This is our second time staying at the Ava. It did not disappoint. We arrived early - offered water and orange juice (this orange juice is fresh pressed and delicious). The hotel is just a few hundred feet from many excellent restaurants with outdoor seating and great service.
I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. All of the staff were friendly and incredibly helpful. Reception arranged airport transfer and a tour of Delphi for us with the most wonderful driver. The room was clean when we arrived and housekeeping made it ever so tidy each day. Really impressive. The location is perfect - everything is walkable.
They were very accommodating to my middle of the night arrival. Comfortable bed. Breakfast not included but delicious. Excellent location in Plaka near Acropolis. Friendly staff!
The location of the AVA hotel was perfect. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and the fresh squeezed orange juice was divine. I highly recommend this hotel.
AVA is a quaint boutique hotel located conveniently in the Plaka neighborhood of Athens. There are ample restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. Attractions such as the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum are just a short walk from the hotel. At the end of the street and across a major thruway is Hadrian's Gate. As far shopping there are numerous gift shops as well as upscale fashion stores.
This hotel is right in the middle of everything. The area is called Plaka. We were within walking distance to the Acropolis/Parthenon. Lots of shopping and restaurants. Great place to stay.
Maria was at the front desk and was excellent
Our stay was great, staff excellent in every way. Great location for the acropolis, shopping and restaurants. Accommodations were first rate. Would highly recommend

Lovely hotel. Spacious room, helpful staff! Great location and amazing breakfast!
Only got to stay one night before a cruise but a great night it was. Right in the middle of Plaka and many historic sights. Friendly service. Spacious, comfortable room and nice buffet breakfast.
I can honestly say everything within the hotel including staff was more than welcoming. Everything that we needed help with they were more than accommodating and looked out for our personal needs. The staff was pleasant, helpful, and delightful with every question or concern. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is going to visit Athens. Great place to stay !

Wonderful property, very close to city.
Staff is very friendly and helpful.
We had a wonderful stay. The property is in a great location, and the staff is really nice. Our room did not have a view like most hotel photos show, but that was ok.
The Ava Hotel was perfectly located near the Acropolis, Temple of Zeus, tons of dining options and shopping! All within walking distance. No taxi or public transportation needed.
Excellent location and excellent staff. They helped arrange transportation, luggage storage and directions. Couldn’t ask for a better location for the main sites.
Great service and stay at Ava. Staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was plentiful, rooms were a good size and location was perfect!! Easy walk to everything we needed.

Excellent!
We did a two week Mediterranean cruise and then several days in Paris. Our cruise disembarked in Athens so we spent two days there. Our only regret was not spending more days at this hotel rather than Paris! The executive room was huge and luxurious! The staff were so helpful and the location at the foot of the Acropolis around tons of restaurants and shopping on small streets. It was the best part of the vacation!

This hotel is superb. Customer service is top notch and the rooms are spacious with outdoor space also. My only complaint is we couldn’t stay longer. I plan to be back and this will always be my 1st choice!
The property is in a great location within walking distance to all the attractions in Athens along with great shops and restaurants. Our room had a great balcony view of the Acropolis. The front desk was very helpful and the rooms were well appointed and very clean.
This hotel is the PERFECT location. Step on the balcony and magic... the Acropolis! Short walking distance to many restaurants, lots of shopping and other historical buildings. Magda the front desk employee was awesome. She provided a map letting us know where to find the best of the best and even hooked us up with a private tour guide. Thanks for the great hospitality!
AVA is a small beautiful hotel located in a very good location. It was easy to walk out and be in the center of lots of activities. Staff is wonderful. Very helpful and attentive to our needs.
The location was perfect. Easy walk to Plaka for dining & shopping, easy walk to Acropolis & museum. Staff were so helpful and arranged transportation for us from port to hotel & from hotel to airport. Rooms were lovely, quiet, spacious & clean. Lovely property. Highly recommend!
This hotel is beautiful and well located, right next to all the restaurants and places you need to visit around the Plaka area and beyond. The staffs were amazing! Maria helped us with everything we needed. We felt at home. I'll recommend this hotel to anyone looking to visit Athens.

The hotel is in the perfect location if you are in Athens for holiday. The staff were amazing from the second you checked in and the room was clean and spacious.
AVA is a unique hotel/ You can feel the effort the staff is making in serving the cliants and keeping them satisfyed.
The hotel is located near the Acropolis and the Placa and everything that you want to see (and buy, and eat) is within walking distance.
It was a real plessure staying there and we hope to be back.
Their staffs are supper nice and helpful. The house keeping service is exceptionally amazing. The location of the hotel is very close to attractions, local transportations, and restaurants. Definitely recommend this place if you are interested in going to Acropolis.
This was a perfect hotel for us. Wouldn’t stay any place else. Location in Plaka us perfect. Shopping and restaurants everywhere.
Every member of staff at hotel is exceptional. Pleasant and so
Accommodating. We are vegetarians who do not eat eggs and every morning
They came to our table with
Some special eggless bread so
I could have toast! Buffet breakfast had everything you could ask for. Rooms are spotless and quite large. Highly recommend the executive suite. Great balcony with city and Acropolis view.
A real home away from home feeling.
They were very accommodating. Found that although the picture on the website shows a great view of the Acropolis it was only visible from one of the rooms on the top floor. Our room on the first floor faced the wall of an internal courtyard.
Also, had some decent rolling noise from an unknown source through a large part of the night that kept us awake.
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this hotel, The suite was lovely and had every amenity we needed. The staff were excellent and very helpful. Easy walk to the sites, restaurants and shops. We just wished we could have stayed longer!
