Monastery of Agia Triada

Excellent

This boutique hotel was absolutely fabulous! A beautiful courtyard, the best and attentive staff, plus the pool was the icing on the cake!

I was looking for an affordable place to stay in central Athens for our family of four (two eight-year old kids), and found this place online at a great price. I couldn't find any reviews, so I was taking a chance with the booking, but will say that we loved our stay at Orchard. It's a new boutique hotel, with a creative interior design. The kids loved their "tree house" loft bed, and we appreciated the artwork everywhere and the custom design that included original architectural elements while introducing modern touches. Our room had a little balcony, which we loved sitting out on to look out at the neighborhood below. Vincent, the owner, was so very helpful to us, giving us recommendations for food and activities. He explained that the vision for the building is eventually not just as a hotel, but as a hub that includes a cafe, hotel, and rooftop wine bar. We could tell this hotel was his labor of love. The cafe's been open for a year, but the hotel had only been open for a month when we stayed there, and they were still working on renovating some portions of the hotel. The neighborhood is a little gritty, but this hotel and some neighboring cafes/restaurants are very charming.
