Acropolis City Life BH
Athens

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.

everything. Location, staff, Breakfast rooms. Staff was incredible and couldn't do enough for us from inquiring about hop on hop offs, info regarding the city, help with the safe. Christina and Constantina were superb. So friendly and willing to go above and beyond. In all my travels, I think this staff was one of the nicest ever. We met the designer, builder owner who was a charming man and explained that he built this so he could meet people. The hotel is lively and very reasonably priced. 2 mi uses from train station, a minute from the Plaka and hop on hop off bus and a 10 minute walk to the acropolis. Also it has a wonderful rooftop terrace that has spectacular views of 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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…
