We were so pleasantly surprised by our stay at The Modernist. It is a smaller boutique hotel and captured EVERYTHING we had hoped for during our time in Athens. The staff and their recommendations were AMAZING. We did not have enough time to do sufficient research before we arrived and relied heavily on the help from the staff for restaurants (where locals go and not geared to tourists), how best to view the Acropolis, providing taxi service, where to walk to, etc. The room amenities included everything we hope to have when traveling - a great mattress and linens, sufficient AC, a window that opens, a makeup mirror, a full length mirror, a HOT shower with good pressure, a tea kettle, an iron and decent shelving and space to unpack. The included breakfast spanned over several hours so you didn't have to hurry to get it in. The food was delicious and the beverage service did not disappoint. We spent a fair amount of time on the roof top deck, which was comfortable and relaxing. The music was always on point and the convenience of ordering from the rooftop was an added bonus. We would stay at this hotel again and again.

We had an awful sleep, our room smelled so badly that it triggered an asthmatic attack for the two of us! The staff couldn’t move us because they were fully booked. They swore that all rooms are non-smoking but the smell was so bad and strong that they surely have a problem. We definitely over paid for the quality received, we will never go back. We are exhausted and stressed because of our lack of sleep. The staff was friendly enough but they just couldn’t address a huge issue with the state of their hotel room.

This was our first stay at this hotel and we’re pleasantly surprised. The hotel was clean with comfortable room of modern design. The staff was very welcoming, hospitable and helpful with all our requests. The hotel is conveniently located on in a quiet yet central neighbourhood. The breakfast was a generous buffet and the rooftop lounge provides a perfect end to the day with a view of the Acropolis in the distance. Next time we are in Athens we will definitely be returning to this hotel.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Modernist and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The room was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and offered a stunning view. Every detail, from the luxurious bedding to the thoughtful amenities, contributed to an incredibly comfortable stay. The hotel's location is perfect—close to major attractions yet peaceful enough to provide a relaxing retreat. I would highly recommend staying here.

Only there for 1 night but it couldn’t have been a better experience. Stayed in Athens for an additional day after a 7-night Mediterranean cruise. Front desk was top-notch in helping secure our luggage until our room was ready. Upon our return from sight-seeing later that night the staff was great at getting us settled into our room. Room was clean, comfortable, and stylish. Free breakfast was just fine. Not huge spread but enough to adequately satisfy. Upon learning our flight back to the US had been cancelled, again the staff was phenomenal at reassuring us they would accommodate us additional nights if needed although we ended up not needing it. Also after getting our bearings of the area, we realized the location of the hotel was excellent and in walking distance to the main dining and shopping areas and the hop on- hop off bus. Highly recommend

I can’t say enough good things about this boutique hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful, rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great. Location was awesome for someone who doesn’t want to be in the tourist chaos. You can grab a cab for 5 min to take you to the center if you don’t feel like walking. The Kolonaki area is super cute, with restaurants, bars and shops that you don’t want to leave and go to the center anyways.
