Michelin Guide "Contemporary design hotel on the main plaza of a leafy suburb. Flamboyant colour schemes feature inside and out, and are complemented by vibrant modern furnishings."
Frommer's "This is by far the most stunning of the designer hotels in Athens." Full review
Concierge "Most objects in the 52 rooms here are amoeba-shaped and electric-ice-cream-colored—because this is Karim Rashid's first hotel, and that is what he does."
Travel + Leisure "This is an ideal base for schmoozing, but not for sightseeing—it’s a 35-minute metro ride from the city center." Full review

DK Eyewitness "This family-run pension-hotel, named for the artwork on the common–area walls, has received a make over."
Rough Guide "This slightly old-fashioned, family-owned pension with many repeat customers is named for its abundance of original artworks."
Fodor's "Comfortably old-fashioned, with family paintings on the muted white walls, comfortable beds, hardwood floors, ceiling fans, and balconies in many guest rooms that offer views of Filopappou." Full review
EuroCheapo Editor's Pick

Frommer's "Rooms are petite and furnished with an eclectic mixture of Victoriana including marble-topped tables and ceiling fans...there is a pleasing view of the Acropolis from the rooftop bar/lounge" Full review
