The location was excellent. Within easy walking distance to the Acropolis and the Plaka as well as most of the key important sites in Athens. The front office staff were extremely positive and helpful in terms of questions and booking cars and excursions. There are many very good restaurants in easy walking distance. The room was very large with a great bathroom and bed, and was very clean. The room had a good AC and WIFI.

Our room was a "garden view" double. In fact it faced an interior view of many neighboring windows, rooftops, balconies that was not particularly attractive and did not allow privacy without closing the curtains.

The location is perfect! Incredible views of Acropolis from our balcony, it was almost unbelievable. There are tons of shops, taverns, etc nearby it's so convenient to walk out and grab food and a drink or do some shopping. We were able to do a tour of Acropolis and our meeting point with our guide was just minutes away. We traveled with our two daughters, 10 and 1.5 yrs old. The suite was the perfect size and they were able to provide a crib along with the sofa bed. The area we were in was also stroller friendly. The staff were very helpful when it came to setting up transportation for us from the airport and then to the port when we left. Highly recommend Ava Hotel and Suites!

The staff is exceptional. They also have the most delightful breakfast, with fresh squeezed orange juice that is out of this world. We were traveling on to explore the islands for 9 days and they stored three very large suitcases for us until we returned. The property location is amazing. You can see Hadrian’s Arch at the end of what may be one of the oldest streets in Athens. The surrounding neighborhood is quaint and charming with a pedestrian area filled with shops and dining at the foot of the Acropolis. I would definitely stay there again.

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like

The hotel staff were exceptionally helpful when I had my wallet stolen during the last night of my stay. I was able to cancel all my cards but was left with no cash and no funds until my flight home the next day. I had prepaid for my hotel and taxi, thankfully. Vassia and Penny (sp?) packed a bag full of travel food for me, which was such a thoughtful and kind gesture. I will never forget it! Also, my hotel room was available for early check in, which is wonderful since my flight had arrived so early that day. This beautiful hotel has an unparalleled and accommodating staff!

There was nothing I didn't like!

We began staying at AVA Hotel on our annual trips to Greece about 5 years ago (2018). I initially found AVA using the Trip Advisor ratings. It's a small little "boutique hotel" in Athens, over near Hadrian's Arch. AVA hotel has become our "home in Athens" each year. We have a routine - we fly into Athens on Saturday afternoon, get to the hotel, and then go out to dinner. Sunday morning we get up, have breakfast, and begin our trip by going to the 11th century church of St Katherine's - which is about 200 feet away, down the street. We generally get a Jr. Suite overlooking Lysistratou (the front of the hotel). The view from the balcony is incredible - To the left is Hadrian's Arch, to the right is the Acropolis. After dropping our luggage, the family generally goes out onto the balcony - sees Hadrian's Arch, and says, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....home again!" The staff is wonderful, the rooms are large and clean, and the beds are the BEST! A great way to begin your Greece adventure. And don't overlook the breakfast! They've had the same person running the kitchen for 5 years (Vassiliki). She is just solid GOLD! The breakfasts are extraordinary...and a great way to get everyone together to review the program for the day. We generally measure ALL BREAKFASTS in Greece by comparing them to AVA. For the next couple weeks, each morning we hear, "Better than AVA....nah!" Each year when we come home, the family tells me, "Adjust whatever else you want in our trip next year - JUST NOT AVA." My congratulations to the management of the hotel You have done something remarkable....year after year after year! BRAVO!!!

Our stay at AVA was definitely too SHORT! XAXAXA

Overall, the visit to the Ava Hotel was wonderful. The breakfast was great, the staff, friendly and helpful, the room was large and the location was perfect. The back entrance to the Acropolis was two or three minutes away. We had no line to enter at 5:30 for a sunset climb. The Plaka with its pedestrian streets and restraurants, also two minutes away, and well at the Acropolis museum.

To make the room a little more comfortable it would have been nice to have carpeting near the bed. Also we had booked a junior suite with a garden view and balcony, but the balcony really only looked out at the building next door.

The location of the hotel was amazing. Everything was within walking distance- Acropolis, Temple of Zeus...restaurants and souvenir shops. The staff were exceptional too. Very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Consistency in housekeeping. One day we did not receive enough towels, another day something else was missing. But as soon as we asked the staff, we got it, They were all so quick! Really appreciate everything!

The room was spacious; the overall facilites were excellent. But the staff is what really makes the difference. In particular Panagoula (sp?) went out of her way to overcome our issues finding a cab one night. Going above and beyond my wildest expectations. They were always welcoming and helpful with directions/recommendations. Highly recommend

This hotel is in a perfect location if you have little time to explore the city. It was literally a 3 min walk to the entrance to the Acropolis and Museum. Close to great little restaurants coffee shops and souvenir shops as well! The room was spacious and looked fairly similar to the photos. Our plane was majorly delayed so we weren’t able to take the car they had arranged for us but that worked just fine. We used Uber in Athens for our whole trip and it was the same as it is in the US. Our only suggestion is ask to not be placed in the room on the first floor. It was right next to the kitchen and very loud first thing in the morning. The staff were all very helpful and friendly.

Location was fantastic, room was exceptional and comfortable. We got the executive room which had a bedroom with balcony and a large living room with island with kitchenette and a pull up sofa bed. It was great for 2 adults and 2 children aged 13 and 7. We really enjoyed our time here. Vassia in the front desk really made an impression on us and was warm, inviting and made us feel comfortable immediately on arriving and throughtout our stay.

Everything was excellent. We did not try breakfast as we cooked a bit in our kitchenette.
