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.

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.

Everything! From the moment I arrived I was so impressed with the staff and the facility. What a way to spend New Year's Eve. I ordered a room service and literally sat at my coffee table eating a Greek hamburger staring at the Acropolis and the amazing fireworks. What a view! The staff called me to make sure everything was satisfactory, let me know when my driver was there the next morning and was very charming bringing me my dinner. The room was gorgeous. Spacious, stylish and had everything you could think of, including a bottle of wine to welcome in the new year! I hated to leave the place the next morning. I could have spent another 2 days just sitting on that gorgeous balcony staring at the Acropolis. I'm not sure what they charge during the season but for the off-season this price was a steal.

The Breakfast / Tea coffee amenities / Wine upon arrival is a +++ for this property. Vide variety of options in breakfast, Wine upon arrival was a personal touch. You guys are best in Hospitality. All the associates are happily smiling and ready to assist at any time.

The property is beautiful the view to acropolis is very nice. It's calm . It'd clean. Breakfast is good. The team is super helpful and forthcoming. We really enjoyed our stay. Will recommend and return despite the flaws.
