The Koukaki Residence

Conveniently located in a quiet area near the Acropolis and public transportation. The staff is friendly, helpful, and provides useful advice. Some amenities nearby include restaurants and shops.

Really nice small hotel with individual studio apartments. Great neighbourhood to explore - residential, fairly quiet, lots of restaurants and bakeries and shops to look around, and very close to the Acropolis. Konstantinos gave us a huge number of recommendations for restaurants and bars, and the ones we went to were fantastic. Good air con and good water pressure in the shower. The only note is that there's not really as many kitchen facilities as you'd expect from a place that says it has kitchenette facilities, there's a fridge, a sink, a kettle, a Nespresso maker and a sandwich press.

I had a very enjoyable stay at The Koukaki Residence during my visit to Athens. Konstantinos - the owner - was a charming and helpful gentleman. He was responsive to my inquiries and prepared a round-trip airport-hotel transfer service for me. He also recommended some cafes and restaurants in the area for authentic Greek food and drinks. The place was walking distance from the major attractions: 10 minutes to the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum, 15 minutes to Plaka, 20 minutes to Monastiraki, and 20 minutes to Syntagma Square. There were plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, bars and supermarkets/groceries in the neighborhood. There was no noise in the evening because the nearest main road was a block away. There was an open area with tables and chairs underneath a lemon tree - a nice place to have coffee or tea. I had the Daphne room which was spacious and clean, with comfortable bed, pillows and blankets, functioning hot showers, temperature control, dining table and chairs, sofa, cabinet, and other basic amenities such as electric kettle, nespresso machine and fridge, as well as plates, glasses, spoons, forks, knives, coffee and tea. I was likewise given orange juice and bottled water as welcome items. The tap water was potable, too. Most importantly, the price for each night was reasonable. The place was well-maintained because it was a family property handed down from their grandmother. I highly recommend The Koukaki Place to everyone travelling to Athens, especially first timers. Sending many thanks to Konstantinos from Manila, Philippines!
