NLH FIX | Neighborhood Lifestyle Hotels — Hotel in Athens

I would recommend this hotel. We were staying 3 nights on a short visit to the city. I was just right for us. It is on a main road, so you do get some traffic noise, but not that much. We were in room 12 on the first floor, and it was lovely. The room - and I assume the others are the same - is called a suite, and you could stay there self-catering to a degree. It has a little kitchenette, with a 2 burner stove, a microwave, a fridge, and these can be shut away behind doors. We barely heard anyone else while we were there, so it is a quiet hotel.||The room is big. The bed is very comfortable with 2 pillows each. There are lots of plugs and USB ports in the room, so no issues with charging devices. A wardrobe with a decent number of hangers, a safe, drawers, hairdryer in the bathroom, big TV on the wall, table and chairs for meals, and some comfy seating||The cost of breakfast was included. They are a rooms only hotel, so have no restaurant, so breakfast comes in a box delivered to your room. You can have it at 7, 8 or 9, and the choices are classic, Greek or vegan. They are a bit reminiscent of an airline breakfast, but better.||The shower was powerful and hot. They have a 'rainfall' shower overhead and a handheld shower head as well. Our rainfall shower head had a split in it which shot water out of the side. We reported it and it was not fixed whle we were there, but we were staying mostly over a weekend so maybe understandable. The hand held shower head had an adjustable height holster and was fabulous. The day we went to the top of Lykabattas Hill to watch the sunset, was very windy. We were frozen to the bone when we got back. I was in a state of bliss in the lovely hot shower after that.||The staff were very good, particularly the young woman on reception in the afternoons and early evenings.||The location of the hotel was great. It was only a very short walk (2 minutes) to Syggrou-Fix metro station. That is 1 stop from Akropoli, and 2 stops from Syntagma Square. It is easy walking distance (for those of us who prefer to walk round a city) or most of the main places you'd want to see. 10/15 minutes from the Akropolis, 15/20 minutes to Plaka, Monastiraki, Ancient Agora, the original Olympic Stadium, the National Gardens etc. The metro is easy to use and has just 4 different lines. When venturing in, you need to know the last stop on the line you are looking for, to make sure you get on the right train, going in the right direction.||It is also a short distance from Philippapos Hill, which is an excellent view point over Athens, and nowhere near as busy as Lykabattas Hill. It is in a park which has other features in it, but we went just after we'd arrived, late afternoon, to see the views over the city as the sun went down. We walked up through back streets, and just as we got to the entrance to the park, we looked to our right and saw the most amazing view of the Parthenon between the houses. It quite took my breath away. Some of the streets do get a bit steep, and then in the park itself you walk up a winding path to a viewpoint and then to the monument at the top. Amazing views and the sunsets are incredible. Top tip: make sure that going up, you note the path you emerge from at the top, as trying to find the start of the path for the way down in the dark can be a bit tricky. The walk to the park was 10/15 minutes, and the walk up the hill 10 minutes at a slow plod.||I preferred Philippapos over Lykabattas, as it was quieter and being closer to the Akropolis you get much better photos of the Parthenon all lit up. Lykabattas is better for a long-distance view, as you can see all the way to the sea. I would also warn that if you walk up Lykabattas, even just to the cable car, it is 'challenging'. Seemingly neverending steps just to get to the cable car station. We went up on the cable car but walked down. The walk down is on a good path, well lit, and only took 15 minutes. The walk up I think would be at least double.||We did a guided visit to the Akropolis with Key Tours. This was included in our package and was very good. We also went on a tour with New Athens Free Tours. This is exactly what it says, free, and they just ask you to make a donation to the guide if you enjoyed it. Our guide was Walter, who was excellent. I would recommend doing this. He is very knowledgeable and the tour lasts about 3 hours, and it's a good way to get to know the centre of the city.||This hotel was perfect for our needs, and I would definitely stay...

Reasonably priced hotel in a convenient part of Athens.||We stayed at the Fix for one night prior to our cruise and for 2 nights afterwards. On first impressions we are astounded at how large and spacious the rooms were and also how well quipped they were. Our room had a spacious bed, safe , dressing table, sofa bed, coffee table and comfortable chair and TV. It also had a kitchen area (with dining table) which provided a microwave, hotplate, sink, fridge, kettle and Nespresso machine and cutlery and crockery. A supply of coffee pods and tea was also provided. The bathroom was well equipped with a shower with pump dispensers of shampoo, body wash and lotion. There was also a hairdryer. ||The Fix does not have a dining room or lounge to sit in. This is reflected in the reasonable price per night. When you are there, you are in your room. Breakfast is served to your room at a pre requested time - there are 3 choices - classic, traditional or vegetarian. ||The staff were lovely and extremely helpful. They will arrange transfers back to the airport should you wish. The receptionist recommended a place for lunch which was situated directly behind the hotel (This is Loco) which was excellent and reasonably priced. ||The area around the hotel is actually good for eating and a bit cheaper than the Plaka/ Acropolis area We liked Kalamaki - 2 streets up. There’s also a kiosk outside the hotel selling snacks and drinks and a taxi rank literally 50 yards down the street. It cost 14€ to go to Pireous cruise port. ||You are approximately 10-15 minutes walk from the Plaka area of Athens and 10 minutes from the Acropolis Museum where you can pick up city tour buses. ||Would recommend this hotel if travelling...

The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the friendly and attentive staff. Upon arrival, they took the time to recommend top tourist attractions and local dining favorites, which added a personal touch to our visit. My wife and I stayed in the Attic Suite, the largest room in this seven-story hotel. Located on the 7th floor as the only room on that level, it features a private Wi-Fi network and daily breakfast delivery. The room was clean, spacious, and offered a spectacular view of the Acropolis through floor-to-ceiling glass panels. Blackout curtains ensured a restful night.

The hotel is conveniently located within an 8-minute walk from Plaka, one of Athens’ main hubs. While the old-style elevator, common in European buildings, can feel tight for two people with luggage, it efficiently serves up to the 6th floor. Guests staying in the Attic Suite will need to take a short flight of stairs to reach the 7th floor.

The suite includes a large bedroom, European and USB outlets for easy device charging, and a Nespresso machine with small portion cups. The bathroom, while functional, has limited counter space and a slightly awkward showerhead.

Additional conveniences include a 24/7 front desk, a secure entrance accessible with the room key, and a nearby gas station for snacks and essentials. The hotel’s location on a main road also makes it easy for taxis and...
