Amazing location central to everything, 2 mins walk to acropolis entrance/acropolis museum, 5 mins walk to temple of zeus/national gardens, 10 mins walk to panathenaeic stadium, amazing restaurants couple mins walk in plaka neighbourhood (scholario is our favourite) 10 mins to monastiraki and the city centre. So glad we decided to stay here and would recommend to anyone

Did get quite noisy in the morning, doors are quite thin. Take earplugs if you are a light sleeper

The location of the hotel is absolutely perfect for exploring the ancient sites. All close by and accessible on foot. I never needed any bus or taxi. The view from my balcony was amazing, gazing upon the southern side of the Acropolis. The hotel is very clean and the facilities are great. There is a rooftop terrace also, with tables and seating, along with panoramic views all around. Breathtaking!

The only minus, and it's not really a minus, is the nature of the busy location means there is a lot going on in the morning. Deliveries and bin wagons etc, which makes it noisy sometimes. Personally, I like the sound of a busy city, so it didn't bother me.

Location is excellent! The hotel is right next to the Placa District, which is where the majority of souvenir shopping can be done. It was very close to both the Acropolis tour and many other tours for example, the walking food tour that we booked through get your guide. It is nice to have 24 hour concierge staff as well. Taxis cannot really get directly to the hotel, there is a major street only block away, which is very easy to get a cab. The view from the rooftop was nice and you can’t eat breakfast there although I would recommend going to a different restaurant.

The hotel charges for breakfast. It is seven euros, which is not unreasonable although the breakfast was rather mediocre and I would’ve preferred to either. Just get a cup of coffee somewhere or gone for a different restaurant, which is the location in the city. The furnishings were rather dated and we found one of the electrical outlets did not work. The major complaint I have is that the bed was extraordinarily uncomfortable and caused me to have significant back pain (I will note that this is not normally a problem I have).

Location is perfect if visiting Athens. We could see the Acropolis from our terrace and less than 10min walk to it's southern entrance. We had a standard double room which was on the smallish side but perfectly adequate if travelling light (we just had cabin size luggage). Bed was comfortable and the apartment clean and ensuite was functional. Syntagma Metro station is a 10min walk away and from there you have direct access to Athens Airport. Plenty of really nice cafes, bars and restaurants nearby. The staff were great both friendly and helpful. Room facilties on the light side but in terms of location and value for money it is top notch!

There was no tea or coffee making facility but in fairness reflected in the price.

Perfect Location & Great Value for Money We had a fantastic stay at the Phaedra Hotel in Athens! The location couldn’t be better—right next to the Acropolis and nestled in the beautiful winding streets filled with shops, bars, and restaurants. Despite being so close to the action, the hotel is just far enough away from the bars to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep. It’s also ideally situated for sightseeing, with the Hop-on Hop-off bus stop just a short walk away, making it easy to explore both the city and the beach routes. The hotel itself is simple but does the job perfectly. It’s clean, comfortable, and excellent value for money. What really stood out, though, was the staff—so friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We’ll definitely be returning to Athens, and when we do, Phaedra Hotel will be our go-to place to stay! Highly recommended.

Struggling for a negative but there a no tea & coffee facilities in the room and the walls are thin but I'm being picky.

Location

Bedroom was extra small but we didn’t spend much time there so didn’t really matter. Maybe an upgrade bedroom to look more polished. We just had a sheet over. Maybe a light pretty blanket would look more modern. A old painting from the market against a wall to make it look more homey..small, affordable changes can definitely ‘up’ the hotel. Maybe consider a day shower for guests checking out late. ( like they have in airport lounges) Charge a small amount to use facilities when picking up bags to shower before heading to the airport for an international flight. Just an idea…..

The location is wonderful! You are on one of the busy tourist streets, lined with shops and restaurants, as soon as you exit the hotel. I also liked how close it was to get to the pickup locations for our excursions and activities. We also loved the staff! Everyone was so kind and helpful. And the view of the Acropolis from the balcony was exactly as pictured on this listing! There is also a rooftop where you can enjoy the views.

VERY MINOR - our bathroom was private and only for our use (required key to access), but it was external, as advertised on this room listing. I didn't understand what that meant, so that's my fault! The bathroom was across the hall, which took some getting used to, but it was still kept clean and very comfortable for us. No major complaints!

staff were lovely and the rooftop is beautiful. so close to attractions and plenty of food options, never had to walk too far. close to metro & touristy shops too! it was perfect for a short term stay and i would definitely stay here again.

keys are super big and heavy, so when you enter your room, the keys knock heavily against the door. i was woken up SO many times through the night to people carelessly letting their heavy keys bang against the doors. i understand it’s probably so people don’t take the keys with them but hearing loud banging in the halls through the night is a bit scary when you don’t realise what it is at first!

Wow what a location!!!! We were so impressed with this hotel. The location is amazing on a really lovely square and just minutes from the acropolis and plaka. Our balcony overlooked the church and was really cute. The best thing was the roof- unbeatable views!! And so nice that you could take (the really cheap 7 euro breakfast) onto the roof. They provide a tray for you and it’s a front row seat to the acropolis- without the cost of the fancy roof top restaurant. The whole place is brilliant value for money and so convenient.

This isn’t a fancy hotel, the rooms are basic but it is clean and a great location. The breakfast could have more variety but I think great value and having on the roof is so special. I’d stay again and will be recommending to anyone new to Athens that’s wants to be central to all the sights

The location is amazing, you can literally walk everywhere

The location, the reception female lady was very helpful and kind. She is always ready to advise on things to do. I appreciate her time and efforts.
