Acropolis House

Staff were all very kind and helpful. I enjoyed 4 nights here. I had two mornings where I left early and I was made a to go breakfast slightly varied each day as well. Plentiful breakfast as well when having it at the breakfast room. I absolutely loved the figs! I would go back in a heart beat if in Athens again. The ac worked fabulously. I stayed in a double room in what I think is the older part of the house up a spiral staircase. I believe the room was 105. The bathroom was nice and separate from the room by an extra door. The room was spacious and had a fridge and closet with extra blankets. Housekeeping was helpful if I told them I needed another shampoo or if I wanted to rest in the room and didn’t really need the room cleaned every day. Brochures available in the lobby. You leave your key at the front desk every time you leave the house but this didn’t present a problem. I think you were to be back into the room by 10pm but this didn’t present a problem for me at all. Checking in late May present a problem I would reach out to the hotel Prior to booking if you will arrive after 10pm. Walkable to everything you want to see! I absolutely loved Athens except for the 90 degree temps and so I kinda hid in the room in the middle of the day and that worked quite well as it was a spacious room with great ac!

We arrived in Athens late at night without a place to stay. After taking the bus into the city, we were lucky to find Acropolis House just a few hundred meters from the drop-off point. We walked in around 4 AM, and thankfully, the reception is open 24/7.||The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, helping us check in at that late hour without any issues. We originally booked two nights but ended up extending our stay because we were so happy with everything.||The location is perfect—right in the heart of Athens, close to everything. The rooms are great value for money, breakfast was very good, and the absolute highlight was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Highly recommended!

I booked this hotel for 2 nights as my accommodation was full. I checked in on Saturday night around 5pm and I can confirm that they have a 24 hour reception. The hotel building is a very old building, first of all, you should accept this. They have an average price of 100EUR per night including breakfast. The lady who I think is the owner of the hotel is a kind person. But the Albanian lady who works there is a wonderful person. He is my favorite. There is another male employee during the day but I have no comment on him, he was respectful. As for the rooms, I stayed in room 302. The bathroom was very, very small and the shower was separated by a shower curtain. Especially after a shower, it is almost impossible to use the bathroom. The floors are incredibly wet, there is nothing to dry, towels are not enough to keep the floor dry. Without an outside window, the fan is not enough and it doesn't dry on its own. There is no shower tray or even a restricted shower area. The ground is solid and flat. Breakfast was good, same every day but good. If you count the hot varieties, there is maybe only one boiled egg. I think they could offer a different hot dish every day. But the products were of good quality and served very neatly. Breakfast includes fruit juice, tea and filter coffee. Fruit juice is unlimited from the machine. They can hold the luggage until the time you want. The location of the hotel is very central and in a safe area. You will not have the slightest problem. Close to historical places, very close to Syntagma metro stop. There is no hair dryer in the rooms. This doesn't make much sense to me, but it may be that in Greece they don't usually have them in hotels of this caliber. They didn't mention any tax addition to the total price, I think they include it. I can't say there is a lobby or a common area, there is a very, very small seating group, but I haven't seen anyone sitting yet and it is in a ramshackle place under the stairs. The doors of the rooms do not close properly and I did not need it as I was traveling alone, but it is not suitable for a loud activity. To be honest, the bed itself was comfortable, although the bed frame was old. There is often street noise at night, so if you are disturbed, you may not be able to sleep. There is a possibility.

Great location. Needs some renovation. Building next to it is half finished and from what it seems, it has been like that for some time. Decent breakfast for 2 stars hotel. No elevator.

Great location, friendly staff. Rooms are plain but are plenty nice to stay in with AC. They do not accept card for payment - which was a shock surprise mentioned to us on night 3 of our stay. With that being our only payment option we had access to, we were forced to create a PayPal to cover the fee. Feels deceptive to bring that up during the stay when the website had us reserve the room with credit card....

The room is small and looking at the neighbours wall, piles of shoe boxes out side our room... But Hosts are nice and welcoming, breakfast is nice.

Very friendly, beautiful old house in the Plaka (but not a noisy area), 10 mins walk from Acropolis which we could see from our window. The lady who runs (and owns it) is very friendly and a wonderful source of knowledge. Very good value. Outstanding!

In 2025, all houses and hotels are identical: they all have the same furniture, the same facilities, the same sheets. Everything is standardized and almost always Ikea. Acropolis House is old, it has grandmother's wallpaper, an old juke box and above all it's been run by the same family since the 1960s. It's an authentic and beautiful place: a true piece of Athens' history and trueness. If you're tired of sleeping in "cozy" and standardized houses from Lisbon to Istanbul, then this is the perfect place for you too. The family that runs it is wonderfully kind and hospitable.
