Not For Non Active Guests

This Hotel is completely inaccessibility to facilities for people that require a cane. You have to walk up stairs to get to the elevator to your room. The main restaurant is only accessible to take the elevator to the 6th floor by walking up about 20 steep winding floors. My poor husband had to stay in the room and get food delivered. If you are mobility challenged, this hotel is impossibl.

The service at this Hotel was above and beyond from first contact until we left. They arranged our pick up from the airport to the Hotel but what made it top level service was while we were in the car they called the driver to make sure we had been picked up. Every interaction was above normal level of service and made us feel like the only guest at the hotel/VIP's. When I go back to Athens this hotel will be my first choice.

We loved the AthensWAS

The AthensWAS hotel is in a perfect location if you want to see the Acropolis and the surrounding historic sites and museums. A very easy walk to everything. The hotel is a beautiful boutique design with nice amenities. The staff was wonderful and very accommodating if you need to drop your bags before the room is ready. By the time we returned, our luggage was already delivered to our room. They also arranged a beautiful ride to the airport for us. We will absolutely stay here again when we return to Athens!

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort

view of mcdonald's not acropolis

I had high expectations for AthensWas Hotel given its 5-star rating and premium price (over $500 per night), but my experience was underwhelming at best and frustrating at worst. First, the room I was given faced a McDonald’s and was extremely noisy until midnight each night. Despite multiple complaints, including speaking with the manager, I was refused a quieter room. The room was advertised as a suite, but it was nothing more than a small, standard room with a couple of chairs — certainly not deserving of the "suite" label or the price tag. The hotel's marketing emphasizes views of the Acropolis, yet during my entire stay, I did not have access to any area with a view. The only location with a partial Acropolis view is the rooftop restaurant, which is only open during specific hours — there is no lounge or public space with a view available at any other time. As for amenities, they are practically nonexistent. The gym is laughably small — closer in size to a storage closet, with no windows or ventilation. Overall, the hotel lacks the features, service, and quality expected of a 5-star property. In fact, it barely lives up to 3 stars. If you’re expecting luxury, space, or views, this is not the place. You’d get better value, consistency, and comfort at a standard Holiday Inn for half the price. On top of everything the manager, Dimitris is extremely unprofessional, dismissive and condescending when addressing the "mcdonald's" complaint.
