Acropolis City Life BH
Athens

We stayed here on the front end and back end of our Cruise. The hotel was perfect for our needs. It was midpoint between the airport and the cruise terminal. It is centrally located on a quaint side street in Athens; walking distance to the Acropolis; Monastiraki Square, Plaka, National Gardens, Parliament and much more. Christine at reception provided outstanding customer service; was so friendly and helpful. She set up all of our transfers (4 total) for us and we were picked up and delivered to our destinations on time. She was the BEST! The room was bright and clean; the breakfast was plentiful and had a large variety of food options. The roof top terrace was perfect for relaxing at the end of a busy day. The view of the acropolis at night is breathtaking. We are so glad that we selected this hotel for our trip; it went beyond our expectation.

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.

Location was very central and convenient at any time of the day. The girl that welcomed us was super nice kind and helpful. The only problem there was a weird smell like it was coming from the bathroom, bur according to explanations, it must be the area at some time of the day, but overall it eas a very nice experience

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!

Location staff were professional polite welcomingThe owner Vangeli reception Constadina and the rest of the team team treated us like family from the moment we stepped into the hotelWe were welcomed with a bottle of wine and refreshments to enjoy on the roof top with a sensational view of the AcropolisEven on the of check out the owner team were present to oversee our departure and organized our transport to the airportHighly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting AthensLooking forward to staying there again

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 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

Amazing central location, really good size rooms with free water bottles available. Super friendly and helpful staff. Clean rooms and the air conditioner worked great, we needed it the heat wave. Very comfy bed too

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!

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.
