Electra Palace Athens

"CLEAN ROOM AND GOOD BREAKFEST"

The Pinnacle Athens

10/10 Excellent

"Thank you for such a lovely and memorable stay at The Pinnacle Hotel Athens. Even before I arrived, the staff was already reaching out to see how they could support me and help make my stay special, offering airport transfer options and full concierge services. By the time I arrived, I already felt a genuine connection with the team. I arrived much earlier than check-in time, and Dimi was incredibly kind and welcoming. He greeted me warmly, completed my check-in, and offered a complimentary coffee and croissant upon arrival. When I was ready to explore the neighborhood, he provided me with a map and a list of basic Greek words to help me connect with the locals, and he kept me informed about when my room would be ready. When I settled in, the suite itself was absolutely lovely. The layout was comfortable and inviting, and it was the perfect place for a short stay. The location is ideal, with everything within easy reach. The entire staff, including George and Panos, were truly wonderful, attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in ensuring that I was well cared for. It was a pleasure to feel so welcomed and to experience Greek hospitality in such a warm and personal way. I would gladly return and look forward to recommending it to others. "

Niche Hotel Athens

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Niche Hotel. The view of the Acropolis was good from the room. The staff was great and allowed us to store our luggage after checkout while we toured the Acropolis and went to a wine bar. The rooftop restuarant was very good both for dinner and breakfast. The veiw from the restuarant was perfect."
