It was a great stay! It’s in a decent location probably about 30-40 minutes walking distance from the Plaka, and close to public transportation. The room was spacious and clean. The hotel staff was friendly and responsive to our requests. The shower/bathroom was a good size, and the patio was a nice touch. The breakfast was absolutely top notch! The rooftop terrace had a cool view of the Parthenon, which was lit up in the evening.

A fabulous hotel in the wonderful city of Athens

What a wonderful stay I had at The Modernist Hotel, it’s super stylish, really well located and easy to get to all the major sights, an amazing and very friendly young staff, from reception, the cafe and the bar, the cleaning staff, and crowning it all a fantastic roof top bar where you can drink looking at wonderful views of Athens. I’m definitely coming back there again next year.
