"Ideally located 2 mins from the Metro and 20 mins walk from the beautiful Acropolis. Featuring a nicely designed rooftop bar and resteraunt with panoramic views; only The Wyndham Hotel impinging on the view to the Acropolis. Food / drink was reasonably priced and had a great selection of dishes including Vegetarian choices; also an excellent choice of wines and cocktails. Nevertheless, even at quiet times, Service is 'unhurried'... The Deluxe Room is / was barely adequate. I don't know what filters and lenses they used to 'big-up' my room and Shower-room. The shower-room: Clean but barely functional. The corner shower cubicle was not as shown and as a barely 70cm × 70cm equilateral triangle; actually washing yourself is challenging. On more than one occasion I knocked the shower thermostat control to either freezing or scalding hot. If you weigh more than 70kg it will be dangerously tight for you. The hotel itself has a shallow rooftop pool; sun lounger etc; a gym and decent lobby area. However, from day one, we were missing amenities such as barhrobes. On day 2 we were left with no towels but a complimentary damp cleaning cloth on the bed pillow. It took 2 complaints including 1 in person, for us to finally be brought towels. On a more positive note, the reception staff were pleasant and de-escalatory. Be aware, works were taking place at the hotel during our visit; heavy banging and drilling; from about 645am... Just as well we were up at 7am each day. Breakfast - Superb"

"Excellent property and close to major attractions and subway."

"The hotel itself was great, centrally located. We were able to walk everywhere. However, the road noise from the cars and number of horns blaring on the street in front of the hotel was the only drawback. We were on the first floor. A room higher up may have helped."

"We had an excellent experience staying at this hotel. The staff was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with anything we needed, which made our stay feel effortless and welcoming. The breakfast was amazing, with a great variety of options and everything fresh and delicious. It was the perfect way to start each day. The location was also a huge plus—convenient and ideal for exploring the area, with everything we needed close by. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay."

"Best location. Nice staff and clean rooms. Buffet breakfast was good as well. Noisy at nights due to music and entertainment from Monastiraki square. But shops and restaurants nearby and close to all the attractions within walking distance. "
