    unbeatable location
    helpful staff
    flooding shower
    poor drainage

    i returned for another stay and loved how much better my experience was. the location is unbeatable—just a 5-minute walk from monastiraki. the rooftop view of the acropolis is breathtaking and adds a special touch to the stay.

    the shower flooded every time i used it.

    great breakfast
    central location
    fragile sockets

    We had a lovely time enjoying the good included breakfast and exploring the central location, which is conveniently just a 10-minute walk from Syntagma Square. The kids especially appreciated the friendly staff who made us feel at home during our stay.

    In my kids’ opinion, the sockets need fixing.

    breathtaking view
    affordable rates

    It was just a great fit for a break on our long journey in Athens at a reasonable price. The view of the Parthenon from our room was breathtaking and definitely a highlight of our stay. Make sure to take advantage of the nearby metro station for easy access to the city and airport.

    epic grilled meat
    tasty twists
    friendly staff
    cramped shower
    letdown breakfast

    The food scene here is legit! Check out O Thanasis for some epic grilled meat and The Greco's Project for tasty twists on classic Greek dishes. Plus, the hotel is perfectly located, just a stroll from buzzing Monastiraki square and the staff is super friendly!

    The shower was a bit cramped with no curtains, so expect a wet floor.

    old-world charm
    fantastic location
    helpful staff
    breakfast variety
    small bathroom

    I really enjoyed my stay. The rooms had an inviting old-world charm with parquet flooring and cozy decor. The location was fantastic, just a short stroll from Monastiraki Square and other attractions. The staff were incredibly helpful, especially when we arrived late at night. They even prepared our room with air conditioning before we arrived, which was a delightful touch!

    The breakfast could use some improvement.

    stunning view
    cozy terrace
    limited breakfast

    I really enjoyed my stay with a fantastic view of the Acropolis right from my room, and the cozy sun terrace was perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring. The only downside was the breakfast options were a bit limited, but with so many great places nearby, it wasn't a big deal. I'd recommend grabbing a coffee from the local cafe down the street to kickstart your day! ☕️

    comfy bed
    reliable ac
    retro vibe
    tiny bathroom
    hot water issues

    The room was comfy with reliable AC, which was nice in the heat. The style is older, but I kinda liked that retro vibe. Beds were decent enough to get a good night's sleep. Only downside was the tiny bathroom—super cramped and the door opens into the sink. Also had some hot water issues, which was a bit annoying, especially for showers.

    neo-classical architecture
    stunning rooftop views
    managable lift
    maintenance issues
    uncomfortable bedding

    The charming neo-classical architecture and stunning rooftop views made me feel like I was living in a postcard of Athens, it was quite lovely! The lift, though old-fashioned, added character and was manageable for my needs.

    More attention needed for room maintenance.

    friendly staff
    great location
    comfortable room
    limited breakfast
    locked exits

    I appreciated the unpretentious charm of The Cecil. The location was fantastic, making it easy to explore Athens on foot. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing assistance when needed. My room was comfortable, with daily cleaning. It was a bit basic, but I wasn't looking for luxury. Breakfast had a decent variety, which satisfied me. However, there were some drawbacks. The breakfast could be improved with more options. Also, I noticed that the fire exit signs led to locked doors, which is concerning. Some features felt outdated, which might not appeal to everyone. Wi-Fi was occasionally spotty, making it tough to plan day trips at times. Overall, it was a comfortable place to stay with some room for improvement.
