1900 Athenian House

The stay was good. The service was decent, the food was good, and the staff were friendly enough. The rooms were clean, and the location was convenient.

My stay at the 1900 Athenian House Hotel was an unforgettable experience, blending historical charm with modern comfort. Located in the heart of Athens, this boutique hotel offers a glimpse into the city's rich history while providing all the conveniences a traveler could need. Atmosphere & Design: The hotel’s design is simply stunning. Housed in a beautifully restored neoclassical building, the décor elegantly combines traditional Greek elements with contemporary touches. From the moment you step inside, you feel transported to a different era. The common areas feature high ceilings, intricate moldings, and classic furnishings, yet the hotel doesn’t feel outdated. The attention to detail in preserving the historical elements while ensuring modern functionality is impressive. The rooms are spacious, meticulously clean, and tastefully decorated. My room had a fantastic view of the Acropolis, which was a major highlight. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the bathrooms were equipped with luxurious amenities. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which was a relief during the hot summer days. There was also a nice balance between maintaining the historic aesthetic and offering modern conveniences, like a flat-screen TV and free high-speed Wi-Fi.

The property was very inexpensive to stay at. However, the pictures are deceiving. The rooms are very small. The towels and wash clothes were hard. The receptionist didn’t speak English, so it was hard to communicate. There is no staff on duty after 5pm and the number left for us to call for help the person just told us they couldn’t get us new towels or bottled water until the receptionist returned at 7am. It was in a very sketchy neighborhood. It was definitely not what we expected based on the website. I do not recommend staying here unless you are OK with being in the hood.
