Acropolis City Life BH
Athens

Location right off of Ermou (on the same street as The Little Kook Cafe that was all decked out for Halloween - so fun!), a block from Monastiraki Square and metro station; small boutique hotel with tasteful and modern decor and a rooftop deck with a clear view of the Acropolis; room and bathroom were spacious; hotel staff were excellent (Evie, Christina, Evangelo, kitchen staff) and really went above and beyond - they arranged for earlier breakfast to be served when we had an early excursion, researched logistical info for an outdoor concert we were attending and also transit options to the port and train station - we could not have asked for anything more from them; breakfast was beyond what we expected each morning and in a lovely breakfast area - bacon, eggs, potatoes, pastries/bread/bagels, cereals, fruit, yogurt, selection of charcuterie meats and cheeses and fixings, juices/teas/coffee, fridge with water was always available for self-serve.

Love the location. Loved the breakfast!! Close to so many restaurants and the places we had to meet for our food and history tours, Love the square and all the shops that were there. So much to look at. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who's going to be going to Athens in the future.

April 2025 We had reservations beginning April 9th, 2025 but the Greek air traffic controllers went on strike so our flight from Seattle was cancelled, and we couldn’t get another one for two days. We contacted Acropolis City Life to cancel our reservation and they refused. Acropolis City Life said simply “declined” and stiffed us out of more than $1000. We made two requests and they refused to help us at all. All our tours and dinner reservations cancelled with understanding, but Acropolis City Life wouldn’t even talk to us. Incredibly unethical.

The hotel - which is very good located - has a fantastic calming atmosphere. This wonderful atmosphere is because of the enormous heart of the owner and the exceptionally helpful staff. We enjoyed the breathtaking view from the roof, the delicious breakfasts, coffee with almond/soy/rice milk, thank you for it :), the clean and cosy rooms, and that the receptionists had always some kind words and a smile to us. Unfortunately we had to go to the hospital. The helpfulness and the support from the owner Vangelis and the whole staff was amazing and much more than I could write it in words

We stayed there only for one night and it definitely served the purpose. The room was clean and had all the necessities. We were able to leave our luggage at the hotel after the checkout and explore the city until our flight. The location was very convenient and we had everything we needed nearb

The hotel was a fabulous new place, very well designed and in an incredible location. It was a minute walk from the Plaka and 3 minutes to the train station. The Acropolis was a 10 minute walk. The staff was so friendly and helpful and went out of their way to help us with anything we needed. They found out ticket prices for us, booked us a van to the port, recommended restaurants. They had a fabulous breakfast area and tea, coffee water and snacks were available all day free of charge. The hotel is air conditioned which in the heat was great. There is a terrace on the top level with great views of the Acropolis and surrounding areas. Christina, Constantina and Vangelos were absolutely some of the nicest hard working staff we have encountered in our many years of travel. Try this very reasonably priced hotel. You will not be disappointed!

We enjoyed the genuine warmth and kindness from the staff; they ensured that we were always comfortable and were happy to assist in anything. Kristina took care of our luggage and the other staff members were equally helpful. We were excited that the hotel is central located to great sights and restaurants. Our suite had an amazing view of the Acropolis and the room was spacious. Overall, we highly recommend this hotel for its location and wonderful staff!

This quaint boutique hotel is the best place to stay in Athens! The staff are most helpful, rooms are very nice, comfortable and on a quiet little street. Convenient location and very walkable to everywhere. Thank you fir making our first trip to Athens very comfortable and friendly!!!

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. And I want to begin by talking about the service and staff here. From the moment I walked in, the welcome was so warm, I felt right at home (Thank you Christina). And every interaction with the reception (including chats with Christina, Evi and Evangelos who is the owner/manager) was SO friendly. They're all just so nice and human. Even the brief encounters with the breakfast staff and the housekeeping staff were extremely pleasant. The most overwhelming moment was after I asked Christina to research a local bakery for me where they sell specific type of cookies, she asked for an hour to get me the info and an hour later, instead of the info, she had BOUGHT a box of cookies for me. No charge! This is service like no other and SUPER nice of her. The room is nicely sized, the furniture and decor is minimalistic but artistic with a few large mirrors (which is always a treat), a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. The bathroom is well-designed and has all the things you need (including a hairdryer), and the rain shower is great (also nice and hot). Their breakfast is more than adequate (only suggestion would be to keep veggie stuff away from meaty stuff, because when it's in the same food warmer, it feels contaminated). But the best thing here is that all the cakes and pastries, juices and yogurts, water and coffee machine etc are available all day long for guests to help themselves. This is a rarity in any hotel - and such a wonderful touch that allows guests to feel 'at home'. Finally the location - it's barely 2min walk from Monastiraki station (which connects directly to the airport), right at one end of Ermou (which is a big shopping street) and so close to many popular restaurants and cafes. You could stay here without needing to take the metro for any local excursions, including the Parthenon. And the views from the rooftop are mindblowing.

The receptionist Christina was absolutely amazing - she helped with restaurant bookings (and requested tables with the best views!), sightseeing recommendations and printing my boarding pass - she was so happy to see you every time you came in or out. [Huge thanks to her!] There is free bottled water which is brilliant when you can't drink the tap water. The room is very comfortable with air conditioning. The location is great - 5 minutes from Monastiraki Square/Station which is a central hub to get anywhere and an abundance of restaurants in Psyrri.
