There were lots of positives about this hotel, but for us we were really disappointed that the balcony was looking across another units balcony and the 2 roof top restaurants were right underneath (e.g don’t wear a skirt if sitting out there) meaning we had to keep our curtains closed the whole time to not have people at their tables looking straight into our room.
The express check in was also confusing, we received all the details to check ourselves in and then got a phone call asking when we would be arriving.
I think if we had of been on a higher floor and on the corner this would have been closer to what we were expecting.
The hotel staff was very easy to communicate with before and during our stay. I had several questions before we arrived and they were quick to respond and extremely helpful. The staff is amazing, they always greeted us with a smile, and were always available to assist when needed. The hotel is clean and always smells great. The attendants who cleaned our room did a great job. The hotel is very clean and well kept. The property is within walking distance to the metro station and the area, although busy and can be noisy, is safe and does not interfere with a peaceful rest and comfort of the room. The staff makes all the difference and you will enjoy your stay here. The hotel is central to all of the sites you want ot visit.
Hotel was perfect, from location, to our welcome. We were just going to drop bags at 0900 after our cruise, instead we were escorted to our room; Room had a nice balcony with a Parthenon view along with included bottle of wine.
Comfortable bed, and nice size room.
Hotel arranged transportation both from the port and to the airport. Both were at a good price.
Spend 5 nights together with my partner over New Years at Altar Suites. We had the room with Acropolis view. The room was spacious, modern and clean. And the best part was of course the balcony with the lovely view. Location was perfect with walking distance to all main attractions. The staff was very sweet and helpful through our stay, and if we go back to Athens we would not hesitate to come back to Altar Suites.
Excellent 360 degree views. Premium property with amazing service. Terrace was a highlight and so was the view of Acropolis from the bed. Breakfast was served by a cafe which has a great service and menu as well.
It may not have the fancy welcoming lobby you see at other places nor does it have other facility amenities, in fact it has a tiny apartment like entrance with the tiniest elavator but the service was excellent. Our check in went smooth, our room very clean, comfortable with simple decor, our balcony view was stunning. You can see an unobstructed view of the acropolis and hephaestus temple. The location is superb. Walking distance to all the the neighborhoods of Central Athens. Overall good value for the amount of money we paid. Definitely recommend this place.
Altar Suites is in a fabulous location and has an unbelievable view of the Acropolis. It's surrounded by too many restaurants to count, including the unlikely (but good) James Joyce Irish Pub across the street. The Monastiraki area is a fascinating place in which to walk around and shop. Breakfast was part of the deal and is served at the cafe next door. The only thing we didn't really like was the unusual check-in/out process. There isn't a traditional front desk. Instead, you are emailed a code to get in -- which should have been fine but we were having difficulty accessing our email during our travels and panicked a bit about getting in. Luckily one of their staff called me with the code (Phew!). After that all was fine.
The gentlemen who checked us in was an angel. He was gracious and kind and allowed us our room access early, This location is perfect, quiet and close to everything!
We had a wonderful deck that overlooked the neighborhood. The only criticism I have is the room is a bit small, so I unpacked things from my suitcase outside on the balcony. There was not much room to move around between 2 of us staying in the room.
This is a very nice, modern hotel with a beautiful view of the Acropolis. The manager went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. BUT the location is in a very noisy, touristy part of town with a late night open air club next door playing loud music. Great if you like the action.
It was a grate surprise to see not only the view but the fine design of the room. The lighting was a particular feature of this room. The location is perfect, close to the archeological sites, restaurants and cafes. The room sound isolation is unbelievable!!! You can rest without hearing the street noise. The hostess were very friendly and professional. In summary we very please to recommend Altar Suites for your next trip to Athens.
