Acropolis Hill

We stayed at the Acropolis Hill Hotel for three nights in November 2025 and can thoroughly recommend it. It is just a five or six minutes stroll from the Acropolis itself and within easy walking of all the major sights. Our room was on the fifth floor overlooking the street , some reviewers have complained of traffic noise but we found it very quiet, only the odd vehicle every few minuites. It is probably busier at the height of the season though. The view from our balcony in one direction was the sea, the other was the acropolis itself. The room was very clean and bed comfortable, lovely shower. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was fine so long as you don't expect a big "fry up"( fried eggs but cooked rock solid), lots of variety if your not too fussy. No bar as such but reception staff will serve drinks on request.
Overall great little hotel and can see why so many reviewers return.

A lovely little hotel. My only gripe was that the room was boiling even in November, (air con was only set to heat, couldn't put it on cool) but other than that, it was clean, well maintained, the staff on reception are helpful and friendly and the hotel is in a great location. Let's not forget the fantastic view of the Acropolis from the roof terrace!

Had a fantastic stay at Acropolis Hill. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were attentive, friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect. Great value and excellent service — highly recommended!

Clean room with a decent breakfast

Wide variety of items for breakfast, not just bagels and cream cheese. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The location was very convenient to the shopping and dining area, about a 10-15 minute walk. Also very close to the Acropolis and its museum. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Location

Comfortable rooms. Friendly staff. Away from hustle and bustle.

Absolutely fantastic hotel to stay in, about 10 minutes walk to the acropolis. Beds are very comfy and all members of staff from the cleaners to front of house staff very friendly and helpful, in particular vaggelis who was very helpful getting tea or coffee sachets and milk when you needed it nothing was a problem. Breakfast was continental. Great view from roof top of the acropolis. Would highly recommend this hotel and if I was to come back to Athens I would definitely come back to this hotel.

loved the location and staff

Stayed at the Acropolis Hill hotel in Athens for three nights. Good location as it is close to the acropolis as well as restaurants in every direction. It is a 20 minute walk to downtown, Syntagma Square area. Plaka is about 15 minutes walk away. Great restaurants for every taste. Found vegan gluten free restaurants and several seafood places of good quality. Staff at hôtel were friendly. Room fridge wasn’t working so they called a repair person who allegedly fixed it but it barely cooled anything. They did offer to let us put items in their main fridge if we wanted. Not really convenient as we only wanted it for cold drinks. Decent breakfast in the morning. Overall a nice, comfortable place.

Good hotel although would not recommend it if you are planning on using the metro or are a solo traveler. The way over from the closest metro station is insanely steep, and you need to climb stairs on an iffy block which gave us the creeps a bit.
While the rooftop does have an amazing view of the Acropolis, the terrace itself is pretty lousy, with old rusty tables and chairs and zero shade. All in all, I would say a fair hotel but I have stayed at better in Athens before....

TV had little signal and no English news channel; beds comfortable; breakfast good; pool good to cool off in but not long enough to swim in; reception staff very helpful and friendly

The only issue I had was the pictures of the pool on the website didn't let us know that it was at the bottom of the hotel and really didn't get sun, but other than that the staff and room were nice and the beds were comfortable.

I am writing this review as I hope others in a similar situation can have a "heads up" on a few things. We are a young family traveling with two young toddlers. The hotel advertised as family friendly (they even offered a baby cot and car seats). Based on the reviews, the reference to kid friendly accommodations and the close proximity to the major attractions we thought this would be a great option. Unfortunately, after an extremely long travel we arrived at the hotel and immediately felt uncomfortable. They seemed annoyed by the children. The kids were not being destructive, not screaming, but being regular toddlers, talking louder than necessary, arguing over who could push the elevator button, but nothing outlandish. The room was a lot smaller than expected but honestly I could have easily looked past that if we were treated nicely (it is the city after all). We got the breakfast package and again felt like outcasts. You could hear a pin drop in the breakfast room and while we tried to ensure that the kids did not bother the other guests, they were talking and we felt like we had to hush them the entire time. The water cups were glass which you filled with a communal pitcher from the buffet, my husband went up with my sons plastic small water bottle to put water in as we did not want to take a chance that he would break the glass cup, he immediately got yelled at by an employee who told him that he could not take things with him to go. He was simply filling a child's plastic water bottle not shoving muffins in his pocket and we were sitting down. After feeling uncomfortable and not welcome for several days it was finally time to leave and we were so relieved. I had asked at check in what the procedure was for arranging transport back to the airport, and was told to schedule with the front desk the day before. When we booked the hotel it said transport included. On the way from airport to hotel they did not charge us (except for carseats which was understandable). The day before our departure I scheduled the shuttle with the front desk and she asks for payment for the carseats, no problem. We leave the next day get all the way to the airport and I tip the driver, at which point I am told that I need to pay for the ride. I was completely caught off guard. He called the hotel to confirm and was told that only one way was free. I asked why I wasn't told that when I booked it and why would she only charge me for the carseats the day before but not mention payment of the actual trip. I have no problem paying for the transport and even gave the driver a very generous tip but what I do have a problem with is how poorly we were treated, how uncomfortable they made us feel and their lack of communication, it was unprofessional and not the Greek hospitality I expected at the beginning of our trip. Luckily we went to various Islands after our Athens stay and everyone was so nice and went above and beyond accommodate both us and the kids. On another note, the hotel was clean, the buffet was plentiful, and the location was optimal, the acropolis and other main attractions were about a 5-10 minute walk. Maybe this forum was a chance for me to vent but I hope that another family with young kids does not have to feel the way we did (its hard enough traveling with little kids) and ultimately the main goal here is maybe the hotel staff makes some changes--it costs nothing to be nice but can make a huge difference.

Location was perfect! Easy walking to catch hop on hop off and super cute shops. Christoff is the very best . Thank you from all of us for making our first time in Athens Amazing!! 💕

Everything is great no changes

Nice hotel with friendly staff in quiet, safe area. Easy to walk to bars & restaurants. Hotel was clean & had all we needed. Was a great base for exploring the city! The roof terrace was an incredible place to sit with a wine at sunset. Only small problem we had was our beds were very hard. Woke up very sore in the mornings! Would definitely stay again if in Athens.

Loved our 5 nights at this hotel. Easy check in, room was a good size for 3 & very clean. Little balcony was a nice extra. The show stopper was the roof terrace though, amazing views. Great location too, easy to walk & safe! My daughter enjoyed the pool too.

DON’t just DON’T! Property is on a hill and busy street without sidewalks. The rooftop consists of a few worn out patio tables. The pool is old and dirty and located between two walls. The lobby has a strong odor of heavy perfumed cleaning solutions that triggered an asthma attack. Arriving on our flood we were faced with a dark creepy hallway with stained, wobbly carpet that felt like it had sustained water damage. Our room had more dirty carpets, worn out towels, stained upholstery, stuffy air, and a persistent heavy perfumed cleaning solution odor that would not dissipate even after we opened the balcony door. We quickly realized that we could not stay and opted to leave. Expedia tried to advocate for a refund but was unsuccessful in getting a refund for my €355 for the TWO NIGHT booking. I am sure Expedia has received their cut from the fee… :( Bad blood- rethinking my options for booking from this platform.

Good hotel
