Pros: Terry the receptionist couldn’t have been more helpful and gave us free coffee whilst we waited for our room to be ready. Then he wrote out an itinerary for the 2 days we were there which we followed. The Location is great as The Acropolis is just a 10 mins walk, The Agora is 10 mins in the opposite direction and the markets of Monastiraki are about 10 mins walk too. The Thissio Metro is 7 mins from the hotel so very good for travelling further afield. Cons: The hotel has not been maintained and the roof top restaurant is derelict and is dirty and used for storing old pieces of wood. What a waste of a rooftop with a view of the Acropolis. The photos on Expedia of the dining room is not what we saw and we had breakfast in the bar area. Our room had patio doors to the balcony but one door had broken glass in it from top to bottom so we had to be careful opening and closing it in case it shattered. The Fridge door was broken inside so we had to use the shelves instead and not the door. The bathroom door was glass and had dropped from its hinges so it did not close. We also noticed that the smoke alarms were taped up and there were no fire notices anywhere in the room or outside in the corridor just the lit up green light. This hotel is said to be a Non smoking hotel but obviously this proves it is not. Expedia need to pay it another visit and reassess it as it’s no way a VIP Access hotel.

Wow, it’s was a perfect room with a gorgeous view of Parthenon. It was very clean, quiet. Staff were very nice and polite and very helpful. Breakfast was very good and was delivered to the room. We really felt like a VIP. Very short walking distance to Acropolis and a lot of dining options. We are very please and will return to Thissio next year.

The Hotel positives are: cleanliness and location. I don’t know why the hotel is a VIP Hotel as there was no acknowledgement of the status and the perk was only given after reminders two days later. At check-in we’re told breakfast was served at 8 am but no one really cared, they said they usually have buffet but now there is a construction site. After two attempts to have breakfast at the hotel, which was a stressful experience, we decided to have breakfast elsewhere. Most of the staff is unfriendly, housekeeping is done deliberately, the corridors are noisy. There is a television but only with greek programmes and when having a shower water is running from all sorts of areas.

Do Not Stay Here
Hotel was under renovation so banging and noise from 8am until as late as 10pm. No breakfast as stated when booked. At check in, the staff were not even aware of our booking! Staff very unprofessional, no clue who was actual hotel staff or workmen. Did nothing extra to make our stay better whilst it was a building site. One night we were awoken around midnight to another couple entering our room. This turned out to be one of the male staff from the hotel who had brought an unknown female back to the hotel to use an empty room. He got keys to the wrong room and just walked straight into our room. When we got dressed to investigate the hotel reception were not helpful at all, denying it had happened and staying it was not possible someone else had come into the room. It took us to go back upstairs to get the male from the hotel to admit what had happened. Absolutely disgraceful service. No apology from either the male involved, hotel reception or hotel management. Clearly an acceptable culture within the hotel. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone! Completely tainted our holiday and memories of Athens.

Excellent property with stunning view of the acropolis! Would highly recommend this place. Unfortunately we weren't able to participate in the breakfast, but they did bring us a little something to take with us the night before we had to leave early in the morning to fly out. We would definitely stay here again. This time was my wife and I and our 14 month old.

Amazing views
Fabulous room with amazing views ad a brillian location, roughly 15 mins away from the key sights. Easy to reach from Monistiraki station. Given it's location on a pedestrianised street, with lots of cafes and restaurants was pleasantly surprised by a lack of late night noise. Very comfortable bed. Only slight grumble was the sound proofing between rooms, especially with the laminate flooring. When people upstairs or next door were walking around it sounded like they were in the room.

This hotel is in a great location for a one day visit to Athens. It is close to the Acropolis and good restaurants. It is also close to a cobblestone walk way that a lot of people stroll and shop on. Our room faced this walkway and it was very loud until 2 am. Also there was only a tub, no shower.

Absolutely delighted with our stay
We were nothing but impressed with the Hotel Thissio for our two night stay in Athens. The taxi driver from the airport told us we had the hotel with the best view of the Acropolis on the way in and we weren’t disappointed. We had booked the suite which undoubtedly does the job. Easy check in with friendly staff who helped with our bags. Clean and spacious room with a lovely sized balcony overlooking the Acropolis and the cobbled street in front which has numerous terraces and restaurants giving a wide choice for food and refreshments. Walking up the Acropolis took just over 10 minutes and we found that the hotel was extremely well located for walking to most of the key sights that we wanted to see (Parthenon, Panathenaic Olympic stadium and Lycabettus hill) which were all well worthwhile with some lovely places in between (Acropolis Museum, national gardens, Greek parliament and more). We would thoroughly recommend at the very least for a short stay. The staff were brilliant. Friendly and efficient, they helped with printing some papers for our ferry trip, booked a great taxi and supplied us with breakfast in the room the night before our early morning departure. For our honeymoon, we could not have envisaged a better start, and when we saw a number of bigger and more expensive hotels, we reflected on even after a lot of research, how lucky we had been to choose the smaller and more intimate Hotel Thissio. A charming hotel in a charming area with charming staff!
