Rooms are nice size and comfortable. At least the one we stayed in which was a little bit larger room. Air-conditioning worked well which was enjoyable because it was very hot while we were there. The bed and other room amenities were nice. The bathroom was comfortable and well appointed. But not overly luxurious. It was our second time to stay there and the location is great for most of the things you want to do for a couple of days Stay in Athens.

Great location and very nice hotel. I don't know if it the value for the money was there, but I did appreciate the high-end amenities, the helpfulness of the staff and the location. We only stayed for one evening to catch an early flight back home, so I don't know if we got the full experience of staying there. Regardless it's a lovely hotel and would definitely recommend if it's within your budget.

This was our first trip to Athens. I struggled with picking the right hotel that was close to all the sites that we wanted to see. We nailed it with AthensWas. It’s the perfect location. Close to everything. Very clean and safe. I walked by some of the other hotels that we didn’t pick up and I’m so glad that we chose this one. I’ll stay there again my next time in Athens.

Overall a good hotel; Fantastic location; Amazing breakfast; Friendly and helpful personnel; The walls of our room were a bit thin, so it was a bit noisy. Also the air condition outside the room was a bit loud; The gym is called Fitness Corner which it is. A small room with not much space and two cardio machines.

Athens Was hotel is a perfectly situated boutique hotel. It lies within the Plaka district of Athens. It has very accommodating and knowledgeable staff. The staff were more than friendly and eager to help whenever they could. The rooms were modern and well appointed. As a bonus, the view from the breakfast room was spectacular. As we had an unimpeded view of the Acropolis. The small details were not overlooked at this hotel. The Senses restaurant, located in Athens Was, is magnificent. It is as if you are eating delicious art.
