A multi-story hotel with balconies, large windows, and a view of the Acropolis in the background.

Noctilia Athens

Athens City Centre

10/10 Excellent

A lovely hotel right in the heart of Athens. Our junior suite had plenty of room for me, my partner and our son. We really liked the clean decor and easy location, and the beds were very comfortable. The hotel felt quieter than others nearby as it was on a side street, but it was very easy to walk to all the major sites. Nearby were many bars and restaurants that we enjoyed trying out. Overall a great experience. We must also mention the lovely receptionist who nearly adopted the very cute...

A room with a view of a historic building, two armchairs, a small table with a candle, and a cabinet with bottles.

ACROPOLIS CITY LIFE BH

Athens City Centre

10/10 Excellent

We spent 4 nights in this small, lovely hotel. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The rooms are a good size and well appointed. The shower worked really well and so did the air conditioning. Breakfast is self-service with a reasonable choice. A bonus was that any time during the day you can help yourself to bottles of water, orange juice, milk etc. and the coffee machine in the breakfast room with take-a-way beakers (or china cups) is also available all day. The location is brilliant...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at A77 suits! The location was perfect, in the historical heart of Plaka. The staff at breakfast as well as at reception were extremely kind and friendly and offered us some very useful recommendations! The rooms were pristinely cleaned and were freshly decorated, making us feel cozy and right at home! The food was delicious and we thoroughly appreciated the little extras (herbal tea, bath herbs) with the history made our stay even better! Overall, the wonderful...

I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience here was. My adult son has restricted mobility and the staff were so helpful. From reserving a parking spot in front which is not usually possible to helping us in and out of the hotel every time. Nothing was too much trouble. The location is great for all the central sites via a pedestrian walkway to the Acropolis etc. 20 minute walk with wheelchair. Our room with a view over the Temple of Zeus was lovely. Restaurant views of the Acropolis...

The Hotel staff could'nt be more helpful and everything from dining out options to all the major attractions were less than half an hour walk away Metro stops were close by for those wishing to go exploring a bit further or with limited mobility (Mind the paving though as a bit hit or miss and the scooters are everywhere but not too bad Only gripe with the hotel was that there is an on site restaurant that serves wine and champagne but no bar for cocktails or evening drinks the amazing rooftop...

Nothing but good words to say about my trip. The hotel is in a fantastic location. Right outside the Acropoli metro station. Less than a few minutes walk to the south slope entrance of the Acropolis, and within easy walking distance to most of the relevant sites in central Athens. On the service front. I had a room booked and was extremely early getting to the hotel, around 9 AM. I asked if it was OK to leave my luggage so I could get a head out but was actually given my room early which helped...
