Acropolis House

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, 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....

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!

Perfect location for a semi-solo stay in Athens (daugher was travelling on after 2 days). In the heart of Plaka with all restaurants around. Very warm & welcoming family running it - including helping me with Greek, and providing huge breakfasts including beautiful honey cake every morning (just sorry I don't each much for breakfast).|We had the family room - 403 - and the lack of the lift was more than made up for by a terrace with views over a very quiet little street on side and the Acropolis out of the hall window on the other!|Thank you - I hope to be able to return!

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.

The communication with Mrs. Emmanuelle was fantastic, she has cancelled our booking with no storno fee just a day ahead of our stay. Our flight was unfortunately cancelled due to strike in Greece. We are planning to make the reservation with this hotel again, once we book new flights.

The hotel is quaint andfull of character and is in a really convenient part of Athens so that you can walk to all of the main sights. The reception were very nice and booked taxis for us to the Ktel bus station for Delphi and for the airport. It was very hot while we were there and we were glad to have airconditioning
