Perfect Location for all the Sites
Pros:

AthensWas is located in the old streets of the city centre just 400 yards from the entrance to the Acropolis and close to all the important tourist sites and many restaurants. The hotel arranged a reasonably priced taxi to pick us up from the airport. On arrival we were warmly greeted and very pleased with our 4th floor spacious room with balcony.
Our room and the whole hotel is attractively decorated in a modern contempory style. All necessary features including fridge, hair dryer and water were inluded in the room. The king sized bed was super comfortable and the large walk-in shower enlivening.
The a la carte breakfast was all prepared to order and served by friendly staff with stunning views of the Acropolis from the sixth floor restaurant. We also enjoyed the evening tasting menu while viewing the uninterupted views of the Acropolis light up beautifully against the night sky.

Near the acropolis and a walk from the old city with an amazing breakfast - a truly great hotel!
Pros:

Great hotel at a very good location! The hotel is located close to the acropolis with a great unobstructed view from the restaurant at the top floor. The street near the hotel is filled with great restaurants and cafes, and with a short walk to the streets of the old city and 15 minutes walk to the city center. The room was very clean and offered blinds that block light completely, and was quiet - no outside noise. The bathroom is modern with a very good rain shower head. The breakfast was truly exceptional - it is a la carte without a buffet. The food was exceptional and the staff super friendly.

Pros:

Great location
Good service and staff

Cons:

Very poor breakfast
The hotel is really out of date
And I think it's more like 4*, not 5* hotel

Boa experiência
Pros:

Café da manhã muito bom com serviço execelente da equipe do hotel, com uma vista fantástica da Acrópole, funcionários prestativos e localização excelente

Cons:

Não gostei do restaurante SENSE. O restaurante que fica no Hotel se apresenta como restaurante de alta gastronomia com custo muito elevado e não entrega o que vende. Decepcionante a comida.
