Varvitsa Vacations from ￥198,376

We loved the whole look and feel of this hotel; the place is amazing. The location is meh, you would need a car (or taxi) to get around. we had a very nice dinner about 10 car-minutes from the hotel, but there's not really anything close by. The room we stayed in was gorgeous, but the bed was uncomfortable: the mattress was very hard and the bed itself (the springs?) was very loud. The bed itself was very pretty with the wide wooden edge, but because of this almost impossible to get into. The shower... Oh man that shower. That shower is the standard for showers from now on. Breakfast was very good. Staff at check in and breakfast were very kind!

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.

Great location for immediate access to subway. Its not too far from the Acropolis, museum, and palace. Staff is very friendly and helpful with any questions you might have. This is a good hotel if you’re doing a quick Athens stay or have a cruise as many people like myself were using it for both reasons. The offered breakfast has a great selection on the rooftop with a beautiful city view of the sights.

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.

Nice and cute hotel, You have the both of both worlds: A nice hotel, and an apartment with all the necessary stuff to cook if you don’t like to eat out every single day. The people is warming and very nice. 10 minutes is the walking distance to the sub station and from there you get to any Athens location quickly, including the port of Civitavecchia and the Airport. We loved this hotel.
