Alva Athens Hotel

What guests think

At Alva Athens Hotel, guests consistently praise spotless rooms, modern design, and warm, helpful staff, while valuing the central, walkable location near major sights; recurring downsides include street noise in road-facing rooms and mixed impressions of the surrounding area.

Several note bathroom layouts that allow water to spill onto floors and occasional fit-and-finish flaws, while room size ranges from tight to spacious. Drivers appreciated parking next to the hotel, and on-site amenities are seldom mentioned. Best for travelers seeking a simple, stylish base over full-service amenities.

Staff was very good and very helpful… I didn’t like that hotel door cannot be opened even when using the card at all time…. I had to use the ring and wait till staff open the door from the inside … this gave the feeling the area is unsafe -note: I don’t have any issue walking in the area by myself even at late evening hours -.

The hotel was fine, but is typical of many Athens hotels that have been converted cheaply and quickly. The lift was an old fashioned cage lift, while certain fittings in the room were cheap or poorly done (e.g. the bedroom door scraped against the floor and didn’t open fully). The bed was comfy enough, the shower had good water pressure and immediately got to a high temperature, and the staff were always really helpful. Ultimately, it worked for us for a single night, but it didn’t have a holiday feel, and depends on if you pay over €100.

The property is modern and the beds are comfortable, but it’s extremely noisy if your room faces the busy main road bring earplugs. The area feels a bit sketchy and dirty, especially when walking to Plaka or major sites, though it is well lit at night. A major issue: I saw the front desk turn off the lights on guests still eating breakfast at 10:25 AM, telling them it ends at 10:30. Instead of just stopping food service, he argued with them and only turned the lights back on after complaints. Very poor treatment. Overall, I recommend staying closer to the Acropolis for similar prices, you’ll find cleaner, safer areas and a better experience.
