“True Diamond in the Rough”

O&B is the best hotel we've stayed in Europe yet. The staff is very nice and helpful. We were greeted with an upgrade upon check-in, which included a bigger room, complimentary amenities and a welcome plate of hors d'oeuvres. The Acropolis can literally be seen from the hotel's location, and is about a 10 minute walk to many of the ruins, and the city's downtown. Breakfast was great. Fresh bread and pastries, cereal, cheeses and cold cuts, and fruits are laid out buffet style for the guests. You are asked if you'd like coffee or fresh orange juice to drink. Water was poured for us when we were seated. Our first morning they made us omelette upon request, and the next days, scrambled eggs, sausage or bacon, and tomatoes were part of the buffet. We always came home to a fresh room. It would be made up in the day, and we noticed that coming home later in the night, the bed was prepared without the extra bed covers and decorative pillows so it's ready to sleep on. The staff also recommended us to a restaurant just around the corner that had live music, and pretty good food (if fall off the bone pork shank is your thing). Overall, I would stay here again. While the surrounding area seems a bit shady, and rough (though big cities/downtowns in Europe seem to all resemble the same background), it really didn't take away from the great experience the hotel provided.

“eddie1”

just a uneasiness with the area the staff does not hide the fact that the area could be better and ensure you that it is safe but walking back in the evenings were always questionable

“very nice small hotel in downtown Athens”

Excellent hotel right close to the sights. very clean and helpful staff. Would recommend it highly

“Good hotel in a convenient location”

Don't bother with the streets close to the hotel, only 2 blocks down and you are in Ancient Agora. 2 blocks up and you are in the nice Plaka. The room is small but very clean and well equipped. The service is extremely friendly.

“Charming Hotel With a GREAT Location”

O&B Athens Boutique Hotel was a charming hotel that exceeded my expectations. The location was perfect as it was walking distance to shopping, restaurants, the Acropolis, and the Plaka shopping district. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. They gave detailed directions on how to get places, and also made arrangements for taxis. The room was nicely decorated and very spacious unlike other hotels I have stayed at in European countries. The shower was wonderful and had great water pressure - something I tend not to find in hotels! The little extras like bathrobes and turn down service made this experience even better. I would definitely stay at O&B again and would reccommend it to anyone visiting Athens!

“A gem of a hotel in a great location!”

A very pleasant, comfortable hotel with a "family" feel to it. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. It is located within blocks of a busy pedestrian walkway and bustling area of restaurants and cafes...and close to the Acropolis and Parthenon. What a great introduction to Athens.

“Amazing hotel, close to Acropolis and market, a little hard to find”

This place was amazing! The staff was extremely friendly, they brought us complimentary greek desert and liquer when we got there. The room was very nice at a great price... a little small but I think standard for a hotel room on the mainland of Greece. The only complaint is that it's a little hard to find. If you are coming from the airport, I would pay the cash for the taxi instead of the metro. The metro ride takes a long time, gets really crowded, and then spits you out several blocks away from the hotel. Plus, the road signs are bad, so it's worthwhile to have someone bring you there that knows where they are going... and cabs are REALLY cheap in Greece (compared to US). The hotel staff made great recommendations, booked things for us, and even packed us a breakfast/lunch for our ferry ride to Santorini. I would go back in a heartbeat!

“Could Not Have Asked For More...”

The staff took care of everything we needed. They called taxis whenever we needed one, their suggestions of restaurants were always outstanding. They provided us with maps and took the time to mark out the routes and explain them to us. They arranged any tour or activity that we wanted to participate in. They could not have been more helpful and polite. They would not even let us iron our clothes. They sent the maid to our room to pick up our clothes and return them to our room. When we were out, we would come back to find our newly pressed clothes hanging in the closet. Breakfast was delicious and if you wanted something that was not already prepared (I cannot imagine what that would have been) they would happily make it for you. The hotel was located within walking distance of everything from shopping to dining to tourist attractions. This was my first incounter with a "Boutique" hotel and it was an great experience. I would definately stay at the O&B Athens Boutique Hotel again and would recommend it to everyone.

“Incredible Hotel in Athens”

We started off the trip with a two day delay in the states and were forced to cancel two days of our reservation with less than 24 hours notice. The hotel staff was very understanding and provided a refund immediately. Once we arrived in Athens we were met upon check-in with news that our ferry the next day was cancelled due to a strike. The staff immediately got on the phone to help us figure out what we needed to do to rebook our tickets. In short, the hotel staff made sure we were as comfortable as possible during the entire stay; they helped with restaurant information, they provided maps and directions, and were the most pleasant group of people we came across. The hotel is located about two blocks away from the metro station. It's very convenient. At night, there is plenty of activity in the surrounding streets but not so much to make the rooms noisy. The rooms are unbelievably clean and modern and incredibly comfortable-great to go back to after hours of sightseeing.
