Port Tower Hotel is a gem! Location is great, close to restaurants and cafes. If you’re going on a cruise, it is minutes away to the Piraeus Port. The breakfast is good, lots of choices. And you get complimentary bottle of wine and water bottles everyday!!! Lastly, the staff and the manager are so friendly! I highly recommend Port Tower!
We recently stayed here and had a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment wr arrived. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location was great, close to everything we wanted to see and do. The breakfast buffet was great with plenty of choices. I highly recommend staying here for a comfortable and enjoyable stay while in Greece. There are a maze of options but you will do yourself a favour by staying here.

It was the first time I stayed in the hotel and it was a wonderful stay I was in the room 402 days the only thing I wanted you to be responsible for is how much the bottom of the door was a little damaged and it didn't close easily I pointed it out to the girls who were very kind when they were cleaning and I think that they will take care of it and fix it for their next bookings otherwise everything was great in this hotel including the spa which I had treatment and the girls were very kind and of course the restaurant which I also attended for a pie cutting it had very kind people and very good food
Great rooms location and building. Very clean. It’s such a pity they don’t change some things like the chairs and care to vamp it up a bit.
The gym is sad,
although has all equipment and space needed it’s dark and gloomy. Breakfast is really mediocre, the coffee is baaad but great selection of Greek herbal teas which I appreciated.
Has the potential to really be 5* ( and probably was 20yrs ago)…
but lacks love and attention to detail.
Beds very comfortable. I would stay there again as it’s vale for money though. Staff are polite and smiling.
The hotel was renovated from an old building, and the elevator is so small that it can only accommodate one person and one suitcase, but the room facilities are very new and the bed is very comfortable. On the first day, I got a larger room at the corner of the street. Although I could see a little bit of the mountain view, the sound insulation was not good. The sound of cars and motorcycles on the street was endless, and it was noisy until ten o'clock in the evening. Fortunately, the ladies and gentlemen at the front desk were very warm and friendly. The next day, I changed to a room facing the inner courtyard. It immediately calmed down and I slept well, feeling refreshed. The breakfast restaurant is on the top floor. You can enjoy a cup of coffee in the open air and enjoy the mountain view of Athens. However, there is really no choice in food, they are all sweet. There are many homeless people around the hotel and the roads are not easy to walk, but the subway station is nearby and you can easily go anywhere. It is recommended to stay for one day first, then extend if you feel it is good, or change if not, there are many hotels around.
This hotel is simply divine! It’s brand new construction. The rooms, bed, air conditioning are wonderful.
The Athens view roof top restaurant is one of the best parts of the hotel. The food is delicious. The service is exceptional.
The morning breakfast is the best breakfast that I have ever had in a hotel. The breakfast room with outdoor garden is serene and a wonderful experience.
The only negatives are:
1) The pool is cold and not heated
2) The hotel is far away from the desirable area of plaka or Monastiraki. $15 Euros by cab or 1 hour walk.
Review for NYX Esperia Palace Athens – Luxurious Stay with a Few Caveats
We stayed at NYX Esperia Palace Athens for four full days – two couples, each in an Executive Suite with access to the business lounge.
The welcome was warm and efficient, and we received our rooms exactly at 3:00 PM, as per hotel policy. The suites were clean, stylish, and well-equipped with amenities such as disposable toothbrushes, shaving kits, loofahs, a hairdryer, and more. One of our suites, located on the 7th floor, even had a partial view of the Acropolis, which was a lovely bonus.
The room’s climate, lighting, and curtains were all operated through digital controls, designed to pamper guests — although, in practice, they were not very intuitive and required a bit of trial and error. For instance, turning off the bedside light required getting up and walking to a control panel.
The TV included Israeli channels (11, 12, and 13), which we appreciated. Breakfast on the 10th floor was excellent, offering a wide variety of high-quality options, and the waiter service was above average.
One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional care provided by Ilia, the hotel's Public Relations Manager. She guided us almost from the moment we arrived until we left — recommending excellent tavernas, booking taxis, restaurants, and arranging a private guided tour. On our last day, we were also warmly greeted by Dionysia in the lounge — charming and attentive.
That said, there were some drawbacks:
Reception service was inconsistent – not all staff members were welcoming; some appeared cold or offered forced smiles.
The business lounge was disappointing – small, crowded, with modest food and drink offerings and uninspiring seating. It felt more like a repurposed room than a proper lounge.
The pools require advance reservation, with no room for spontaneity. Usage hours are segmented (e.g., 1–4 PM or 4–7 PM), and spots after 7 PM are very limited. The rooftop pool area is crowded, and the adjacent restaurant is also open to non-guests.
Rooftop restaurant experience: One evening we returned from a night out and hoped to enjoy a drink with a view. Although two front-row tables overlooking the Acropolis were available, we were initially told they were reserved. Minutes later, we were informed we could sit there for a €25 minimum spend per person. The sudden shift from ”reserved” to ”available for a price” was off-putting — especially as hotel guests staying in suites.
The guided tour recommended by the hotel involved nearly 4 hours of driving during a 5-hour trip, leaving us with very little time at each stop. We suggest skipping it.
Bottom line:
The hotel is modern, very clean, and the suites are luxurious. Service is mostly excellent, particularly thanks to Ilia and Dionysia. However, don't count on spontaneous access to the pool or rooftop restaurant — enjoying those requires planning ahead, much like booking a theater show. If you value well-designed suites and structured experiences, this hotel may be a great fit. If you’re looking for flexibility and full-day pampering from hotel facilities — you might find it a bit limiting.

In the heart of Athens, a short walk away from the best restaurants and shopping, this hotel has everything you need. Breakfast spread was generous and had some local Greek breakfast items too. The bed was extremely comfortable and we loved how everything worked easily from the touch of your phone. The shower had excellent water pressure and the place was spotlessly clean. Friendly staff too. We would definitely stay here again!

SSokratis MoutidisPerfect for a Short Stay Near the Airport
The location is excellent if you have a short layover or need to stay near the airport. The rooms are comfortable, well-equipped, and offer the quality you expect from Sofitel. Despite being right next to the airport, the hotel is surprisingly quiet, ensuring a restful stay. Highly recommended for transit travelers!
GGuest UserHighlights: beautiful views of acropolis and surrounding area from rooftop bar/restaurant space (also where breakfast served), buffet of good standard and restaurant staff very polite and a credit to the hotel.
Improvements: reception staff generally very helpful but one particular staff member was not forthcoming with information/recommendations for restaurants/ details regarding late check out - we were always referred to come back later/following day to reception to ask someone else; when same questions asked later to a different member of staff, they were more than happy to help with all enquiries.
Room: no ‘do not disturb’ sign available, housekeeping knocked on room at 9am every day, which woke us up; also housekeeping entering room after knocking on door without waiting for guests to respond; need some adjustments to respect privacy or guests; hotel corridors are very stuffy even in winter time
Overall: a very pleasant stay

GGuest UserThis hotel is a hidden gem, amazing facilities, rooms, location, beech, water, food, etc. Surpassed all my expectations.
The Spa is also incredible, ask for Sofia as a masseus (she is world class therapist) and book her for at least twice. Then make sure to chat with Frosina about anything. Elena is also very nice and will help you out.
GGuest UserAbsolutely loved my time in this hotel! Had a great time, amazing poo, incredible roof top restaurant, the most iconic view possible ever in all of Athens with a beautiful setting!! Could not have asked for more!! totally loved it would definitely come back :) Also loved the set out, all of the marble, the foyer and the staff were amazing to me and the restaurant team really did a lot to look after me and my dietary sensitivities!! Mega love to all who looked after me and massive massive thanks!!
EemurlaNothing negative about this awesome place.
The personal is so friendly, they try to help you with all small details.
You will feel yourself like at your home, you will not want to leave this place at the end.
Stunning view at the rooftop to Acropolis, amazing location close with Kolonaki,Syntagma and all popular brands,cafes,restaurants by walk.
Excited to come back to the hotel.
Thanks to all the staff again and again.
GGuest UserReception was very friendly during check-in and staff for breakfast was very nice. The facilities were alright for us. I'm not sure if it was just our room or the entire building but there was this constant ”smoke” smell during our stay that was very difficult to ignore in our room. They did offer us to change a room but after walking around the floor and lobby, might of been just a smell that was throughout the building. There was a used orange drink in our fridge which could of been easily missed by the maids but was a little concerning what else might of been missed. Again all minor issues that would not stop me from staying there again if needed.
GGuest UserThe hotel is located on a small road in the old town, between the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum, and it takes no more than ten minutes to walk to both. The Acropolis can be seen on the left side of the balcony in the Acropolis-view room. The surrounding area is safe, with many restaurants and supermarkets nearby, and there are small roads nearby, so you can avoid the strong sun in Athens by walking on the small roads. The hotel facilities are old and do not meet the domestic five-star standards. The breakfast is not bad, but freshly squeezed orange juice must be ordered separately from the waiter.
