Ermou 26 Hotel

Arrived late, but the self-check-in was very smooth. The room had everything I needed, small but perfectly formed. The breakfast was a pleasant surprise; it's on the top floor of another hotel just to the left when you exit, offering stunning Acropolis views, a wide variety of choices, and high quality.

The room was really big and clean, and I felt secure knowing the connecting door was locked. The location is perfect, right on Syntagma Square, and there are two supermarkets nearby which is super convenient for shopping. You can also walk a few minutes to see the Changing of the Guard – truly an ideal spot! And the breakfast! You eat it at the hotel across the street, and it's incredibly diverse and plentiful – you couldn't finish it all in one day!

This hotel boasts an excellent location, right on the bustling commercial street in front of Constitution Square. My flight was delayed, so I arrived quite late, around midnight, but the self-check-in with a password was super convenient! The terrace room on the top floor was very clean and well-equipped with water, coffee/tea bags, and even disposable toothbrushes and toiletries, which is quite comprehensive for a European hotel. The large terrace was incredibly comfortable! I would definitely choose this hotel again if I have the chance to return!

Even though the hotel entrance is small and located on the bustling Ermou Street, I didn't find it noisy at night. The rooms are very new and come with a coffee machine, kettle, towels, and slippers. I had initially planned to store my luggage in a nearby locker for 5 days as I was going to an island, but when I asked the hotel, they offered to store it for me for 5 days. This saved me about 50 Euros! The only downside is that the soundproofing in the rooms isn't great.

First off, the location is fantastic – just 300 meters from Syntagma Square, and several major attractions are within walking distance! Right outside is a bustling commercial street, and it feels very safe. We stayed a total of four nights in two separate stays (the first two nights with my wife and kids in a connecting room, then three days on an island, and the last two nights I stayed alone in a king-size room after my wife and kids returned home). The M3 metro from Syntagma Square makes getting to and from the airport super convenient (we traveled to and from Athens airport multiple times for trips to Santorini, Crete, etc.). The only hiccup was this morning (the 28th) when I went to the airport, the M3 was on strike, so I had to quickly take a taxi! Secondly, the bedding and facilities were clean. Thirdly, the breakfast terrace offers unbeatable views, looking right out at the Acropolis, and the service is great – the front desk staff are very nice! The main area for improvement is that there's nowhere to hang towels or clothes in the shower room (I already mentioned this to the front desk guy). Hopefully, that will change by my next visit!
