A Lovely Stay
Lovely stay. Our room with a direct view of the Acropolis. Rooftop restaurant was wonderful. Staff in reception and in restaurant were all pleasant and helpful. It's a very small hotel and you can't drive right up to the door but neither of those were a problem for us. The location is literally right on Monastiraki Square which is lively deep into the night which, again, was not a problem for us as we use earplugs and sleep deeply but could be a problem if sensitive to noise.

A For Athens is an A+ !!
Hotel was amazing with views of Acropolis and Monastiraki Square. Would recommend booking a room with a view. It is well worth it. Friendly and informative staff. Tourist hot spots well within walking distance. Coffee shops and eateries nearby. Hotel Breakfast was included and had local pastries and plenty of other options for even the pickiest eater. The hotel was clean, modern and accessible. It has a unique elevator. Would recommend!

This hotel in busy Monastiraki Square is the perfect location if you want be close to the Plaka, Syngtagma Square and lots of great shopping. The hotel staff was warm and available for any questions or concerns we had. The room was spacious, modern and inviting after a long day of sightseeing. Breakfast was an abundance of delicacies both savory and sweet served on the rooftop with a stunning view of the Acropolis. I highly recommend and would stay here again.

Stay for the rooftop views!
Our stay at A for Athens was excellent. The location was perfect for seeing the major sites and very close to the metro station. The rooftop bar/restaurant was beautiful with the most amazing view, great breakfast served there each morning as well. The room was comfortable, minimal, modern aesthetic. The staff was very friendly. Note that the elevator is extremely tiny, we had small carry-ons so it wasn’t an issue. But be aware of that if you plan to bring large luggage and/or cannot take the stairs.
