What guests think

At Athenaeum Grand Hotel, travellers frequently praise the friendly, helpful staff and satisfying breakfast, while room size and comfort are often appreciated; however, several reviews note noise from nearby nightclubs and the busy road, especially on weekend nights.

The location is convenient for reaching central sights, but some guests find the immediate area less family-friendly due to strip clubs and late-night activity. Maintenance and facilities feedback is mixed, with recurring mentions of bathroom drainage or odors, occasional worn corridor carpets, small slow elevators, and intermittent air-conditioning control issues. Many enjoyed partial or full Acropolis views, though a few felt view descriptions oversold. Expect good value in a convenient base if you're comfortable with a lively area and occasional maintenance trade-offs.

L’hôtel a du potentiel, mais il manque d’entretien, les tapis des étages sont sales et désuets, notre chambre sentait la cigarette imprégnée dans les matelas et notre frigidaire était défectueux. Le gym fait pitié et manque d’équipement et f’entretient aussi. Cependant le staff est poli et nous a bien servie

L’hôtel est situé à 1 station de métro de l’Acropole, ce qui est un plus. Une marche d’environ 500 mètres vous sera nécessaire pour rejoindre le métro. L’hôtel est situé sur une rue très passante et passablement bruyante. Dans notre chambre, la fenêtre de la salle de bain manquait d’isolation et aurait eu besoin d’un bon nettoyage. Le déjeuner inclus est tout à fait convenable. Les options pour le déjeuner et le dîner sont convenables. On ne devrait pas permettre à l’hôtel d’inscrire qu’elle offre un gym sur place…2 tapis roulants de qualité médiocre et quelques équipements en décrépitude, le tout dans un local sombre et peu ventilé. Peu de restos dans le secteur mais plusieurs bars de spectacles pour hommes…

Όμορφο ξενοδοχείο, πολύ κοντά στο κέντρο της Αθήνας. Καλό πρωινό. Ευγενέστατο προσωπικό. Δωρεάν υπόγειο πάρκιγκ στον χώρο του ξενοδοχείο. Μας έγινε δωρεάν αναβάθμιση δωματίου σε junior σουίτα με θέα στην ακρόπολη.

Hotel confortevole non lontano dal centro città. Stanza e bagno ampi e confortevoli. Garage sotterraneo per l'auto. Colazione a buffet completa e di qualità. Nei dintorni sulla strada di scorrimento trafficata sono presenti locali e nigh club con frequentazioni serali non sempre desiderabili. Buono comunque il livello di comfort.

Location is not far from Plaka and Monatsiraki place, and just 25 minutes from the acropolis entrance. We selected the hotel for the parking facility that they have. and overall, location on the main road is an advantage especially if you are motorized. The hotel amenities and quality are acceptable, good value for money. but the room was with no view at all.

The hotel and the room were very nice, but the carpets in the corridors were very worn. The hotel is located right on the main road so there is a lot of noise from the traffic. We got a room with a balcony, It was lovely to sit there to eat breakfast, sunbathe and read. There was a smell of sewage in the bathroom when someone else in the hotel showered. They try to fix it and it went away for a while but came back again.

We arrived very late at night due to flight delay. Our room was big with a partial view of the acropolis which was nice. Staff were polite and took our bags to our room. We paid extra for breakfast which was OK. Room fridge had a couple of soft drinks and 2 small bottles of water. Water was very expensive at €2 per 0.5L bottle, so we did not have any! Nice large shower but floor outside of the shower was badly stained from water damage. There was no soap for washing. Rather disappointing stay as we thought the description of the hotel sounded much more luxurious!

Beside two strip joint, street was noisy, Mattress was very dirty, they swapped me to a different room, the mattress was still dirty but less dirty than first one. The bathroom of the second room, smelled like sewer, and was very damp. As a result I noticed the bathroom door wouldn’t close and it was due to the fact that water would not drain and rotten the wooden door. This is a 3 star hotel. Staff were decent

Pros: big hotel room Cons: Room issues : we notified the hotel of each of the following to which they did not action - air conditioning was barely working, it was set to 23 and room sat at 28 degrees. There was a sliding window that did not lock and the hotel said they would send maintenance but it was never fixed. Location issues: although it seemed industrial there were out door clubs blaring music till 6 am one of the nights we stayed. There is no sound proofing to the windows so it felt like we were just outside. Additionally - not bad for my partner and I but it was a solid 30-40 min walk to the north plaka area / 25-30 to enter the south plaka area. You also have to cross several busy streets without a cross walk as an fyi. Would not stay here again - unfortunately two not so great nights.

Pros : excellent staff especially Giannis. They arranged a taxi pickup twice and service was top notch. Close to Pireaus harbor where we were to catch a ferry to Naxos the nect morning. so good choice for a night. Price was reasonable. Bed very comforrtable. Cons : You can hear everything from the outside. Especially when a car drives by fast, you think the car is in your room. Located between 2 nightclubs/strip clubs so did not feel so safe at night.

Room contained none of the nice furnishings and stylings shown in the pictures of deluxe rooms online - very misleading but served it’s purpose for one night

Hotel reception and foyer are amazing. Staff super friendly and helpful. Executive room with balcony was great but no view of Acropolis as room faced very busy and noisy main road. To be honest the noise didnt put us off as after a full days sightseeing we would have slept through anything. Wee things to highlight. Door handle to balcony was held on with sellotape and tiles on balcony were broken. In saying that, the hotel was superb value and room and bathroom were in luxury category. Breakfast was amazing. If staying here get the red bus 2 zone ticket as walk up to main centre can be a killer in the heat. We would definitely stay again. Also note, hotel wedged between 2 gentleman's club. Didnt cause an issue but best to be aware.

This hotel was subpar at most. The breakfast has a large selection but the quality is inferior. Most of the staff are very nice and helpful. I think they are trying to make up for what the hotel and area lacks. It is not the best area, in that it has two strip clubs sandwiching the hotel. Not great for families. There are people lingering around day and night outside the hotel. It’s fairly close to most things so that is convenient, but otherwise, I would not choose this as a family option.

Great hotel, but it’s right on a major highway with night clubs and shady joints next door. Great staff, great service, rooms were clean and comfortable, just the area was a bit concerning. We did not have any incidents and nor we felt unsafe at any point. But was the only downside of this otherwise great hotel.
