Hotels with Rooftop Pools in Athens

"The location is a bit far, about 5 subway stops from Acropolis station, so you'll need to take the subway to reach most tourist attractions. Walking isn't really an option. The subway station is about a 5-minute walk away. There's a police station nearby, so safety wasn't a concern, but I was initially shocked because Athens, Greece, as a whole felt like a slum. I was disappointed that I booked accommodation in such a place, but apparently, by Korean standards, all of Athens looks like a slum. This place was relatively safe and decent. When we visited, there were American and Greek high school students on a field trip, which also made it feel safe. In terms of cleanliness, breakfast, and facilities, it offers excellent value for money. Especially the 7th-floor rooftop, which is open from 12 PM to 10 PM. You can see the Acropolis Parthenon, and the view of the temple illuminated at night and the sunset from the rooftop is simply amazing."

"Aile olarak gittik ve yaş ortalaması yüksek bir grup olmasına rağmen herkes çok memnun kaldı. Odaları çok temiz. Her gün havlular değişti oda temizlendi. Kahvaltısı yurtdışı standartlarinin çok üzerindeydi. Meyvesinden kuru yemişine kadar her şeyi düşünmüşler. Bir daha Atina'ya gitsem yine bu otelde kalırım. Ayrıca personellerin hepsi güler yüzlü ve samimiyetle yaklaştı. En son gün otelden çok erken ayrılmamız gerekiyordu. Kahvaltınin ücreti önceden ödendiği için 11 kişiye ayrı ayrı kahvaltı paketi hazırlayıp verdiler. Havaalanında yedik ve yumurtaya kadar koymuşlar. Mükemmeldi çok teşekkür ediyorum 🙏🏻"

"I booked this hotel again because my previous stay was excellent. It's one of the few hotels on the island with a great environment. I'll definitely book it next time, and my friends also really liked it. The facilities are relatively new, it's close to the office, and transportation is convenient."

"Spacious, clean and well-equipped apartments. Guests frequently mention that the apartments are modern, roomy (with one or more bedrooms, living area, kitchen, sometimes 2 bathrooms), well-furnished and comfortable — good for families or groups."

"Definitely recommend this hotel. I've never written a review before. Welcoming from the moment you step into the hotel. Staff are extremely helpful and carry a warm smile. Restaurant staff go out of their way to meet your requirements. And they even allow you to store your luggage if your flight is later then your check out. Not only they allow you to all that, but go as far as allowing you to use the pool area..the swimming pool shower. One of the best experiences I've had staying in a hotel. Top. 💯"

"Review for NYX Esperia Palace Athens – Luxurious Stay with a Few Caveats We stayed at NYX Esperia Palace Athens for four full days – two couples, each in an Executive Suite with access to the business lounge. The welcome was warm and efficient, and we received our rooms exactly at 3:00 PM, as per hotel policy. The suites were clean, stylish, and well-equipped with amenities such as disposable toothbrushes, shaving kits, loofahs, a hairdryer, and more. One of our suites, located on the 7th floor, even had a partial view of the Acropolis, which was a lovely bonus. The room’s climate, lighting, and curtains were all operated through digital controls, designed to pamper guests — although, in practice, they were not very intuitive and required a bit of trial and error. For instance, turning off the bedside light required getting up and walking to a control panel. The TV included Israeli channels (11, 12, and 13), which we appreciated. Breakfast on the 10th floor was excellent, offering a wide variety of high-quality options, and the waiter service was above average. One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional care provided by Ilia, the hotel's Public Relations Manager. She guided us almost from the moment we arrived until we left — recommending excellent tavernas, booking taxis, restaurants, and arranging a private guided tour. On our last day, we were also warmly greeted by Dionysia in the lounge — charming and attentive. That said, there were some drawbacks: Reception service was inconsistent – not all staff members were welcoming; some appeared cold or offered forced smiles. The business lounge was disappointing – small, crowded, with modest food and drink offerings and uninspiring seating. It felt more like a repurposed room than a proper lounge. The pools require advance reservation, with no room for spontaneity. Usage hours are segmented (e.g., 1–4 PM or 4–7 PM), and spots after 7 PM are very limited. The rooftop pool area is crowded, and the adjacent restaurant is also open to non-guests. Rooftop restaurant experience: One evening we returned from a night out and hoped to enjoy a drink with a view. Although two front-row tables overlooking the Acropolis were available, we were initially told they were reserved. Minutes later, we were informed we could sit there for a €25 minimum spend per person. The sudden shift from ”reserved” to ”available for a price” was off-putting — especially as hotel guests staying in suites. The guided tour recommended by the hotel involved nearly 4 hours of driving during a 5-hour trip, leaving us with very little time at each stop. We suggest skipping it. Bottom line: The hotel is modern, very clean, and the suites are luxurious. Service is mostly excellent, particularly thanks to Ilia and Dionysia. However, don't count on spontaneous access to the pool or rooftop restaurant — enjoying those requires planning ahead, much like booking a theater show. If you value well-designed suites and structured experiences, this hotel may be a great fit. If you’re looking for flexibility and full-day pampering from hotel facilities — you might find it a bit limiting."

"First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Vangelis for the front desk reception. I arrived late that night. I walked around the hotel several times and couldn't find a parking space. I temporarily parked at the door to check in. Vangelis was very amiable and received him warmly. He was worried that we would arrive late and asked for consultation. I asked for some drinks/snacks and gave me a large bottle of water. I learned that I couldn’t find a parking space by car and carefully told me how to find free parking and timing. I instantly felt warm and comfortable, forgetting about the fussy scrawling of Milan hotels, and my favorable impression of Athens doubled; Unfortunately, the exhaust fan in the bathroom did not respond. In the next few days, it was not possible to notify the front desk to repair it. The location of the hotel is quite good. It takes 10 minutes to walk to the entrance of the Acropolis and a few minutes to the nearby dining area. The breakfast is also good; the room has a balcony; and Swimming pool; overall highly recommended."

"The hotel is located in a quiet and beautiful area although somewhat far from Athens, the Acropolis (40 minutes by bus and metro). The hotel looks renovated and very nice, the staff is super friendly and willing to help you with everything, they speak several languages ​​so surely a person at the reception speaks your language and it will be easier for you to understand them. The only drawback is that the avenue that runs right next to the hotel is very wide and at night you can hear the noise of motorcycles passing by at high speed. The insulation of the windows could be improved although we were able to rest perfectly."

"This hotel is located about 30-40 minutes from the airport. The rooms are nice, clean and spacious. The hotel staff are extremely kind and helpful. Nikos, the night clerk was very helpful with helping us to find food as well as options for seeing the city during our short layover. The breakfast area looked nice but we weren't able to stay due to an early flight. I would definitely stay in this hotel again."

"All the staffs have been super helpful and supportive of my special needs and the location is the heart of center of Athens. I am grateful for all staffs that assist me with my tough times in my life. Will definitely come back and stay here again. speechless for their efforts and kindness."
