The hotel was lovely and the staff were really nice and friendly. The hotel was in the perfect place for my needs, with quick connection to the airport train and plenty of restaurants or shops around the area. It feels a shame to deduct a star for this, but the light switches in the room were a triumph of form over function, it was extremely difficult to work out what they did as they all rotate through several positions, without any labelling or marks. I sometimes just used my phone torch instead! Also the teabags in the room were very unusual flavours which could happily be replaced with more regular green or black teas. So bring your own teabags and a torch and you'll love it!

breakfast variety is not huge, but service and quality are great ! we really enjoyed breakfast. The service overall was great. Location is not in the center, but very close to public transportation. The main issue was that the room was very small, and it had a window to a wall). Since we stayed for 1 night it did not bother us, but make sure you have a balcony room (MUST)

mazing breakfast buffet.

Location staff breakfast and rooftop bar all excellent.

Great hotel, breakfast was great. Staff friendly and helpful.

Excellent and friendly service.

There are many excellent things about the Modernist Athens: design (clean-cut black and white), transport and location (walkable to the major sites/museums and also two minutes from a Metro stop and bus lines that can take you straight into the centre and to the airport), great breakfast (both cooked options and good buffet variety), rooftop bar (with a view of the Acropolis), and free daily wine tastings and Pilates/yoga sessions. But the best thing: the staff. Welcoming, gracious, good humoured and attentive without overdoing it. Perfect.

What a wonderful stay I had at The Modernist Hotel, it’s super stylish, really well located and easy to get to all the major sights, an amazing and very friendly young staff, from reception, the cafe and the bar, the cleaning staff, and crowning it all a fantastic roof top bar where you can drink looking at wonderful views of Athens. I’m definitely coming back there again next year.

Friendly staff. Great location walkable to nice bars and restaurants. Good breakfast. Nice rooftop. Unfortunately, the bathroom is not practical. Water goes everywhere when you are having a shower because there is no tray, door or curtain. Window in the room was not accessible because it was above the bed frame.

No tissue box and no room for suitcases in room Otherwise we would rate it 5 stars Front desk staff gave great recommendation for restaurant and help with things in the area.

Lovely, well kept modern hotel in a lovely residential neighborhood. Some sights are walking distance and a Metro stop is right nearby. The thermostat control is obtuse—didn’t seem to work the same way two days in a row. Front desk can set it remotely. Breakfasts are substantial.

Nice part of Athens to walk around in. The breakfast was good and had a large variety of choices. We enjoyed our stay.

Excellent boutique hotel. I’ll be staying here again.

Terrific, inventive, fun place, great roof terrace with DJ, very nice room, absolutely delightful staff and a great breakfast. Had been staying at an upmarket boutique hotel. Our flight home was cancelled after three hours on the tarmac and we scrambled to find a hotel for the night. Thrilled that we stumbled on the Modernist. Would definitely stay again. A great experience and a great value.

Lovely hotel , nice boutique feel , breakfast was excellent and made to order eggs was a treat Room was modern and shower was strong pressure and plenty of hot water Roof top for sun downer drinks was very nice

Quiet and understated

What an absolute gem this hotel is. Honestly one of our favourite places we’ve stayed for a city break. The staff are exceptional. So friendly and helpful and just lovely. Every single one of them. From reception, wait team, cleaners - they couldn’t have been nicer. The breakfast is delicious - we tried basically everything and it was all so good. We had a family room as we have 3 kids and it was great - enough room for us all, lovely balcony, looked modern and stylish. There are great restaurants all around, we walked to the lovely botanic gardens and monument for fallen soldiers and quick taxi to acropolis. Genuinely this is an absolute treasure of a hotel and we would definitely come back if we return to Athens.

The first thing you notice is how genuinely friendly the staff was and how helpful with recommendations. An extra shout out to Christina and Michael. Rooms and bathrooms were large and in excellent condition

Everything about this hotel was exceptional - but my favorite part was the amazing breakfast options. The staff were fantastic, the rooms were incredible. Many places within walking distance. Great roof top views!

We were only there for a night but everyone was super friendly and helpful. I liked the area as well. Hotel has everything you would need.
