Acropolis City Life BH
Athens

Lovely staff, great location full of life close to Monastiraki metro station and square. Ideal for exploring the ancient sites with a convenient retreat. Excellent value. Would stay here again. Rooms modern and clean, good hot water, split system air-con. Chose Monastiraki as convenient for the metro to both the airport and Pireaus ferry port, so a great place to overnight en route,

Very nice hotel perfectly located for a 3 day stay in Athens! A very helpful staff! Cristina helped us on the last minute to find and reach a tourist spot on the area. The room is a little small, but very comfortable, well decorated, great bed, shower and facilities. The breakfast is well prepared and tasty. There is a rooftop with an outstanding view of the city, specially the Acropolis. The location is perfect, a hundred meters from the Monasteraki metro station, the place to be in downtown Athens for tourism.

Breakfast was excellent with a good selection of different options. The hotel location was perfect. The rooms (we stayed on two occasions) were both really clean, modern and comfortable. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

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 service - staff was extremely nice and so helpfulThe room was clean , roomy, well decoratedBreakfast was good , just what you need to start the day.

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 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 spent the last night of our honeymoon here. The staff was very friendly and helpful! They sent us to the best restaurant in town and when we came back we found a very thoughtful and cute cute surprise in our bedroom. They really managed to make the last day of our trip very special! Thank you guys for this!

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.
