jon81uk Posted May 4, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 4, 2023 We’ve booked Philippians Hotel for next month as it’s very close to the Acropolis and seems to be a good enough area, but not stayed there yet. https://www.philipposhotel.gr/en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted May 4, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Recommended many times here: Athens Gate hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl64 Posted May 5, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Agree: Athens Gate Hotel. Beautiful views of the Acropolis.we walked all over even to the changing of the guard. The guide/driver who picked us up at the port said we picked the best hotel in Athens. We’ve booked it again for November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to splurge a bit and have fantastic amenities (like a rooftop restaurant and rooftop pool that overlook the Acropolis) my favorite hotel in town is the Hotel Grande Bretagne. Part of Marriott's Luxury Collection, you can sometimes get great deals using Bonvoy points. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beloum Posted July 22, 2023 #14 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Trying to decide if it would be better to spend the night before in a hotel closer to the port in Pireaus, or is transportation easy from Athen to the port on the day of the cruise?

It's quite easy -- only 20 minutes by taxi. There's no need to get there the day before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe email them to see if they have a room? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare marazul Posted July 31, 2023 #21 Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) WARNING: We stayed at the 5-star Athens Coco-Mat hotel just next door to the Hera Hotel where we have also stayed. The Coco-Mat opened in a renovated building during the pandemic and it has a rooftop pool which we loved. HOWEVER, the top court of Greece has just ordered the Coco-Mat to demolish the top two floors of the hotel (added during the renovation) because it exceeds the height for center city buildings. Whether this ever happens or not is uncertain, but beware of booking there in case the government actually follows through with the condemnation. We were unaware of this when we were there, but I am certainly glad this action was mandated. https://neoskosmos.com/en/2023/07/15/news/greece/hotel-that-blocks-view-of-acropolis-ordered-to-demolish-top-floors/ https://news.gtp.gr/2023/07/13/greek-tourism-ministry-shuts-down-athens-hotel-for-construction-violation/ Edited July 31, 2023 by marazul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwendy Posted August 1, 2023 #23 Share Posted August 1, 2023 In April we stayed at the Ad Athens hotel, great location, metres away from Acropolis museum, and walking distance to most attractions. Rooftop patio with sensational views of Parthenon and Acropolis and the owner and staff were exceptional. Also great Greek breakfast on rooftop patio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
