The location was incredible. 2 minutes walking to literally everything! Acropolis and Agora sooo close and Hadrien’s Library steps away. A zillion restaurants and shops right outside! Room was nice and so clean. Bathrooms new with great water pressure. Plenty of towels and nice greek shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. The roof terrace was awesome. very pretty, very comfortable with a GREAT view and PLENTY of choices at breakfast with eggs, including fresh squeezed orange juice.

One reception man was very disagreeable. he was rude and condescending and made you feel like he was doing you a favor instead of doing his job. I asked about internet since the hotel was not coming up in my settings. he told me it must be my device. Instead it was because we were the last room on the hall. the furthest away. so the internet in room 105 was pretty bad. Later we asked about a taxi. he arranged, but not pleasantly. the other reception person was much more pleasant.

- The Metro & the train station to and from the airport is very close. Very central location, near all the main attractions of the city, the hustle and bustle, lots of shops and places to eat and drink. - All the stuff of the hotel is very polite and helpful! - Every day cleaning. - The room was comfortable enough. I loved the bathroom, it is not too big, but very functional, excellent water pressure in the shower, bath-robes and slippers.

- I would appreciate to have few music channels on TV, coffee machine at the breakfast and extending the hours of breakfast until 10:30. - Wi-Fi connection needs to be improved, as didn't work most of the time. - As for me, the pillows are too hard and uncomfortable.

The location couldn't be better, very close to one of the main squares (Monastiraki) where the metro from the airport stops, but far enough away for the hustle and bustle of the center not to be bothersome. A few meters away there is an endless choice of restaurants, shops and gift shops. From the hotel you can easily reach Plaka, Psyrri, all the archaeological sites that are worth visiting as well as the museums (the furthest away is the National Archaeological Museum). The service could not have been better, available to help with everything we asked, like the best way to get where we wanted to go, and always with great friendliness. Rooms are big, clean, tidy and have everything needed. We faced the inner courtyard so we didn't have any problems with noise, except from other guests who forget how to behave civilly in the corridors (it's not the hotel's responsibility to educate people). Breakfast is simple but what is available is good and for us more than enough (if you are expecting a wide variety of bread, fruit and other foods you should have gone to a 4 or 5 star hotel, don't demand a palace for the price of an apartment). You may have to wait for a table to have breakfast since the room is small, but if people don't stay for more than necessary to eat (there is a world of esplanades in the city, go there to talk and spend time) you will quickly sit down (no point in sulking or fussing, we are all on vacation, be decent and polite people and wait for your turn, the world does not revolve around you). It was an excellent surprise and when we return to Athens I hope to be able to return to the Adrian Hotel.

FANTASTIC LOCATION - hotel is in Plaka, 1-2 mins walk to Monastraki metro and flea market, walking distance to literally everything (i.e Acropolis, acropolis walking tour meeting points, Syntagma square etc) - we only took the metro when our legs got tired. Lovely view of the Acropolis on the terrace where breakfast is served. Staff are super helpful and very informative, it was such a pleasure staying here.

Nothing

You can't beat the location of this hotel----you're literally at the foot of the Acropolis hill and a few footsteps away from Hadrian's Library, the Roman Forum, Monastiraki Market, and the Ermou shopping street. You are never too far away from the main Athens sights, and all key neighborhoods with the best restos, bars, and shopping. Because it was in a central touristy location, it also felt well lit and safe at any time of the day or night. We especially loved how close it was to Monastiraki, Psyrri, Ermou, and Aiolou streets, which have amazing restos. The room was small, but had enough space to store luggage. The bed was especially comfortable. The bathroom was rather small, but enough for our purpose. There were also two supermarkets just two blocks away from the hotel, which was useful. The breakfast selection was small but definitely enough, with warm and cold options. The staff was efficient and friendly as well.

The main criticism I'd have is if you need to take a taxi/Uber to and from the hotel, and it's at peak hours midday or early evening, you WILL be caught in heavy traffic. As such, just take a cab a bit further away (e.g., Athina street), to escape the traffic around Plaka, Ermou, and Monastiraki. Otherwise, the hotel itself was great. The internet was also strong at first but became really spotty in the evenings and in the next days.

We were very comfortable during our 5 day stay. The staff at the front desk greeted us and check-in was smooth. In contrast to some reviews I read, I found every single member of the staff to be friendly, polite and helpful. I liked the location in the Plaka so we could walk to everything we wanted to see - never needed a taxi nor metro. Room was quiet and beds were comfortable. The hotel was much better than expected and also better than I expected based on some negative reviews in the past

The breakfast was fine, but the breakfast room itself wasn't well lit, no windows. It would have been nice if they offered breakfast on the rooftop, but that isn't possible. Also our room was small, and yet perfectly adequate for our stay since we had both a double bed and a single bed. Plenty of storage in the room as well.

Exceptional buffet breakfast taken on the rooftop terrace with a beautiful view of the Acropolis and surrounding city. The central location was great for visiting the local attractions and within walking distance to the Metro stations. All the staff were very friendly and the room was comfortable, we particularly enjoyed using the balcony which overlooked Hadrian's Library.

The hotel is in a great location, there are tavernas and shop as soon as you walk out the door, and the high street is close by. The Acropolis is only a short walk away and can be seen from the hotel, unfortunately the rooftop terrace was not open but I there is a direct view from it while eaten. The room was small, but comfortable and well furnished, had a mini bar and coffee machine as well as a small balcony with street views, the bathroom was spotless and had a waterfall shower with great pressure. The breakfast was great, and all the staff were friendly and helpful, I will definitely stay again if I visit Athens again.

Excellent location in Plaka, very close to all archeological sites, away from main roads and therefore hardly any traffic noise around the hotel. Some rooms have a large private terrace with beautiful plants.

Great location in the heart of the Plaka. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room. We had a small balcony on the 3rd floor with a view to the Acropolis. Staff were friendly. Good value for money in such a good location.

Room was a bit noisy even in December. Probably much more so in the height of the season. Take ear plugs?
