Find 5-Star Hotels in Athens

"Excellent location near Syntagma Square and walkable to all tourist spots. The staff were cheerful and attentive, and the room was well-equipped (comfy bed, slippers, and toothbrush provided). The best part was the breakfast buffet on the rooftop with a view of the Acropolis. Highly recommended!"

"Great location, 5 mins walk to most attractions. Service is below average on a 5-stars hotel standard, or can say quite minimal service, more “help yourself “ style. Room is quite small. One of the selling points of the hotel, the rooftop view, wasn’t available. Overall it feels like a nice 4-stars hotel sitting in a very good location, but definitely below expectation on a 5-stars standard."

"Highlights: beautiful views of acropolis and surrounding area from rooftop bar/restaurant space (also where breakfast served), buffet of good standard and restaurant staff very polite and a credit to the hotel. Improvements: reception staff generally very helpful but one particular staff member was not forthcoming with information/recommendations for restaurants/ details regarding late check out - we were always referred to come back later/following day to reception to ask someone else; when same questions asked later to a different member of staff, they were more than happy to help with all enquiries. Room: no ‘do not disturb’ sign available, housekeeping knocked on room at 9am every day, which woke us up; also housekeeping entering room after knocking on door without waiting for guests to respond; need some adjustments to respect privacy or guests; hotel corridors are very stuffy even in winter time Overall: a very pleasant stay"

"A luxurious hotel, amazing hospitality and service from the reception staff who received and listened to requests for a room change, professional and friendly service at the wonderful and high-quality breakfast, the lobby restaurant staff is professional and helpful. Thank you to everyone for making our stay at the hotel pleasant. This is how you maintain a high standard.🎆🍾🫶"

"The hotel room was quite spacious for European standards, but dining options nearby were a bit limited. Breakfast was good, and you could see the Acropolis from the rooftop, which also had a pool. It was too cold to even think about going out. The hotel service was excellent; they even helped me check in around 12 PM when I arrived."

"Compared to the central location of the Concorde Square, the simple room decoration here also complements each other. Special praise for the top floor restaurant, absolutely Michelin, the waiters are also very decent, great"

"This is not a 5* hotel. A good 3*. It does not meet 5* standards. The rooms are too small. Very small, even. Instead of a restaurant, there is a small breakfast room. After arriving by taxi, no one came out to take our luggage, this is standard in 4* and even more so 5* hotels, because the receptionist was alone. The decor is very austere and simple. An ordinary building fitted between old tenement houses on the Square. The view from the windows is terrible at the walls of the neighboring, neglected buildings. No parking or even a parking space. This is a problem, because if you arrive by taxi to get off and unload your luggage, you will block the traffic on the entire street. No bar, no real restaurant. No possibility of going to the roof, where you could arrange a terrace with a view of the Acropolis. Breakfasts are good and very varied, but everything is cold and cold. Fried eggs are cold. Coffee is good. Breakfast products are of good quality. The lighting, air conditioning and window blinds control system is easy to learn and simple, but it's a headache because when you leave the room, everything resets and you have to set it up again via the smartphone app when you come back. In reality, it takes much longer. The blinds don't do their job because they're too far from the windows and the room is bright at night. The bathroom is nice but cramped because it was designed without any idea. Instead of a washbasin, there's a huge sink that takes up 1/3 of the bathroom, and too much glass between the toilet and the washbasin, not needed for anything but limiting the space. The water spout in the washbasin is too long, it interferes with washing and the water splashes on your clothes. The toilet bowl is good for women or eunuchs because it doesn't provide space for male organs. The shower is good with high water pressure. Easy to adjust. There are no sockets by the beds, only a USB-A socket, this is an old solution."

"Review for NYX Esperia Palace Athens – Luxurious Stay with a Few Caveats We stayed at NYX Esperia Palace Athens for four full days – two couples, each in an Executive Suite with access to the business lounge. The welcome was warm and efficient, and we received our rooms exactly at 3:00 PM, as per hotel policy. The suites were clean, stylish, and well-equipped with amenities such as disposable toothbrushes, shaving kits, loofahs, a hairdryer, and more. One of our suites, located on the 7th floor, even had a partial view of the Acropolis, which was a lovely bonus. The room’s climate, lighting, and curtains were all operated through digital controls, designed to pamper guests — although, in practice, they were not very intuitive and required a bit of trial and error. For instance, turning off the bedside light required getting up and walking to a control panel. The TV included Israeli channels (11, 12, and 13), which we appreciated. Breakfast on the 10th floor was excellent, offering a wide variety of high-quality options, and the waiter service was above average. One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional care provided by Ilia, the hotel's Public Relations Manager. She guided us almost from the moment we arrived until we left — recommending excellent tavernas, booking taxis, restaurants, and arranging a private guided tour. On our last day, we were also warmly greeted by Dionysia in the lounge — charming and attentive. That said, there were some drawbacks: Reception service was inconsistent – not all staff members were welcoming; some appeared cold or offered forced smiles. The business lounge was disappointing – small, crowded, with modest food and drink offerings and uninspiring seating. It felt more like a repurposed room than a proper lounge. The pools require advance reservation, with no room for spontaneity. Usage hours are segmented (e.g., 1–4 PM or 4–7 PM), and spots after 7 PM are very limited. The rooftop pool area is crowded, and the adjacent restaurant is also open to non-guests. Rooftop restaurant experience: One evening we returned from a night out and hoped to enjoy a drink with a view. Although two front-row tables overlooking the Acropolis were available, we were initially told they were reserved. Minutes later, we were informed we could sit there for a €25 minimum spend per person. The sudden shift from ”reserved” to ”available for a price” was off-putting — especially as hotel guests staying in suites. The guided tour recommended by the hotel involved nearly 4 hours of driving during a 5-hour trip, leaving us with very little time at each stop. We suggest skipping it. Bottom line: The hotel is modern, very clean, and the suites are luxurious. Service is mostly excellent, particularly thanks to Ilia and Dionysia. However, don't count on spontaneous access to the pool or rooftop restaurant — enjoying those requires planning ahead, much like booking a theater show. If you value well-designed suites and structured experiences, this hotel may be a great fit. If you’re looking for flexibility and full-day pampering from hotel facilities — you might find it a bit limiting."

"Staffs are super friendly, breakfast croissants are freshly baked. Location is fantastic for family, opposite a beautiful small park. Rooms are clean and there is very nice lotion brand. The only issue is that the beds might have small bugs, we got a lot of bites after three day stay."

"Having stayed at this hotel multiple times during my visits to Athens, I can always count on the excellent service from the front desk. My flight arrived in the morning, and unfortunately, there weren't any rooms available yet, but they managed to get one ready for us before 1 PM, which was great. The universal adapter I brought didn't work in the room, but luckily, I was able to borrow one from the business center. Breakfast was decent, and it's about a 20-minute walk to the Acropolis."
