Overview
Introduction
This is Sunvil’s traditional hotel, where we all like to stay when we are in Athens. It’s very much a Sunvil Hotel, low key, very conveniently located in a quiet, upmarket residential area below the Acropolis (289 metres) and a short stroll to the Acropolis museum (85 metres) and Plaka. Syntagma square, the city centre and the shopping district is a 15 minute walk. Much of the area that covers the archaeological sites is pedestrian and this is 100 metres from the hotel as is the metro station.
The staff are helpful and the majority have been there for many years. The hotel has a roof garden, restaurant and bar with probably the best views of the Parthenon and the Acropolis museum. The reception area, lounge area, the atrium restaurant and bar have a homely and relaxed feel.
A welcoming, central Athens hotel and a very good base from which to explore the city.
