What guests think

Across recent reviews, Ava Hotel and Suites is praised for its unbeatable Plaka location near the Acropolis, spacious suite-style rooms with kitchenettes and occasional balconies, consistently warm, helpful service, strong cleanliness standards, and a well-liked breakfast.

A few guests mention issues like a very warm room, receiving the wrong room type, or beds and views not meeting expectations.

Very cool boutique hotel near the Plaka neighborhood in Athens. Our suite was beautiful and well equipped with a small kitchen and an attractive patio. The included breakfast buffet was excellent. Finally, the front desk staff was friendly and helpful throughout our short 2 night stay. Highly recommended.

Great location for shopping, visit to Parthenon, restaurants. Boutique hotel with large rooms, beautiful bathrooms, excellent breakfast. Does not have large common areas or views from rooms, nor significant amenities; food is apparently limited to breakfast. AC system is excellent. Definitely would recommend for those not looking for large hotel with loads of amenities.

The AVA Hotel & Suites is perfectly located in the Plaka neighborhood, within easy walking distance to many historical sites as well as excellent dining option. That staff were all very pleasant and helpful with arranging transportation, recommending restaurants, making reservations, etc. The rooms are well appointed, including bath robes and slippers and an equipped kitchenette. The bed and linens are very comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel.

Perfect location in center of Plaka between Acropolis, Parthenon and the national garden. Great AC in hotel was welcome in very hot weather. Very nice room had small suite with kitchen, refrigerator. We had the room on first floor which was amazing because it had a private outdoor patio garden off the back of the room. Easy walk to the pedestrian streets for shopping, street cafes, access to metro and Acropolis. Would stay here again. Recommending to friends.

A wonderful apartment type suite. Full kitchen. Extremely close to all of the important sites. When I love most was the staff and their positive attitude and their intense desire to make you happy and make sure that every need was met. Greeting you initially upon entry, remembering your name, recognizing you. You just felt safe because they knew who was coming and going.

I spent a quick two nights at this property after a long week of island hopping. This was the perfect location for a couple of nights to get to know Athens before flying back home. I stayed in the executive suite which was a slight upgrade from the standard suite and I was very comfortable in a one bedroom large enough for us to sort our luggage before our long flight back home. It’s located in the beautiful Plaka neighborhood. From our balcony we could see parts of the Acropolis and also the Arch on each side. It’s close to many shops and tabernas galore every which way that you turn. You can also find several take away street food places a block away where you can find terrific gyro and falafel sandwiches plus beverages for less than $6 a person. The hotel staff themselves were very cordial and helped with arranging taxi transportation and a last minute rooftop restaurant reservation. They don’t seem to have a large staff but what would be expected for a hotel in this price range. It’s very affordable for what you get in return. The room had a kitchenette, good coffee maker and also very comfortable bed linens, King size bed and lots of storage space. The A/C worked well during a heat wave and the two showers were great. I did not have breakfast as it was a little pricey and I prefer to venture out and find nearby cafes whenever possible and this property is perfectly situated to find plenty of options. It was a very nice stay.

We did a two week Mediterranean cruise and then several days in Paris. Our cruise disembarked in Athens so we spent two days there. Our only regret was not spending more days at this hotel rather than Paris! The executive room was huge and luxurious! The staff were so helpful and the location at the foot of the Acropolis around tons of restaurants and shopping on small streets. It was the best part of the vacation!

Great place to stay 5 min to the acropolis and shopping and dinner . They were so helpful on our stay because we had to switch hotels on our last evening due to road closures due to a big biking event. And they were quick to help us find other options. They got us a room at their sister hotel out of the affected area. Also arranged transportation to the new hotel. They went out of there to help us. It saved a lot of stress before our cruise. Would highly recommend this hotel.
