    This is what you’re really getting

    A charming hotel with an excellent rooftop view of Acropolis. The breakfast selection is vast, featuring both Greek and international delights. The staff here provides exceptional assistance. they even packed breakfast boxes for us. A wonderful stay, though some guests experienced minor room quality issues. Don't miss the delicious cocktails from the rooftop bar!

    Family with children a nice place to stay

    We had breakfast every morning, and let me tell you, that spread was something else! The staff were attentive, just making sure you had everything you needed, really felt like I was taken care of. There was a rooftop bar with fine views.

    It wasn’t cheap, but honestly, it was still worth it.

    breathtaking views
    delightful breakfast
    flying insects
    room service

    The rooftop terrace stole the show for me, with breathtaking views of the Acropolis, especially during sunset. The breakfast spread was delightful. I loved the freshly made options and the warm, friendly staff made meals even more enjoyable. My room was clean, stylish, and equipped with quality amenities. I appreciated the thoughtful touches like the body milk moisturizer. However, the room had some flying insects, likely due to its proximity to the park, which was a bit off-putting. Also, a wider room service menu would add some great variety. Overall, it’s a lovely place to unwind, but some attention to minor details could enhance the experience further.

    The Modernist Athens features a stunning blend of modern and art deco design, with comfortable spaces that were easily accessible, ensuring a pleasant experience for seniors like myself during our stay.

    More seating in common areas would be helpful.

    This place was just a proper fit for a brief weekend stay in Athens with good value for cost. The views from the rooftop were stunning, really a highlight of the stay. Make sure to check out the rooftop at sunset for the best experience.

    risotto
    rooftop bar
    friendly staff
    limited storage
    small hangers

    The risotto at breakfast was a delight, bursting with flavors that took me straight to culinary heaven! Plus, the rooftop bar—perfect for evening cocktails with a killer view—was a real treat. Not to mention the friendly staff who seemed to genuinely care about making my stay memorable.

    Now, about that closet situation—it's a bit of a jam when you've got larger luggage and minimal hangers. Not everyone’s a solo traveler, right? Still, it didn’t take away from the stay's charm, but some extra storage would shine brighter.

    Couldn't recommend more for a two-day stay

    Spacious room, lovely bathroom, with an enjoyable view of the sea from my little balcony and a relaxing roof terrace where you can sip cocktails until late at night.

    Nothing, all was good.

    stunning terrace
    friendly staff
    limited amenities
    poor view

    The rooftop terrace offered stunning views, making it a perfect spot for cocktails. The staff were friendly, especially at the reception, which enhanced the stay. However, the room received was not what was booked, and it faced a less appealing view. Additionally, the amenities were limited, with only a small gym available. Despite the hotel’s positives, such discrepancies overshadowed the experience.

    breakfast buffet
    rooftop deck
    breakfast variety

    We had a fabulous time with a lovely breakfast buffet each morning and spent afternoons lounging on the beautiful rooftop deck. The jacuzzi was perfect for unwinding after a busy day, making our stay extra special. Just a little more variety in the fruit at breakfast would be nice, but overall, it was a fantastic getaway. 😊
