The location of the Utopia Ermou was absolutely brilliant, we could walk to all the main places of interest within about 15 minutes, which also made it easy to pop back for a break during the day. The hotel overlooks Ermou Street, the main pedestrianised shopping street in Athens, it was nearly always busy, but as our room was high up and at the back we didn't have any problems with noise. The hotel only occupies from level 3 to 7 of the building, so the front rooms may well also be fine. The area feels very safe and friendly, the restaurants nearby were not as touristy as around the main attractions in Athens, and we found them a bit cheaper, but still very friendly to tourists. We had breakfast included in our stay, as people have commented the choice is limited, if you like eggs that helps, we enjoyed the scrambled eggs, fried eggs, omelette and avocado toast, which were all made very nicely and came with tea or coffee and orange juice. The rooms were great, roomy and quite stylish, although watch out for the step from the platform the bed is on if you get up for the toilet during the night! It was great to have a fridge and each day we had two new bottles of water left for us as well as plenty of tea and coffee sachets. Aircon was good. The staff were lovely, especially on reception, always spoke to us on our way past and happy to help. The rooftop bar/restaurant had a brilliant view of the acropolis, especially when it was lit up at night!

All in all I would be very happy to recommend the Utopia Ermou, apart from a couple of small niggles. Firstly - the shower. It was very difficult to shower without causing a flood in the bathroom, the problem is the design, which needs to be sorted out. Secondly - lack of storage in the rooms, there are no drawers. As we stayed for a week it would have been really useful to have some drawer space, rather than a bit of hanging space and a couple of shelves. We managed to live with both issues, but it is a shame as otherwise the hotel is perfect.

I recently stayed at Athens Utopia Ermou and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The location is unbeatable, right in the center of Athens, just steps away from Syntagma Square and within walking distance to the Acropolis, Plaka, and some of the best restaurants and cafes in the city. The views from the rooftop are absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunset with the Acropolis in full view. The rooms are modern, clean, and very comfortable. I loved the minimalist design and how well soundproofed everything was, it felt like a peaceful escape in the middle of a vibrant city. But what truly made my stay exceptional was the staff. Every single person I interacted with was incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming. Whether it was giving directions, offering local tips, or simply greeting me with a smile, their warmth and professionalism added a personal touch that made me feel right at home. If you’re visiting Athens and want a stylish, centrally located hotel with outstanding hospitality, Athens Utopia is the place to be. I’ll definitely be back!

Nothing to report

The reason I would come back would be Aggelos and team who are extremely friendly and helpful. These young people working so well are an inspiration to young people across the world. Cleanliness. Towels can be changed as often as liked and toiletries supplied adequately. One litre water supplied daily in the fridge was very handy. Perfect location for sightseeing. The highlight was the view of the Acropolis from the window.

Classic room could have at least one small wardrobe or drawers. Lighting needed above the dressing mirror. No staircase so need to depend on the lift even if one can climb down to start one’s day quickly. But these points are outweighed by the positive points stated above, I would stay here again.

Loved the location- it's right outside the popular Ermou shopping street. Literally right in the middle of the action. The view of the Parthenon from our room was really great as well. The room was clean & bed was comfy. Everyone was super friendly. Lots of positives for this hotel! Would stay again.

The noise from the street could be a factor, but you get what you sign up for so just be aware! Also, I booked this hotel due to the rooftop restaurant, but was NOT notified that it was under construction during our stay. So that was disappointing. Maybe provide a note to the guests beforehand next time. The hole in the bathroom mirror was plugged with tissue... which looked really gross and unsanitary.

Location super convenient, really nice walking between places and if you need a moment to rest and recharge. Before heading out again. Amazing view of the Acropolis both during the day and night, we picked the Acropolis view room. Super quiet for being in the middle of the city at night.

The quality of the room, for what we paid for it, could be improved. We had breakfast included, but only had 2 out of 3 days, as we had to get up earlier for our flight. That's more our fault, though. Maybe the breakfast could start a little bit earlier, rather than 8 am.

Very friendly and helpful front desk staff.

Not easy to get picked up as Ermou is a pedestrian only street, and taxis are not allowed to stop in streets. But easy to walk or get the metro!

An excellent location, not far from the Parliament and not far from the Akropolis. Around the corner, a large number of eateries and a few supermarkets to buy little grosseries. The hotel supplied two small bottles of mineral water. There was a good arrangement for making tea/coffee. The good thing was the rooftop bar that gave an emasculated view of the Akropolis.

Slightly overpriced. However, given the location not surprising. I am sure I would get a room of a similar type for 2/3 of the price 2 km away, but perhaps not so secure.

Location , friendly stuff, modern rooms, love the rooftops, value I will stay again for sure

Nothing

This was a very reasonably priced hotel in the center of Athens. The rooms were large. The beds were comfortable. The air conditioning worked very very well, and the staff was super friendly and courteous. I've stayed in many hotels in the area and this is one of the best

As with most hotels in Greece, it's always an issue to use the elevators because only two people get another time but that's as a matter of the systems that are in place there. I also would've preferred breakfast to be a buffet.

The hotel is placed perfectly in the middle of Athens, which gives easy access to the most important historical and shopping sites. The staff is amazing and friendly, and is willing to help with any request. The rooms are perfectly cleaned and have all the necessities you might need. I'd like to specifically mention the restaurant staff's amazing attitude. The blonde woman (I don't know her name) who works there greeted us with a warm smile every morning and made us feel like home. The food was great and looked very appealing, and the view to Acropolis from the restaurant's window was very meditating. We will gladly return here in our next trip. Highly recommended.
