Monument — Hotel in Athens

We stayed at the Monument hotel in Athens for 2 nights & absolutely loved it. The hotel is very stylish and only has a few rooms. The internal walls in the hotel are all made of plaster (no paint) but it works really really well & you can tell that a great deal of thought has gone into the design of this hotel. The rooms are very comfortable (nice quality bedding and Molton Brown toiletries) but not massive - although if you are out sightseeing all day, then it doesn't matter too much.........however next time we will definitely book a bigger & more expensive room! The breakfasts are really really good - there is a small continental buffet table & also a small menu of very interesting a la carte items which are all included in the price. The staff here all fantastic and so helpful - and we must mention in particular, the lovely reception staff (including Maria & Lia) who helped us with sending some clothes back to us in the UK when my husband realised that he had left 2 pairs of trousers and 2 jumpers in the hotel room by mistake when we checked out!! The courier company DHL were quoting us Euros 170 however when we asked the hotel staff if they could check cheaper options, they managed to arrange a local collection for Euros 50 - which arrived in the UK a couple of days later - amazing - thank you so much - my husband was so pleased!! Athens is a really big city with lots of different neighbourhoods centred in and around the city. The location of the Monument hotel also suited us really well - it is situated in Psirri which is also quite close to Monastiraki. From here, you can walk to most of the main places in central Athens in 30 mins or less. I would highly recommend this hotel f you are looking for a really special & individual boutique hotel in the...

After spending nearly 3 weeks traveling across Europe, my husband and I had a quick two night stop in Athens before heading back to the states. We chose the Monument based on the architectural history of the property and its ideal location in the heart of the old city. We arrived just before midnight and was warmly greeted and escorted to our room on the top floor. Initially we selected this suite because of the outdoor terrace with views of the Acropolis. And while the room was lovely and well appointed it was not the best option because of the amount of luggage we had to carry. Since the building is historic, there is no elevator. The next morning we requested to transfer to a different room so that we could be closer to the lobby since we had an early morning transfer to the airport. The hotel manager had our items relocated to a beautiful room on the 2nd floor, which had the most spectacular terrace with magnificent views of Athens. We loved everything about this room and wish we had more time to enjoy it. While I did have some initial concerns about the noise factor from a previous review, that was not an issue for us. They do provide ear plugs, but we did not use them. The staff prepared breakfast each morning in the lobby and even prepared a care package for us to take to the airport. On top of that, they also provided us with a specially wrapped gift of quince preserves.

Lastly, we met with our tour guide in the morning of our last day in the lobby. As a professor of archaeology, he raved about the renovation of the building and was pleased to see the property so...
