It was a nice place but not amazing. Our deck had no view, pretty basic for a “superior” room. There’s NO POOL and it was very not. Our AC worked mildly for the heat. The staff were very nice. The bellman was great and gave us sound advice for traveling. It’s a touch outdated and could use some larger elevators.

The positive - the hotel is in close vicinity to shopping, attractions, restaurants etc. A 12-15 min walk to just about everything. The service was good especially housekeeping. The service is not always personable. The negative - no pool, no fitness. The elevators are way too small for guests and luggage. Tip- if you are on a schedule, make some time to make multiple rides to get an elevator down or up. I ran down met the elevator pushes the floor then met it back up. The breakfast was decent. The food was fresh and hot. Depending which day, the service was slower. The room - very modern with technology for lights. The bed was extremely firm and we couldn’t open the window nor could we look out. The glass was shaded. Very odd
Get the breakfast. It is so good.

The hotel is beautiful, the staff was always very nice and warm. The rooms were beautiful and the beds were lovely. We had our best sleep here out of the 10 days we were in Greece. The location is excellent! You are within walking distance in so many great restaurants, shopping, and important sites. When we come to Athens, this is where we will stay.

We were disappointed by the NJV Athens hotel. To start, our room was not ready when we arrived even though it was after the 3pm check-in time. The rooms and hallways are tired and could use a major refresh. Bed was saggy and not comfortable at all. Location on Syntagma Square was a major drawback - traffic noice and several protests during our stay were quite disruptive. I would not consider this a 5 star hotel.
Phenomenal Hotel

The hotel was close to the Plaka, with the sidewalk cafes and shops, and within walking distance to the Acropolis. Clean, upscale, and impeccable service. Spacious suites, and delicious breakfast! Highly recommend!
