Areos

I stayed for several days. The bed was very comfortable, was able to sleep well and detected no noises from street or hallway. The WC was clean and had good fixtures. My room was particularly small, however, I had a huge balcony which was ideal for enjoying the spring weather. Mount Lycabettus was within view. Days later I was on Crete and I realized I had accidentally left behind clothing and a tripod. I called Areos from Crete asking if they had the items. Sure enough, they did and they kept them safe for me until I picked them up over a week later. That was wonderful and much appreciated. This location was very convenient for attending the School of Greek Language and Culture-- just a 5 min walk.

Huge private terrace with great views and good for chilling out. Comfortable bed. More of a residential neighborhood. Transport links. Good bakers and cafes nearby for breakfast. Good restaurants and bars in Exarcheia and around Biktoria.

We always stay at Areos when we visit Athens. The hotel is very close to the National Archaeological Museum. It is also very handy for a number of good restaurants and bars around, the once troubled but now in the process of gentrification, Plateia Exarcheion area.

The location was central. I was advised by a local in places to avoid and so we booked a place at Areos last minute and I’m glad we did. The security and layout was amazing. Our rooms were tidied properly with fresh towels, shower gel, body lotion, toothbrush and paste! I thought that was so kind and thoughtful seeing as we forgot to bring our own toothpaste. It wasn’t a hassle for the first night/morning. The guy at the reception was so kind to give directions on where to go eat and even offer us compatible adaptors to charge. It was a short stay but pleasant.

This boutique hotel is in a great location. The addition of balconies is a real bonus. In top of all that, the staff is so accommodating with information & suggestions. They remember you from visits the year before and really care about your experience.
