We are so thank-you we found Moon and Stars and had the opportunity to stay here! It is beautiful from the door outside, to the stairs and the communal spaces.
We stayed in the Birds of Happiness room for 3 nights and there was plenty of room so the two of us weren’t walking over each other. It has a balcony facing the road and a stunning bathroom too. They provide towels and little bottles of hand sanitizer, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. The shower has great water pressure and easy to use to get the right temperature.
The room is sophisticated, light, airy (excellent aircon) and with a comfy bed! There is a cute little clipboard with recommendations for cafes, restaurants, ATMs etc as well as a handwritten note from Theodore along with a bottle of wine, water and some delicious Turkish Delight. The little details were so thoughtful and were very appreciated by us.
Breakfast is either served in your room, on your balcony or the roof terrace. You are given a breakfast card to choose whatever you want/however much you want. There is plenty of choice!
During our stay we met Theodore (the owner) and Dominika (receptionist). They were so friendly, knowledgeable, kind and went above and beyond for us during our stay. Theodore gave us a map and recommended areas to visit, cafes, restaurants and things to do which we really appreciated as it was our first time in Athens. We WhatsApp-ed Dominika who booked tables at restaurants on our behalf too. Theodore prepared and brought up breakfast to us everyday and was the most gracious host!
It is a lively area but you don’t really hear much sound and earplugs are provided for light sleepers. We were a stone throw away from lots of restaurants and bars. This was an excellent area to stay compared to our friends who stayed at the Kubik Hotel.
I cannot recommend Moon and Stars enough and will definitely stay here again when I am undoubtedly back in Athens in the near future!
Our recommendations couple of minutes walk from the hotel:-
Lithos (for dinner) A for Athens and 360 degrees for roof top bars with amazing views of the Parthenon. Hatter’s for coffee or cocktails in the evening Urban for drinks in the evening
Also going to: Plaka to look around, take photos and eat (ask Theodore for recommendations) Mount Lycabettus using the cable car for sunset and eating at K...
Read moreI cannot recommend Moon & Stars enough! During my trip to Greece (July 2022), I stayed in five different hotels, and Moon & Stars was undoubtedly one of my favorites. This luxury-feeling boutique hotel is located a couple of steps from the Thēseio Metro Station and an 8-minute walk from Monastiraki, and its neighborhood is filled with life: extraordinary sights to visit, fantastic restaurants, and bars. Besides its great location, it is beautifully decorated without impacting the guest's comfort, has five charming rooms and suites - I stayed in the room called "Jack in The Box" - and offers a delicious breakfast, which is prebooked and delivered to you in a wooden box so that you can decide where you want to enjoy your meal: in the coziness of your bedroom, in the lull entrance of the terrace surrounded by plants, or on the pleasant upstairs terrace which offers spectacular views towards the holly hills of the Acropolis and the Nymphs. The terrace was one of my favorite areas of this boutique hotel as it is a great place to enjoy a peaceful moment, especially during sunrise or at night, and observe and absorb the life in Athens. As if all of what was mentioned was not enough already, the staff is truly welcoming and accommodating, and Theodore (one of the owners) makes all guests feel as if the boutique hotel was their home. Lastly, if you wish to have a different and fun activity in the Greek capital, I definitely recommend booking the Fiat 500 Tour Moon & Stars offers. Theodore will show you the best places in the city, some of them are hidden gems, and will tell you all about the city and the people, as well as share some tips, secrets, and myths. Discovering Athens is wonderful, but seeing Athens through the eyes of an Athenian...
Read moreI cannot say enough about this beautiful gem of a boutique hotel or about its gracious and conscientious proprietor, Theodore, and his staff. The super clean and tastefully appointed suites create an immediate ambience, accentuated by a gentle jazz playlist greeting every guest upon arrival. In addition to its (Psirri) location, within the immediate vicinity of several trendy bars and eateries, and only a short walk from the famous Monastiraki Square, Plaka district and tourist sites, the Moon and Stars Boutique Hotel skillfully captures the modern spirit of this ancient city. The hotel’s real beauty, however, lies in its meticulous attention to the details of the guest experience. From the carefully curated breakfast selections (delivered each morning to your suite) to the reasonably priced and well-stocked mini bar, there is no amenity left to chance. The rooftop terrace provides a panoramic view of the city and the Acropolis, and a nice place to relax at the end of a long day. The staff go to great lengths in creating a memorable, hassle-free stay, including the arrangement of transfers to and from the airport and port and recommendations for local dining and tours. The true beauty in any travel experience lies in the details, and this place absolutely...
