Art Gallery Hotel - Athens

Awesome place, offers everything I need, including reliable wi-fi, air conditioning, and luggage storage. On my first stay, the staff shared a great local taxi tip, which I still remember. Highly recommend it for a city trip!

It has a great location, close to the Acropolis, the Plaka and a metro station; yet it is a quiet neighborhood. We liked Alexis, a very nice (bald) guy there who is very helpful, very social and has a great sense of humor. We also liked a friendly lady at the front desk. The breakfast is one of the top two best among the nine hotels in our stay in Greece.

The air conditioning was not working properly. Our room was very warm, and when we turned it in, it leaked. Some drops bounced from a piece of furniture directly to my forefront, which woke me up. There was also a young woman of African descendance nn the breakfast area who was unfriendly and seemed to be pissed off or just hates her job. I said 'hello' to her and she didn't even bother to answer.

The hotel was in a marvellous location, to a Cafe down the street. Had supper enjoying drinks at nearby Sfika. My single room was perfect with fantastic view. Having shower facilities and fresh towels was a bonus...

The balcony provides an excellent view of the surroundings. The vintage charm of the hotel gives it character that's hard to find in more corporate places.

The hotel feels quite dated, with too few wall outlets making it inconvenient for charging multiple devices. Small desks are barely functional for working on laptops, and the old key locks can be frustrating, with one key breaking and going unfixed . The lack of mosquito protection for the balcony doors limits your ability to enjoy the fresh air without being bothered.

The helpful staff can recommend local dining spots that are off the tourist path, providing an authentic taste of Athens.

good location, near the acropolis and metro station.

I enjoyed 1 night in this property. The venue was clean and the stuff where super-friendly and outstandingly accommodating. Had great-sized and nicely furnished room with the bathroom and duvet and the terrace for a such wonderful stay. The location was incredible for me, very close to the metro & walking distance from the Parthenon. All the dishes were good, nevertheless you can visit nearby Sfika.

- Charming vintage feel, clean and comfortable rooms, kind staff, excellent quiet location

The staff were uniformly wonderful and extremely helpful. They are also concerned about their guests' safety as evidenced by the fact that the concierge/receptionist was standing on the front stoop wringing her hands and about to call the police when I failed to show up as expected. I had requested a cab to the airport and was very clear about the pick- up time being 11 am. Stupid American that I am, I set my watch ahead 9 hours during my layover in Frankfurt never realizing that Greece is yet another hour ahead. I went out for my last wander sauntering up to the hotel at 10:45 my time but 11:45 Athens time. The concierge had the taxi driver waiting and thankfully, I had settled my bill the day before. By some miracle, the cabbie got me to the airport in 21 minutes (harrowing!) and I made my flight to Santorini. Tourism in Athens is down 40% due to their economic woes and everyone is feeling the pinch including the Art Gallery Hotel. They were very welcoming and gracious and I would recommend them without reservation. They are situated on a quiet street that is convenient to EVERYTHING. The Acropolis was less than a 10 minute walk away. You really feel like you;re staying in a residential area rather than the center of town. For me, that was a huge plus.

It would be great if there was a wall-mounted bracket for the hand-held shower so you could actually take a shower!

We got a room with a bath.

cozy patio with a view of the parthenon

clean environment, excellent location

small breakfast area

For a family of 4 the room was a great size for all of us and luggage. From the balcony we has a special view of the Parthenon on the Acropolis (terrific at night). Breakfast was included and quite a good continental spread. Location to the main attractions was excellent too. Safe area, some good authentic eateries near by - try Ambrosia (ask hotel staff for directions). Staff were extremely helpful.

Not the newest hotel going around, however, for the price, location and size we would go back.

Acropolis is about 200 meters away. Location is excellent. administration is polite. Clean.

Toilet and bathroom shared by 4 rooms. In the hallway. That's terrible.

Location is quiet yet close to dining options.

Beautiful location.

Dirty in the room.
