Pros:

The staff and communication were amazing. Property is clean and elegant, boutique style.
In an excellent location close to everything by foot. Comfy bed and beautiful room.
The only thing we didn't like was the bathtub shower. Its elevated and hard to step into and there was only a hand-held shower sprayer and no curtain which made showering difficult.

Lovely vibe and convenient location
Pros:

Although we were on the 1st floor with no lift, this wasn't a problem as the very fit staff looked after our baggage. The willingness of staff to assist with anything we required was great - even offering to store some bags when we went on a short cruise. Although compact, our room had everything we required but our only issue was the lack of hanging space for the towels. We would have been happy to reuse them but they were too wet.

Pros:

The location was amazing! Right in the center of everything Athens!
We could see the Parthenon from our balcony! The service could not have been better! The staff was sooooo incredibly friendly, they made us feel like family! This was our first time in Athens and I can’t wait to come back and thanks to the warmth and kindness of the staff at The Residence Hotel and Spa!

Pros:

The service was very good, very clean property. Location was great! ( the street looks kind of shady, but a block away from the resort you have everything accessible ) The only negative part was that you have to walk 3 floors up (45 steps) to your room in the resident side, they do have someone to help with the luggage. The room was small and the mattress in the room was very uncomfortable.

Pros:

I really appreciated the staff and free breakfast. The breakfast was amazing! The hotel was very nice, beautifully decorated. The only issues I had was that we were placed on the third floor and there was no elevator in that part of the hotel. If you are differently abled or have physical limitations that prevent stair climbing do not get the third floor - if you have heavy luggage this could be an issue although the staff helped take up the luggage. Be aware that this hotel does not allow tissue to be flushed in the toilet and if you aren’t accustomed to a bidet that might be awkward. Also the big spa tub was nice but we had no stand up enclosed shower. There was a handheld spray faucet but you end up getting water everywhere. All in all I would recommend for a short stay if you don’t need an accessible room. I don’t think this was made plain in the hotel description or booking with Expedia it should have been. I can only speak for our room the main hotel rooms may be different.

Pros:

Liked the older property and the features. Staff were friendly but we didn't see them a lot due to being in the older property.

Bathroom could have been more sensible - shower screen and a holder for the over-bath shower. Air con kept turning off throughout the night which was highly annoying.

Pros:

Excellent renovation on the room. City view was of a building under construction therefore the balcony was useless.
First room was facing a busy street and was very noisy but they changed our room upon request. The foyer to the residence rooms smelled liked sewer gas but the room did not smell. No elevator to the residence room so 3 flights of stairs!

Pros:

The staff were great. Only issue is that there was a bath but no shower! There was a shower nozzle in the bath but without a shower screen or anywhere to hold the shower nozzle it only made a mess

Pros:

The service was 5-star! Anastasia ensured everything was taken care of. She was like a personal valet, watching out for us, giving us recommendations, making sure breakfast was exactly how we wanted, coordinating to be sure our minor maintenance issue (a lightbulb was out) was fixed immediately. The staff carried our luggage up.and down the stairs so we didn't have to. Top notch!

Great hotel & comfortable room
Pros:

The hotel is clean and comfortable. It is conveniently located to center of everything, restaurants, bars and shops.
One thing is just there are many graffiti in Athens so you might think it’s a bit concerning initially, but that’s overall how the city is.
