Niche Hotel Athens

Breakfast was in the rooftop restaurant. The breakfast itself was fabulous but OMG the view: the Parthenon in all its glory! Dinner on the roof was even better: the Parthenon was illuminated. Food was delicious with large servings intended for two. Room was clean, comfortable, well appointed. The entrance to the Acropolis is an easy three minute walk from the hotel. SPOILER ALERT! Stop reading now if you want to be surprised when you visit! The surprise started in the elevator: there was a button labeled 300BC. Pushing that button took me to a sub-basement that is actually an archeological site! You can also view the site from the lobby through a large window in the floor, but I had not looked down when I checked in. In fact, there is a window in the sidewalk before you enter the hotel, but I missed that, too, until the second day.

Located in the heart of town a short walk (15mins) from the top of the Acropolis, 5mins from Parliament and around the corner from everything else, the hotel is perfect for a short stay. It's modern, sleek and the staff go the extra mile with exceptional politeness and a great view of the local area (including the Acropolis!) from the top-floor breakfast/dining area. The food at breakfast was great! With a decent selection of cooked and continental options (try the mountain tea!), and very helpful staff on hand.

Excelente location 5 min walk to the Acropolis hill, Acropolis Museum Zeus Temple and Plaka Breathtaking rooftop view over the Acropolis Wonderful restaurant for dinner Excellent breakfast Very kind staff Comfortable rooms

This place is exceptional - a wee gem! Its clean, funky, fantastic staff and a view to die for!

Our four night stay at the Niche Hotel was perfect in every way. We travel quite frequently and the Niche staff was the most exceptional and friendliest we have encountered. Upon entering or exiting the hotel, one or two staff members were always present to welcome us or wish us a wonderful day. The desk staff kindly answered our questions and we never had to wait to speak to someone. The room was exceptionally clean, comfortable and well appointed. Housekeeping left our room each day as if it were our first night checking in. The breakfast buffet was outstanding with a wonderful selection of both savory and sweet selections. The wait staff were very attentive during your meal, checking back often to offer beverages or refills. The breakfast is served on the hotel’s highest level with a beautiful view of the Acropolis. We appreciated the hotel’s location which is in the Plaka, just a 5-10 minute short walk to the Acropolis South Entrance and Acropolis metro station, and many wonderful restaurants. Highly recommended !
