Divani Palace Acropolis

From the outside, it does not look like a typical 4 or 5 star hotel but inside, for the most part, it does. The lobby is beautiful and very clean. The staff and concierge are great and they speak English which really helps. On my last night, I needed to arrange for a taxi to pick me up at a certain time, go to another place and pick up friends to go to the airport and it was all done with no problem. The hotel is within a 10 minute walk to the Acropolis and there are cafe's and shops along the way. Food and drinks are not cheap here so I would look elsewhere unless you don't mind spending. The rooftop restaurant is beautiful and a perfect view of the Parthenon. The only slight issue is instead of a King Size bed, I got 2 twins pushed together. It wasn't a problem but be aware of it. The cleaning staff is really good. One of the days I had my Do Not Disturb sign on the door and as I was leaving, the maid asked if I needed anything since the room wasn't being cleaned. The rooms are not big because the building is old but for a slightly small space, they are decorated nicely. Overall, I would very much recommend staying here. Easy access to a lot of places and the staff was great.

Wonderful experience at an excellent hotel walking distance to everything on our Athens list. Greek hospitality was much appreciated - by far the best country host during our European tour.

Very nice hotel with amazing view to acropolis

The hotel staff front desk staff was wonderful and accommodating. However, the pictures of the Acropolis are deceptive. We paid for a room with a view of the Acropolis. If we leaned out far enough over our balcony railing and looked directly to our left, we could barely see a portion of the Parthenon. Also, the pictures of the Parthenon from the restaurant have been retouched as well to remove offending buildings and tanks. Finally, for the first two days we were there, the maid service did not remove old food on trays, or leave us with fresh water glasses.

We had an unfortunate experience riding the Metro from the airport to Athens where our passports and Euro were stolen. After going through the police station and all that crap, we ended up checking in to our hotel and it was like a breath of fresh air. Everyone was so nice, kind, welcoming at this hotel. The front desk helped us figure out how to get new passports, connected us with the embassy, and arranged taxi for us to get to the embassy. They gave us a nice present in our room for our honeymoon as well. There were lush robes in the room, the water was hot, room so clean, and there is a breakfast buffet in the hotel in the morning. Also the restaurant with view of the Acropolis was great! Loved the waiters there. Just such a great experience at this hotel!
