AboV Athens

Location, cleanliness

Description thru booking.com listed 2 queen beds, there was only a king bed, fold down sofa full bed and twin fold down chair. All worked out fine, just not was expected. Also listed that the motel provided airport shuttle (the main reason for booking), it does not!

The room was huge. Decòr was bland and not enough storage. The bathroom was nice with a huge picture window and a uniteruped view of the Parthenon. The balcony was also huge and we used it every morning and evening. Fortunately, we took our own coffee machine. Location was sensational. It is 30 mtrs from the road in an alley way with restaurants and a fabulous wine bar. Very easy access for the taxis drop offhand pick.up. We would highly recommend this quaint hotel.

Not much to dislike. It could use some pictures on the walls as the room doesn't look great when you first walk in. But we really enjoyed it. Ok

The hotel is in the best location you can find in the center of Athens. Between Syntagma Square and Monstraki Square. Very close to all major and minor tourist sites, restaurants (an excellent one right in front of the hotel) and shops. The room is charmingly decorated, clean, has air conditioning, a spacious and comfortable shower, and a large and comfortable bed. The hotel has an elevator and each room has a small balcony from which you can see the Parthenon. The women at the reception are charming, smiling and helpful. I will definitely recommend the hotel and come to visit again :)

Small points for improvement - a bench or two at the reception desk and some arrangement for breakfast (preference for breakfast on the roof of the building with the most beautiful view in the city :). If breakfast is not possible at the hotel, it is possible to make an arrangement with several nearby restaurants that serve breakfast/brunch meals, instead of the guests starting to look for what is open/good early in the morning.

Clean, quiet, very central, modern, very comfortable place to sleep if you wanna explore Athens on feet. Very good value for money. (Not a place if you are w looking for breakfast and facilities, etc…) however plenty of cafe and restaurant at your doorstep. We would definitely stay there again.

Not a lot to dislike. We would like the safe to be bigger as it only fits passports or wallet. No view in case you are looking for one, however this place is just convenient if you are looking for a place to rest and sleep.

Traveling with kids we had two rooms (3+2) for three nights. The rooms were very clean and both had AC (air conditioner). The location is great near both Syntagma and Monastiraki subway stations. So, coming from the plane, seeing sights and leaving to Pireas was easy. We had our breakfast at Everest near Syntagma square. Staff was very friendly and we could leave our luggage in the reception after the checkout before continuing to the ferry.

Although we slept very well, for sensitive ones, soundproofing could be improved a little bit against noise from the street until they close and against some occasional loud guests in the stairs.

Perfect location by Plaka, Ermou Street and Monastiraki Square. Great room size in the Presidential Suite with nice terrace with a view of the church and Acropolis. Bed was comfy and there were 2 sofa beds - one for each of our boys. Aircon worked well, which was important. Great bathroom!! The view from the Acropolis was out the bathroom window through the shower. So cool!! Facilities were new and nice. They are even building a rooftop bar on the top terrace. Very helpful woman downstairs in the lobby - got us extra sheets and blankets. And arranged for a taxi to pick us up at 4:45am to get us back to the airport. The lively side street that the terrace overlooks can be noisy if you open the sliding door to the terrace, but it didn't seem loud at night. In fact, the restaurants downstairs were top notch, especially "Meat the Greek." A great stay and plenty of room for my family.

Everything was great. It would have been lovely if the view of the Acropolis was viewable from the main part of the room, but, honestly, it was clear from the pictures on Booking.com that it wasn't. And there's no real lobby, but the downstairs and elevator are nicely decorated. Finish that terrace bar and we'll be back!!

The location of this hotel was perfect as it is centrally located close to bars, shops and restaurants. The transport links were very good too. The room was a good size and very new. The men on reception were very welcoming and helpful with any questions we had. We had a room at the back of the hotel which was nice and quiet. A fridge was provided so great for keeping bottled water chilled. There was also a safe in the room.

There was a kettle in the room but no coffee/tea or cups - there is a shop round the corner which sold this so not a major issue. I found the bed a little hard for my personal liking but this didn't impact on sleep but my daughter found it very comfortable. A mirror in the bedroom would be a bonus.

Hotel was in a perfect location, a 5-minute walk from both Syntagma and Monastiraki metro stops which go to the airport, and pretty much anywhere else in the centre. Hotel was that new they hadn't finished building all of it, so it was modern throughout, with great facilities. Housekeeping attended every day, so everything was also spotless during our stay. Staff were friendly and contactable via WhatsApp if not at reception (they cover another hotel too).

Small criticisms, but the internal room front door wasn't the thickest, so noise travelled as people used the lift/stairs. As it was also being renovated, building work started at 7am one morning and 8am another, which wasn't ideal, but it didn't ruin anything - guessing this won't be an issue once completed - and the staff were very apologetic and even offered a discount if we stayed again, so all was good.

The location is perfect and within walking distance to all attractions, eateries, and shopping. The rooms are large with comfortable beds and large shower. If you want a very nice room, very attentive staff, and location, then this is the place. The property is accessible by key card at night. If you prefer a property with full amenities such as a restaurant, bar, or lounge areas, then this property is not for you.

The checkin area and elevator is extremely small. This would not prevent me from staying here again, but could get a bit crowded if multiple people are checking in at the same time. The only other thing that we wish we could have controlled is the temperature in the room. There is air conditioning and the heat wave did not help, but we could not make the room cooler and we like cool. So we did use are portable fans. Eventually is was ok.

I booked for one night post-cruise with a very early flight the next morning. The hotel staff was so friendly and helpful! We left our luggage with them until our room was ready and they booked us a taxi for 3 am. The bed was comfortable, the room and the bathroom were clean and modern. I appreciated the little refrigerator in the cupboard. The curtains block the outdoor lighting very well.

Our room faced the street and was considerably noisier than the one we had two weeks earlier that faced the interior. We had to retire very early to get some sleep before our 3 am departure, and earplugs were necessary to block the noise.
