What guests think
Across recent feedback, travellers describe Bob W Athens Akadimia as a modern, comfortable stay with easy app-based entry, clean rooms, and handy in-room amenities, highlighting straightforward access and an overall smooth, self-service setup.
Guests like the strong air conditioning, some balconies, and complimentary lobby coffee and water; several mention kitchenettes and coffee makers. Service is often praised for friendliness and responsive remote support, though some report minimal on site help, keyless entry hassles, or occasional oversights. The location is walkable to central sights, bars and cafes, but several describe the surrounding streets as mixed or a bit run-down. Expect a practical, well-equipped base convenient for exploring Athens.

Comfy hotel, close to the center and downtown - easy to navigate, I wish they suggested to open the platform prior arrival so you know how to redeem breakfast, get free yoga classes etc ahead of time! Loved the yoga mat and free reusable water bottles!

Very pleasant stay throughout. Had troubles in entering the building and my room using electric key but was assisted remotely. Once got used to it, much easier without bothering anyone so could use the facility like my real apartment for a short stay. Very clean with all the necessary equipments. Nice surprising gift of a full bottle of white wine along with hand written message card. Highly recommend

The hotel was a great find. The front desk people were super friendly and very helpful. Check in and out was quick. The lobby was a great set up and had free waters and coffee. The rooms were extremely comfortable and up to date. The AC was amazing and the bed was great. Each room has a refrigerator, coffee maker with coffee, and a microwave. To get to some activity on the street you have to walk about 15 minutes, but the hotel and it's staff were amazing.

Very convenient location, outside the main tourist traps but with a vibrant nightlife and options for eating out, cafes and bars, not to mention the bookshops and other shopping options. Very clean rooms, easy contactless access, kitchenette to prepare a light meal and warm drinks. It’s the third time we stay in this hotel in 12 months, it’s our main option for Athens.

Lovely little modern hotel about a 10 minute walk from the centre, with everything you need. Staff were always so friendly and rooms are so clean and modern. There's nice little touches like free bottled water in your room and downstairs, as well as free teas and coffee. They also left us wine in our room. If being super super picky, would say the towels are really small and a little tricky to wrap round. Another little thing was that the curtains didn't seem to be big enough for the room that light still came through in the night. But as I said, only small picky things. Would defo recommend!

Great studio-like rooms, with a lovely and well-thought-after design (the button near the bed shutting down all the lights is a genius idea that more hotels should implement), and really comfortable bedding: truly an unexpectedly great product for the price. The location is strategic with easy by-feet access to most of Athens city centre (do not be scared by the generally less-then-ideal state of the building in surrounding streets). Breakfast is not provided directly by the structure but it is available at a special cost in a nearby café; however, there is complimentary espresso and water available in the lobby plus an espresso-pod machine and a microwave in each room in case one should not want to go out for breakfast. Overall, a really great product.

The property was disappointing and certainly not 'luxury' as the name suggests. The apartment we were allocated wasn't very clean, particularly the bathroom and there was dust everywhere suggesting it's been empty for a while? It had a kitchenette but no table and chairs to sit at. The pictures of the view from the balcony are completely misleading, the view is of buildings across the road about 10 metres away. The pictures of the front of the hotel give the appearance of space and outdoor seating. There is no outdoor seating and you wouldn't want to sit outside the road is quite grotty. The surrounding area wasn't particularly nice, the apartment is about 5-10 minutes walk away from tourist areas, which are far nicer. The best feature of the apartment is the air conditioning which worked really well.

Check-in was easy and the front desk was extremely helpful. We arrived early in the day thanks to flying in from the US overnight, and they had a room waiting for us. This allowed us to drop off our luggage and equilibrate a little before heading out into Athens. The front desk highlighted places we should visit, as well as sending us to a close store to trade out our US sim card for a Greek Cosmote sim card. The room was on the smallish side, but had a wonderful balcony and was completely clean and modernized. The area around the hotel was mixed; some areas seemed safe and clean, others a little dirty and iffy? Again, the front desk was helpful as they directed us which parts of town to visit and which to be wary of. We were able to arrange transportation with their help as well, and it was once again excellent. Overall a very positive experience!

Good stay overall for a 3.5 star hotel. Modern Room with small kitchen and Balcony. Service is however minimal. No phone in the room. No information on Breakfast nor Cleaning schedule during checkin. We had to come down to ask for it. The Air conditioning had issues and needed several visits from a technician to get it fixed. An overall lack of guest attention unfortunately.

Check-in was easy and the front desk was extremely helpful. We arrived early in the day thanks to flying in from the US overnight, and they had a room waiting for us. This allowed us to drop off our luggage and equilibrate a little before heading out into Athens. The front desk highlighted places we should visit, as well as sending us to a close store to trade out our US sim card for a Greek Cosmote sim card. The room was on the smallish side, but had a wonderful balcony and was completely clean and modernized. The area around the hotel was mixed; some areas seemed safe and clean, others a little dirty and iffy? Again, the front desk was helpful as they directed us which parts of town to visit and which to be wary of. We were able to arrange transportation with their help as well, and it was once again excellent. Overall a very positive experience!

Very convenient location, outside the main tourist traps but with a vibrant nightlife and options for eating out, cafes and bars, not to mention the bookshops and other shopping options. Very clean rooms, easy contactless access, kitchenette to prepare a light meal and warm drinks. It’s the third time we stay in this hotel in 12 months, it’s our main option for Athens.

Lovely little modern hotel about a 10 minute walk from the centre, with everything you need. Staff were always so friendly and rooms are so clean and modern. There's nice little touches like free bottled water in your room and downstairs, as well as free teas and coffee. They also left us wine in our room. If being super super picky, would say the towels are really small and a little tricky to wrap round. Another little thing was that the curtains didn't seem to be big enough for the room that light still came through in the night. But as I said, only small picky things. Would defo recommend!

The pictures online are not reflective of the reality. It’s in a really grotty run down part of Athens. There’s no reception and nobody on site to help with anything. The bed is so low down it’s barely a mattress with a tiny thin base. So difficult to get in and especially out of. Not great

Great studio-like rooms, with a lovely and well-thought-after design (the button near the bed shutting down all the lights is a genius idea that more hotels should implement), and really comfortable bedding: truly an unexpectedly great product for the price. The location is strategic with easy by-feet access to most of Athens city centre (do not be scared by the generally less-then-ideal state of the building in surrounding streets). Breakfast is not provided directly by the structure but it is available at a special cost in a nearby café; however, there is complimentary espresso and water available in the lobby plus an espresso-pod machine and a microwave in each room in case one should not want to go out for breakfast. Overall, a really great product.

Comfy hotel, close to the center and downtown - easy to navigate, I wish they suggested to open the platform prior arrival so you know how to redeem breakfast, get free yoga classes etc ahead of time! Loved the yoga mat and free reusable water bottles!

Very pleasant stay throughout. Had troubles in entering the building and my room using electric key but was assisted remotely. Once got used to it, much easier without bothering anyone so could use the facility like my real apartment for a short stay. Very clean with all the necessary equipments. Nice surprising gift of a full bottle of white wine along with hand written message card. Highly recommend

The hotel was a great find. The front desk people were super friendly and very helpful. Check in and out was quick. The lobby was a great set up and had free waters and coffee. The rooms were extremely comfortable and up to date. The AC was amazing and the bed was great. Each room has a refrigerator, coffee maker with coffee, and a microwave. To get to some activity on the street you have to walk about 15 minutes, but the hotel and it's staff were amazing.

I was shocked when checked in to the hotel, as my room was on the ground floor next to the luggage storage and one window facing a wall. After escalating the situation to Hotels.com I got a normal room over that prison room. Beaware when booking, and do not accept that basement prison as your room. Otherwise a clean apartment hotel in the anarchist quarter of Athens. I wouldn't stay there with small kids: police forces with guns in every corner.
