Acropolis City Life BH
Athens

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 panorama is unbelievable from the roof and the penthouse suite looks amazing. Rooms are clean and cozy. Staff extremly kind and helpful. We had an unexpected situation and we had to go to a hospital. Vangelis (the owner) and the hotel staff were extremely helpful. This is a real hospitality. If you are in trouble, you can realize who is your real friend....and they were. We never forget this! ❤️ If we visit to Athen aytime, this is our place because we know that we count on these people. Thanks for everything, we keep you in our heart

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.
