We had a wonderful week at this hotel with a larger group in early August. The owners were always friendly and helpful, and the entire place was clean and well-kept. There are a few stairs inside the hotel, but unless you're carrying heavy suitcases, it's really no problem. :) Dinner was always tasty and offered a nice variety each day. There are 3–4 beautiful beaches just a short walk away, which was a big plus.

We was leaving at 8am to go back to the airport meaning we would miss are breakfast, instead they said for us to go to the restaurant at 7:30am so we could have something before we left. Food was lovely and even though the dinner was a set meal there was plenty there to eat. We had a room overlooking the sea (very beautiful may I add) in there was your own kettle and two ring hob so you could make lunch and a hot drink if needed. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you want something relaxing on some days and explore on others. Thank you.

“Nice two weeks”

We spent very nice two weeks there. Very kind two brothers and all other staff working there, there was no problem swapping room from one with a view to a wall on first floor to a lovely one on fifth with breathtaking sea bay & mountain view. Beautiful location and atmosphere. Thank you!!!

“Modern Hotel run a little oldfashionly!”

Let’s get the bad bit out of the way first. If you are disabled, or have difficulty walking, this lovely hotel is not for you (indeed Bali might not be for you!) – the access road is STEEP (as is most of Bali).

Let’s get the bad bit out of the way first. If you are disabled, or have difficulty walking, this lovely hotel is not for you (indeed Bali might not be for you!) – the access road is STEEP (as is most of Bali). We had a car, but if you book airport transfers, they drop you off at the bottom of the hill. Furthermore, being located on a hillside, the fiftyish rooms are spread across this over five levels. There are no ramps and no lift, so if you are on the bottom level, it’s a hike to the restaurant / bar / reception at the top! Don’t get the wrong idea – this is a lovely hotel. Rooms are modern and spacious. Views across the bay from them, and also from the restaurant, are to die for. I cannot remember a prettier spot (outdoor if you wish) to eat breakfast and dinner. Hotel Athina is run by two brothers, George and Basilis and nothing is too much trouble for them. We initially arrived at about 11:30 pm and George have saved us a decent meal in our room. They run things on slightly old fashioned lines in that dinner is set and served to you, so if you have any dietary requirements, state at the time of booking. Don’t assume (as we did!) it’s a buffet. Breakfast however, is a buffet, each morning there being a plentiful supply of bread, cereal, eggs, tinned peaches, yoghurt, honey, butter, jam, cheese, meats, etc. There is also a small pool to idle away some hours if that is your pleasure. In these days of faceless, cheap and nasty, all-inclusive deals, Hotel Athina is a refreshing change and we are pleased to rate it 4/5. A few tweaks would increase this, for example, a bar / lounge area with comfortable chairs (achievable easily by knocking through the top two bedrooms!). We enjoyed the first two weeks of May. Hotel very good, weather fantastic.
