It is a little of the city center but I knew what I signed up for and loved it. I stayed at their Thessaloniki location before and that was great too. Breakfast is awesome. Staff is kind and talkative - love that about them. Thanks guys!

The location is a bit far for walking to the Acropolis but if you have time and are able, it’s worth the walk. There are many neighborhoods and shops to explore along the way. Lycabettus Hill viewing area is within walking distance but it’s an uphill climb. Public transportation is close as well as many restaurants. Our room was comfortable, clean, and the breakfast was amazing. Highly recommend this hotel.

Beautiful upscale neighborhood with great restaurants in the vicinity. The breakfast was exceptionally good. The front desk and breakfast staff were friendly and gracious, particularly Ian in front desk . The room cleaning staff did their job well, but would sometimes forget to replace glasses and cups, easy to fix by talking to front desk. The Modernist will be our preferred place to stay on future visits. We cancelled our booking in King George and booked in the Modernist mainly because of great reviews and lower cost - so glad we did it. The Kolonaki area is so much better than Syntagma square.

Having worked with a global luxury hotelier, I tend to put a different lens on hotel reviews. The Modernist Hotel, Athens, is modern, fresh, and comes with some of the best staff I’ve ever experienced. Service is paramount to them and they genuinely want you to enjoy your stay. Their breakfast selection is amazing. It’s fresh fruit and breads and cereals are some of the best I’ve experienced. Beds are very comfortable, shower is excellent. Loads of hot water. The drawbacks though, could be things that would make you not return. Rooms are very small and they have no drawers or shelving for clothing. They have a few hangers in an open “closet” area and a large drawer underneath. But the drawer is taken up by the safe. Now, to get to the safe, you need to get down on your hands and knees as it’s at floor level. This is ridiculous. Clothes and belongings will be strewn across the room or you’ll be living out of your suitcase. When mentioning this to staff they will each say the same line “it’s part of the hotel concept”. The concept they are displaying is one of “suck it up” and “we don’t care. The bathroom is small and there’s little shelving for your bits and pieces. We had to remove a kettle from a small cupboard to store a few clothes.Same with a radio - we removed it from a ledge to use the ledge for our phone charger. The gym is quite appalling to be frank. It has a wooden treadmill and a wooden bike. The treadmill isn’t the standard flat surface but bowed.
