What guests think

A for Athens draws praise for its unbeatable Monastiraki Square location, sweeping Acropolis views from many rooms and the rooftop, and consistently warm, helpful staff, though the lively setting and late-night music can mean noticeable noise.

Rooms are generally modern and comfortable, with several noted as spacious and some bathrooms reported small. Breakfast and the rooftop bar/restaurant receive strong reviews for quality and iconic views, with occasional comments about high prices or average items. The small elevator and periodic renovations (including breakfast served at a sister property) are mentioned by a few guests. Expect a vibrant, central base with memorable views and attentive service.

The hotel is going under Reservations so the lobby area was kind of a mess of stacked boxes and construction materials. The entry of the side street is very understated. Almost missed. But I will tell you that I had a room with a balcony that looked straight at the Acropolis and it was spectacular.

Overall the hotel is very nice. Some of the rooms and their rooftop restaurant have an amazing view of the Acropolis. However it is very noisy and what we didn’t know is the restaurant plays very loud music all evening and into the early morning. When you have an early flight it doesn’t allow for much sleep time.

Overall, we loved it and would stay again.

Location of this hotel is amazing. We were given a front suite that had an amazing view of the Acropolis. However, with this hotel comes a lot of noise, as it is in a very crowded area with many locals and tourists enjoying themselves at all hours. The roof top bar and restaurant are very nice and have amazing views for the sunset and any time viewing!

It was such a great location . The rooms were clean and the view we had from our windows of the Parthenon were breath taking. Everything seemed extremely well kept and a remodel was still taking place of the kitchen . We did have to go across the street to have breakfast but it wasn’t that inconvenient. The only complaint was the elevator was so small that basically only 1 person or 2 could fit. Again it was centrally located and was so close to the acropolis, plaka and right outside was the hop on hop off bus

Bons points : Excellente situation, Superbe vue sur l’acropole depuis notre chambre, Personnel sympathique mais peu ou pas impliqué. Petit déjeuner correct mais si vous souhaitez une 2ème tasse de café c’est payant 👎 ! …un comble ! Quel manque d’élégance (pas vraiment commercial !) Mauvais points : Très mauvaise isolation phonique intérieure et extérieure et donc très bruyant (boules Quies fortement conseillées) Très mauvaise literie (maux de dos au réveil 😩 ! Propreté très moyenne (l’aspirateur n’a pas dû être passé sous le lit depuis plusieurs semaines au vu de la couche de poussière !)

This place was pretty amazing. The staff is super friendly and can arrange anything you’d like, from taxi’s to tours. The place was clean, the AC worked, the view was amazing, the breakfast was 5 stars. The breakfast alone was worth the price. Plus the location was central to everything, amazing food all around you, bars, flea market, whatever you wanted. Recommend this place if you’re looking to stay in Athena for any amount of time. Please be sure to get the breakfast.

All the Hop on/Hop off tours had a stop right there. And a 15 minute walk to the Acropolis main entrance. Only criticism, the fire/smoke alarms had a very bright flashing light on them that was directly over the bed, very distracting to sleep with.

Our room was surprisingly spacious and quiet for being right in the middle of busy Athens. I slept well. The super highlight is the bar / breakfast area on the top floor where your door looking over the square and right to the Acropolis. Breathtaking. The main things to see are all walkable, and a metro stop is right there for getting to other parts of the city, including the port and airport.

Our trip had started almost 24 hours before we checked in. The hotel had the room ready long before their official check in time and allowed us to check in as soon as we arrived (exhausted with no sleep in 24 hrs). Also, the morning of the check out, we had a very early departure, before their breakfast schedule, they were so kind that prepared a couple of (breakfast) boxes for us to take; that was on their own initiative. They reply to our emails quick. Personal very good. The view from the roof top terrace to the Acropolis is excellent.

Upon arrival we were treated with friendly and quick staff. Our room was very spacious and clean. We had 3 water bottles in room waiting for us. Breakfast had good variety and was delicious. Croissants, sausages, veggies, eggs, and more. The area itself is right across the metro. A few stores, coffee shops and lots of souvenir shops. When we were checking out, we had to leave quite earlier to catch a train and the hotel had prepared breakfast to go bags for us. That was so thoughtful! Would love to stay here longer. Also there are 2 pharmacies literally around the corner which was great because we needed some forgotten stuff from home. Really recommended staying here. Oh and they're rooftop bar where you have your breakfast is upstairs where it over looks the city and Acropolis!! Breathtaking view!

We booked a quadruple and with the renovation, we were moved to their sister hotel which was just next door, and we were escorted over to check in. We arrived in the morning and we were already allowed to checkin which is a great convenience, letting us rest and change before going around. The hotel is by the square with flea market. The Acropolis and museum are walking distance. We had fun going around the flea market, seeing some of the ruins around Acropolis, and had a lot of dining options.

The location is excellent, just next to the metro station and right in the middle of a very lively area. However the entrance is very small and at first I was not even sure if it was a hotel. There were a lot of people going in and out because of the rooftop bar upstairs so I did feel a bit concerned about security. Solo female travellers might want to be extra cautious. The room was spacious and comfortable. I saw online reviews mentioning noise at night since the area is busy but I did not hear anything during my stay. One of the best surprises was that the shampoo and shower gel were from Korres. If there had been conditioner too it would have been perfect. Breakfast is served at another hotel which makes the process a bit complicated. You have to cross the street and walk up a set of stairs to find the restaurant. That said the view of the Acropolis from the breakfast area is a nice bonus. The food itself was average and nothing very special. I expected more local Greek dishes but there were not many. Even the olive oil only had one option. The taste was fine and it was enough to keep me full. What really stood out was the staff. I made a mistake when booking and was quite stressed about it. Rozauia from the front desk helped sort everything out and I am truly grateful for her support. She really saved me.

Great property in the center of the action with great views of the Parthenon. In fact, we walked from the Acropolis down to the hotel in a little over 30 minutes. Syntagma Square is less than a 15 minute walk. Being across the street from Monastiraki Square, it is a busy and loud area - but in a good way if you like the urban vibe. If you want low-key, quiet and relaxing, this is not the area for you. Lots of restaurants all around, metro station just steps away, flea market, shops and stores all right there. Hop-on/off bus across the street. Restaurant/bar on upper floors offers incredible views. Nice breakfast served up there if you stay at hotel. Staff is super-helpful (thank you Alex for all your tips). Great place for a couple days immersed in the beating heart of the city. We visited in mid/late April and enjoyed it immensely.

Excellent location! Right off the Monastiraki Station (Metro Subway Blue line 3 from the airport) Walking distance to shopping, dining, and sight-seeing locations. I highly recommend the A for Athens Hotel to anyone staying in Athens. The staff will help you when you want to go somewhere. They provide taxi service if needed. The only problem I had was the very small lift (aka elevator), which I have often experience in many places in Europe: only two people at a time, three if they are all thin enough to fit.

The hotel is in a decent location near the ancient Agora, but it shows its age badly. Our room was just basic and the immediate area was dumpy with cracked and sloping narrow sidewalks which my wife and I almost fell down on several times. The hallway outside our room stank. The restaurant service was nonexistent. Our hostess and server never responded to our requests for a meal and we eventually just left. It seemed as if we did not even exist. The best thing and only great thing about this place was the front desk staff, who were extremely helpful and friendly. They were great!
