Monastery of the Transfiguration

Very convenient, especially if you are traveling with children. Clean and had every we needed.

Athens Key doesn't seem like it's in the best or safest part of Athens. The staff were helpful and the available meals were good. However, it was noisy (packed with schoolchildren when I was there) and the promised views of the Parthenon were available if you were in just the right place on the roof top restaurant. It is not conveniently located except for the Athens Museum of Archaeology.

Stayed here in May 2024. Looks great overall, has a excellent rooftop bar with Acropolis view and the room interiors are top notch as well. The only piece that was a bit of a challenge was the delay in room service activities. There were 2-3 instances where I felt the the support from the team was slower in getting us the things we needed (especially sugar and milk in the morning when we were getting late). Outside of this everything was great - special mention to Ionna who works at the reception who took the time out to give us a walkthrough of the things to do in the city. This was a very personal touch. FYI - Location is not as bad as people have claimed it to be. Yes a couple of blocks around were sketchy - but just make sure you are travelling via the right streets to get to Plaka or other neighborhoods.
