NYX Esperia Palace Hotel Athens by Leonardo Hotels

A first class property. Food, amenities, staff, location etc were excellent. Now, the reason I may not choose this property in the future. Loud music till midnight for both nights we were there. You know the kind with the "techno" beat and continuous noise. To be clear, this was outside of hotel property and most likely NYX really had little control - regardless it was there and no matter who was responsible, it was disturbing to say the least. Again, great hotel and convenient to shopping and downtown Athens - unfortunately there is a "but" for us.

Great location and awesome staff. Highly recommend.

Wouldn't let me extend even though they had avaiality at the time. Lame. Location is in a big crime area

Excellent stay. They took the 5-star experience, kept the attention to detail and comfort-first approach, but removed the stuffy pretention and gaudy gilded vaneer and replaced them with a very self-aware hipster kitsch. The staff was incredible, always a step ahead. Anything I asked for, they had an even better solution for me. It seemed like the number one rule was to let *them* worry about your problems so that you don't have to, and it absolutely works. The restaurant and bar have an excellent view of the Acropolis (and a lot of the rest the city). The breakfast buffet is excellent, whether you're just trying to grab some quick eggs and toast to go beat the crowds or make a whole ritual of it with cured meats, fresh feta, honey straight off of the comb, all sorts of Greek cheese pies, spinach pies, roasted vegetables, cold salads, spreads, etc. If you aren't into taxis or public transport, no worries! The hotel is ~20 minutes from the Agora beneath the Acropolis, and minutes away from dozens of restaurants, bars, and shops (or no minutes, if you just want a cocktail up on the top floor). Very friendly, very attentive staff, great room, excellent breakfasts, and a lot I never even got around to taking advantage of, like the spa or pools. And there's always some banger playing over the speakers, whether it's the in the lobby, the elevators, or the restaurant. Would definitely stay again!
