Astor Hotel Athens

Astor Hotel Athens

10/10 Excellent
"This Hotel was so Great. The Terrace window was so unique to look at the acropolis morning, noon and night. Room was clean, modern. The Bathroom was classy. The staff over the top. The location was perfect. I can’t even begin to describe the staff, courteous, friendly caring.. We would return nightly and sit upstairs on the terrace bar restaurant and just enjoy the view. The restaurant next-door, just a stone throwaway was such a treat and the fresh juice bar across the street and the coffee shop were heavenly being so close. This Hotel is in the perfect spot in the Heart of the city. Safe area and so close to many Restaurants and lil hidden gem shops. Massage was just a few blocks away and heavenly. Make sure to book a terrace room facing the acropolis. if we ever come back to Athens, we’re gonna stay back at this hotel again. Just a great Hotel!!"
