Athènes/ Fresh Hotel

This was my third stay at Fresh Hotel, and once again, it exceeded all expectations. This time, I was visiting with a group of friends from Brazil, and they were just as impressed as I was!||||The location is absolutely unbeatable—walking distance to the Acropolis, Monastiraki, and Plaka, making it perfect for both sightseeing and evening strolls. The view of the Acropolis from the hotel is truly breathtaking, especially at sunset.||||The rooftop restaurant and pool area feel like a hidden oasis in the heart of Athens. We enjoyed some of the best sunsets I’ve ever seen, paired with expertly crafted cocktails. The design throughout the hotel is a masterpiece—sleek, modern, yet incredibly comfortable. The aesthetics were done by renowned Italian designer Paola Navone, and it shows in every detail!||||The food here is top-tier. Breakfast is an absolute highlight—one of the best in Athens, with a wide array of fresh, local ingredients. The dining experience overall is world-class.||||If you’re looking for a stylish, centrally located, and effortlessly chic place to stay in Athens, Fresh Hotel is my absolute recommendation!||!

This hotel is amazing. The best location, and the staff simply wonderful. Watched New Year’s Eve fireworks from the rooftop with the acropolis as the backdrop. Athens is my favourite city now and Fresh Hotel made our trip outstanding.

The location is unquestionably perfect. Walking distance to touristic attractions and wonderful restaurants. The staff was super welcoming and attentive to every need and request. Highly recommended for single travelers and couples. Breakfast was good, but could use a little refresh every now and then.

The Fresh Hotel is a Marriott Design Hotel. The rooms are cozy and in my humble opinion not up to Marriott’s standards. The staff is nice and the breakfast that is included in the rate is okay. Within a two block radius the neighborhood is sketchy. As hubby and I walked passed the Central Market one evening on our return to the hotel, we saw a man sitting on the sidewalk with a needle in his arm, apparently shooting up a drug. Once out of the two block radius you are okay. There are many stores and restaurants in the area and the area is very walkable. The view from my balcony was of a dilapidated building. Additionally, this hotel is not smoke free. Despite the walk ability of the area and decent breakfast, I will not stay at this hotel when I return to Athens. There are a plethora of hotels in this fabulous city and I would chose one in an area where I would feel more comfortable.

Modern hotel in walking reach of all attractions. Rooms modern, clean and well maintained. Has a roof tip with swimming pool, areas to sit and restaurant, as great views from the roof top of most of Athens. Breakfast is really good and is free. Staff very helpful and friendly. If staying in Athens highly recommended.

Rooms were clean and comfortable - and large by European standards. Food and service at rooftop restaurant were fantastic. Front desk staff - in particular Rolland, but other staff as well - frequently went above and beyond to provide exceptional service. It is clear to see that this is a very well-managed hotel. The location is not the best, but it's not bad - and there is a stop for the "hop on, hop off" bus just outside.

Not the largest rooms but clean and functional. Reception was Excellent with great customer service. Nice lobby. Breakfast was nice and they catered for gluten intolerance. I was a bit apprehensive about location having read previous reviews but it was fine. Nice and convenient to plaka area. One of our party complained of road noise at night. Try to get a room on the side.

Our flight was delayed on late notice (past the cancellation/modification window) and so we asked to move back our one night reservation by one night. The hotel would NOT accommodate this request even though the Moxy Athens City accommodated us under the exact same situation a few days earlier. I would recommend staying at the Moxy Athens City (also part of Marriott) given their excellent customer service.||Full message from hotel for transparency below:|"Dear XXX valued Platinum Elite Marriott Member,| |Thank you for your message| |Unfortunately – & due to the extremely late notice – we kindly have to decline your request & action our late cancellation penalty fee, as per program agreement| |Apologies for the inconvenience caused| |With Best regards | |Dimitris Nikolopoulos
