A for Athens – Aþena

From the moment we walked in the door at 'A for Athens' the service we received was very welcoming, helpful, and friendly. Our room was very good and was located on the 5th floor with its own private very large balcony with direct views up to the Acropolis and down onto the town square below. (It was a little hot to be outdoors enjoying the balcony until sundown unfortunately). The facilities within the room very very comfortable and reasonably spacious. The service was excellent. The top floor outdoor restaurant and food (incl breakfast was really lovely and plentiful). The only downside to our room was that it was directly below the restaurant which, at night, becomes a cocktail bar as well and it became quite noisy with chairs scraping on the floor above our heads until 1am and started again with breakfast prep at 5am. the location was brilliant and handy to the attractions and markets. We would definitely stay here again.

This hotel was amazing! It was across the street from the flea markets and restaurants, and within walking distance to the Acropolis and Sintagma Square. The hotel has a beautiful rooftop bar with free breakfast and view of the Acropolis. The area is lively and a bit noisy for those that are light sleepers, but I didn't mind it! The beds are comfortable and nice showers!!

I enjoyed staying at A for Athens as it was convenient for my stay and it was close to the metro. It was one line directly from the airport and it was priced right for what I was looking for. A huge plus was the rooftop bar with the view.

The hotel staff go beyond what is required of them, everyone was very nice and helpful. The room had an awesome view, was spacious and very clean. The main issue I had was since it was directly under the bar the music and chairs sliding across the floor until 2-3 a.m. combined with the drum circles outside made it very difficult to sleep. Great for folks going out not so good for people trying to sleep. I would stay here again if I was going to be participating in Athens night life and staying out late but it was not a good choice for a family stay with a 6 year old.

We loved A for Athens and can't believe we didn't know about the view from the rooftop restaurant ahead of time! I don't know how we missed that! Eating breakfast with that view of the Acropolis was amazing! Although, we went at night and service was REALLY bad (waited 30 minutes for a second drink so didn't get one), so it's nice to stay at the hotel and have the access and privacy during breakfast (which was also great). The staff was nice and helpful and the rooms were perfect. The only complaint is that our room faced the street and it was definitely loud and woke us up almost every night. Luckily we can fall back to sleep quickly... I also am not sure if the noise was from the street or from the rooftop.
