Velanidia Vacations from $977

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.

Wonderful stay in the heart of Athens. Beautiful boutique-style hotel. Their breakfast was more abundant than expected and delicious. And dining on the rooftop with the view of the Acropolis was out of this world. The staff was super, super nice and even helped us out when my adapter stopped working, as I needed it for a medical device. Got us a brand new one. The treats and coffee at reception are a nice and yummy touch!

Nice hotel beautifully designed, great location

We had a very late check-n due to our flight. The desk clerk was waiting for us and was so welcoming. The rooftop view of the Acropolis at night was breathtakingly beautiful. The complimentary breakfast buffet was great. We had dinner in the rooftop garden - it was delicious and again, the view was gorgeous. Every staff member was so kind and accommodating. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Athens.
