We spent 2 nights at Ava before boarding our cruise ship. I can't imagine a more perfect place to stay! The location was ideal, could walk to all the major sites easily. It is on a small street with Hadrian's Arch at one end, and the Acropolis at the other. Our room was beautiful, clean, wonderfully decorated, and had everything... more

In September 2009, my wife and I spent five nights at the AVA hotel in Athens. Prior to arriving, the hotel was very responsive to our emailed questions. The AVA is a small hotel with an excellent location on a narrow street between Hadrian's Arch and the Acropolis, both of which can be seen from rooms with a balcony. We... more

What a great hotel. We booked on previous reviews here on Trip Advisor and it was spot on. We were upgraded to a renovated room #203. It had separate bedroom, living area and kitchenette, bathroom, & 2 tv's. Champagne & chocolates were a nice welcoming touch. The location in Plaka is the best.

Amazing staff - especially Maria and Iris on the front desk - they both recommended several... more

We read all the reviews before booking the AVA and amazingly they were all correct in the comments about this gem of a hotel. They have a philosophy to make sure every guest is treated like family. From the greeting by Stavos when we arrived in the evening from a long flight from LA to having arrangements for a price... more

All the previous reviews are "bang on". Great location -- easy walk from Syntagma square. The hotel is clean, well located in the Plaka, comfortable with very helpful staff. Nice breakfast. Everything as described. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others passing through Athens. Free internet access in the lobby for quick email updates. more

We travelled to attens with a group of friends and spent 3 nights at this hotel. Excellent food, staff and accommodation. The location of this hotel is perfect for visiting all the main tourist sites in Athens. Will defintely stay at the AVA Hotel the next time that we visit Athens. more

The service at this hotel was beyond excellent-the staff was the best I've met in years. We had 12 people in our group. At every moment the employees suggested great places to dine, which sites we should see and met our every expectation. One day a member of our group had his birthday - the staff even delivered us a... more
