Athos Hotel

"I recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience overall. On the positive side, the staff were exceptionally friendly and polite, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The location was excellent—within walking distance to major shopping areas and Monastiraki, which made exploring the city very convenient.\nThe rooms were clean and spacious; however, sound insulation seemed to be an issue as I could occasionally hear toilets flushing in adjacent rooms. One major drawback was the mini fridge, which unfortunately did not function properly—it felt more like a microwave.\nBreakfast was available at an additional charge, but I found it underwhelming due to limited options. The WiFi connection was also unreliable, forcing me to rely on cellular data at times.\nThe building itself appears to be older, which could explain the extremely small elevator. While understandable, it was still slightly inconvenient. Another aspect that detracted from the experience was the requirement to leave the room key at the front desk every time we exited the hotel—a policy that felt outdated and inconvenient.\nAfter discovering other nearby hotels with rooftop amenities and similar pricing, I would likely consider alternative accommodations in the future. While the stay was acceptable overall, the value for the price paid did not meet expectations."

"The Athos hotel is a decent hotel in a convenient location. They have a lift which is somewhat rare with European budget hotels. But it's the smallest I've ever been in. My suitcase and I barely fit. The room is compact. The air conditioning was a placebo. You can push more air by whistling. And never cold air. We were thankful the windows opened fully. There's a roof top with a view of the Acropolis but there's nothing to do up there unless you bring it with you. It's just a roof. You're better off going to the metropolis Hotel rooftop or the Elysium rooftop Where they have restaurants and bars. The shower is so small you have to step out to change your mind. But the water is a consistent temperature and heats up easily. The room was very clean. The staff were very helpful and kind. There's a fabulous cafe for breakfast that costs less than the hotel just a few blocks away called Aioli. ✌🏼"

"The good things about the hotel was the location & the staff. The room was clean but very small & the bathroom was tiny. It was almost impossible to shower! They offer breakfast for a charge but felt it wasn't worth the money. There is a wonderful bakery on the corner just steps from the hotel. We enjoyed our stay in Athens but probably wouldn't stay at Athos Hotel on our next visit."
