Kastro Holidays from AU$2,131

Socrates, the staff manager, is the highlight of this hotel. He offered us a complimentary room upgrade and took the time to provide us useful tour information and advice about visiting the islands. The hotel is very clean. The breakfast was good, but perhaps not quite a four star level breakfast. The hotel owners might consider dropping the advertisement of the rooms having balconies as they are tiny, useful mostly for hanging clothes to dry and with a view toward other buildings where others are likewise hanging their clothes to dry. Our travel mates stayed in another room and were equally impressed with Socrates; they had no interest in having a balcony with a view and so it did not bother them. Some reviewers said that the rooms are not sound proofed and that road noise makes it hard to sleep. We heard nothing and slept soundly. The airport shuttle service was reasonably priced and professional. We stayed on floor 3 and our travel mates were on floor 4.

Hidden Gem. Can’t wait to return to Athens we will definitely be booking here again.

Great Staff, located in the heart of the city. Very accessible to all the locations

Quirky and stylish property conveniently located for the Kolonaki / Exarhia / Syntagma / shopping district areas. Beautiful top floor room in a listed building. There are stairs to climb so be prepared - luggage not an issue as the staff takes care of it. Overall very enjoyable stay... will be back...

The service was 5-star! Anastasia ensured everything was taken care of. She was like a personal valet, watching out for us, giving us recommendations, making sure breakfast was exactly how we wanted, coordinating to be sure our minor maintenance issue (a lightbulb was out) was fixed immediately. The staff carried our luggage up.and down the stairs so we didn't have to. Top notch!
