The Athenian Callirhoe

The hotel is a nice spot, strategically positioned for visiting the city center, whether you use the metro (just a few steps away) or walk towards the Acropolis. The rooms are spacious, the bathroom is well equipped, and there's space for those who need to work. Breakfast is varied but modest, with some Greek specialties and the usual international breakfast items. The restaurant is definitely one of the best in the hotel, with efficient, friendly staff, tasty and well-prepared food, and a view of the Acropolis. I had some trouble setting the room temperature; the thermostat didn't seem to allow me to achieve the exact climate I wanted. Breakfast and the lounge are adequate but a bit limited, with few options between savory and sweet. The hotel, at least on the nights I stayed, hosted many tourist groups, even for just one night, which caused some crowding in the breakfast area and the hotel corridors, where luggage service and cleaning were already in full swing from early morning, making it hard to sleep. The gym, one of the reasons I chose this place, turned out to be quite disappointing; it's a small basement room with outdated equipment and very little space, so I far preferred to go for a run outdoors.

The staff were very warm and welcoming. The location is great for the Acropolis, Plaka, the original Olympic Stadium, other historic sites, and easy access to the bus stop and city sightseeing tours. Rooftop Garden Dining was fantastic. The food, service, and view of the Parthenon were outstanding! No complaints.

The spot was spot on, but they hit us with a fee for stashing bags in the gym lockers and there was no porter service at all.

The view was gorgeous and the staff at both the hotel and the restaurant were super attentive, yet there was only one outlet in the whole room and it was far from the bed.

“Good hotel for a city break.”

The location was great, within walking distance of everything, and the staff were friendly and helpful; however, we booked a twin room but were handed a double on arrival, which the staff fixed quickly and pleasantly. We also booked an executive room with a balcony but it didn’t have one. The toaster broke during breakfast on two of the four days, and we had to ask for crockery and cutlery each day.
