Makrigianni Hotels, Athens

"The hotel is located in a great area near the Acropolis and museum with lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. During check-in, the front desk clerk was very confused and tried juggling three different check-ins concurrently. This resulted in my room going from being ready, to not ready, then back to ready again in a span of five minutes and was rather confusing. The same thing happened to my friends as well. The rooms are very dated and in need of a remodel. The bathrooms have outdated and dysfunctional fixtures. The shampoo/body gel was empty and wasn’t refilled the following morning by housekeeping, even though I had removed it from the wall and left it out so they’d know it needed a refill. The carpet in the room seems old and obviously hadn’t been vacuumed as I could feel small rocks while walking around in socks. The curtain for the room wasn’t functional either. Fortunately, there is a sliding metal door that could be closed for privacy as the neighboring apartments are just across the narrow street. If you’re looking for location, this is a good choice. If you’re looking for nice accommodations, I’d look a bit further. They do have a nice happy hour with buy one get one free cocktails from 4p-8p daily. However, you’re limited to the cocktails on their menu and you can’t mix and match. Beer and wine are not eligible for the happy hour special. "

"Large clean room. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast selections were very good. "

"Beautiful, comfortable and clean rooms. The breakfast buffet was nothing short of amazing with a wonderful selection and à la carte orders also included. You can also use the spa facilities if you are a hotel guest which was very nice. I would definitely stay again. "

"Great stay in a perfect location, within easy walking distance to the main sites and metro. Great bakery and restaurants within minutes, as well as the Acropolis Museum. Nice hotel, a bit dated, but good bed, shower, spotlessly clean and so on. The staff were excellent and really kind and helpful. Breakfast was really very good. Highly recommended."

"Loved this hotel for our overnight in Athens! Perfect location, clean room, and great staff! The rooftop view is an added plus! We would definitely stay here again."

"The hotel was just perfect, clean and excellent location. If I come back to Athens I would stay in the same hotel. "

"Great stay! Excellent location, fantastic staff, and good breakfast!!!"

"Location, location, location! Plaka, Metro, food and libations each within 5 minutes walk. Very nice breakfast. Excellent 24Hr front desk staff. Best hand-helds in town: out the front door, turn left, left again at the top of the street, go about 100 meters & look for the white illuminated souvlaki sign. I won’t look elsewhere for my next visit to Athens. "

"This hotel was both gorgeous and convenient! Just blocks away from the Acropolis and Plaka. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Would absolutely recommend if you're looking for a place to stay in the heart of Athens!"
