Location is excellent - minutes from Monastiraki square, Acropolis is about 15 min, and shops, restaurants, grocery store all walkable. The hotel is a bit old (bathroom missing a doorknob).. The breakfast is healthy, filling and tasty: bread, boiled eggs, yogourt honey, jams, juice, cereal. AC worked well though in a joined room (there were 4 if us) it meant one room was a bit cold, the other a bit warm. Overall, you pay for what you get.

Let me say that for what this hotel is, it is great. Yes, it is an old building in an area of Athens that is just a little gritty. However, everything was functional and clean, the staff was helpful, the breakfast was great, there are excellent restaurants in the Psirri district behind the hotel, I never felt unsafe, and you are a very short walk from the Acropolis and Plaka. If you're on a budget and want to stay where the action is, the Cecil is a great choice.

A useful hotel in a good location.
The Cecil was recommended to us by a friend who stays there for a few days every year. It was very conveniently located and it fitted the bill for us. It's an unpretentious, unfussy place with no frills or fancies. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were fairly basic but plentiful. The rooms were cleaned daily (except Sunday) and towels changed as required. There is a lift to all floors. Our beds were comfortable. We overlooked the side street which was, I suspect, quiter than being at the front of the building. I would stay there again.

This is an older hotel and lacked some of the facilities of modern hotels but then it has charm and character that the modern ones wouldn't. It was clean and the staff were helpful. It was very convenient for the railway for me as I was staying overnight between the airport and port (in both directions). For such a central location, it was fantastic value for money.

This place is small but convenient. The hotel staff are extremely friendly. The breakfast buffet is nothing fancy but good ( boiled eggs, juice, coffee, cheese, meat , bread , yogurt ). The hotel is ideal situated, close to the Monastiraki square where you shop, eat and people watch. The only issue we had was first thing in the morning there would be no hot water due to other guests having taken a shower. Also when taking a shower, water would get all over the bathroom floor due to the low shower guard at the bottom. Overall our stay was a pleasant experience and would stay here again !!

I have to say...it is what it is. The Cecil is not a 5-star hotel. It is old, but is well kept. The staff was great, the room spotless, the breakfast adequate. It is in a great location for walking around the city. It enjoyed my stay there.

Cecil Hotel is very centrally situated. Five minute walk from metro and tourist area. The surrounding area is authentically Athenian,. lively and interesting. The hotel is basic, a bit old fashioned but excellent value, quiet and comfortable. There are lots of cafés, pastry shops and a large general store on the street below. A fridge is available on each floor for the use of guests. Rooms clean, towels changed daily and sheets every two to three days. From my experience appeals to a variety of age group and tourist. This was my second stay in Cecil Hotel.

I had a two-night stay in Athens. the hotel was conveniently located to a train station. six stairs from the street to the reception area and then there's an elevator to go to the rooms. breakfast was adequate (bread cheese ham hard boiled eggs Greek yogurt and honey, jam and cereal.). the folks at the desk are very friendly. the person to clean the room found something that I thought I lost and left it on the table. kudos to her!!!

No frills accommodation but clean and central to all the sites. I loved the charm of the building and the central lift. View from the roof area is wonderful. As a single traveller the room suited, small shower results in water going over the floor but honestly who cares about that. Would definitely stay again
