Academias Hotel, Autograph Collection

Omonia Athens|0.27km from Panepistimiou Street
When I was younger, I spent two weeks in Greece to visit various places on the Peloponnese peninsula, but up until this year, I had never been to Athens before. I am someone who likes to explore places, and I often do not have day by day plans - but the one thing that is always important for me is a good base, a place to come back to in the late afternoon or evening to relax. I generally am not into nightlife, so I usually spend evenings in my accommodation - so I try to make sure to book a good place. I was tempted to go for a cheaper option, but after the last few years and all the stress, I decided to treat myself. Why earn all that money if I don’t use it right? I spent nine days in the Academias Hotel in Athens. I chose it because the location seemed ideal on a map. Fortunately, the reality also was not a disappointment. I visited the Acropolis a couple of times. It takes about 20-30 minutes to walk there, but I also saw that there are bus connections if you do not like to walk (I LOVE walking, because you also get to see more of the places and can sometimes come across interesting shops, parks, etc.). I could go on about places that are within easy reach, but you’re probably more interested in the hotel itself! The check-in was easy and I felt very welcome. There wasn’t a grumpy staff member in sight (hotel staff in certain places in the UK could learn from that friendliness!). I tried to impress with my few sentences of Greek that I learned, but fortunately, staff in this hotel has no problem with other languages. Not once during my stay did I have an issue with staff. They were all polite and respectful. The big plus for me also was that they did not annoy me. Friendly yes, but they did not make me feel harassed like it can happen in other hotels. While I did obviously check out photos of the hotel in advance before I booked, I was pleasantly surprised by my room (I booked a room with a king-sized bed). Everything was very clean, and there were BOOKS on the shelves. That was really a nice touch, I think. The bathroom was HUGE, and let me tell you: the showers are awesome. You’ll really appreciate a good shower after an active day in Athens, especially in summer! It was lovely! The room was nice and I had lots of space.The writing desk was perfect because I’m a writer and always in need of such a space! There was even a nice little coffee machine. Of course, also the usual stuff like a TV (with Netflix access!), shampoos, all the stuff you’d expect from a high quality hotel. The hotel has a lot to offer in addition to your actual room. There is a gym (I didn’t use that, I didn’t go on holiday to work out) and also a spa if you are into that. Worth a mention is the food as well. There’s a great restaurant with excellent views - and the food is just as excellent, which makes this a wonderful eating experience. Breakfast was also excellent, I really can’t complain. If you feel like trying something else, there are also plenty of restau

Omonia Athens|0.31km from Panepistimiou Street
This is the most unprofessional hotel I have ever been to - and mind you we did not even get to stay there. Made the reservation for 3 days, paid through my agent in full, got confirmation email, and called the hotel and confirmed the stay. Arrived at the hotel. Door was locked (needed a code to get in) nobody at the reception for about 10 minutes and light rain outside. Finally another guest let us in. Another 10 minutes waiting with nobody at the reception. Finally a surly employee showed up to tell us our reservation was cancelled by someone with noname - eventually she gave us a name and blamed the booking agent. It took about 3 hours trying to resolve this and she said we could stay there for 1 night and the other 2 nights to go to their sister hotel 700m away. She also said they had a higher category room but we would need to pay the difference. completely disinterested, no attempt whatsoever to help out. It was like take it or leave it .... who cares. So finally, my agent and I were fed up and he moved us to a better more central hotel and said we did not have to pay anything.... What type of a hotel locks the front door at 10AM and the reception staff is away for more than 20 minutes, not a single form of an apology and no empathy and effort to try help a traveller? Mistakes do happen (probably on the agent's side) but the hotel staff was most unprofessional and preferred to keep a room empty rather than negotiating a win-win solution. Oh well, their loss as we travel to Athens a lot and this hotel is no longer considered as a choice to stay at.

Belle Epoque Suites
4.5/556 Reviews
Omonia
Delightfully cozy and well appointed rooms which are conveniently located. We walked with ease to all the sites, restaurants, and shopping. The onsite restaurant was incredible. Breakfast included is a must as you order from the menu not a buffet! Dinner and cocktails in the evening feature live music. The staff is gracious and warm. The room was very comfortable and we had all we needed. When in Athens, stay here!!
Klepsydra Urban Suites
4.6/554 Reviews
Omonia
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Klepsydra Suites. We had booked two rooms - one for my husband and my son (11 years old) and one for my daughter (14 years old) and myself. The hotel is very centrally located in walking distance to almost everything - Monastiraki is a five minute walk away. The rooms are renovated, fresh and clean. The beds are very comfortable. The bathrooms are modern and clean. One of our rooms had a little kitchen and a seating/lounging area. Coffee and tea making facilities are provided. Drinks in the room bar fridge are reasonably priced, a welcome surprise. Our rooms were facing to the back, looking at another building wall. This made the rooms quite dark with little daylight, but also very quiet. Outside of the hotel is a little kiosk that sells almost everything. There are also plenty of restaurants and bars just outside. The reception staff are friendly and most helpful. We had to ask several times for extra towels, soaps and shampoos, which were always promptly provided. The elevator goes from the mezzanine floor to floor 4. So it's good to know that for floors 5 and 6 and up to the mezzanine you have to carry the suitcases.

This was a beautiful hotel overlooking the Acropolis and the Parthenon. Thanks to Kathy in reception for her help and guidance with tours. The room was just beautiful and the rooftop bar had the most amazing views. Breakfast and afternoon cocktails on rooftop terrace just the best thanks to Kikki, Nicole, and Bianca. Not to forget John and Christo for cocktails. This hotel was in the centre of Athens. Located close to restaurants and Syntagma Square. Love to return, Thanks to you all

Philosofia Athens Suites
4.5/56 Reviews
Omonia
I needed two hotel stays in Athens; book end trip if you will - 3 nights then we left Athens, and 6 days later I needed one night stay, again in Athens. We traveled with 4 people (two adults, two children). Ms. Vera and Andreas were very helpful in arranging the booking- making sure I had the necessary entry codes to get access to the hotel and room. The hotel Philosofia is self catering. It was centrally located and very clean. It was especially handy to have access to a washer- with necessary supplies (soap et !) at no additional cost. The staff we communicated with (Ms. Vera and Ms. Andreas) we’re responsive and helpful in arranging transfers as well. (I used WhatsApp to text and in one instance speak with) After the initial transfer from the airport to the hotel which Philosofia arranged - we needed three more during our stay in Athens. Mr.Spyros, who works as the transportation manager with Philosofia was amazing! At one point I gave him incorrect information (wrong day- my error) about a transfer and despite my error, he made sure I made it to my destination on time and even with time to spare- when I called him in near panic bc of my mistake! Mr. Spyros was a joy to deal with and all of his drivers were very friendly and accommodating AND had very clean vehicles! Thank you to all. Your assistance made our enjoyable stay in Athens even more pleasant and carefree. Greek hospitality is so warm and impressive. We can’t wait to return to the birthplace of democracy and will stay here again! Efcharistó!
