Amalia Hotel Athens

The staff: reception, bar, cleaners and restaurant were all very friendly, polite and professional. Location was great. 15 min walk to start of Acropolis. The tomb of the Unknown Soldier across the road. Tour bus stop also across the road. 10 minute easy walk to bars, tavernas etc. Breakfast was more than adequate.

This is the hotel I stay at every time when I come to Athens. I'd like to thank Mrs Julia and her staff at the front desk for their friendly and professional attitude towards hotel guests. The breakfast is also fresh and the variety is truly wonderful. The breakfast staff is very helpful and friendly. The free Wi-Fi is strong and problem-free. The hotel is within walking distance of all the tourist attractions. There are many excellent restaurants in the area. The airport bus X95 is right next to the hotel, a 3-minute walk away. The hotel is very clean, and everything is perfect.

The Amalia Athens was the first of 4 in the Amalia chain we experienced on a tour we booked, and I really liked all of them. The Athens hotel is incredibly convenient, with Syntagma Square and the metro only a block away, and the national gardens right across the street. Our room was very comfortable with a balcony that looked out at the gardens. Staff was all very friendly and they were on the spot ready to help as soon as the taxi dropped us at the door. We got a thorough orientation to our room and a tour of the rooftop restaurant, which is a real highlight of this hotel. The food is gourmet-level quality and its panoramic view that includes the Parthenon and Lycabettus Hill is stunning. There is also a large dining room on the mezzanine level that offers a massive buffet breakfast, also excellent. Be aware that all the hotels in Greece charge a 10 euro/night environmental fee that you can either pay when you check in or have added to your bill, and also that the double bed might be that euro-style arrangement of two twin beds moved together. We actually wanted twins so just needed to move them apart - I'm not sure if they have a single-mattress, king option or not so if that's a critical feature you'd want to ask about that. Overall I thought it was great value for the price and would stay there again.

Fantastic location close to Syntagma Square and the Plaka district. It is within walking distance of most attractions and has a wonderful view of the Acropolis from the top floor. Great breakfast, comfortable bed and pleasant, helpful staff. Coffee and tea making facility provided in the room.

The hotel's location is excellent. Right next to Syntagma square, therefore walking distance to Syntagma tube station. Furthermore, all famous landmarks are within walking distance like the Museum of the Acropolis, the Parthenon, Monastiraki, Plaka, Thiseio, Ermou street (the most famous high street of Athens). The National Garden is right across the hotel, highly recommended for a stroll and then carry on down to Zapeion or even to the Panathinaikon stadium. Last but not least, the tram line passes right in front of the hotel, albeit slow it offers a nice opportunity to travel down to the southern suburbs of Athens, like Faliro and Glyfada (Athens riviera). The Greek Parliament is also situated down the road from the hotel, which means that this area is very safe! The hotel has an agreement with a car park on Xenofontos street right next to the hotel (there is an additional charge per day), which is very convenient if you are renting a car. The breaksfast was very good too, with a lot of choices.
