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!
Typical 5 star hotel. Nice and clean. Only problem I asked room services to bring 2 forks in my room. They said they have to charge £15.00 for them to bring it to my room or free to collect it from the bar.

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
Overall, this Hotel was good, friendliness in particular! Though we just stayed there for one nite (would have to get on board the cruise the following morning), the Receptionist, Efie was very helpful in telling us how we could get to the port and went extra miles in sorting out the transport details for us. Also, the breakfast there was satisfactory - though the food variety was just so so, the staff was very efficient in refilling, thus, all hot stuffs were found tasty. As for the room, it was clean and tidy. The cleanliness of the bathroom was praiseworthy (I know too well that I'm very particular on the toilet hygiene standard)。
If I would re-visit Athens of Greece, this Hotel will receive my priority consideration.
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.

The hotel has an excellent location in Athens. The managers are super kind and when you have to leave early in the morning they provide you breakfast in the package. I have been to many decent hotels, but it was first time receiving this service. Also you can smart control all the functions in your room with your phone. It was brilliant and I hope to visit here again next time

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 UserThe room is clean and tidy, the sanitation is very good, and the pillowcases are changed every day. The InterContinental in Athens where I stayed last year left me with a very bad impression. The facilities of the InterContinental are equivalent to those of three-star hotels in China, and the service is not good, so I was still nervous when booking this hotel. I didn't expect the waiter to be kind and enthusiastic. The room is clean and tidy, especially when you have breakfast in the restaurant on the 8th floor, you can see the Acropolis, which is very amazing. The location is also good, and it is very close to Constitution Square and the Acropolis. The only drawback is that the room is not soundproof, and the noise of cars and motorcycles downstairs is very loud before 12 o'clock in the evening! But overall it is very good, I will choose to stay here next time I come to Athens

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.
OO**yIn general, a good hotel at a good price.
The location is good, 5-10 minutes walk to the metro and the main entrance to the acropolis. And right opposite the Temple of Zeus. There are a couple of cafes nearby.
The hotel lobby is gorgeous! Just like royalty.
The rooms are much simpler, the bathroom is of course very old, but that's often the case. The soundproofing is poor (we woke up at night because the neighbors were flushing the water).
Breakfast is simple, but that's all you need. With a gorgeous view.
The pool was not working.
GGuest UserPositive:
- Very clean with a/c and nice aroma around the hotel.
- Breakfast was good which is on the rooftop with lovely views of the acropolis.
- Staff were friendly.
- Location is good which includes a metro station nearby.
- The rooms and bathrooms were clean and spacious.
- Good value for money
Negatives:
- Pool on rooftop is nice but can get busy/crowded.
- They provide early breakfast between 2am - 7am for those with early starts but the options are terrible.
GGuest UserAlthough it is close to station like 7mins walk, the area is horrible, poor district, smelly across to the street with very nice bakery.
Hotel breakfast is very good.
Room size is ok.
Many business related people are in the lobby (very noisy) and it takes long time to check in or ask one question. Receptionist - very poor English!
Construction noisy in afternoon (2-4pm)
Gym and Spa both are old and dirty! Guess that’s athen’s level.
