Athenaeum Eridanus Luxury Hotel

2 adults Stayed here for just 3 nights Nov 11th 2024 Clean comfortable room with a view of the acropolis from the sunny but traffic noisy balcony. Complimentary bottle of water & red wine. Small amount of Tea & Coffee making stuff with tiny cups. Coffee machine & kettle & fridge. But what a strange bathroom, toilet is in the shower, so if you use the shower, which is lovely with loads of massage jets, the floor is soaking all day or night when you need to use the toilet you need footwear on or your feet are wet! There is another shower over the bath, but who wants to use that when there is a fancy one to use 🤔 That is the only thing wrong with this room & it's a BIG thing wrong🙄 Staff are wonderful, really helpful & speak great English🙂 Breakfast, buffet style, included in our booking is ok, not great, usual stuff, not very hot though fried eggs swimming in oil. No fresh made options. No bar as such, we came here to meet up with friends all staying here but no where really to go just for a drink & chat. Roof top restaurant food is great, but not comfortable for just & drink & relax. Nolicoli the waiter/bar man is very enthusiastic about his job, but also a little annoying. The hotel is within walking distance of the main town & if you get the hop on hop off bus, getting tickets from hotel reception saves 5€ per person & they will give you great directions & recommend places. You have to visit FAIRYTALE if you want dessert it's crazy in there & menu is amazing 10 min walk. Also Gelato de Nona is the best smooth silky & delicious gelato I've ever eaten 👌 8 min walk away. Would we stay here again & recommend this hotel, if we ever came to Athens, yes we probably would 🙂 as we have no experience of other hotels in the area. It's only that shower that was a nuisance.

One of the nicest hotels I have stayed in for a while . The staff are really friendly and helpful and the hotel provides nice touches when you arrive , a drink on arrival and a bottle of wine , water and local sesame bar in the room. The room itself was brilliant , get a room with a view of the Parthenon and Acropolis it’s just perfect. The room is clean and smells lovely. The area is within a quick walk of the metro with easy access to the airport and port and a little walk takes you to lots of the lovely sights Athens offers. Breakfast is superb and the staff very friendly .The hotel restaurant and bar on the 6th floor is amazing , again the view is to die for. The food was varied and tasty and staff really professional and kind. It’s a great hotel. Totally recommend.

The Hotel staff was courteous and welcomed us with a drink. Our Junior suite was overlooking the Parthenon, which was amazing. The Room service was amazing - very quick and polite. The food is of good value and is good in proportion as well. The menu is limited, though. We are vegetarians - that further chopped our options. Not entirely sure why, but every time the room was made up, they never replaced the cups and glasses in the room. We had to request from the reception. They were prompt, but not sure why it wasn't done as part of the room service. The hotel's location is not impressive, though. The surrounding area is a bit rough and doesn't have many dining options nearby.

Despite the modest look from the outside this hotel is a true gem; the staff was helpfull, the roof terrace restaurant exceeeded our expectations, the breakfast was good and the rooms were tasteful decorated. A big plus also for the details like a welcome drink while checking in, a bottle of wine in the rooms etc. The best was, however, the spacius balcony with a direct and unrestricted view of the Acropolis.

Incredible experience overall. The staff we amazing and helpful and provided such a welcoming experience. The location was perfect and central. The beds were so comfortable I didn't want to leave!
