Pros:

The staff were exceptional, even before I checked when the receptionist paid for my taxi fare upon arrival when I had visa card problems.

Cons:

The shower design was a bit painful for me, with no screen to stop water getting on the floor.

Lite, rolig, delikat hotell med sentral beliggenhet i Plaka. Hyggelige betjening.
Pros:

Sentral beliggenhet i Plaka, med kort vei til Akropolis, og sjarmerende gater med mange, små koselige butikker og mange restauranter. Lite, intimt hotell, med hyggelig betjening. Stille og rolig. Delikat suite.

Amazing hotel, great location, highly recommend
Pros:

We have stayed at this hotel 2 times now. It's a perfect location, very clean, staff is great. The rooms are all very nice and good size. They have a great rooftop area to sit and have a drink and take in the amazing views of the Acropolis

Cons:

That we went to a different hotel first, and not this one

Athens stay in Placka
Pros:

We extended our cruise a day in Athens. The Ava Hotel and suites is adjacent to the Acropolis and shopping and restaurants.
The staff were welcoming when we arrived. Our room was spacious with a lovely outdoor patio.
The breakfast buffet was wonderful with freshly squeezed orange juice. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

Stop Looking at Just Stay Here!
Pros:

Stayed at this hotel on two separate times during our almost three week trip to Greece. Everything was great from the reception on arrival, to the room (we had a balcony with a view of the Acropolis), the breakfast and especially the location. They also were really good at communicating prior to our arrival as they emailed us there was a taxi strike and asked if we wanted to a use their private taxi service and provided the cost as well. Stay here and you will not be disappointed!

Excellent location, very comfortable room and friendly and competent staff.
Pros:

The location and promotion for the AVA Hotel was most encouraging; also, they arranged a driver to meet us at the Airport as we had not visited Athens before. Getting from the Airport to the Hotel was done very efficiently and our most knowledgeable driver gave us a running commentary about Athens's history and key sites all the way to the Hotel.
The Hotel location was true to the promotion being in the Plaka, the old part of the city, and having the Acropolis at one end of the street and Hadrian's Gate at the other.
Our large room was excellent, as well as being fully self-contained. The room appointments were very good with a feature being an impressive bushman's shower in the bathroom and a big, comfortable bed. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed an excellent comprehensive breakfast each morning. The staff were also happy to recommend nearby restaurants for us to visit for evening meals. Being located in the Plaka, made walking around the streets an enjoyable and interesting exercise.
We would be very happy to stay in the AVA Hotel, Athens again.

Wonderful hotel, with a wonderful team. It really is a special place!
Pros:

I cannot recommend Ava Hotel & Suites enough. I spent 6 nights as a solo guest over the New Year period.

The room: I stayed in one of the Executive Suites with a view of the Acropolis. It was beautiful. It had a spacious living room with a cozy sofa, comfortable chairs, a kitchen area with breakfast bar and a refrigerator, two burners for cooking & dishware/cutlery. The bed was comfortable, ample wardrobe space and the shower was great with ample hot water. There was a walk in shower as well as a bath tub with a shower. The lighting was excellent-plenty of lights, light switches, and sockets for charging devices.

Housekeeping: I opted not to have daily housekeeping as I prefer nobody in my personal space, but the housekeeping team were around every day and were so accommodating in providing me with extra toilet rolls, bottles of water, towels, etc.

The size of the hotel means you really do feel looked after.

The location: is excellent. Without exaggerating, *everything* is on your doorstep-shops, cafés, restaurants, tavernas & many tourist attractions. I loved the fact that I could walk out of the hotel and not need a taxi to take me where I wanted to go. I averaged 14,000 steps/day which is good for me:).

The hotel staff/team: without a doubt, the hotel staff made my visit all the more special. They were all lovely, friendly, welcoming and I cannot praise the following enough: Revekka/Rebecca, Maria, Marios, Panagiota, Magda, Chrysa, Kosta/Costa (the evening reception shift who was so accommodating on New Years Eve) & Flora, the chef at breakfast. I know there were others whose names I did not get. Thank you to every single one of you for being so kind, and welcoming to me.

I look forward to returning to AVA Hotel & Suites the next time I visit Athens, and thank you all once again for your hospitality.
