If you want ultimate comfort, private luxury or huge rooms, this is probably isnt your space. However, if you want to be in the heart of athens near Plaka (some quieter area), near metro and able to access the city with ease this location is hard to beat. Its also a place of convenience. We were only here two nights before heading to Crete, we wanted to explore athens, do some tours, but more importantly have quick and convenient access to food, drink and a comfy bed. We stayed on the 4th floor and LOVED the convenience of going upstairs on the roof deck for some of our meals and a night cap. Staff were excellent and very attentive to needs. There was a 12 euro breakfast deal for guests that was a good value. The room we had was the acropolis suite, it was cozy, functional and had a very comfortable bed. We did not experience really much noise and for the price and roofdeck convenience we cannot complain. We reccomend Ciel athens for anyone looking for convenience, a proper room and prime location.

Situated in Monastiraki the Ciel Living offers a prime tourist location for the Athens explorer. Everything you can wish for is more or less around the corner. The hotel has its own roof top bar which was pretty popular. Also, there is a grill restaurant/snackbar on the groundfloor. There they serve really tasty suvlaki, kebab and gyros. The Check-In The check-in was one of the better ones I had had travelling the world. The lady at check-in was super friendly and helpful and gave us valuable information on the hotel, the area and directions on how to go here and there. 10/10 experience! The Room The room had a big bed, a small table with a coffee machine, a luggage rack, a few clothes hangers in an open kinda wardrobe solution, an extra chair and a little hotel safe for your valuables. The room (303) was of decent size, but more on the smaller side. The bed was very comfy and just hard enough for a good nights sleep. There was one tree trunk on each side of the bed serving as night stands, and the color scheme was held in warm, earthy color tones. I really liked it. All in all, the room was functional and pleasent. The bathroom was alright. But beware when taking a shower. Water easily finds its way onto the bathroom floor as one side of the shower is completely open. And remember: in Greece used toilet paper goes in the bin and not in the toilet. The real issue with the room was the noise of traffic and people below in the street. The room seems to be poorly insulated which left me waking up a few times when I would rather have been asleep. Now the question is: would I stay there again? Well, that is a difficult one. I liked the hotel and loved the location. Value for money was very good, but the noise situation might put me off from staying there again.

“It’s okay”

Location is central, convenient for Metro and some main attractions such as the Acropolis. Reception was helpful, with good restaurant recommendations. Room is basic. Doesn’t even have a conventional kettle, which I thought should be standard.
