Agia Kyriaki Beach

Front desk staff very friendly and helpful especially Odysseus and Katherine! Breakfast was good - eggs, bacon, breads, yogurt, dried fruit, and room had a terrace view of the neighborhood. Walk to Syntagma Square was a bit too far for these two seniors, but there was a bus stop about two short blocks away that made it easy to get to the square and connect to other bus/tram/metro lines to get to other attractions. Staff arranged for a taxi to the airport since we were departing early, and made us a nice breakfast to go.

The hotel itself is a great place. Once you leave the hotel and walk in the wrong direction you must be aware of everything around you. There are some shady characters hanging out watching especially at night. If you stay on the main streets you will be ok. Once off the beatin path you’re taking a chance.

When arriving from the airport the entrance to Monastic initially was not readily apparent and somewhat inconvenient to move the luggage, so initially we thought we had made a big mistake with this booking. But once the door opens things changed quickly and with the assistance of the friendly and helpful stuff were shown our room: A large "Studio Apartment", great view, nice bath, kitchenette and any modern amenities one can imagine with a welcome basket. Staff showed us the roof terrace making the view of the Acropolis even better; Nearly all sites in 15 minutes walking distance; a place for couples who want to experience Athen; No, the Monastic doesn't have a common breakfast area or a bar but there are an ample number for every taste in close proximity.
