Esse Athens was the perfect stay for my husband and I while staying in Athens. It had a great location, convenient to everything. Our room was clean, updated and provided a great view of the Acropolis! The staff was always warm and friendly and answered any questions we had. Constantinos went above and beyond our expectations by giving us great restaurant suggestions and allowing us to try his wonderful Moussaka! I will be forever grateful. I cannot recommend this hotel boutique enough. It was a great choice and I would definitely stay here again!

Ideal Plaka location

Reception is very tiny, but the room was well sized for a European room. We had a double on the 3rd floor. Elevator worked. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was at a cafe down the street and was fantastic! We had an early ferry to Hydra one day and we got it to go (yogurt with granola, fruit, breads and jellies). The staff was quick to fix issues (housekeeping forgot to leave towels and we needed safe assistance). They were very friendly and had recommendations ready. The location is really perfect. We walked to everything but the Archaeology Museum. Plenty of restaurants to choose from (try Symposio). A view of the Acropolis from the road in front. City noise level, but not horrible because it’s a small street. I would go back. I wish I had taken pics in the room but they do look like the rendered drawings from the site.

The hotel is situated in a lovely scenic spot where the back of the acropolis can be seen. Walking distance to and from the centre is great. Staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Hopefully this place is completed soon so that breakfast, dinner etc can be enjoyed on site. Will definitely recommend

The location of the hotel is fantastic. The hotel itself has been only open for a short period of time. The room and the bathroom updated and modern. Fay the hotel manager and staff were incredibly helpful and helping us make accommodations for future travel. She was very attentive and went over beyond in service.
