It may not have the fancy welcoming lobby you see at other places nor does it have other facility amenities, in fact it has a tiny apartment like entrance with the tiniest elavator but the service was excellent. Our check in went smooth, our room very clean, comfortable with simple decor, our balcony view was stunning. You can see an unobstructed view of the acropolis and hephaestus temple. The location is superb. Walking distance to all the the neighborhoods of Central Athens. Overall good value for the amount of money we paid. Definitely recommend this place.

Altar Suites is in a fabulous location and has an unbelievable view of the Acropolis. It's surrounded by too many restaurants to count, including the unlikely (but good) James Joyce Irish Pub across the street. The Monastiraki area is a fascinating place in which to walk around and shop. Breakfast was part of the deal and is served at the cafe next door. The only thing we didn't really like was the unusual check-in/out process. There isn't a traditional front desk. Instead, you are emailed a code to get in -- which should have been fine but we were having difficulty accessing our email during our travels and panicked a bit about getting in. Luckily one of their staff called me with the code (Phew!). After that all was fine.

A really lovely place to stay, I booked a room with a balcony and the view of the acropolis was amazing. There are a lot of food places around and it’s right by the flea market. Staff were lovely and really helpful, highly recommend

Great hotel, nice and clean, good amenities and great location close to everything we wanted to visit on this occasion. Only issue was that as the communal areas eg stairwell and entrance were all hard surfaces and the rooms opened to this area, so you could hear every door opening and closing especially the front door which slams shut and also the conversations in the corridors. Luckily we didnt let this bother us as we were only there a short time. Saturday night, the neighbouring bar turns into a nightclub which ran past 1am so you felt the vibrations but once again didn't let that bother us. Last gripe was that we had an Acropolis view which was superb but whenthesun hits the correct angle you see that the windows are not the cleanest. Oh and last thing was that the neighbours bathroom window overlooked our balcony which was very odd. Still, a great place for a few days to enjoy lovely Athens.

Beautiful suites and perfect location!
Our stay at Altar Suites was above and beyond. We stayed four nights. The suite was gorgeous—beautiful design, architecture and construction. Location was perfect. Walkable to all of the archeological attractions, the flea market, restaurants and shopping. Some prior reviews mentioned noise. We had no issues with noise in our fourth floor suite. Altar Suites has beautiful boutique accommodations in the heart of the old city. Would not hesitate to stay here again next time we’re in Athens!

Great location - though it can get loud over the weekends. Walking distance to many attractions and a ton of shops and restaurants nearby. The room was a bit cramped for 4 ppl and not having a bathroom door was a major hassle. Urban suites don’t have Acropolis views.. Overall, a good pleasant stay in the heart of Athens.

Loved this hotel and the staff. Everyone was warm and welcoming and took great interest in ensuring we were taken care of. The room accommodated our family of 3 adults and it was extremely comfortable. Location was perfect for us - lots of restaurants, shopping and within walking distance of the Acropolis. We would absolutely return
