Kastanea Holidays

Beautiful area and easy to walk everywhere. The staff were very friendly but the hotel communicated is too much. We had to give them our what's app for our room code to key in, this gave them the ability to send multiple messages a day. Including three about chech out time with one coming in quite early of the morning of our departure which woke me up. The room was modern and clean, however I paid for the balcony which was useless. It was so small you could really only step on it... Don't understand the function at all. It was a waste of money for sure. The AC in the room was intense and blowing right on the bed. However, it could only be adjusted downstairs by the staff. No idea what was the point of that. It was a fine two night stay but I have stayed at better in the neighborhood for not much more.

The hotel has a nice view of the acropolis from the roof deck and you can walk to the historic sites. But I am not sure how this is 5 star. I did not receive my VIP upgrades, there is no mini bar but you do get a fridge. The restaurant is overpriced by Greek standards 13 € for a glass of wine, 28 € for breakfast and mediocre food. The service at the restaurant was fine. The area is sketchy. Did not feel comfortable walking around after dark. Lots of abandoned buildings and smell of urine. It is a very rundown part of town. Windows are not sound proof and there is strange blue light outside maybe part of the hotel lighting. Bathroom clearly had mold or mildew. The room itself was clean.

Loved landing here after a long flight. Comfortable and safe.

This hotel is amazing! Location is perfect, the room was amazing and general facilities were great. My one only thing for me would be with breakfast would be to add hot chocolate and sauces like tomato sauce. I understand it's a Mediterranean breakfast so I also understand why it might not be included. Apart from that this is a perfect hotel for Athens.

Regular hotel, just for business incentives.
