We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Athens Retro Hotel. We liked the decor, the cleanliness and the general feel of the place. The staff were very polite, friendly and helpful. The hotel is well positioned for walking to all the attractions, museums, etc. and for eating out in the evening. Breakfast is superb, lots of variety and good coffee, which is complementary throughout the day, plus little snacks and water. The room was smallish, but adequate, with a comfortable bed and pillows.

This hotel is a boutique hotel located 5-6 minute walk away from a metro station. If you are driving there, the hotel does not have parking facilities.

Nothing but good words to say about my trip. The hotel is in a fantastic location. Right outside the Acropoli metro station. Less than a few minutes walk to the south slope entrance of the Acropolis, and within easy walking distance to most of the relevant sites in central Athens.
On the service front. I had a room booked and was extremely early getting to the hotel, around 9 AM. I asked if it was OK to leave my luggage so I could get a head out but was actually given my room early which helped...

We stayed here with our small children and it was wonderful. The breakfast was absolutely delicious! The rooms are very cute & modern. We were walking distance to the Acropolis and all the restaurants and shops. They were very accommodating to our family, and they even gave us pre-packed breakfast bags when we had to leave at 5am on our last day! Highly recommend this hotel!!
