Asomaton — Hotel in Athens

Loved our stay. This was our second stay in Athens in our month long trip, staying 3 nights.

Location: We loved the location, it is easy access to great food options hidden in Psiri region and shopping. We stayed previously on the other side of Plaka, and found this location to still be more accessible.

Reception/staff: Were beyond amazing to us. We were always greeted with great big smiles and were offered help at all times. They truest are amazing.

Breakfast: Officially the best we were served out of 8 places! Warning, they serve a lot. My only tip to either future clients or hotel, would be to have food storage options available. The food was so good, to think left overs go to waste would be the only downfall. It could easily serve as a morning snack too. My other tip might be to go exploring in the early am, before the July heat kicks in and have 1030am breakfast/brunch. You will not need lunch. Most tourist spots open at 8am, we were able to go exploring each morning and then come for food.

Roof views: AMAZING! I didn’t think anything could beat our first stay, and although a very different view, it was spectacular! We spent 2 nights lounging up on the balcony with a bottle of wine and a complementary platter (cheese and fruit). The layout allows some sense of privacy, which is hard to achieve on open roof tops.

Pool: Just because I have read reviews saying it isn’t what they expected. The pool is as big as it is in pictures. It is a small plunge pool, and with only a small amount of guests I never seen more than 2 people in it, however plenty of people could dip in. The spa looking part (sitting area) could sit 4-6 people. I don’t know if the spa features work as I never tested it out. The water is refreshing. Colder than the July beach water in the islands, though much needed when escaping Athens heat.

Rooms: Bed was super comfy, shower and bathroom was large considering the age of building and being Athens. 2 people can fit easily. Our balcony had 2 chairs and a table and looked out to a wall of greenery. Room 14. There was hanging space, though no draws. We were staying 3 nights and lived out of our suitcases, so no issue to us. It is open space, no cupboards to hide bags etc. Safe is small, doesn’t fit iPad, not many places had one though to do so.

Safety: felt safe at all times, all staff are lovely. Neighbourhood at night has lots of foot traffic. Very safe location.

Overall, wish we had more days and would recommend.

Nearby musts: Restaurant: Atlantikos - great authentic Greek seafood at exceptional prices. Not a tourist trap. Christmas shop: Little Kook - opens 12pm each day. Bakery: Crème Royale - to die for! The custard bougasta was the best we...

Came to the country to celebrate my Wife's 40th birthday. From the time we got to the location from the airport we felt like we were in a different world and at home. We were Greeted by the hostess Karina informed of our room and breakfast. Karina was kind and provided a place for us to eat while we killed time so we could officially check in.

Breakfast in this place was amazing, I had eggs scrambled hard with gouda cheese everyday. Then the tomatoes and I love tomatoes were to die for. They said it was orange juice but I don't believe them because I get heartburn everytime I drink orange juice but not theirs lol. I am sure it was orange juice.

It is crazy because the boutique hotel was comfortable the bed felt too good because we didn't want to get out of it. Once you leave your room you feel the elements of outside but not truly. Hard to explain it you just have to experience it.

The view of the Acropolis from the rooftop in the morning and in the late hours of the night are to die for.

In the evening we wert taken care of by Margaretia who would make sure we received our breakfast where ever we wanted in the hotel. Both her and Karina made it hard to leave them both times. Each time we were to leave before breakfast they made us breakfast to go. Best hands down.

Next time we come to Athens we will definitely stay here no matter what. I didn't want to write a review because I don't want certain people going and ruining th vibe there, but this place deserves an exceptional review. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars because it deserves more. From the staff to the location and to life of the city.

Hotel has only 20 rooms so make sure to get your...
