flooding the bathroom it also floods the hallway. The room we had was advertised as having a hot tub, a more accurate term would be “out door bathtub, with jets”. It is only suitable in size for one person, and is overlooked by multiple windows.

First of all it was an amazing location. Small walk to all of Athens best locations. The room was great. Loved the bathroom and the jacuzzi was fantastic and worked well which is rarely the case. It could be a little more private but we used it just fine. The spa was wonderful with very welcoming staff. At first we were a little disappointed we had to pay extra for the spa but actually it was a wonderful experience / facilities and we ended up going back. The staff were very friendly / helpful and allowed us a late check out to use the spa and also held our bags until we left for the airport. Overall a wonderful experience and highly recommended.

DO NOT STAY HERE. They sold me a room with air conditioning. There was no air conditioning and the room was 26*C. Completely unacceptable. They told me in writing I would receive a refund due to this issue and I then booked another hotel. They have since and Hotels.com has since refused the refund. Absolutely terrible services.

Can be noisy on the stairwell.

We loved the old-fashioned room decor and the convenience of near all tourist attractions. The Fresco room was spacious, and the hot tub at the balcony (bring bathing suit) was a plus after hours of long walks.

The lady who checked us in was

Restaurant connected to hotel with tons of drink options. The bar staff was verybfriendly and spoke great English.

great location: easy to walk to basically everything you need to see in Athens in minutes. Plenty of restaurants and shops immediately around. the room was fantastic and very large w/a slightly separate sitting area, and was very clean (im picky). I also booked the room w/the outdoor hot tubon the balcony which was really great and relaxing after walking very day for weeks! also not that if you book a room w/breakfast included, the restaurant doesn't open until 8am,so if you have an early flight like it did you wont be able to take advantage of that. Staff was helpful and accommodating, however the check-in desk was located inside the restaurant, which was unusual but the staff helped direct me when they saw me coming w/my bags ... Also helpful, was that there was a small pull-off/parking area in front for taxis/vehicles (this is VERY handy when getting dropped off/picked up), since many hotels in Athens dont have this .. I would definitely stay again!

The entrance is through the restaurant, makes it feel a bit less safe and we had some trouble figuring this out. Checkin/checkout otherwise was easy and straight forward. We had a great stay - the room was amazing, quite big for europe with high ceilings, they could have probably made the bathroom bigger by even just 1 foot on each side, would make a huge difference. Pretty weird though that I was asked for a deposit for the room (or write down a CC number) - haven't been asked this anywhere else.

Staff was great! We would stay here again for sure.

They had a room with a queen and a single but for some reason they wouldn’t let three of us stay in it. Three women that were going on a cruise the next day and only rented it for one night. We had to get a whole new room for the third person and that was just wrong!

This hotel is really well located but it is worth noting the hotel spa/pool can only be used for 30 minutes a day which must be pre-requested. The breakfast comes at an additional charge which isn’t explicitly clear in the listing. Don’t get excited about your free drink on arrival as it’s only a bottle of water. Most of the staff are really friendly and the staff in the restaurant they share an entrance with are really welcoming as well.

A Beautiful, clean, well restrored and freshly renovated quaint hotel in the heart of Athens, n Athens , stone throw from Plaka Athens and Monastiraki and surrounded by fabulous dinning options and great shops.

The property was in the perfect location and we loved the spiral staircase and two balconies. The spa downstairs was a nice addition. Would definitely stay there again.

We really appreciated the kind and welcoming staff at check-in, and the room itself was charming—clean, quaint, and in a fantastic location close to great shopping, restaurants, and nightlife. It was a lovely setting for the final night of our 25th anniversary vacation. However, there were a few aspects of our stay that unfortunately didn’t match our expectations, especially considering the reason we booked this particular property. We noted our early arrival time in advance, but early check-in wasn’t available—and more importantly, there was no formal baggage storage. The staff kindly directed us to leave our luggage in an adjacent restaurant, but it didn’t feel secure and left us uneasy, especially after a long cruise with multiple bags. Additionally, one of the main reasons we chose this hotel was to use the spa before our travels home. Sadly, we were told it wasn’t available due to the absence of housekeeping at that time. This was a big disappointment, particularly as it was meant to be a relaxing close to our special trip. While we truly appreciated the warm staff and clean room, we feel a partial refund would be a fair gesture given that some of the key amenities and services we booked for were unavailable. We hope this feedback is helpful, and we would encourage future guests to confirm access to amenities and check-in options ahead of time—especially when arriving early with baggage.

Ok

The location of the hotel is perfect for any attractions you may want to see. Plenty of food options available in the area. Staff was friendly and the room was clean. The bathroom is not ideal for getting ready. Lighting was poor and no real place to put your toiletries or clothing. Hotel would be fine for shorts visits. The air conditioning worked, but was difficult to use.

Location is great. Room is cosy but uncomfortable.
