We were traveling to Greece for our tenth wedding anniversary and booked four nights at the Ava based on all of the excellent TripAdvisor reviews. We were greeted with a bottle of wine and a beautiful flower arrangement in our room. The staff even took the time to compose a very thoughtful card for our anniversary. The room was a... More

The staff was amazingly helpful - especially Petros, Julia, and Andrea. Our room (not a suite, and on 2nd floor facing back of hotel) was spacious, spotlessly clean and included comfortable beds, private bath, plus a very nice kitchenette. Floors can be accessed by elevator or stairs. Breakfast (included in room price) was phenomenal with a nice selection of warm... More

We returned to Athens after 20 years to visit the ancient sites again. The AVA hotel at the edge of the Plaka near Hadrian's gate was the ideal headquarters for our 4 day stay. The new Acropolis Museum and a metro stop were close by and all archeological sites were within walking distance. We liked having a suite with a... More

No wonder this is no 1 on trip advisor! The staff could not be more welcoming or helpful, the rooms are fantastic (and large by Athens standards) and the location is top-notch. We got a free bottle of bubbly in our room and even had a little balcony. More

I've been through Athens many times over the years, and have not found a hotel until AVA that I would put in my address book to stay at again. Rooms were spacious. Service was attentive. Location was very central. We had rooms facing the back which were quiet and allowed for peaceful sleeping. Breakfast was quite good with options including... More

We have stayed at other hotels ranked Number 1 on TripAdvisor and have been disappointed but not this one. It's a short walk from the Acropolis Metro stop to the hotel. Most tourist attractions in the area have a relatively flat or little slope walk from this hotel compared to other areas like by the Roman Agora. We had an... More

AVA Hotel offered a great experience. We chose the hotel through TripAdvisor reviews and were not disappointed. The staff is extremely helpful and made every effort to ensure our stay was everything a traveler could desire. The location is ideal for seeing Athens--within easy walking distance of the Acropolis, Parthenon, Museums, Socrates' Prison, great restaurants and many other sites. The... More

This hotel is awesome. It's in such a good location to everything without feeling too mainstream. Our room was spacious and really clean with a pretty big kitchen. Not that we used that as the food was so good everywhere and so cheap! The reception staff were all very friendly and helpful with any questions we had. More

We stayed at AVA hotel on the front end and back end of a trip to Greece recently; read the trip advisor reviews and made reservations over the internet. The hotel staff responded promptly to all queries and were very helpful. Since we were traveling with our 2 college-age children we reserved the family suite and we were delighted with... More

Just a little bit of heaven here in Athens. I've been in the travel industry for 38 years. I've never been compelled to to rate a hotel SO highly.From the moment we arrived to check-in to the check-out, we have been treated royally. Nothing, but nothing was too much trouble for the staff. They have been invaluable in helping us... More
