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,

This boutique hotel is an amazing little oasis in the heart of downtown Athens. Breakfast was incredible and the entire place was immaculate. The rooftop bar/patio was such a nice place to gaze at the Acropolis each day. The staff helped us when we really needed it. Highly recommend this place to anyone travelling to Athens.

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!

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 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

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

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

This hotel is incredible. The reception is super competent and extra friendly. They have the best breakfast I ever encountered in the whole of my trip through 4 islands + Athens, in Greece. The view from their rooftop at night is insane. In the same street, you find the most magical pastry shop ever full of Alice in Wonderland themed deco. Just book it!

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.
