Ava Hotel and Suites, Athens

Great location. Clean, comfortable and affordable. The staff are excellent. Always helpful!

Nothing I loved everything

Location in Plaka was perfect for a one night stay. Nice small hotel with friendly staff. Walking distance to main sites and buzzing tourist areas. As a first time visitor to Athens it was a great location for one night stay.

The hotel was on a quiet street with a beautuful balcony. Very close to all the attractions. The breakfast was amazing. The hotel staff were very helpful. Close to shopping. Has an elevator.

nothing

The room was spacious; the overall facilites were excellent. But the staff is what really makes the difference. In particular Panagoula (sp?) went out of her way to overcome our issues finding a cab one night. Going above and beyond my wildest expectations. They were always welcoming and helpful with directions/recommendations. Highly recommend

Unbeatable location, pristine and comfortable accommodations, wonderfully helpful and hospitable staff!

Mosquitoes - but not sure how much control the hotel has over this!

Everything exceeded our expectations, the staff was very helpful in dealing with the bicycle race that had all of the roads blocked. Location was excellent!

Staff was fabulous. Breakfast was outstanding. Fresh squeezed orange juice. Wow

Staff were very helpful and welcoming. Very clean and comfortable room. Great location.

Nothing!

Everything was great! We loved the location....The hotel is within walking distance of so much that we wanted to see and do. Restaurants are close by. The staff was helpful in making transfers to and from the airport and also making dinner reservations and providing suggestions on where to eat. The rooms are large and comfortable.

Nothing.

We liked everything. It was a lovely place to stay. More expensive than we would normally choose but worth every penny.

There was nothing to dislike.

perfect location, friendly hospitality, Magda from the reception did everything she could in order to help us

Very clean and impression of all new in the hotel. Fully equipped kitchen with Nespresso coffee machine. Big room with balcony. Close to all Historical attractions and the Plaka area.

It's a bit expensive, There are no facilities at the hotel, except breakfast in the dining room and 24/7 reception.

The staff were very friendly. The room was spacious and very clean.

Great location, comfortable room, excellent staff!

Convenient location for sightseeing. Good size room for four people. Nice balcony on third floor.

Good breakfast. Convenient location for sightseeing and access to shops and restaurants. Room clean and well serviced. Staff friendly and helpful. Would recommend deluxe suite.

No furniture on the balcony.

Overall, the visit to the Ava Hotel was wonderful. The breakfast was great, the staff, friendly and helpful, the room was large and the location was perfect. The back entrance to the Acropolis was two or three minutes away. We had no line to enter at 5:30 for a sunset climb. The Plaka with its pedestrian streets and restraurants, also two minutes away, and well at the Acropolis museum.

To make the room a little more comfortable it would have been nice to have carpeting near the bed. Also we had booked a junior suite with a garden view and balcony, but the balcony really only looked out at the building next door.

The property was wonderful! Great location, the room was large and a welcome gift was so thoughtful 😊

I can’t think of anything I didn’t like.

Location was fantastic, room was exceptional and comfortable. We got the executive room which had a bedroom with balcony and a large living room with island with kitchenette and a pull up sofa bed. It was great for 2 adults and 2 children aged 13 and 7. We really enjoyed our time here. Vassia in the front desk really made an impression on us and was warm, inviting and made us feel comfortable immediately on arriving and throughtout our stay.

Everything was excellent. We did not try breakfast as we cooked a bit in our kitchenette.

We began staying at AVA Hotel on our annual trips to Greece about 5 years ago (2018). I initially found AVA using the Trip Advisor ratings. It's a small little "boutique hotel" in Athens, over near Hadrian's Arch. AVA hotel has become our "home in Athens" each year. We have a routine - we fly into Athens on Saturday afternoon, get to the hotel, and then go out to dinner. Sunday morning we get up, have breakfast, and begin our trip by going to the 11th century church of St Katherine's - which is about 200 feet away, down the street. We generally get a Jr. Suite overlooking Lysistratou (the front of the hotel). The view from the balcony is incredible - To the left is Hadrian's Arch, to the right is the Acropolis. After dropping our luggage, the family generally goes out onto the balcony - sees Hadrian's Arch, and says, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....home again!" The staff is wonderful, the rooms are large and clean, and the beds are the BEST! A great way to begin your Greece adventure. And don't overlook the breakfast! They've had the same person running the kitchen for 5 years (Vassiliki). She is just solid GOLD! The breakfasts are extraordinary...and a great way to get everyone together to review the program for the day. We generally measure ALL BREAKFASTS in Greece by comparing them to AVA. For the next couple weeks, each morning we hear, "Better than AVA....nah!" Each year when we come home, the family tells me, "Adjust whatever else you want in our trip next year - JUST NOT AVA." My congratulations to the management of the hotel You have done something remarkable....year after year after year! BRAVO!!!

Our stay at AVA was definitely too SHORT! XAXAXA

Beautiful property and stunning balcony. Great location and staff was amazing!

Nothing. Would book again!

Comfy room. Grear location with short walk to south slope of Acropolis and many other ancient sites. Completely soundproof from street noise.

Unfortunately a fair bit of internal noise from adjoining and upper rooms. We could hear people talking late at night in room nextdoor, taps being turned on, and footsteps above. Not great if you’re a light sleeper.

Quiet clean hotel. Large rooms and VERY well situated. Great breakfast and verybfriendly staff.

All excellent.

Great location, walking distance to Plaka and restaurants. Staff very helpful.

Clean, stylish, comfortable, and close to everything! The staff was awesome and, having arrived before check-in, we were allowed to keep our luggage with the front desk until our room was ready.

Superb location, friendly and helpful staff, room size, shower and bed

The air conditioning in our room was not working, but the fan was provided, and the windows can be left opened without noise disturbance.

Boutique hotel with a great location, low key, close to pretty much everything. Room was a true suite, with living room, kitchenette, large bedroom, 2-sink bathroom. Only stayed one night but would be great for a longer stay.

They were oddly stingy with bath linens. In particular, when I found no washcloths in the bathroom, I requested some and was given only one and pretty much told that was all I needed! And that was after the staff person inspected the bathroom to make sure I wasn't lying about having none!

Location, staff. Our room was very spacious, super comfortable bed. The location was incredible! Great service, which for me makes a huge part of the experience . Front desk helped us arrange transportation. Jorge was great! We could only stay one night but we will definitely come back .

Nothing

This hotel is in a perfect location if you have little time to explore the city. It was literally a 3 min walk to the entrance to the Acropolis and Museum. Close to great little restaurants coffee shops and souvenir shops as well! The room was spacious and looked fairly similar to the photos. Our plane was majorly delayed so we weren’t able to take the car they had arranged for us but that worked just fine. We used Uber in Athens for our whole trip and it was the same as it is in the US. Our only suggestion is ask to not be placed in the room on the first floor. It was right next to the kitchen and very loud first thing in the morning. The staff were all very helpful and friendly.

Hotel was great, but staff was amazing...

Excellent staff; very friendly and thoughtful.

No comment. All was excellent.

Spacious rooms, great location, friendly and helpful staff

The service was excellent even before we arrived. The hotel offered to arrange for our transportation from the port and also arrange tours for us. Everything was perfect. The location of the hotel is fantastic - only a 3 minute walk to skip the line tour start and a 2 minute walk to a vast selection of shops and great restaurants. Also short walk to Parliament, park, etc. Plus it's a quiet and safe street. Only steps from the front door to our cab. The extremely large room was well furnished, awesome bed, 2 type of coffee makers, refrigerator, sink, etc. Large and lovely bathroom. Included breakfast was excellent. All the staff was extremely friendly and always helpful.

Perfect location, extremely clean, room was quite large.

nothing - everything was great

Lovely room with a great balcony on the ground floor. Everything was super comfortable, quiet and elegant. The hotel is in a great location and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Overall an excellent place to stay. They do serve breakfast but it was not included with the room.

Would have been nice to have breakfast included.

We felt the owners had gone out of their way to create a very comfortable hotel, with excellent staff. Everything we needed was on hand, even down to a modestly-priced breakfast
