Paliouras Vacations from $958

We recently stayed at the Hotel Metropolis prior to taking a cruise and are very happy with this property. From its location in Plaka near the Acropolis and other points of interest including a multitude of shopping and dining choices as well as proximity to public transportation, this hotel delivers. Having arrived at night, the next morning greeted us with a stunning view of the Acropolis from our room. As well, this hotel has an amazing rooftop terrace with still even better views of the Acropolis. For these reasons alone the Hotel Metropolis is a top choice for your next stay in Athens. However, it is the staff and management that sealed it for us. We encountered unexpected difficulties when our cruise was cancelled. An early return home was not feasible as it was prohibitively expensive to rebook our flight. Instead, we decided to make the best of it and see even more of Athens. Hotel Metropolis staff and management were very accommodating by allowing us to extend our stay. As the date of our return flight was approaching, we were advised by our airline that it too was cancelled. Not only did Hotel Metropolis again accommodate us for a couple extra days, but they provided us with a room with a large wrap-around balcony. The compassion and kindness shown to us by the staff and management were truly appreciated. And this is the most important reason our next stay in Athens will be with Hotel Metropolis.

The staff was superb! They were very friendly and helpful. The property itself needs a deep cleaning and significant repairs. It looks and feels absolutely nothing like the photos on Expedia. We arrived expecting a charming, clean, four star boutique hotel as advertised, and instead found a grubby one or two star property… it was a very disappointing end to a great holiday. Heads up: The noise from the bars and restaurants next to the hotel lasts well into the night — bring noise cancelling earplugs.

All the staff in the hotel are kind Room is clean and comfortable

Our stay at the Pinnacle was excellent in just about every way. We were greeted by Kostas when we arrived and he was extremely kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. The room was very nice. It had everything we needed, including a working kitchen, that we didn't use it. The place is located in a very central region of Athens, close to everything you would want to do. It was no trouble to walk to the Plaka area and to the Acropolis. There is a rooftop sitting area with an excellent view of the Acropolis. I believe that there is a bar up there that is open and other times, but we were there during February, off-season. An excellent breakfast was provided. I really can't think of anything to complain of.î⁷

Very courteous and helpful staff who took time to show us places on a map and best way to get there.
