A Lovely Stay
Lovely stay. Our room with a direct view of the Acropolis. Rooftop restaurant was wonderful. Staff in reception and in restaurant were all pleasant and helpful. It's a very small hotel and you can't drive right up to the door but neither of those were a problem for us. The location is literally right on Monastiraki Square which is lively deep into the night which, again, was not a problem for us as we use earplugs and sleep deeply but could be a problem if sensitive to noise.

A For Athens is an A+ !!
Hotel was amazing with views of Acropolis and Monastiraki Square. Would recommend booking a room with a view. It is well worth it. Friendly and informative staff. Tourist hot spots well within walking distance. Coffee shops and eateries nearby. Hotel Breakfast was included and had local pastries and plenty of other options for even the pickiest eater. The hotel was clean, modern and accessible. It has a unique elevator. Would recommend!

Stay for the rooftop views!
Our stay at A for Athens was excellent. The location was perfect for seeing the major sites and very close to the metro station. The rooftop bar/restaurant was beautiful with the most amazing view, great breakfast served there each morning as well. The room was comfortable, minimal, modern aesthetic. The staff was very friendly. Note that the elevator is extremely tiny, we had small carry-ons so it wasn’t an issue. But be aware of that if you plan to bring large luggage and/or cannot take the stairs.

Overall the hotel is very nice. Some of the rooms and their rooftop restaurant have an amazing view of the Acropolis. However it is very noisy and what we didn’t know is the restaurant plays very loud music all evening and into the early morning. When you have an early flight it doesn’t allow for much sleep time.

We stayed here for our last night in Athens. It was a perfect hotel in which to spend our last night. The rooftop bar/restaurant was just the best. Room was spacious and bed was comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

All the Hotels in this part of town are kind of quirky and this one is no exception, but the hotel staff was super friendly, the room was clean and you just can't beat the location for shopping, restaurants, easy access to taxis, easy access to the Metro and the Acropolis is only a 10-15 minute walk away.

Upon arrival we were treated with friendly and quick staff. Our room was very spacious and clean. We had 3 water bottles in room waiting for us. Breakfast had good variety and was delicious. Croissants, sausages, veggies, eggs, and more. The area itself is right across the metro. A few stores, coffee shops and lots of souvenir shops. When we were checking out, we had to leave quite earlier to catch a train and the hotel had prepared breakfast to go bags for us. That was so thoughtful! Would love to stay here longer. Also there are 2 pharmacies literally around the corner which was great because we needed some forgotten stuff from home. Really recommended staying here. Oh and they're rooftop bar where you have your breakfast is upstairs where it over looks the city and Acropolis!! Breathtaking view!
