Athens Studios

We were traveling with our adult daughter and Son-in-law and needed two rooms for one night. We booked two budget twin rooms. It was important to us that the hotel offer luggage storage in the morning after checkout time. We could not have been happier with the location of the hotel as it was easy walking distance to the Acropolis, museum and lively Plaka area. We had a wonderful and fun dinner at Scholarchio. The rooms were small but clean and fine. The 24 hr reception staff was helpful. The included breakfast was good. We were happy!

Positive: The location near the Acropolis is great. One of the service staff at the buffet was very friendly and even smiled. Negative: There's absolutely no storage space in the room, not even a single hook in the bathroom. Just a small sink. Impossible for three women with cosmetics or for families, etc. The so-called breakfast buffet is the worst I've ever seen. It's set up outside the hotel on the street. Minimal selection. The coffee tastes disgusting. I recommend going to the local bakery and getting fresh coffee and breakfast there. Breakfast is absolutely no reason to choose this hotel. The reception is staffed, but completely indifferent. No hello. No thank you. No please. No "I'm glad you were here." The women just stare at their phones and ignore the guests. Unfortunately, the rest of the staff seemed very annoyed. Since I'm often in Athens, I can only recommend finding another option; there are numerous good hotels in the city. This one definitely isn't one of them. + Fair enough...thanks for getting back. I really appreciate that.

Stayed here with 4 friends as one was rubbing the marathon in November. The staff here are super friendly and location is perfect. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are visiting as a group. Breakfast is basic but enough to get you going.

To call this a 4-star hotel is misleading. This is more of a hostel with an upgrade, perhaps a 3-star hotel if we are really pushing it. The rooms are very small, pretty bare bones, but there is a mini fridge, decent AC, and a small smart TV. The elevator is also microscopic so you might as well walk. Breakfast was decent, but you eat outside on a covered patio (rain or shine), so consider time of year (October is comfortable). Location is central, but Athens is generally a very busy city and this area in particular can feel overwhelming.

Extremely overpriced for what you get. The rooms are spacious, but that’s the only positive. The bed is uncomfortable, the shower has no pressure (possibly clogged) and takes ages to warm up. The worst part is the breakfast: very poor quality, and the coffee machine is downright disgusting. The only real advantage is the location.

Bait and switch. Room looked nothing like the website photos. We asked the desk attendant about this and he nervously half explained that the rooms were from the website and not what was onsite necessarily. What??!!|We also pulled up the website and showed him a room with a balcony for less than what we were charged. He said that prices change. Yeah I get that but look at our picture with the sparseness and stained gross blanket and tell me it was worth more than a room with a balcony. |The advertised rooftop bar is at a different location 4+ blocks away. Didn’t see that explained anywhere. |Gave 2 stars for good location and good breakfast.|Pros: good location, good breakfast

We had a double room for one night and it served that purpose. The staff were friendly and the best service ever for checking in - we arrived 9:30 am and were able to go straight to the room and sleep off our very tired overnight flight. Many thanks for this! ||The room was basic, the bed comfy enough, the shower facilities good enough. The lift was very small but again, for one night, we coped. ||The restaurant right next door to the entrance made a great dinner for us - chicken n chips, large salad! Very tasty and plenty of it.

Athens Studios is an incredible find! I can't recommend it enough! It is walking distance to Acropolis, shopping and dining. The rooms are spacious and incredibly clean. Everything appears to have been recently updated and made our stay very comfortable. We arrived early and they were able to hold our bags until our room was available. We stayed three nights and then returned for another night after visiting Santorini and Naxos prior to our flight home. We used the laundry facilities which were an added bonus. The breakfast was delicious and fresh. We felt very safe and slept well. It was a great "home base" for us while exploring Athens!
