The best thing about this hotel is the reception staff- they are the nicest reception staff I’ve met. Really keen to help, nothing was too much trouble, very chatty. One day I asked for some of their breakfast cake in my breakfast box and they helpfully provided it. They also answer their emails very quickly. Only thing is breakfast is served quite late so if doing day trips you miss out on this, but do get a box.

The staff, specifically, Chrystal, was fantastic. She helped us navigate the area with maps and information. Helped us get our phones all up to travel mode. Pointed out local fun spots. I can’t say enough good things about her. She is a wonderful and kind person, and an absolute professional at her job.

This hotel was a perfect choice for Athens. Great location, close to the metro and easy to walk around. The front desk was very accommodating with check in/out times, gave us a ton of recommendations, and even surprised us with champagne and fruit in our room for our honeymoon. We’d absolutely stay there again!

The PERFECT Location
The perfect location for a culture-filled short stay in Athens' coolest neighborhood. I was a bit wary when I arrived because the hotel is located in a narrow lane which almost felt like an alley during the daytime. At night, the lane morphs into a fantastic cafe community attracting locals and visitors. Lots of great people watching and food options. Awesome hotel for young travel enthusiasts!

Great little hotel in bustling Athens
The hotel is located in a busy little spot, hopping w young people. It was vibrant and fun. Although right on the street the bars went until late in the night, the hotel had good sound proofing and leaves earplugs for you. I'm a light sleeper and surprisingly had no issues sleeping. Breakfast was very nice. All for a great rate. Close to everything.

The Fountain Athens was our first stay of a 6 stop trip around Greece and we couldn’t have imagined a more welcoming first hotel. The staff were truly the most kind and friendly we encountered on the whole trip - they made us feel cared about and like we were part of a small community. I really can’t say enough nice things about the staff, especially the main daytime front desk staff member, in particular. She truly went above and beyond the entire time. The hotel is in a great location, close to all the bars and places to eat. The room was extremely clean and spacious as well. We’d loved our time here and would recommend to anyone looking to stay in this area!!

Crystal welcomed us with open arms when we arrived. We did come earlier than check in time, but she was able to store our bags for us until the rooms were ready. She was very knowledgeable about the area, and looking out for our safety. The rooms were very clean and kept in good condition. Great location to walk around for shopping and dining. Highly recommended!

This was a cute little hotel right in the middle of most things. There is a bar downstairs you could hear the music every night. But it wasn't too bad. The room was clean, but the staff, the lady at the front desk name Crystal. She was phenomenal, she's a jewel. Anything you ask, she had the answer to, she was so friendly. Easy to talk to, she gave great suggestions about the area things to do. She was wonderful.Thank you so much Crystal

We stayed here for four nights during our trip to Athens and absolutely loved it! From the moment we walked in, to the moment we left, we felt safe and well cared for. The staff were polite, helpful and friendly. The room was well appointed, exceptionally clean and quiet. It was a few minutes walk to the nearest metro station and the Acropolis too. Lots of dining and shopping options nearby. If I'm in Athens again, this hotel will be the place that I stay!
