Ambelón Vacations from $939

Socrates, the staff manager, is the highlight of this hotel. He offered us a complimentary room upgrade and took the time to provide us useful tour information and advice about visiting the islands. The hotel is very clean. The breakfast was good, but perhaps not quite a four star level breakfast. The hotel owners might consider dropping the advertisement of the rooms having balconies as they are tiny, useful mostly for hanging clothes to dry and with a view toward other buildings where others are likewise hanging their clothes to dry. Our travel mates stayed in another room and were equally impressed with Socrates; they had no interest in having a balcony with a view and so it did not bother them. Some reviewers said that the rooms are not sound proofed and that road noise makes it hard to sleep. We heard nothing and slept soundly. The airport shuttle service was reasonably priced and professional. We stayed on floor 3 and our travel mates were on floor 4.

Nice little 3 star hotel. Staff bent over backwards to see our needs were met. Mold in our shower.

The staff were great. Only issue is that there was a bath but no shower! There was a shower nozzle in the bath but without a shower screen or anywhere to hold the shower nozzle it only made a mess

Hidden Gem. Can’t wait to return to Athens we will definitely be booking here again.

Terrific, inventive, fun place, great roof terrace with DJ, very nice room, absolutely delightful staff and a great breakfast. Had been staying at an upmarket boutique hotel. Our flight home was cancelled after three hours on the tarmac and we scrambled to find a hotel for the night. Thrilled that we stumbled on the Modernist. Would definitely stay again. A great experience and a great value.
