Excellent

Everyone on the staff was very helpful and polite. The pool and view from the top were great. And the breakfast buffet was fantastic with really good variety!
Excellent room and accommodations. Great view of Acropolis from rooftop bar diningroom and rooftop pool. Friendly helpful staff at front desk and dining room staff is excellent Clean and well maintined executive suites and complimentary services. Enjoyed several exceptional meals and breathtaking sunset dinners rooftop.
Hotel was clean, nicely proportioned, staff very friendly and efficient.
The rooms are a little small but still lovely. Roof top pool is wonderful as is the restaurant. The gym is functional yet small. Love that it has an outside deck where you can bring your mat and enjoy a fresh air workout.
Our stay at the Stanley was wonderful however we booked a standard room as we were only staying for one evening. It was clean. It was everything we needed, but it was in an older tower of the complex and I found that the rooms were a little bit noisy, not dreadful people weren’t partying, but noise did wake me throughout the night. I have stayed in the other part of the hotel and noise has never been an issue otherwise no complaints. Staff was wonderful. The breakfast is great and location is wonderful.
In addition to an outstanding breakfast buffet, the facility was very clean. The staff provided a place for us to stow our luggage while we waited for our room to be ready. They assisted us in arranging tours that left from the hotel, and helped us find a larger taxi to accommodate our luggage when we left. The pool area was very beautiful, and there seemed to be adequate lounges provided. We chose a Superior Room, which had an extra bed. It was a tight fit for three people, but we managed. I would definitely return to the Stanley Hotel in the future.
Location was perfect-right next to metro station. Breakfast was delicious with numerous options to choose from. Housekeeping did wonderful job keeping room clean and refreshing coffee/tea supplies daily. Staff was phenomenal-friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. Would definitely stay at The Stanley hotel again
The hotel is in a slightly rough around the edges area but it is next to a metro stop, plus you can walk to most of the central areas in about 20 minutes anyway.
We had a superior room so this meant breakfast in the upstairs restaurant overlooking the Acropolis...not bad I have to say! It was never too crowded up there, the food was good and well stocked too.
Best bit about the hotel though is the rooftop pool of course. Could have stayed there the whole trip! Bar prices are a bit expensive (€9 a pint) especially when compared to the rest of the Athens, but that is the only negative.
Rooms were also cleaned very well each day, plus reception dealt with our requests swiftly when needed. Would highly recommend!
We had a fabulous stay at the Stanley. Very comfortable rooms, amazing roof top views, and friendly, helpful staff. The breakfast buffet was also delicious. We would definitely stay here again c
Comfortable room with convenient wetroom style bathroom. Good shower, comfortable bed. The staff were polite and helpful, and the cost was very reasonable.
Room was spotless and clean
Staff lovely and friendly. Thanks Theodora at breakfast for being so cheerful.
Metro right outside hotel and big bus tours there too, great location

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Great staff but don't expect a 4/5 star experience. Room amenities were basic but acceptable. Great location, 4 metro stops to the Acropolis, lots of cafes and restaurants nearby.
The staff were excellent nothing was any trouble.the rooftop bar and pool are had fantastic views of Athens the room was very clean. If i come back to Athens i will certainly book the Stanly again.
Fresh breakfast every morning, staff were lovely and happy to help, and the metro is right outside. I wouldn’t walk around at night or two and from attractions in the day, lots of substance misuse and prostitution.
Lovely clean rooms, fantastic breakfast and friendly helpful staff.
The local area leaves a bit to be desired at night but we never felt unsafe or had an issue. Local coffee shops and eateries nearby with a metro and open top bus stop directly outside the hotel. Lovely pool and bar on the roof with acropolis views.
