Athens Mansion Luxury Suites

goodgood

In the morning, we awoke to the church bells nearby. We had a lovely breakfast on the top floor with views of the Parthenon. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Great location near the main tourist sites and good restaurants

Upon arrival at the hotel, I realized the door is locked. It is covered with bars. I was trying to knock and no one was answering the door. There is no doorman or Porter to help with luggage. It turned out There is a call button system that we were not given instructions for prior to arrival. We tried to call the hotel when we could not gain entry and no one answered the telephone after trying twice, a neighboring business had to help me use the entry buttons to make contact with someone inside the hotel. This hotel is not handicap accessible. There is a flight of steps before reaching the very small elevator. Two people cannot fit in the elevator with luggage this is not a luxury hotel, there is no 24 hour reception. The reception desk is not attended after 11 PM. My room had a view of a caved in rooftop. The reason that the door to the hotel must stay locked is because there is a vacant derelict building across the street. There is graffiti all over the outside of several buildings on the street, which is very offputting. there was a serious concern for personal safety in this situation. Upon returning to the hotel after dinner, the room next to ours was wide open with no one in the room. This is an unstaffed hotel all evening.

This property is a jewel set in a once elegant neighborhood that has seen better days - but once inside the elegant 19th century doors you are transported back to an elegant urban mansion that has been upgraded abd transformed into a welcoming and ultra comfortable experience - glistening hardwood floors marble bathrooms and breakfast and elegant bar on rooftop with view of acropolis - only min walk to Sydigma and Hermou and red line metro - Ioannis and Penny are super helpful along with Christo on the rooftop - a wonderful experience !
