Fodor's "Bright, comfortable guest rooms—some of them recently renovated—have cheery yellow paintings and relaxing earthly hues." Full review

About a dozen rooms look toward the Acropolis: ask for Rooms 401–405 for the best views.
Lonely Planet "This sleek modernised hotel offers an attractive combination of contemporary style and an old-fashioned welcome. ... The rooms are attractive, with big comfortable beds." Full review

The only issue is traffic noise from busy Syngrou; you're better off as high as possible, and on the front (Falirou St) side of the hotel if you're a light sleeper.
Star Service "In an excellent central location, walking distance to the Acropolis (10 minutes on foot) and a variety of good cafes and bustling but pleasant shopping streets, this is an older staple with a new look." Full review

"Rooms are compact and basic in style, but comfortable and modern enough for tourists looking for a pleasant place to sleep... many have private balconies." Full review

Frommer's "What was once an undistinguished... hotel from the '70s has morphed into one of the coolest and most stylish designer hotels in the city." Full review
Insight Guides "You will either love or hate this startling ‘design’ hotel, with its lollipop colour scheme of panels everywhere from reception to the balconies."
Concierge "The value is not to be sneezed at. Especially if you're cool enough to take advantage of the scene-y rooftop pool and Air Lounge Roof Bar."
Fodor's "Reveling in minimalist glam, this attractive boutique hotel has relaxing and expertly decorated rooms, a plugged-in staff, and two restaurants that feature nouvelle-Mediterranean cuisine." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Fresh is quickly becoming a jet-set hangout thanks to the rooftop pool with views of the Acropolis and the nouvelle Greek cuisine at Orange Bar." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The closest design hotel to the town centre, Fresh combines minimalist chic with shockingly vibrant colours, right down to the balcony partitions."
Rough Guide "Glossy, high-end hotel in the heart of the market area. Lavish use of colour, elegant furnishings and great lighting and bathrooms, though you do wonder how long it will stay looking fresh."
Star Service "Around the corner from Kotzia Square and the central food market hall, 300 meters from the Omonia metro station, this is one of the city's most notable recent arrivals." Full review

"Panoramic views of the Acropolis from the rooftop bar attract a cool kid crowd, but parts of the neighborhood are a bit rough, so think twice before walking alone at night." Full review

Book a room on a higher floor to avoid street noise.

"Couples who want a taste of trendy Athens head for this hip downtown hotel, with a coloured plexiglass façade, rooftop plunge pool and an edgy vibe." Full review
