Great first stay in Athens at the Athenaeum. Great clean rooms, excellent staff and service (I particularly want to thank Manolis for all the great advice on nearby restaurants), easy 10 mn walk to the Acropolis and many tourist sites. Some people might be bothered by the closeness to the intersection of two majors roads with traffic. Would highly recommend, and stay there again!

The staff was very kind and attentive but the rooms are old with awkward layouts. Our bed was round and the sheets were old which made sleeping difficult.
