Spa hotels in Athens

This place is quite unusual. My room was upgraded so that I had a suite over two floors, with a small private pool on another lower level. Absolutely every convenience had been considered, some extras might verge on overkill (bog roll tied up with a ribbon for example). The room looked amazing on first inspection, but I quite quickly realised the smell of the pool was so strong it stung my eyes, and the sound of the ventilation unit was quite a roar. There was only one small openable window on the mezzanine level next to the bed and I had to sleep with that open as wide as possible. Bed was extremely comfortable, I had to turn off the pool ventilator unit in the middle of the night because it kept waking me up, but once I had done that and the smell of baking bread entered the room from a bakery down the road I slept like a log. Staff were really nice and friendly, but they are working with quite difficult circumstances and perhaps unnecessarily. The kitchen is on the bottom floor and breakfast is served on the 5th floor roof (from which you can see the Parthenon) breakfast is a little awkward as you get a huge wicker basket 🧺 full of food plus crepes, plus omelette, plus tuna sandwich, a whole baguette (some more little ribbons), and I am not sure anyone can eat as much as is provided, and the server had to keep travelling up and down in the one person elevator. Probably would be better to ask guests what they would like to have for breakfast out of the options available and have a coffee/tea station upstairs. There is the option to take lunch in your room - for which the picnic basket concept makes a lot more sense. Seems like there should be a way to make the place feel more efficient and common sensible. I did get the feeling that they might have only just opened and are finding their feet, so I hope this review will be useful - certainly was a generous accommodation and staff are working very hard to make sure guests have the best possible experience.

The biggest advantage of this apartment hotel is that it is in a good location, located in the city center, walking to the market, monuments, subway stations (40 minutes from Metro Line 3 to the airport), downstairs is full of lively restaurants, super convenient. The room is very large, a family of three and four are no problem, the facilities are complete, you can eat like a home, the hotel provides a variety of breakfasts, overall it is good. The only downside is that the surrounding area is too lively, and the restaurant bar below is noisy until two or three in the morning every day.

Our entire trip to Athens was spent at the A for Athens Hotel, and the overall experience far exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Athens! The hotel boasts a prime location in the heart of the Old Town, just a 3-minute walk to Monastiraki Square, and a mere ten-minute stroll to the Acropolis and Plaka Old Town. Metro stations, local eateries, and affordable supermarkets are abundant nearby, making both getting around and dining incredibly convenient. The hotel's biggest highlight is its rooftop terrace bar, offering an unobstructed panoramic view of both the Acropolis and Mount Lycabettus. Coming up for a drink at sunset truly sets a fantastic mood, and it's an excellent spot for photos. Room cleaning is meticulous and thorough daily; the floors and bathrooms are spotless, and the air conditioning, hot water, and high-speed Wi-Fi are stable all day. The bed is soft, ensuring a great night's sleep. The 24-hour front desk staff are warm and friendly; they proactively offer city maps, patiently explain sightseeing routes, and even provide free luggage storage for large items. Breakfast is an authentic Greek buffet, featuring a wide variety of cheeses, olives, handmade pies, freshly ground coffee, and fresh fruit – enough to fuel a full day of walking tours. The only minor drawback is that the building is older, and the elevator is a bit small, but this in no way detracts from the overall guest experience. Balancing location, service, and views, this hotel offers exceptional value for money in central Athens. I would definitely rebook here on my next trip to Athens, Greece!

Excellent service and dining, plus the pool and spa! I felt right at home here and will definitely return. Highly recommend, you can even swim with views of the Parthenon!

Stayed solo at the St George Lycabettus and loved it. The hilltop location is something else — stunning views over Athens day and night, and Kolonaki right on the doorstep for evening dining and drinks. Staff were warm and attentive throughout. The pool was a great daytime retreat from the heat. A characterful, well-positioned hotel that really gets the Athens atmosphere right.

Nice hotel with good facilities and really friendly staff.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, very close to attractions like the Parthenon and Syntagma Square. The hotel service is superb, the restaurant food is delicious, and the gym and swimming pool are great.

This hotel is said to be five-star online, but the stars abroad are actually different from those in China, which is the standard of three stars in China. The picture of the swimming pool is seriously faked. In fact, it is a very small swimming pool on the first floor and you can't see the sea at all. It's a bit of false advertising. The hotel is next to the main road, the doors and windows are not soundproofed, and the noise is quite loud. We told the front desk to check out half an hour later, and they agreed. When checking out, they insisted on 150 euros, saying that they only talked about one room and the other room would be charged. Later, after repeated communication, they waived the payment. I don't know if the front desk didn't understand or did it on purpose. These hotels all have kettles,

This is definately not a 5 star hotel. I can’t understand how it’s been given that ranking. The room was definitely not the same as the picture. The carpet in the room was old and faded. The decor looked like it was from when it was first built or updated, at least 30+ years ago. The bathroom in the executive room was worse than Butlins basic accommodation in the U.K., and that’s saying something. The yellow sofa in the grand reception area was tired and dirty. I definitely would never stay there again or recommend to anybody. The majority of the staff were unfriendly. The waiters in the dining room never even looked at you. We had to go to them to request tea and coffee with our breakfast and it seemed like it was too much trouble for them. We stayed in the hotel as part of a fully inclusive cruise booking. The cruise company Iglu cruises must have got a really good deal with them. The hotel was full of people on fully inclusive deals. Definitely not five star. More like 2 star in my opinion.

Unfortunately this hotel was a complete nightmare, I arrived with serious eye infection and got no understanding or help from the staff. Noone helped me getting to the hospital. Then I even got a horrible room that was noisy, and NO window that could be opened. While complaining to the manager the next day I got even treated worse making up lies that I was yelling to the staff, which is NOT TRUE. I was just in pain asking for a better room or better service. Oh also they recommended the parking space for my super expensive car claiming its SAFE to leave them my car keys. I asked twice if this is really safe as my complete luggage is still in the car. When I went there to get my luggage out, the car was open!!! with the key inside. In the middle of Athens and noone there even from this parking team. like a complete fail on sooo many levels. The heating system is always on in the rooms making huge noise, also the pool downstairs has crazy machines making the whole night sounds. I am so happy I found another beautiful hotel around the corner quiet and excellent service!!!! Just dont stay there, its not good. Even the pool area is a joke and no jacuzzi in winter on the roof, they are not worth any visit!
