The Artist Athens

The Artist Athens was a delightful surprise. From the outside, you might not guess what a gem it is inside. The interior is modern, stylish, and full of character. The service was outstanding—Nikki in particular went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. Our room was good, comfortable, with excellent air conditioning and a powerful shower that washed away the fatigue of a long travel day. It felt safe and welcoming throughout. Although it’s officially rated as a 3-star hotel, it surpasses many 4-star properties I’ve stayed in—especially in terms of service, comfort, and atmosphere. One of the highlights is the rooftop: open to visitors, it features a fantastic restaurant and an astonishing view of the Parthenon. There’s controlled access to ensure guest privacy, which is a smart touch. Breakfast was tailored, fresh, and satisfying—just what you need to start the day. The location is right in downtown Athens, within a 15-minute walk of major sights including the Parthenon. Don’t miss the charm of the nearby backstreets, full of lively local restaurants and hidden gems. A truly memorable stay in the heart of the city.

This is a quaint little hotel that’s big on service. Great options for daily breakfast. The rooms are kept clean and fresh with daily service and towels. A small Nespresso machine in the room helps you start your day. The rooftop bar and restaurant have a view of the Acropolis. Awesome drinks and great view! Location wise you can’t do better, close enough to walk to restaurants, bars and the major sites. Definitely a great spot if you’re visiting Athens.

Although it was not very expensive, hotel surprised me with a nice, modern, industrial style. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Hotel crew was very friendly and helpful making this stay even nicer. Breakfast a la cart were also very tasty with some healthy options. Hotel is located in a city center so perfect for visiting, but might bea little louder during the night especially on the weekends, as there are many rooftop bars in the city center, but it wasn't problem for me. Highly recommended!

Excellent small hotel with friendly staff. They accommodated my breakfast on the day I arrived as I had to leave early the next morning. Great location down a reasonably quiet street. You do hear some noise from the rooftop which is open past midnight but the hotel tries to minimize it with an additional glass door between the stairs and the pod of rooms. Try for the Acropolis view if you can!

Absolutely loved our stay at Artist Athens Hotel in Plaka! The location was perfect—steps from everything. The staff were incredibly friendly, the rooms spotless, and the breakfast was delicious every morning. Special thanks to the reception team for being so helpful. Highly recommended!
