Top 4 Luxury Hotels in Athens

This is the best hotel in Athens with a long history, splendid decoration and meticulous maintenance. The location is located in Syntagma Square in the center of the city. It is convenient to walk to various attractions in the city. The rooftop garden restaurant on the roof is the best place to enjoy the delicious food and beautiful scenery of the Acropolis. It's a pity that the room allocated to us just faces the Cigar Lounge downstairs, and the thick smoke smell has also soaked into the private bedding in the room over the years. We couldn't stand it. We called the front desk and only sent a lady to the scene , She returned as soon as she understood the situation. We waited quietly for no further information, and then called the front desk an hour later to ask for a room change. Then another person said why you didn't tell us, that person was just a cleaning lady. We really don't know who she is, we just know that she was sent to solve the problem, but after waiting for an hour, the front desk didn't send anyone again, so we had to contact Ctrip. Ten minutes later, the front desk called to agree to upgrade the room. In addition, the air in the new room with street view is fresh, but the sound insulation is not good, and the sound of cars is noisy all night.

The Dolli aspires to be the most luxurious hotel in Athens. However, the Daily rate is very important, in line with some of the main European cities, not corresponding to a standard and service of the international hotel industry to which the structure aims to belong. The size of a big deluxe is quite too small, rather the size of the 4-stars graceful metres are returned. The garden is too small, there is little space for baggage, forced to leave baggage on the floor. I stayed in the hotel 2 times and the junior suite, absolutely different level, though personally, I like to have a closet in the room rather than the outdoor clothes. The location is central, too, rather in the centre of the most commercial part of Athens, characterized by the less sofisticated shops and restaurants of the tourists who are unknown to the best spots in the city, The decor is very soft and very sophisticated. The bathrooms and all furnishings are beautiful. The hotel is very small and is more close to a 4-star boutique hotel than a luxurious 5-star boutique hotel. The hotel is located in the elevator, just 2 people, I understand that it is from a historic palace, but it is a little tight, a little empathical service. A little with that world of self-referency and disgrace that doesn't make you feel happy guests

The location is great and some of the staff are too (was made to feel invisible on more than one occasion). if you’re expecting to have that moment of relief when you finally collapse on your bed following a tiring journey, this isn’t the place. I travel a lot and don’t mind paying premium prices but not for a less than ordinary room which this hotel is. I received an upgrade but even this resembled a poorly decorated worn out living room… not worth the money.

When I was younger, I spent two weeks in Greece to visit various places on the Peloponnese peninsula, but up until this year, I had never been to Athens before. I am someone who likes to explore places, and I often do not have day by day plans - but the one thing that is always important for me is a good base, a place to come back to in the late afternoon or evening to relax. I generally am not into nightlife, so I usually spend evenings in my accommodation - so I try to make sure to book a good place. I was tempted to go for a cheaper option, but after the last few years and all the stress, I decided to treat myself. Why earn all that money if I don’t use it right? I spent nine days in the Academias Hotel in Athens. I chose it because the location seemed ideal on a map. Fortunately, the reality also was not a disappointment. I visited the Acropolis a couple of times. It takes about 20-30 minutes to walk there, but I also saw that there are bus connections if you do not like to walk (I LOVE walking, because you also get to see more of the places and can sometimes come across interesting shops, parks, etc.). I could go on about places that are within easy reach, but you’re probably more interested in the hotel itself! The check-in was easy and I felt very welcome. There wasn’t a grumpy staff member in sight (hotel staff in certain places in the UK could learn from that friendliness!). I tried to impress with my few sentences of Greek that I learned, but fortunately, staff in this hotel has no problem with other languages. Not once during my stay did I have an issue with staff. They were all polite and respectful. The big plus for me also was that they did not annoy me. Friendly yes, but they did not make me feel harassed like it can happen in other hotels. While I did obviously check out photos of the hotel in advance before I booked, I was pleasantly surprised by my room (I booked a room with a king-sized bed). Everything was very clean, and there were BOOKS on the shelves. That was really a nice touch, I think. The bathroom was HUGE, and let me tell you: the showers are awesome. You’ll really appreciate a good shower after an active day in Athens, especially in summer! It was lovely! The room was nice and I had lots of space.The writing desk was perfect because I’m a writer and always in need of such a space! There was even a nice little coffee machine. Of course, also the usual stuff like a TV (with Netflix access!), shampoos, all the stuff you’d expect from a high quality hotel. The hotel has a lot to offer in addition to your actual room. There is a gym (I didn’t use that, I didn’t go on holiday to work out) and also a spa if you are into that. Worth a mention is the food as well. There’s a great restaurant with excellent views - and the food is just as excellent, which makes this a wonderful eating experience. Breakfast was also excellent, I really can’t complain. If you feel like trying something else, there are also plenty of restau
