“Fantastic view of the Acropolis”

We stayed two nights at Hotel Thissio: one in the Zeus suite, on our first night in Greece (late April), and another in the Ares suite, on our last night (mid-May). Both rooms were very nice and had balconies with fantastic views of the Acropolis. But the Zeus suite is their best room, on a corner and very spacious. You wake up, open your eyes, still in bed, and there it is, the Acropolis! At night, you see it illuminated. In the morning, you see it with the sun rising. From the balcony, you can also see the Ancient Agora, Lycabettus Hill, Philopappou Hill, people walking up and down Apostolou Pavlou avenue. To arrive in Athens for the first time and have this view was one of the many highlights of our trip and something I will never forget. The staff was super friendly. When we arrived, we were invited to sit at the entrance bar and offered welcome drinks while someone from reception came to check us in. We also loved the neighborhood. Thiseio is very beautiful, very green, close to a lot of bars and restaurants, and an easy walk to the Acropolis and other attractions. Breakfast is served downstairs, and you can choose what you want from a menu. The food was delicious and the service was attentive, but a bit slow, so give yourself extra time if you are leaving for the airport.

“The place to stay in Athens if you like great views and want to be close to everything.”

We spent four wonderful days here during the celebration of Greek Easter, and the experience was truly memorable.

We spent four wonderful days here during the celebration of Greek Easter, and the experience was truly memorable. From the moment you arrive, the staff make you feel incredibly welcome and go out of their way to ensure your stay is special. I highly recommend including breakfast with your booking—even though we’re not usually breakfast people, we found ourselves looking forward to it every morning. The highlight, without a doubt, is the balcony view. It’s an absolute must. The sight of the Acropolis of Athens is unbeatable—arguably one of the best views you’ll find anywhere in downtown Athens. We also had clear views of the Ancient Agora of Athens, which made the experience even more special. Imagine lying in bed and looking straight out at the most iconic side of the Acropolis and the Parthenon—it’s breathtaking. Even weeks later, that view is still vivid in my mind. The only thing to keep in mind is that the hotel is located right in the heart of downtown, along a busy pedestrian street. It can get a bit noisy in the early evening, so light sleepers may want to bring earplugs. But that’s part of the trade-off for being so centrally located. Would I stay here again? Absolutely. The views and proximity to everything make it the place to stay.

“Perfect!!!”

We went here multiple times, not only because of the food that was really good, also the view is really good, as you look at the whole city. And then last but not least the service was really good. We enjoyed it!!!

“Amazing hotel. The best location close to Acropolis. Marvellous stay !”

Nice hotel, excellent service (kind people, helpful, …), very clean and quiet. Close to Thissio metro and Plaka with nice restaurants. Everything was perfect. We stayed at the hotel for 5 days and we enjoyed so much !
