Acropolis City Life BH
Αθήνα

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 staff were vey kind and always ready to react to my request. The food including water which were in dining room were all free. The location was fantastic as we can easily walk to Acropolis in 20min through Monastraki square.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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,

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!

AMAZING! The hotel - the staff - the view - the location - the breakfast - the amenities - AWESOME! They go above and beyond! After a day out going back to the hotel we felt like we were coming home!! So friendly! We travel alot and when we were out and about we would talk about how great the hotel is - say things like no other place does things like that…
