Great location, friendly staff

Hotel was perfect, from location, to our welcome. We were just going to drop bags at 0900 after our cruise, instead we were escorted to our room; Room had a nice balcony with a Parthenon view along with included bottle of wine. Comfortable bed, and nice size room. Hotel arranged transportation both from the port and to the airport. Both were at a good price.

Great stay!

Spend 5 nights together with my partner over New Years at Altar Suites. We had the room with Acropolis view. The room was spacious, modern and clean. And the best part was of course the balcony with the lovely view. Location was perfect with walking distance to all main attractions. The staff was very sweet and helpful through our stay, and if we go back to Athens we would not hesitate to come back to Altar Suites.

It may not have the fancy welcoming lobby you see at other places nor does it have other facility amenities, in fact it has a tiny apartment like entrance with the tiniest elavator but the service was excellent. Our check in went smooth, our room very clean, comfortable with simple decor, our balcony view was stunning. You can see an unobstructed view of the acropolis and hephaestus temple. The location is superb. Walking distance to all the the neighborhoods of Central Athens. Overall good value for the amount of money we paid. Definitely recommend this place.

Altar Suites is in a fabulous location and has an unbelievable view of the Acropolis. It's surrounded by too many restaurants to count, including the unlikely (but good) James Joyce Irish Pub across the street. The Monastiraki area is a fascinating place in which to walk around and shop. Breakfast was part of the deal and is served at the cafe next door. The only thing we didn't really like was the unusual check-in/out process. There isn't a traditional front desk. Instead, you are emailed a code to get in -- which should have been fine but we were having difficulty accessing our email during our travels and panicked a bit about getting in. Luckily one of their staff called me with the code (Phew!). After that all was fine.

Amazing staff, great location!

The gentlemen who checked us in was an angel. He was gracious and kind and allowed us our room access early, This location is perfect, quiet and close to everything! We had a wonderful deck that overlooked the neighborhood. The only criticism I have is the room is a bit small, so I unpacked things from my suitcase outside on the balcony. There was not much room to move around between 2 of us staying in the room.

Beautiful hotel

This is a very nice, modern hotel with a beautiful view of the Acropolis. The manager went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. BUT the location is in a very noisy, touristy part of town with a late night open air club next door playing loud music. Great if you like the action.

It was a grate surprise to see not only the view but the fine design of the room. The lighting was a particular feature of this room. The location is perfect, close to the archeological sites, restaurants and cafes. The room sound isolation is unbelievable!!! You can rest without hearing the street noise. The hostess were very friendly and professional. In summary we very please to recommend Altar Suites for your next trip to Athens.

Great hotel, nice and clean, good amenities and great location close to everything we wanted to visit on this occasion. Only issue was that as the communal areas eg stairwell and entrance were all hard surfaces and the rooms opened to this area, so you could hear every door opening and closing especially the front door which slams shut and also the conversations in the corridors. Luckily we didnt let this bother us as we were only there a short time. Saturday night, the neighbouring bar turns into a nightclub which ran past 1am so you felt the vibrations but once again didn't let that bother us. Last gripe was that we had an Acropolis view which was superb but whenthesun hits the correct angle you see that the windows are not the cleanest. Oh and last thing was that the neighbours bathroom window overlooked our balcony which was very odd. Still, a great place for a few days to enjoy lovely Athens.
