“Can't beat the location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2011
3
people found this review helpful

My wife and I spent 3 nights in October in the Acropolis View Hotel. It is nothing fancy but for the price we were paying (70 Euros) we didn't expect the Ritz. What we got was a nice, clean room in a hotel that had an unbeatable location. We asked for a room with a view of the Acropolis and did we ever get that. We could sit on our balcony and have a perfect view of the Parthenon. The breakfast buffet was also not fancy but it was fine for us. If you are looking for an affordable hotel near the Acropolis (less than 5 minute walk) that also has a view, this is the place for you.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on the front of the hotel to get a view of the Acropolis.

“Great location, helpful staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2011

Located only about 5 minutes walk from Acropolis entrance, it was really convenient for us, since we could just walk back after all the sightseeing. The staff at the hotel were very helpful. Great service. My sister and I were travelling from Athens to Olympia and then to Delphi and returning to Athens. So they agreed to keep some of our stuff with them. Mostly chocolates we had bought in Belgium. This was great, and was very nice of them.

“Mixed feelings”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

This is as close to the Acropolis as you will probably find a hotel: both the Acropolis and the Filopappou hill are right at the doorstep, the New Acropolis museum in walking distance. A 10 minute stroll across the foot of the Acropolis hill takes you right to the Roman Agora and the heart of Monasteraki. Excellent access to public transport: the terminus bus stop of line 230 is just around the corner of the hotel. This bus 230 takes you to Syntagma and on to Panepistimiou, a stone’s throw away from Omonia. The Acropoli metro station is in walking distance and one more block down the road from there is the bus stop for the bus to Sounion (no need to go up to the Syntagma bus stop or the departure terminal at Plateia Aigyptou – make sure to buy your ticket before getting on the bus).

This 4-story hotel is a standard 3-star Greek hotel: small reception desk, comfortable lobby, small open bar, the open breakfast room behind the lobby. Small elevator.
The people at the reception desk are friendly except for an older stern man who would sometimes be on night duty.

The rooms are small. The furniture is dated and worn-out. The bathroom is small, the shower cabin even smaller, but offers all standard amenities: soap, shampoo, tissue paper, hair dryer. Towels (one large and one small per guest) are of good quality, sparkling white and are changed daily.

We had a huge hot water problem (it was mid-November and very cold): most often the hot water was little more than a drip. On the fifth morning of our stay, there was no hot water at all. The receptionist told us that the technician would come the same day to solve the problem. In the evening we did have hot water sufficiently, but the next morning again there was no hot water. When settling the bill upon leaving, we received a discount to compensate for the hot water problem.
We were on the fourth floor; guests staying on the second floor did not have the problem. The second floor being full, we could not change rooms to that floor.

A sliding patio door (double: one glass and one wooden shade door) gives access to a comfortable terrace with two chairs (no table). We had our room at the back of the hotel. Being on the fourth floor, we looked right over the small street below onto the pleasant greenery of the Filopappou hill. The tourist bus parking for the Acropolis is just across the street, behind the trees: you cannot see it from the terrace and as it was winter and very cold, we always had the terrace door closed, so we were not disturbed by the noise.

There is plenty of cupboard space (hangers and shelves) and drawers.

The walls are paper-thin: it’s not only you hear your neighbors talking, you can actually understand what they are saying. One night we were woken up by people talking. We thought they were standing in the hall right at our door. When we opened the door, nobody was there: it turned out it was our neighbors talking in the room next to ours.

The room is very clean: because of lack of space, we placed our suitcases underneath the beds and even there did not find one single speck of dust.

The buffet style breakfast is nothing fancy but there is sufficient choice for all tastes: one kind of cheese and one kind of ham, cornflakes and muesli, milk and delicious Greek yoghurt, different kinds of breads, boiled eggs, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, two kinds of jam, honey, butter, and three types of cake: chocolate cake, orange cake (very good) and vanilla-chocolate cake with icing, coffee (both filter and instant), and a large selection of teas and herbal teas.
The tables in the breakfast room are pretty close to each other, not leaving enough room to be really comfortable, to my taste.

It was very cold when we were there: 11° with a nasty north wind. We asked for additional blankets which came 3 nights later (the extra clothes hangers we requested were delivered immediately). The heating worked perfectly well.

The roof top terrace offers a splendid unobstructed and close-up view of the Parthenon. Unfortunately it was too cold to enjoy the view for long. Our room was on the top floor (just beneath the roof top terrace) and we could very well hear people walking on the roof: admitting that is was very cold and people were wearing heavy footwear, it still might be a problem in summer when people stay on the terrace late at night, having drinks and talking.

Would I stay here again? The location of this hotel is so good I probably would, but not on the fourth floor, and I would use earplugs.

Room Tip: Fourth floor rooms might have noise problems from the rooftop terrace and hot water supply problems.

“Ideal location for Acropolis excursions”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

The small hotel is ideally located as it is only about 5 minutes walk from Acropolis entrance and ten minutes from Acropolis museum. However, view to Acropolis was not possible from our room, but only from the roof terrace.

Room was small, sufficiently equipped, clean, however, sort of "used" and talks between other guests could be overheard. Bathroom with a "taped" lamp.

Breakfast was good and sufficient. Personnel friendly and helpful, English speaking.
