I would give the staff of the fountain six stars if I could. They were so kind and so helpful and generous with our time enthusiastic about our vacation just lovely. The hotel was always clean. Our room was spacious and the bed comfortable. The fountain is located in a vibrant district with lots and lots of options for eating out and just generally having fun.

Staff were so good. Free breakfast was much better than we were expecting. Room was clean, modern, and bed was comfy. A little noisy at night, but not ridiculous (unless you're super sensitive). Appreciated the blackout curtains. Good, quiet A/C. The only things didn't quite like about the room were that the shower floor wasn't sloped enough, so the water pooled before draining and sometimes smells came up from the drain, but neither was crazy bad - just noticeable. We actually really liked it and wished we could have extended our stay there.

Nice boutique Place
It’s a small boutique hotel in a busy area with small streets. The room, however, was very nice and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent providing custom made items. Most of all the front desk was surprisingly extremely helpful and would go long to provide assistance.

We love the location of the property and the staff; however, our room did not hit the mark. The concept of the concrete vibe is great but it’s obvious that it hasn’t been properly cleaned. All of the corners and especially the bathroom floor and walls were all horribly dirty. The shower room smelled terribly of mildew and there was an incense holder hidden behind the front door. That was a clear indication to me that they knew it smelled bad. The sheets had stains which I took photos of and so did our bath towels. The breakfast is great and the location is wonderful, but this place needs a deep clean.

The hotel is very clean and modern. Great area for food night life and easy access to transportation. The metro is around the corner, but my favorite was the staff especially the lady who works reception during the daytime. First time in Athens got lost going to the hotel and calll asking her for directions. She was patient and when I get to the hotel she informed me on how to get around the area . Great place would definitely stay there again.

The best thing about this hotel is the reception staff- they are the nicest reception staff I’ve met. Really keen to help, nothing was too much trouble, very chatty. One day I asked for some of their breakfast cake in my breakfast box and they helpfully provided it. They also answer their emails very quickly. Only thing is breakfast is served quite late so if doing day trips you miss out on this, but do get a box.

The staff, specifically, Chrystal, was fantastic. She helped us navigate the area with maps and information. Helped us get our phones all up to travel mode. Pointed out local fun spots. I can’t say enough good things about her. She is a wonderful and kind person, and an absolute professional at her job.

This hotel was a perfect choice for Athens. Great location, close to the metro and easy to walk around. The front desk was very accommodating with check in/out times, gave us a ton of recommendations, and even surprised us with champagne and fruit in our room for our honeymoon. We’d absolutely stay there again!
