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.

Having worked with a global luxury hotelier, I tend to put a different lens on hotel reviews. The Modernist Hotel, Athens, is modern, fresh, and comes with some of the best staff I’ve ever experienced. Service is paramount to them and they genuinely want you to enjoy your stay. Their breakfast selection is amazing. It’s fresh fruit and breads and cereals are some of the best I’ve experienced. Beds are very comfortable, shower is excellent. Loads of hot water. The drawbacks though, could be things that would make you not return. Rooms are very small and they have no drawers or shelving for clothing. They have a few hangers in an open “closet” area and a large drawer underneath. But the drawer is taken up by the safe. Now, to get to the safe, you need to get down on your hands and knees as it’s at floor level. This is ridiculous. Clothes and belongings will be strewn across the room or you’ll be living out of your suitcase. When mentioning this to staff they will each say the same line “it’s part of the hotel concept”. The concept they are displaying is one of “suck it up” and “we don’t care. The bathroom is small and there’s little shelving for your bits and pieces. We had to remove a kettle from a small cupboard to store a few clothes.Same with a radio - we removed it from a ledge to use the ledge for our phone charger. The gym is quite appalling to be frank. It has a wooden treadmill and a wooden bike. The treadmill isn’t the standard flat surface but bowed.

Great hotel two metro stops to the Acropolis & Plaka. Even better breakfast buffet.

Unique hotel, nice part of town, extremely helpful staff.

Quaint boutique, clean, stylish, amazing breakfast, very kind staff- everyone! Special thanks to Ian for all his info on restaurants and assistance booking! Great rooftop view.

Nice clean room. Our bathroom was very big, and the room was very small. could've used some of the room in the bathroom in the living space. best hotel breakfast that i've ever had. great neighborhood, that is away from the tourist craziness.

Amazing accommodations with gym and the best breakfast in Athens! Removed from the center which was nice and impeccable view of the Acropolis!

Lack of privacy and heard neighbors

The breakfast was really good. Very friendly and helpful staff.

It is a little of the city center but I knew what I signed up for and loved it. I stayed at their Thessaloniki location before and that was great too. Breakfast is awesome. Staff is kind and talkative - love that about them. Thanks guys!

The location is a bit far for walking to the Acropolis but if you have time and are able, it’s worth the walk. There are many neighborhoods and shops to explore along the way. Lycabettus Hill viewing area is within walking distance but it’s an uphill climb. Public transportation is close as well as many restaurants. Our room was comfortable, clean, and the breakfast was amazing. Highly recommend this hotel.

Beautiful upscale neighborhood with great restaurants in the vicinity. The breakfast was exceptionally good. The front desk and breakfast staff were friendly and gracious, particularly Ian in front desk . The room cleaning staff did their job well, but would sometimes forget to replace glasses and cups, easy to fix by talking to front desk. The Modernist will be our preferred place to stay on future visits. We cancelled our booking in King George and booked in the Modernist mainly because of great reviews and lower cost - so glad we did it. The Kolonaki area is so much better than Syntagma square.
