The Modernist Athens

This was my second visit. I returned after a stay a year ago, this time bringing a friend along. Excellent location in a clean, safe, upscale neighborhood (although an extended family of transients moved into the adjoining park during our stay). It's in a former embassy on embassy row, with many key museums within walking distance. Metro stop is a couple of minutes away, with most major attractions within a couple of stops (the Athens subway itself, while online having three lines, deserves kudos). Staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. Breakfast is very good, filling, and healthy. Views of the Acropolis from the rooftop bar and even from our rooms' balconies.

I chose the Modernist because of the excellent reviews about staff support - they were right! Everyone at the hotel was so kind and helpful. Pablos, Ian, and Zoe were so genuinely attentive with me and my parents. They helped us with information about parking, restaurants, taxis, and last minute reservations. Also: great location near the metro, quiet and safe neighborhood and excellent breakfast. The terrace was a great place to relax with a view of the Acropolis after exploring all day. 10/10 would stay here again!

Liked · The breakfast was amazing and the staff so welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed everything about our stay and especially appreciated the room upgrade on our return from a weekend away. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to the Metro. The rooftop was a lovely place to start and end our day, watching the sun set behind the Acropolis, refreshing beverages, light meals, and the good cheer of the bartender. This will always be our home away from home in Athens. Thank you for everything!

Superb modern room, fun mini bar with house pre mix cocktails at reasonable prices Excellent check in experience Breakfast buffet is one of the best we've ever had anywhere in the world Double balcony meant we could have some excellent fresh air through the room Location is within walking distance to everything you need to do in Athens - Plaka, the Partheon, Parliament, tomb of the unknown soldier/changing of the guard, museums, art galleries. Cookooveya Restaurant 5 minutes walk away was outstanding. PT is right next door and we caught the tram bus to the Archeological Museum and the train down to the port area The street next to the hospital 5 minutes walk away has a heap of bakeries for a cheap pick up of coffee, cakes, pastries, rolls etc and there is a local supermarket 5 minutes walk away. The staff are really helpful with information regarding anything you need Finally the roof top is amazing with clear views to the Acropolis and a fun old style phone to dial direct to the bar down stairs for your cocktail order

The staff are friendly and helpful. Also a queer positive venue. So appreciated the diversity of guests and staff. Very inclusive from conservative older folks to queer identifying young people.
