Hospitality, quality, attentiveness…I could go on. They couldn’t do enough for you. The staff make this place the most enjoyable experience. The rooms were clean and well looked after with nice little touches and chocolate treat every day on your bed. Thank you. I will come again when I am in Athens. ...

Amalia Hotel Athens
Good location, however it should be pointed that the rooms are a bit dated. The room was not available when we arrived (even though we had informed about the time earlier), but we were given an upgrade and the room had a beautiful view towards the National Garden and the Parliament.

Nur Edge Aparthotel - Acropolis Skyline
Very nice, clean hotel. But the hot tub was “bitty” until the last morning when it was also quite cold (the heater was set on 39 but it didn’t hold that temp). That said we used it a few times on the first 2 days and it was fine.
