Acropolis City Life BH
Athens

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

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!!!

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

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.

Everything about our stay here was fantastic. The location can’t be beat, the rooms are beautiful and comfortable and the staff is incredibly kind and helpful. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

The hotel location is ideal. It is across the street from Monastiraki Square, where there are restaurants, shopping, bus stops, etc and it is less than a 5 minute walk to the metro. It has friendly and helpful owner and staff, hearty breakfast, all day access to coffee/expresso machine,and bottled water, and a huge bathroom with a wonderful shower.
