Athenswas Hotel

"AthensWas Design Hotel is a great choice for a stay in Athens. Its biggest asset is the fantastic location — right in the heart of the historic Plaka district, just a stone's throw from the Acropolis, so everything is within easy walking distance. The absolute highlight was breakfast served at the rooftop restaurant — the food was delicious and varied, and enjoying your morning coffee with a view of the Acropolis is simply unforgettable. The hotel staff deserves special praise: wonderful, friendly, and always happy to help. The rooms are on the cozier side and decorated in darker tones, which may not be to everyone's taste, but they are comfortable and well-appointed. Overall, we had a really enjoyable stay and would gladly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Athens."

"We only stayed one night and it was our first night upon arrival. You have to carry your bags up a small flight of stairs to reach the very tiny elevator. We booked a standard room with breakfast. Check in process was smooth and the room met all expectations. Breakfast was better than expected, appreciated that it was not buffet-style. Location can't be beat - appreciated having many attractions and restaurants nearby. You have to be creative when booking car transportation to/from hotel as there is no direct street access, but worth it to be in such a walkable area."

"We travelled as a family with 2 young kids, 4 and 7, and booked the executive suite. We chose this hotel mainly because it was close to the Acropolis. It was a 5 min walk to the entrance of the acropolis and about a 15 min walk to Syntagma square. The hotel was very well maintained, clean, and our room was more than enough space for 4 people. They converted the sofa into a bed, and there was second bathroom, which was great for our kids as the sink was lower. The only downside was a set of stairs, maybe 5 steps, from the lobby level to the elevator. but the staff helped with the luggage and stroller"
