Katomerion Holidays from AU$1,643

I booked a last minute holiday for my 40th and I loved staying here. The place is for adults only and it was so peaceful. The rooms are beautiful and large that fill with light. Basically what you see in the photos with lots helpful toiletries and a robe to cosy into. You select breakfast the night before and they bring it to you each morning. The staff are so friendly and helpful. You’re only a short walk from the main sites and can easily get most places. It’s also only a couple of minutes from the metro so getting the train from the airport is very easy. Lots of great places to eat nearby and they’ll give you recommendations. On my birthday I went to Thissio view. Similarly priced to other places (it’s not cheap but reasonable) but you have a view of the acropolis that is unrivalled. Recommend ergon across the road, particularly the bakery/coffee hatch. Be prepared to eat a lot of carbs with their amazing focaccia in the evening or pizza slices.

Fatalistic location. Walkable to all the attractions, etc. The staff was over the top, excellent customer service. The breakfast was outstanding as well as the view from the roof top. I would highly recommend this hotel to friends and family wishing to visit Athens.

A beautiful property. We enjoyed a relaxing stay and experienced a relaxing environment, wonderful food and excellent service.

Loved landing here after a long flight. Comfortable and safe.

The hotel has a nice view of the acropolis from the roof deck and you can walk to the historic sites. But I am not sure how this is 5 star. I did not receive my VIP upgrades, there is no mini bar but you do get a fridge. The restaurant is overpriced by Greek standards 13 € for a glass of wine, 28 € for breakfast and mediocre food. The service at the restaurant was fine. The area is sketchy. Did not feel comfortable walking around after dark. Lots of abandoned buildings and smell of urine. It is a very rundown part of town. Windows are not sound proof and there is strange blue light outside maybe part of the hotel lighting. Bathroom clearly had mold or mildew. The room itself was clean.
