Astor Hotel Athens

Astor Hotel Athens

8/10 Good
"This is a nice property, the rooms are clean and comfortable and spacious by European standards. Great location as well, can’t beat it, right in the middle of everything and near to all the sights. The staff seemed indifferent, professional but indifferent, it may be cultural but I never saw anyone smile of great you, not very hospitable. Something to work on. Other than that this is a good Hotel."

10/10 Excellent
"Very beautiful property in the heart of where you have easy access to shopping bars and restaurants. The staff was extremely helpful and always available. Just be aware that the elevators are very small and we resorted to using the stairs more than the elevators. we reserved a room with the breakfast included, which I would highly recommend there is a great assortment, and it’s on the rooftop with a beautiful view of the Acropolis."

"It was a nice experience overall. My only complaint is that the property allows for you to reserve pool chairs. This should be nice but many people never showed and the chairs sat empty all day with reserve sign still on them."

What is a historic hotel like in Athens?
Historic hotels give guests a chance to stay in a place that's been recognised with an official historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as palaces, castles, stately homes or even lodges, pubs or skyscrapers — any building that's been identified as being of special interest. These types of hotels in Athens often retain original elements like traditional architecture and period features in their public spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These are quite similar. "Historic hotel" is more commonly used in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to emphasise the building and architecture itself. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the place's cultural value and how it shaped the community.
Do historic hotels in Athens have modern facilities?
Yes, efforts are made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, while interiors have safety features and modern conveniences. Tourists who book a stay can expect the amenities from a contemporary hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, and free and fast Internet. Booking a historic hotel in Athens doesn't mean you're choosing a place that's uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
