The Fountain Athens was our first stay of a 6 stop trip around Greece and we couldn’t have imagined a more welcoming first hotel. The staff were truly the most kind and friendly we encountered on the whole trip - they made us feel cared about and like we were part of a small community. I really can’t say enough nice things about the staff, especially the main daytime front desk staff member, in particular. She truly went above and beyond the entire time. The hotel is in a great location, close to all the bars and places to eat. The room was extremely clean and spacious as well. We’d loved our time here and would recommend to anyone looking to stay in this area!!

We stayed here for four nights during our trip to Athens and absolutely loved it! From the moment we walked in, to the moment we left, we felt safe and well cared for. The staff were polite, helpful and friendly. The room was well appointed, exceptionally clean and quiet. It was a few minutes walk to the nearest metro station and the Acropolis too. Lots of dining and shopping options nearby. If I'm in Athens again, this hotel will be the place that I stay!

The property was conveniently located in shopping and dining area of Athens. We loved our stay. Crystal at the front desk was so amazing friendly and knowledgeable about everything, our room was clean, comfortable & modern. Breakfast was great with lots of options. Vasilia made us fresh to make omelets daily & had a great smile. Cant wait to go back to Athens & stay at The Fountain Athens. By the way, there were no noise in our rooms as the rooms were soundproof. Thank you for your great hospitality & great memories!

Crystal is downright amazing. After an almost 16 hour journey from LA dragging 2 suitcases from the metro to the hotel, we could not have asked for a better welcome and a friendlier face. The hotel itself is located convenient to shopping, dining, and all the attractions in downtown Athens (Monastiraki square) - which we discovered thanks to Crystal's enthusiasm to help craft the perfect itinerary. We enjoyed the free Netflix and because we had early mornings every single day we were there, breakfast boxes would be waiting for us the night before. Loved the hotel, loved the location, but most of all the staff (Crystal particularly) made our stay exceptional and memorable.

The staff at this hotel was amazing! They gave us a highlighted map which was super helpful when we navigated Athens on foot. This hotel was in a great area for food and a walkable distance to the Parthenon and Acropolis and touristy shops. The area seems a little sketchy when you come into it, as it's covered in graffiti, but we had great experiences. The room was nice, and clean, breakfast was excellent!
