Hotel Airotel Parthenon - Athens

9.8

Hotel staff were wonderful and had a breakfast ready for us at 4:30 am when we left. Would certainly recommend the hotel. Darrel Schuetze

8.6

The location of this hotel is excellent for access to the Acropolis and Parthenon Museum. The breakfast was excellent as well. The bedspread appeared to need cleaning. Otherwise the room was very clean. The bed was a little too firm. Overall, the hotel was a good value for the price.

8.9

The room was fairly basic but very large and all rooms have balconies. The staff was extremely professional and friendly. The breakfast buffet is quite good. The location near the new Acropolis Museum and the Acropoli Metro station made it very easy to find the hotel after flying for 13 hours and made it easy to get around. The location is near the Plaka, too, so all of the restaurants/cafes are close.

8.0

The hotel is very near to the plaka and to the Acropüolis. Just some steps. Excellent to make a break during noon without need to each time by Mertro to the hotel. Friendly employees. Rooms a little bit small.

10

Absolutely one of the best experiences I have ever had at a hotel in a big European city. The staff was very accomodating and helpful, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable.

8.6

The reception staff were particularly helpful and welcoming. The hotel is very central and convenient. Thoroughly recommend.

4.7

4-star rating is not correct, possibly only 2-star. Best asset is hotel's location. Main problem is the cleanliness, especially of rooms: carpeting stained and were not vacuumed during our stay, bedspread used as blanketand seemed never washed, droppings of nesting pidgeons on the balcony, bathroom needs an overhawl. Room has an unappealing odor. All seems the result of poor operational management. Breakfast was good. The physical infrastructure is such that if remodelled it coould really be a 4-star hotel.

5.8

the bad smell going in the room! we had a three beds room

9.5

The location of the hotel is very nice. It is close to the metro station and to the Athens Parthenon.

8.4

We will suggest hotel Airparthenon because the relationship price/quality and location is very good.

8.5

This hotel is aimed at the budget traveller. The staff are excellent and the location is superb - it is only a matter of minutes on foot from the Acropolis, Hadrian's Arch and the Temple of Zeus. There are many bars, restaurants and shops in the immediate vicinity.

6.9

Great location, just 2 mins walking to acropolis. The rooms are really small and the windows open to an inside cube were you can see and be seen from other rooms and the hallway. It's a bit overpriced for what they offer, but the location is very good.

6.2

air conditioned is very old and loud, the reception is very nice but rooms are not at the same quality level.

8.9

la posizione dell'hotel è eccellente per visitare praticamente quasi tutto a piedi, abbiamo usato la metro, ottima, solo per andare al museo archeologico nazionale. la colazione è adeguata e segue la modalità greca, dove abbondano i cibi salati.

9.5

Free internet. Helful staff. Efficient home service. A very good hotel.

9.0

nefer found such good staff! Excellent really. Only I didn't like to pay 3 euros for a Espresso at breakfast

9.3

Good location in Plaka. We would stay here again.

8.5

Every years I visit Greek Island with my family and always I stay at Parthenon Hotel for one or two nights. It is located very close at the Parthenon site and the new Archeological Museum .You can easily walk to Plaka for dinner and shopping. The rooms are not very wide but with all facilities ; at the morning you can eat a good variety of food and fruit.

8.9

We were very satisfied with our stay. The room was excellent, the breakfast more than excellent! Our son said: We come back next year for sure.

7.8

Centrally positioned hotel close to all sites and easy access to metro station. Would recommend it.

8.9

We stayed in Athens 3 times, each time for only 1 night so there wasn't an opportunity to use many of the hotels facilities. We only ate breakfast at the hotel and found it to be delicious. We had to leave very early on one of the mornings so they had provided cereal, fruit & coffee for us. The best thing about this hotel was the impeccable service and friendliness of the staff who really extended themselves to assist us with any requests we may have had. The street is a little worse for wear but the hotel is only about 20 metres from the pedestrian area of the Plaka where there is a plethera of restaurants, bars & shops that seem to be open all night. Of course there is the Parthenon too which doesn't seem real as it sits overlooking the Plaka. This hotel is in a great location and I would thoroughly recommend it as a great 3-4 star hotel.

8.1

Excelente localización a pocos metros de la Acropolis. Tranquilo y límpio. Atención correcta.

6.6

our stay at the airhotel parthenon athens was very good.one complaint!breakfast items that were meant to be served hot, were barely warm,which spoilt an otherwise very good breakfast.

7.8

Very good hotel with personal so much competent. The location is fantastic to visit the major sites in Athens. Breakfast wonderful. Things that wasn´t good : -the first hotel in Athens that I´ve have seen that put a price for keeps your luggage when you go to islands and returns later to the same hotel. -If you have a room near to the sign with the name of the hotel, the lights from it cames inside your room. - the water on the bath varies cold and hot. Nothing of this is very important front of the hotel´s goods and the competence of the employers. I recommend this hotel and I´ll return there so many times as I´ll been in Athens

8.9

Sweet hotel, great staff. A bit expensive, but all Athens seems to be so. Nice breakfast.

8.3

Ask for "matrimonial" if you want a bed for two. Make sure you get an outside room, preferably facing the street which is quiet. Rooms are small by US standards but adequate. Nice breakfast. Very well located.

9.5

We wanted to visit the Parthenon and were pleased to find that the hotel was located so near to the site. Good welcome, good food, good information at the hotel. Only problem was getting there from the bus terminus, the taxi driver had never heard of the hotel and couldn't find it so had to drop us off nearby with about 200yards to walk! Not the fault of the hotel.

9.8

We stayed at the hotel for one week and had a great stay. Especially the reception staff was very helpful and friendly. We can highly recommend this hotel!

9.1

We were very pleased with the staff at the Parthenon -- they were very helpful and courteous. The rooms are nothing fancy, but ours were clean and servicable -- a real value for the cost of the rooms. We would stay at this location again.

7.4

it was our first time to visit athens, stayed overnight, overall we had a good time. wish the website info regarding travel from airport to hotel was updated: construction on the metro line, thus some stops were closed. as per info on how to get to the hotel, we were going to take the metro, we ended up going back & forth: gone to the metro stations, then told to take the bus. and we wasted almost an hour trying to find the property: YES it was very close to the stop, Acropolis but there's 2 exits ... we took the other exit (sorry i cant remember the name & the maps are in greek). but will stay again all in all.

8.8

Staff were quite welcoming and helpful whenever we had any questions about where to go, what to do etc. They had very good knowledge of the surroundings. Room was cleana nd up to our expectations. Breakfast was alright but could be better. However, we were surprised that there were no meals served in the hotel except for very light snacks. All in all, I had a very positive experience at the hotel and I would definitely stay there again when I go back to Athens.

9.2

The gentleman at the front desk was truly very pleasant. He taught us greek when we stayed there....! Definitely a pleasant stay, good breakfast, excellent location!

7.9

The hotel was as good as expected, going by other reviews. The staff were friendly and the breakfasts were good. The only problem was that we had our short break when the riots were happening and most of the places of interest were closed because the workers were on strike.

9.6

I would highly recommend this hotel. The staff were helpful and polite, the room we had was clean and spacious, and the morning breakfast was one of the best we have had in our many years of travel. One caution for those who are bothered by traffic noise, ask for a room away from the street. This hotel is located about a block away from the subway and in the shadow of the Acropolis. We would definitely stay here again.

8.0

Great location to the Plaka for shopping. The front desk was very helpful with our questions and with arranging for a taxi to the airport at a very early hour. We would stay there again

7.0

First we had a room that was very noisy. It was so noisy we could not sleep. I am not sure if the noise was from the elevator or from the air condition, but it was unbearable. Fortunately after one night we had the room changed and the next room was much better.

7.4

Fantastic location to: neighborhood eateries & shops, the Plaka area, to Metro, and a reasonable walk to Parthenon. The room was a bit small but ok in relation to price. The public areas are a little rundown and the carpet in our room was a bit soiled. All in all it was good value for money and we'd stay there again.

3.2

By far the worst 4* hotel I have stayed at in Athens. The decoration was cheap and nasty and everything was badly maintained. Most 3* hotels I have stayed at recently were far better! The quality of the breakfast was very poor and, while the male staff were polite and helpful, the female staff, especially the receptionist that greeted me, were abrupt and impolite. The only "positive" is its location, but then there are many much better hotels near by in the Plaka area. I definitely do not recommend this hotel and for the price I paid (126 euros for a Friday evening) one can definitely find better.

8.8

We stayed in ordinary rooms. The staff was very nice and helped us with bookings of restauants and gave us advices agout Athens.The location of the hotel was great. The only negative thing were the beds. They were very very hard. That´s why we didn´t give tens all over.

8.7

Hotel great location Only problem was the shower didnt work properly.So had to have baths. Breakfast was best in all of Europe.

10

Great location. The staff was very nice. We even had brekfast at 4:00 in the morning!!

9.9

The employes of the Hotel were so positive, upbeat and wanting to help you in any way they could. Our trip was 21 nights out. The nights we spent with this hotel were the best of the whole trip. We are so glad we selected the Parthenon. Thanks to everyone for making our stay so pleasant

8.1

Very good hotel , close to Plaka area , ideal for a weekend visit

9.4

Hotel Parthenon is in a perfect location but on a side street so is quiet. It's 200 metres from the Acropolis metro station where you can easily get the metro to the airport. Staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

9.0

We had a group of 3. The room was spacious enough to accommodate us. The hotel is situated in the Plaka area. Really nice area. Just a minutes away from the Acropolis. Also, it is situated very close to Ermou Street which is a huge shopping street (about a 10 min brisk walk from hotel). Breakfast was just fabulous. Probably the best that we had after travelling around France, Switzerland and Italy. Would highly recommend for anyone to stay there.

9.9

Like most European hotels, this one is not up to American standards. However, it's very good for a European hotel. And whatever drawbacks it had are outweighed by an excellent, helpful staff.

5.3

Room was a bit dirty. Location is close to the Metro and just round the corner from Plaka.

8.6

Muy agradable y bien mantenido. Recomendable.

8.8

Would prefer that the common area's be non smoking.

9.6

We were here two different nights, and we had two different rooms, both were nice, clean and quiet. The breakfast was great!!! and the staff amazing! The location is really convenient: on a small quiet street, 2 min walk to the Metro and close to the center of Athens. Highly recommended!!!

8.8

Our stay in Athens, and our two nites at the Parthenon, were part of our overall trip to Greece - to Crete ( 6 days), Santorini (4 days), Athens (2 other days), bus tour (2 days to Delphi and Meteora), and finally the last 2 days at Athens at this hotel. Thus we particulalry liked the Pathenon's location at the edge of the Plaka district, near Metro station, and a close walk to a number of fine tourist oriented restaruaunts, and lots of shops. Plus close walking distance to the main sites of Athens. Great location, very helpful staff, and a first-class type of hotel. The full breakfast was very enjoyable, with scrambled eggs, sausage and bacon - plus lots of fruit, juice, cereals. Thus you can pay a little more to be near the Plaka area, and you get more if you stay at the Parthenon. Make sure you take a stroll around the general Acropolis neighbourhood in the evening, so you get to see the hilltop setting from a number of views or angles! Finally, the Acropolis site is still undergoing a fair bit of reconstruction as of summer 2008. (See photo).

9.1

Excellent location!. Very near from the most important and attractive points. Vey good service quality. Excellent service attitude from all their employees, mainly assisting us at the front desk. I definitely will advise this hotel to my friends.

8.0

The hotel is perfectly situated reght next to the Acropolis and the brand new archeological museum in Athens. A few minutes walk to the main entrance. It is also very close to an area full of shops and bars and restaurants. An excellent location.

9.7

I was really impressed with Hotel Parthenon. The location to the Acropolis and the Plaka was great. We felt safe walking back to our hotel at nite because of the amount of tourists around. The staff was very courteous and extremely helpful. Prior to our arrival I e-mailed regarding transportation from the airport to the hotel. The letter I received was very detailed and offered different modes of transportation including the prices so one wouldn't get ripped off by taxi. We decided to go by subway, and followed the directions sent by the hotel. They were great which made our arrival a pleasant one. I would definitely recommend Hotel Parthenon. The breakfast was great and offered many items to choose from.

7.2

The hotel location is excellent.You can walk to many tourist sites in 5 or ten munites. The metro station is also close and convenient. The receptionists were very polite and helpful. We feel, for a 4 star hotel, the room condition is a little bid old and the variety of its breakfast should be better- for example add more fresh vegetables.

8.9

Très bel hôtel calme et tranquille à 300 mètres de l'Acropole et du Parthénon, à dix minutes à pied de Plaka. Très bonne adresse.

8.7

Great location

8.0

buon albergo, ottima la posizione, vicinissimo alla stazione metro Acropolis e vicinissimo alla plaka.Il personale é molto cortese. Buona la prima colazione. Unico piccolo neo nella ns. camera non funzionava bene rai-uno. E' comunque albergo da raccomandare.

7.8

A hotel, nothing less....nothing more. However the location is marvellous: very nearby Plaka, metro,etc. Clean rooms, reasonable breakfast and very nearby the place to be! So:a good place to choose.

8.4

Everything was very much ok... however, the internet wi-fi was too weak in our room and I had to go downstairs with my notebook to check my e-mail. I do work a lot using this tool, this is why it's so important to me.

9.9

The Parthenon was located close to many of the places we want to visit while in Athens, made getting around very easy. The hotel was also very close to the the blue line train station which was wonderful for crossing the city to other sites and even getting to the airport. We only had 3 days in Athens so location was key to our seeing the city. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and the staff was very nice and helpful.

8.5

Great location! Convenient walking distance to most historic sites and near metro station for others. Good restaurants very nearby; staff was quite helpful; pleasant stay.

9.2

Very central, free wireless wi-fi, very helpful and friendly on arrival. Breakfast was adequate. 3 mins walk from Metro stop. Furniture on balcony would be useful.

8.1

En realidad el hotel estuvo muy bien,los alrededores del hotel , los inmediatos, es decir la cuadrs del hotel un poco floja, por una discoteca al lado y no demasiado prolija pero por el resto muy bien en general, ademas la ubicacioin exelente.

9.4

The staff was very helpful and professional to all guests. Breakfast was so-so. The rooms have no views whatsoever but the property is very well located near the Parthenon, marble Stadium... Location was my reason for booking. Next time I will look for neighborhood ambiance.

9.7

stayed at the hotel for a few days on two occasions - terrific service - everything just as expected - neighbourhood great, convenient -would stay again sinc good part of our enjoyment of Athens was due to staying at this hotel and particularly the helpfil service from staff.

6.1

Very nice location close to Placa and Acropolis Very quiet array, However breakfeast was very very poor with "dirty" juice of orange , what a pity in this country with so many oranges-trees !

7.0

THE HOTEL WAS IN A GOOD LOCATION- CLOSE TO THE METRO AND TO THE MAIN SIGHTS EG ACROPOLIS AND THE PLAKA DISTRICT. IN GENERAL THE HOTEL WAS NICE BRIGHT AND SPACIOUS, HOWEVER IT LACKED 'SOUL'AND FELT LIKE A HOSPITAL. I FELT THE CARPET IN THE ROOM WAS DIRTY AND THE ROOM FOR A 4* HOTEL LACKED SOME OF THE TOUCHES WARRANTED FOR THE GRADING. THE BREAKFASTS WERE VERY GOOD WITH A NICE SELECTION OF FOODS.

7.8

The hotel and staff was very professional, friendly and courteous. The room was nice and the hotel is walking distance to the Parthenon (about 2 city blocks). Breakfast was also quite nice. I'd recommend a stay her to all my friends.

9.2

Parthenon hotel is close to the main places to visit in Athens (walking) and not in the middle of the crowdy Plaka are so you can sleep. Subway is 100 m so it´s easy to arrive from Airport and bus to Airport is 10 minutes walking like subway line to Piraeus Bedroom was clean and quite big with satellite TV The staff were very polite and helpful (they help us to rent a car with the right fare) and they take our bags the last day before we went to the airport The area looks safe to walk on the night, not too many lights but I didn´t feel unsafe. Continental breakfast with some Greek dishes, lot of different things with different desserts each day. You don´t need to have lunch with this breakfast and Plaka has lot of Tavernas and restaurants to have dinner and places to have a coffe, wine.... Internet on the hotel and WIFI for free on the whole hotel

5.8

3.5 € charge for a cappuccino at breakfast seems too much

9.9

This is the first time I had to take care of accommodations for any of our trips so I put much research into it. I went on Forums and would just ask, What Hotel in Athens would anyone recommend? It seems no one wanted to commit to that question. I am so happy that one person told me to look on Venere for Hotels and ratings. I saw the Hotel Parthenon and saw exceptional ratings so I took the plunge. I had a few glitches with our air lines and I contacted the Hotel via email and they were so helpful. I even requested they have a taxi pick us up at the airport and that way dealing with the language and euro was not something to addrress as soon as we stepped off the plane. They were there holding up our name, and took us directly to Hotel Parthenon. It cost a little more but was worth it to us. They could not be more helpful! The breakfast was out of this world! Two different types of eggs and two or three kinds of meats along with wonderful breads both hard and soft and fruits and vegetables and coffee, OJ and tomato juice and much, much more. The kicker was that we would be having to be in the hotel lobby at 2 A.M. to get to the airport the day we had to leave and guess what, breakfast was ready! They took care of all our tours. I didn't make one call. Needless to say, if you are looking for the best. They are it!! Donna

4.8

+ friendly and helpful staff - Noisy rooms. Not able to adjust temperature in the room. I was there in February, and it was very cold during the night.

9.6

Would definitely recommend. Staff were helpful and informative. Very close to Restaurant area, always felt safe walking home at night.

8.8

Breakfast is limited but the hotel is functional, clean and staff very courteous. When you know the way, metro is only 2mins walk.

8.7

This hotel is an a great location for the Acropolis and also close to the city centre. The Metro station is nearby, and there are several good places to eat nearby. Service in the hotel was excellent.

9.9

Had a great stay. Most attractive feature of the hotel is the location. It is very close to Acropolis and some other major attractions. Breakfast menu was excellent and healthy. Rooms were spacious and as the hotel seats on a quite street close to the main street, our stay was very peaceful.

8.0

Great location, clean rooms, although a little cramped - not enough space for bags. Beds too small; hotel should offer the option of one large bed instead of two smaller beds. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable.

8.9

Wonderfull location and the perfect value. Cable internet included very usefull even if they could cahnge to wireless.

7.4

Good hotel!!

9.7

I really enjoyed my stay at Parthenon. The rooms are clean, spacious and facilities are complete. The breakfast was actually good. The location is very accessible and convenient as it is near the metro and the sites we wanted to go to. I really wouldn't mind going back again and staying there.

8.5

The hotel is right around the corner from the Parthenon and the Akropoli metro station, but the directions from the website were poor and it took me 20 minutes to find the property. The lobby is beautiful, rooms were nice, breakfast buffet was quite generous. The neighborhood is quite tourist-friendly, with many shops and a number of restaurants within walking distance. I would recommend this as a decent hotel, but both nights I stayed I found less-than-adequate cleaning of my bathroom, and the cleaning staff in the morning was quite noisy in the (marble) hallway, waking me up before 8am. A good place for a tourist stay, and the decour is luxurious, but the beds were fairly hard. The staff was quite nice but the taxi they called for the airport charged almost 10 euro extra as a commission for the hotel--get your own taxi.

7.3

The room is exactly as pictured. The only weird quirk about the hotel is that bathroom door doesn't close completely. It is like a sliding closet door, and you see inside while someone is using it. The hotel is in a great location, within walking distance of every site in Athens.

10

This was our first visit to Athens. Were surprised to find how far away the airport is from the city. Caught a taxi to the airport and were charged nearly double by taxi driver. I found it easier to ask someone inside the airport if I could to get a rough idea of the cost - obviously I didn't on this occasion. This hotel was one of the more upmarket hotels. It was as the name says right near the Parthenon and we were able to walk to shops, museums, parks, and most landmarks within the area. If you didn't want to walk you could go into the city area and catch a city sights train around to see the sights. Breakfast was included.

8.6

this was my first time at this hotel, it is a good hotel and would defenitely go back

9.8

Great location for walking to sights. Room clean and quiet, bed extremely firm. Breakfast ample and good.

5.9

The hotel room was tiny!!!!! but since your out and about all day is ok.. Good to have a balcony staff were good Location was ok - even though states is in Plaka is right on the outskirts.. Laundry is expensive, don't do it

8.2

Vert nice and clean place a great location for walking around the old part of Athens Close to all the sights they were all within easy walking distance.. Breakfast was great and Staff very friendly would stay there again.

8.4

Ideal location for Plaka and Parthenon. Quiet street but convenient to everything. Metro just one black away. Best restaurants we found were Psara's and Plaka Taverna.

8.2

It was a pleasure trip. Just for 6 days.

8.7

The Parthenon is immediately beneath the Acropolis hill, and minutes away from the Plaka district with its restaurants, bars and souvenir shops. It is about 20 minutes walk from the Commercial Shopping centre, the Greek parliament, the National gardens, and the Olympic Stadium built for the first modern Olympics in 1896. It is situated in a mostly pedestrain only area away from the traffic, which is ideal for children or seniors. The hotel is clean and bright and the staff efficient and helpful. It is ideal for a vacation hotel in the centre of Athens and its attractions.

8.5

Excellent location within Athens. Very close to the Acropolis.

9.8

There is ethernet broadband in the room, and they even provided a cable when asked; at no cost. Very near to the Acropolis museum(not yet completed Sept 07).

8.6

This hotel was very nice; however, I don't think I would call it a four star, it seems to be a three star on the whole. The rooms were clean, spacious and welcoming, even though we got a twin room rather than the double we requested. The bathroom was also very pleasant. Breakfast included an extensive choice, including cereal, hot food and bread, but was not veggie friendly! The location was excellent, right near Hadrian's Arch and the Acropolis, a few minutes walk from the key 'touristy' areas, on a quiet side road. On the whole, a good hotel to stay at whilst in Athens. Prices are slightly higher than it seems the hotel is worth, but I would definitely stay there again.

9.3

Can't get any closer to the Acropolis. Nice tavernas in the area. Staff extremely friendly and helpful; rooms a tad small, but just sleeping there so no biggie. Highly recommended.

10

This was the perfect location to be in Athens.Near to the Acrocpolis an d the Plaka area..Wonderful staff!!!!!!

8.7

The Hotel met our expectation. Rooms slightly below par and a little tired. Reception 100% in attitude and professionalism. Excellent breakfasr area. Factory standard coffee, scrambled eggs and bacon, but everything else excellent and plenty of it. Location Bang on. Would use again!!

8.0

good hotel, clean, quiet, good service, good breakfast. The facility is somewhat dated and not posh, but it's a matter of style, not of underlying quality

8.3

The location is great. Next to the acropolis or the subway station. The hotel itself is fine. The public area are not a 4 stars standard but the rooms and the staff are perfectly fine and this is what matters.

8.9

The hotel is in a great location, the staff, excelent very helpfull and courteus,the breakfast fantastic, in general will stay at the parthenon again!!. Thank you El hotel esta super bien ubicado, el personal the staff no puede ser mejor, el desayuno fantastico, el cuarto pequeno, pero muy limpo, excelente servicio por el precio
