Whisper Athens Suites — Hotel in Athens

While this hotel is brand new and features a comfortable bed, its location makes for a truly miserable experience. I’ve visited Athens many times, and this was by far the worst hotel stay I’ve ever had — anywhere in the world.

The biggest issue is the noise. The hotel is steps away from clubs that blast music until 4am, followed by an hour of motorcycle revving as patrons leave. Only around 5am does it quiet down. We stayed in a Junior Suite, which is listed as “ground level” — but that really means street entrance. Not only can you hear every single word from outside, you’ll also have people loitering or selling things directly at your doorstep. There’s absolutely no sound insulation.

To make matters worse, because the room opens directly to the street, we had to stuff a towel under the door to keep bugs and critters out. I still had to kill several during our stay.

It’s a shame — the hotel is clearly trying, and some details are thoughtful. But there’s no attempt to address the serious noise and security concerns. Any claims of soundproofing are completely false.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone — especially if you value...

I cannot recommend this place enough. The location is superb, the rooms are spacious and impeccably decorated and clean, the beds and linens and pilllows are like sleeping on a fluffy cloud, and every little detail has been given the utmost attention. There is a beautiful coffee and tea station, a sink, a mini fridge, and the shower is a thing of beauty. I must also praise the staff, specially Ana at the reception, who was kind enough to, unprompted, offer assistance with a travel related personal crisis. Ana simply heard me and moved to find a solution for me without me asking. Ana displays all the qualities of a luxury hotel manager, going beyond the call of duty to ensure the guest has the best experience possible. My thanks also to the owner, who clearly knows the quality of his staff and trusts them with such decisions. Ana is not only a beautiful human soul, but also a keen business woman, as she has ensured a returning customer for as long as Whisper Boutique Hotel is blessed to exist. My...

This place was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The customer service from when I was booking from the US was top notch. The emails were very quick and they setup a shuttle from the airport up for our party of 10.

The host was amazing, super friendly and even met us on the road that the shuttle had to drop us off on because of size. She greeted us with a smile and checked us in. We arrived well before our check in time but they had our rooms ready over 3 hours before check in.

The location of this place is perfect. In the middle of a happening area with restaurants, night life and coffee shops. We were not far from the square and all the major sites.

I would 100% recommend this place for anyone traveling.

Take note: if you’re a light sleeper this may be a challenge because people are out late but that’s part of the culture. Soak it all in.

UPDATE: When we were leaving they gave our parties some oils and a bottle of wine from the owners vineyard. Nice touch to end...
