Hotels near Church of the Holy Fathers-Metohio of Xenophontos Monastery, North Athens

Good things- staff were all fantastic from reception, (couldn’t have been more helpful!) to cleaner(apart from the so called lifeguard!!) The rooms and hotel was spotless- cleaners were lovely and did an awesome job It’s near to Olympic stadium There’s a shopping mall and a few shops ( great bakery for breakfast ) Free minibar!!! Bad things- quite a way from Athens. Although the tram is a couple of minutes walk and can get Ubers so not a big problem, The pool- great but can’t get near it on Sundays! Was told by the lifeguard that the one sunbed left of only 20 was going to be used by the “owner” and no one was to use it. However the “owner” turned out to be local Greek people with kids, as was the rest of the pool and area! At one point there were 40 kids in a tiny pool, dive bombing and water pistols - I had to tell a few off s as it was getting dangerous and the so called “lifeguard” was too busy waiting on the mum’s and serving them. If someone was in trouble there is no way the lifeguard would have even seen let alone get to them when he was in the bar!! He didn’t bother with the paying guests. It seemed not very good that we were paying £170 a night to use the facilities and locals seem to just walk in and take over meaning you can’t actually use the facilities! You’re paying for while others get it free! Overall the hotel was clean, quiet and staff brilliant, great if you are going to a concert at the stadium as only a 20 min walk, pool scenario let it down! I would just avoid going there on a Sunday!

We chose to return 2 years later and stay longer because this Hotel ticks all the boxes. The location is ideal as more than a few hundred shops including lots of very memorable restaurants are within easy walking distance. The Hotel is not too big or small so the very friendly and helpful staff will always have time to meet your needs. The cleaning staff are very efficient, thorough and may learn your routine so you may have your rooms cleaned while you are out or enjoying your breakfast in the dining room. The breakfast is not a full blown buffet but should easily satisfy all but the pickiest of eaters. We did not tire of the variety even after 3 weeks and enjoyed every visit. The front desk staff even helped us by organising some day tours that were outstanding. Some notice of these requests would be required though, it shows how versatile they can be. This Hotel we consider to be our home away from home, with fresh air and exceptionally quiet rear facing rooms, perfect mattress etc. It is the ideal gateway to Athens. Note: Taxis are all cheap and newish now. Eating out is great value with amazing quality and variety. OMG you will love it!!!

This hotel is in the Kifissia area of northern Athens, surrounded by the rich area of Athens, the living facilities are more convenient, the supermarket is downstairs, and the hotel is 50 meters around, but the taste is average for the Chinese. Hotel facilities are the domestic express hotel grade. If the budget is limited and the luxury is not pursued, this hotel is still good, and the basic supplies are available. Foreign hotels do not have toothpaste and toothbrushes, and prepare them when you come. The hotel staff is not bad, can't say enthusiasm, but you open your mouth, still willing to help you, English communication is no problem. Don't come here if you don't have money, it's a bit far from the airport.

This hotel is brand new and is currently under building renovation as I understood + they are building new pool and restaurant with bar.This makes a lot of noise and this is the only negative thing I can say. Because: The rooms are really new,fresh and beautiful.I had a room with small balcony.Extremely comfy bed,beautiful bathroom.Nespresso with complimentary coffee, full mini bar. The staff was very helpfull and extremely nice,they will manage everything you need. Breakfast are small but it is enough,be sure to try their home made cheese pie and pepper pie.Perfect! The area is also very nice,it is next to park and great restaurants and shopping area. I will be definitely back when the renovation will be done.It is really very nice boutique hotel with high quality.

This hotel is located 5 minutes from omonia station, very convenient to the Acropolis and the Parliament Building. The hotel rooms are square and spacious (compared to other hotels in Athens), with hot water, slippers, toothbrushes, etc. (other hotels do not provide them), but the elevator is relatively slow. There are also many choices for breakfast.

Just finished our trip in Greece. We stayed in Kifissia, in this beautiful and lovely hotel. Everyone was always kind and helpful from the start to the finish. Both my husband and my kids loved it. Reception was always smiling and answering our questions without a doubt.Panagiotis and Marita, lovely people. Restaurant was magnificent and the food/drinks were lovely. We spend most of our time with Giannis and Konstantina on the afternoon . Both of them were always very kind and quick to our needs and orders,even though their plate was always full with people. They give the restaurant what it needs. We also spent a little time with another waiter, I believe his name was Stavros or something similar. He was the opposite of what the previous waiters were and that kind of ruined our experience in the restaurant.He was also rude sometimes both to us and his fellow coworkers. The housekeeping ladies were full of love and kindness and our rooms were always clean. Overall 4.9/5 experience. We will sure return again.

This place was amazing! Location is great was able to walk every where we wanted to see and shopping/eating locations. You are greeted as soon as you walk through the door would defy be booking again when we go back

I booked this hotel on the following key factors: Close to where I want to go. I love to walk to areas, plus there is a metro stop 3 minutes away. Which we used to get to distant places...also when the heat index was high. This used to be a prior hotel, reworked in 2007. An office prior to that and initially a family residence. Pros: - They are really accommodating. We were coming off a cruise ship early in the morning and they stated they would hold our bags so we could go out. As it turned out, our slated room was clean and they let us toss the bags in. They answered questions via email too. They ordered a taxi, which was prompt, to take us to the airport. They have a map you can take and gave recommendations - The included breakfast is good. I like a big breakfast that includes eggs, bread, fruit, yogurt and lots of coffee. - The facility looks a little worn (dull?), but it is nice and it is VERY clean. The beds were very nice too. NOTE: If you have trouble with stairs, you may want to reconsider. There are two flights of about 7 steps to get to registration, and another small flight to an elevator if you need that. We only used it for moving luggage.

#Praise# for the room lighting, mosquito control measures, room size, cost-effective, location, security satisfaction; the room is very clean, the stay is very convenient, the lighting is very good, very close to the Acropolis, the reception brother is very handsome, the service is very thoughtful, really good, next time I come to continue to live here.

We recently spent 3 nights at the Athens Life hotel. It is about a 30 min drive from central Athens and there are plenty of parking spaces right outside the hotel. We were given a warm welcome at Reception and our bags were taken to our room. The welcome note and marzipan were a lovely touch. Our room on the 3rd floor was large, clean and very well equipped. We found the low bed and surrounding ledge quite difficult to get in and out of, so do be mindful of this if you have a bad back etc. Some of the furniture/decor is a little tired, but it didn’t take anything away from our stay, especially given the reasonable price of the room. The air conditioning and WiFi were excellent. Our favourite part of the room was the balcony with stunning views over the mountains. We could have sat on it all day! We had a meal and cocktail in the restaurant, plus room service a couple of times and the food and service was fantastic. The hotel is incredibly peaceful and serene and definitely the place if you want to unwind. We barely saw any other guests our entire stay! A very enjoyable stay!
