A fabulous hotel in the wonderful city of Athens

What a wonderful stay I had at The Modernist Hotel, it’s super stylish, really well located and easy to get to all the major sights, an amazing and very friendly young staff, from reception, the cafe and the bar, the cleaning staff, and crowning it all a fantastic roof top bar where you can drink looking at wonderful views of Athens. I’m definitely coming back there again next year.

Lovely, well kept modern hotel in a lovely residential neighborhood. Some sights are walking distance and a Metro stop is right nearby. The thermostat control is obtuse—didn’t seem to work the same way two days in a row. Front desk can set it remotely. Breakfasts are substantial.

There are many excellent things about the Modernist Athens: design (clean-cut black and white), transport and location (walkable to the major sites/museums and also two minutes from a Metro stop and bus lines that can take you straight into the centre and to the airport), great breakfast (both cooked options and good buffet variety), rooftop bar (with a view of the Acropolis), and free daily wine tastings and Pilates/yoga sessions. But the best thing: the staff. Welcoming, gracious, good humoured and attentive without overdoing it. Perfect.

Terrific, inventive, fun place, great roof terrace with DJ, very nice room, absolutely delightful staff and a great breakfast. Had been staying at an upmarket boutique hotel. Our flight home was cancelled after three hours on the tarmac and we scrambled to find a hotel for the night. Thrilled that we stumbled on the Modernist. Would definitely stay again. A great experience and a great value.

Friendly staff. Great location walkable to nice bars and restaurants. Good breakfast. Nice rooftop. Unfortunately, the bathroom is not practical. Water goes everywhere when you are having a shower because there is no tray, door or curtain. Window in the room was not accessible because it was above the bed frame.
