Mona Athens

Pros: -Friendly service. -Amazing breakfast included. -Gorgeous design, romantic, appreciate the concept behind what they’re doing. -Rooftop bar with view of the acropolis. -Location walking distance to acropolis. Cons: -Paper thin walls!! Noisy! We were placed in room 1 which is right above the “reception” area. It was loud all night to the point where I had to contact reception at 3am due to noisy guests/employees in the lobby that we could clearly hear from our room and which woke me up from sleep. Around 6am again, the noise started as guests started flopping their shoes down the stairs, speaking loudly, and slamming doors. -Poor air conditioning (and none in the shared spaces). -Bath tub drain did not work so I had to shower which left a pool of water all over the floor (no curtain). I booked this place because of the large bathtub. -Location though safe, is located in a graffiti ridden area that reeks of urine.

Boutique hotel in the heart of Athens, walking distance to everywhere, funky rooms, wonderful welcome and service. Just really great experience for the start of our honeymoon. The standalone bath and great art was amazing. We walked everywhere for dinner drinks and locality to tourist sites

It's stylish, breakfast is actually inventive and great, reception feels a bit improvised yet friendly but most importantly: Read the fine print when booking. Our room came with an open toilet which is hilariously sold to you as "sensual". This information is listed as an "amenity" Bathroom and toilet are separated by just partial curtains that we could never quite close all the way, so if you stand or sit in the impractical shower the neighbors across the narrow street may just be part of that "sensuality". Interesting for some, but not what I expected at this price point.

I hired a black car to pick up someone and it never showed up nor we got a heads up of it being canceled or something. This ended up in the person having to take a taxi which was unsafe. I confirmed the transfer several times and provided clear itineraries. Such a bad experience.

Rude welcome from the start ! We are lifestyle journalists. We arrived to the hotel on a scorching hot day to take a look at the lobby and to ask a few questions for our clients. The man would not even offer for us to sit on the sofa and was very abrupt by saying, “we are very busy!” Despite the place being empty. Apparently we should have made an appointment. Well we did not. But our observation did not require an appointment. The whole thing would have taken no more than 15 minutes if he was more polite. It was so obvious that he tried to get rid of us in a very rude way ! - not the usual Greek hospitality. This is not the place to be recommended for people who appreciate manners and courtesy.

This was my second stay at this boutique hotel and I am even more in love with it. It is so stylish, the staff are so friendly and the breakfast was perfect. Fantastic location to Athens major sights and so many awesome restaurants and tavernas. My friend and I had a wonderful time. Will make this my regular hotel when I come to Athens!
