The Residence Christokopidou Hotel & Spa

Amazing spot, nice facilities, friendly staff. Didn't use the pool or steam room (reservation required, for pay), but enjoyed a comfortable room ideally situated to explore Athens.

This hotel did not have the amenities that were presented on their website. No working hot tub, only rooftop restaurant for breakfast only (till1030). You could only use the pool for 1 hour with a reservation, then you had to pay! The service was very good but overall I would not call it a hotel/spa. Too many surprises!

Great hotel in good location. Only downside was that there was no service at the roof top bar and that is not stated in the description of the hotel on the hotels.com.

Ants in room. Reported 3 times, there were more each of the 4 days there. Everything else was ok except the roof bar is no longer operational.

We upgraded our room before we arrived and the room we had was beautiful with a large balcony and views of the Acropolis. The pool is fantastic and we booked our private hour every day of our stay. The included breakfast in the cafe across the street was very good offering a good range of brunch options including several which suited my dairy intolerance. There were around 7 or 8 good choices on the included menu and you could pay extra for additional options, which were also very good. The hotel is in a fantastic location in a lively area with lots of bars and restaurants and around 15 minutes walk from the Acropolis and Agora. The hotel was generally very quiet at night, with church bells on Sunday morning. We loved it and would go back!

Rooms were nice inside and modern. Pool was out of order. Pickup at airport was supposed to be arranged but they did not show and no one is at front desk past 10 to help. When they clean your room, they will shut off the ac every time so it is very hot when you come back to your room after the day. Ground floor rooms also faced an alley which people were standing outside of and could see into our room.

Description was totally misleading! Pool had to be booked and only for 1 hour per day. Not as advertised. Room was not clean, couch had blanket over it to hide the disgrace. Balcony was not clean, lights bulbs burnt out, balcony loungers and chair cushions were ripped and dirty. Service was very limited, only during the day and ending at 4 pm. Ice and other basics that you would normally expect for a top end hotel were not available. Advertised was a rooftop bar with hottub. However it was closed the entire 5 days we were there. Found out after we arrived that it was seasonal only. Again false advertising. Could see the Acropolis from balcony as shown in hotel promotional pics but view was mostly of a graffiti parking lot and other view obstructing buildings. Somewhat of a view, but really for an advertised ‘beautiful luxury suite’ that we paid 650.00 Canadian for, it was severely overpriced for what was received. This was suppose to be our romantic spot!!😢💔 but it was quite a disappointment. The finale: booked a car through the hotel which they assured us would arrive despite a taxi strike. It didn’t show. Had to lug all our luggage to the metro in order to make our ferry connection.

Hotel was in a great location! Overall, the room was fine. We did not have a view at all. And to use the indoor pool you have to make a reservation, which I thought was silly. You also have to pay to use the sauna. Other than that, nice stay!

Bad area, for souna and pool you have to pay more

The area around it is amazing. They don’t have facilities for food but picky cafe was wonderful and worth more than one visit The property however lacked functional shower- couldn’t turn the dial properly to have overhead shower work- even if you did- the glass wall is not big enough and floor floods Our room was next to alley way with people smoking The pool area is so small -it’s only for 2 hence you need to book The massage we cancelled as they don’t have a separate business inside The coffee machine wasn’t easy to use The safe was broken so they replaced it - just carried another one in Big disappointment was the TV- it’s meant to be smart TV but it’s not The original remote is lost so we had to use a generic one Thus IS NOT 4 STAR- also the only step to go into the hotel is very high and unsuitable for people with muscle weakness or going up stairs

La tina para bañarse es incomoda. No hicieron limpieza el ultimo dia. Me enviaron mal el código para entrar a mí habitación

Spotless room

I wanted to love this place based on the money we spent on it, but regretted only paying for an economy room. We had the room right beside the lobby, and it was very noisy. We could hear people talking and coming in and out of the hotel while we were trying to sleep. Also, when we checked in there was no clean towels in our room and there was a housekeeper's rag left near the bed.. the shower was beautiful but no matter what we did (change shower head to manual, lowered the water pressure, or angle the water to the wall etc..) the water would spill all over the floor and make a mess every time we showered and made the floor a slipping hazard. We thought the indoor pool was a nice touch to the property, but when we got there it was unclean. Overall, it was a nice looking hotel but didn't function quite how we're used to in North America. Location was great though!

Very clean and comfortable room. Would stay here again

Really easy and contactless. Up to date beds, TV's, furniture, clean bathrooms. Recommend!!

Staff was extremely friendly and helpful! Rooms were spotless and the air conditioning was fabulous!

Breakfast needs to be explained before taking the option. Coffee only available, tea you have to pay extra. We have to paid one day again because the staff was not on time to give us the vouchers. Otherwise the food was good. Bed is confortable. Internet access perfect. You can ask for transportation at the desk( open 8am to 4 pm). One hour pool free of charge per day. We had ants in the bathroom and ask two time to be fix. I fixed it myself. Otherwise the staff is nice, well situated, safe …

The hotel is clean and well maintained.

Great location and fabulous cafes and restaurants on doorstep. Walkable to major sites. Rooms very small but this is common around this area. Staff welcoming and friendly

The room i had was right in the lobby and u can hear everything and i couldn't sleep at all

Great location. Unfortunately we had very loud guests waking us up at all hours. (Not the hotels fault). The bathroom was sub par. Had to bend over and hold a hose for a shower in a superior room - wouldn’t book again.

Hotel was quaint. Rooms a bit small and I booked the superior room. The AC was not controlled. Area was good location. Far enough from the main square but very walkable

The room was really clean, but no shower in our room, just a bath tub which was challenging. The bidet was no there so an issue when you can’t flush toilet paper. The room itself was excellent though, comfy bed but noisy on a Friday night from party goers outside hotel.

When they clean your room, they will shut off the ac every time so it is very hot when you come back to your room after the day. Ground floor rooms also faced an alley which people were standing outside of and could see into our room.

Just want to preface that the service provided by the staff was excellent. However, we had multiple AC issues, a room at the front door (which was not made obvious when making the reservation), this contributed to a lot of noise throughout the day, and the night. All else great.

Our room (room 04) was located right next to the reception and main entrance (literally 3 feet from the door) so you could hear everyone coming and going and every conversation in the reception, including the staff from the spa who would sit on a sofa a few feet away from our room door and chat; so not great in that respect. Next, the AC is controlled remotely by management. This is not explained but rather when you arrive the room is hot inside and the control panel for the AC displays the message "HL" which after googling means hardware lock. Upon asking the reception, they explained they would "come and take a look". Next, it is miraculously working but went off again less than an hour later so we had to ask again. From reading other reviews, this seems to be a tactic they use to save electricity. Not great. Our last negative was that the fridge light started flicking during the first night, lighting up the room like a strobe light. From reading other reviews this isn't the first time this has happened. The receptionist said that she would get a technician to look at it but ultimately it was not fixed throughout the remaining two days of our stay. Positives: the hotel is ideally located. Close to the city center and surprisingly not too noisy despite being near to several loud restaurants. The hotel staff were friendly despite comms being poor with regards to the AC controls and getting the fridge fixed. The room itself was fairly small but modern and comfortable.

The hotel was perfectly located. The room was a little small luckily for us we had a great balcony,. I would suggest perfect for only overnight visits anything longer than overnights would be a bit claustrophobic. The front desk staff was very pleasant and helpful.

I was a solo traveler. And I stayed in a standard double room. My room was right next to the reception on the ground floor. Noises in early morning were unavoidable, and that was a bit disappointing. This was my first time using a digital key for both hotel access and room entry. The setup process was straightforward, and using it was relatively easy. The hotel staff were exceptionally helpful—they reached out well before check-in with clear instructions on how to access and use the e-key. One standout feature was the laundry service, which was not offered at the other hotels I stayed at during this trip. It was completed the same day and cost €16 (cash only), which I found convenient and reasonably priced. The only area for improvement was housekeeping. There was no service during my first night/day, which wasn’t a major issue as I tend to keep the room tidy. However, it would have been appreciated if essentials like toilet tissue had been replenished and the bathroom had been dried or refreshed. The shower head in my bathroom was very powerful - with no shower curtain nor door in the walk-in shower, it was unavoidable to flood the bathroom.

The property and staff were wonderful. The room was clean, extremely comfortable and charming. Eleutheria and Roxanne were so helpful and kind. I highly recommend this property.

My husband and I stayed at The Residence upon our arrival to Athens. I was surprised to see reception hours are only 8a-4p, so we never interacted with the staff. I do really like the keyless lobby & room entry system they have which made it not a problem to arrive after reception closes. They sent me a WhatsApp message with the key code which worked great. The room itself was very clean and comfortable. Have no complaints there. I took off a star because we had a ground floor room and our window opened right up to an alleyway where people walked and parked their motorbikes. We kept the curtains closed the whole time. Additionally, it was very loud whenever other guests would enter the hotel as they had to walk right by our room. We were routinely woken up throughout the night by voices. We could also hear voices outside in the alleyway as well. So while the room is as advertised and very nicely decorated (and clean), the noise & disruptions, and limited reception hours were negatives of our stay. Location, however, was perfect

Most properties are fine with me but I think this one was over rated on Expedia. The location is good and you can walk to many places from there. The staff is nice. But three things bothered me: There are ants both dead and alive in the room. Surprising considering it’s nearly new. The “rooftop bar” and “swimming pool” don’t really exist. Finally, the front desk is unstaffed at night and when we needed them at their 7AM opening time - no one was there. I think they arrived late, maybe 7:15, bur it added some stress to our tight schedule.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Room was clean and area was walkable

Requested 2 times for the thermostat in my room to be adjusted as it was freezing in the room. Nothing was done our entire stay.

My husband and I had a lovely 2 night stay here. It was clean, safe with dining and transport options galore. The staff were very personable,very avcommodating with all our requets.

The hotel is clean and well maintained.

The staff were amazing and lovely and super helpful. They also have a WhatsApp function where you ask questions and arrange for airport/cruise terminal transfers. The hotel was well decorated and clean. What a great start to our Athens trip!

Modern small boutique hotel in a cool upcoming area ‘Psiri’ near Plaka. During the summer there is salsa dancing in the streets just around the corner. Hotel is clean, stylish and well located. Staff is helpful. Enjoyed my stay.

Brilliant hotel and very better staff. It’s on a busy street right in the city so everything is seconds away. The Acropolis is a few minutes walk from the hotel too. Highly recommended.

Booked this hotel for a one night stay before heading back home and it was in the perfect location! Having already seen Athens this is very close to several tourist attractions which you can easily walk to and explore. Will definitely try to stay here again!

Fantastic staff - perfect location - peaceful despite being in a busy cafe-life district

We upgraded our room before we arrived and the room we had was beautiful with a large balcony and views of the Acropolis. The pool is fantastic and we booked our private hour every day of our stay.

The hotel was generally very quiet at night, with church bells on Sunday morning. We loved it and would go back!

The property was in an easy walking distance to everything you want .... shopping, dining, the Acropolis and other historical sites. The location really felt unbeatable.

Then location is great and it’s surprisingly quite considering it’s just a walk away from everything in the monastraki area. The staff is nice too.

Perfectly located to reach tourist attractions. Plenty of shops, restaurants and flea market by 5 min walk. Parthenon is a short 20 min walk. Small structure but clean and modern. Good staff.

Lovely hotel, in a perfect location. Very central all the tourist sites within easy walking distance.

Fantastic location

Virginia and Christina at the front reception were excellent, very helpful. Nothing was too much for them.Christina even packed us breakfast as we had to catch early morning flight. On the downside breakfast was same daily and repetitive with not much choice. The lights from room on the floor above if left on at night are very disturbing if you like complete darkness to sleep. I could not sleep for 2 nights due to this. This isssue was not addressed despite informing front desk.

Overall positive experience. They supplied a bouquet of flowers and champagne for our honeymoon and tons of great dining/bar/transit options in the area. There are some very strong points here but definitely wasn't perfect. Staff were friendly but not remarkably so. The breakfast is a good deal at €10 per person but don't expect top tier dining. We stayed on the second floor and there were tons of ants in the room near the door and it can get a bit noisy outside on weekends since it's in a party neighbourhood. Surprisingly, the noise outside barely impacted our sleep. The pool was really foamy which, as a pool owner, this is generally not ideal (unless done intentionally?) Also, starting around 07:30 all the churches in the area start ringing bells and singing on loud speakers non-stop. It sounds like a lot of negatives but we did generally enjoy outselves. Definitely a hit if you're in Athens to party as the location can't be beat.

Mooi modern ingericht hotel. Ligging midden in het uitgaansgebied (restaurants, bars), en toch geen geluidsoverlast. Heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Helaas wat weinig bergruimte in de kamer, maar voor een stedentrip van 5 dagen goed te doen. Top waren de stopcontacten incl. USB-aansluitingen. De badkamer was erg mooi, maar nog wat extra haakjes voor kleding en handdoeken was prettig geweest. De rooftopbar, waar het ontbijt werd geserveerd, heeft uitzicht op de Akropolis, super. Aanrader dit hotel!

O hotel é bonito, limpo, confortável e tem uma boa localização. Os aspectos que precisam melhorar são a recepção e o café da manhã. O café da manhã tem um cardápio restrito, e é servido em um restaurante bem próximo do hotel, o que não é a melhor experiência, principalmente para quem tem restrição de horário.

Great location. And a great price. On a bit of a quiet street. Only negative is that there was no food and beverage at the hotel. It had a beautiful rooftop and would have been amazing to have drinks up there. But overall, great location.

El desayuno me encantó y la vista esta padrisima, todo limpio cerca de muchos restaurantes, las personas muy amables en todo momento.

Great hotel! In the middle of everything! Dora, the breakfast host was incredibly friendly and helpful as were the rest of the staff. No complaints at all, all positives!!

Lovely little boutique hotel in a great neighbourhood. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast arriving in picnic basket to the room is a nice touch. I travel to Athens semi-regularly for work and would happily stay again.
