A for Athens is now the hotel I choose to stay at for my business trips to that city. Although small and compact (no sweeping staircases or lavish lounges... here) it is modern, friendly and contemporary with good sized rooms and great bathrooms with drench showers. The beds are huge and the bedding is of the best quality, which is important to me. The sheets are pure 400 thread count cotton and pillows are big and soft. The beds are top quality. I've stayed at grand hotels in Athens where the rooms have not been half as comfortable. WiFi is free, which is also a bonus in a hotel these days. The breakfast, served on the roof terrace, is fresh and healthy and at night this space transforms into a funky cocktail bar with views all over the city to the Acropolis. There was a magical new moon hanging in the sky when I was there. Wonderful. Staff are friendly and efficient. You walk out of the hotel straight into Monastiraki square in the heart of Athens. The metro station is next door on the line which goes directly to the airport which is wonderfully convenient. From the hotel, the main shopping street of Ermou is right ooutside and the Acropolis and the ancient sites of Agrora and Plaka just a short walk away. Syntagma Square and the Parliament to see the fabulously camp changing of the National Guard is 15 minutes stroll away. A for Athens is my number one choice now for my Athens trips. by a Hotels.com guest on 05/31/12
