"We enjoyed our stay. Loved the fact that it was quiet but yet still close enough to all the tourist attractions. Lady in the front desk was very welcoming and friendly. She even accommodated us with a taxi for our early flight in the morning which was really thoughtful. Would totally recommend."
"The ancient agora is right out door. Having a great view of Acropolis at roof terrace. A bit walking to metro, but bus station is closer. Overall a good place to stay."

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was beautiful but the area around it was not the safest."
"This was my second time staying at Acropolis Magenta and it was just as wonderful as the first. Clean, modern, lovely amenities, and a great location. Would recommend ot anyone!"
"The Divani and its staff were wonderful. However, Athens was a Greek tragedy. Graffiti and garbage everywhere. If you are looking for something close to the Acropolis, this is a great place for a couple days. After that, head out from Athens and find the areas that still show pride in their surroundings."
"Booked two rooms - they are very spacious - definitely upgrade to a suite with a view of the acropolis - it is worth it - the rooftop dining experience was magical with an incredible view of the acropolis/parthenon. Food was fantastic. Staff was very helpful, welcoming and they go the extra mile to make your stay wonderful - even a small cake for a family birthday we were celebrating. Renovated rooms look great and even have espresso machines (with the pods) in them - showers are awesome! Great hotel! Perfect for elderly parents and us - newly renovated pool was nice and spa has sauna and steam shower - and was perfect combo with massage and body scrub services "
"Amazing customer service. Staff friendly and helpful. Very comfortable beds. Athens in August very hot and hotel air conditioning worked exceedingly well. Roof top dining a treat with a great view of the Acropolis. And don’t miss their breakfast as you won’t be disappointed. "
