OUR REVIEW

Fresh colours and fresh design personify this hotel. It is in the meat packing (trendy but odd) district of Athens, which means a fifteen minute walk from Syntagma Square and Plaka.

If you like to be in an area where the "beat of the city" seems to register - this is just fine. Like all "improving" city areas though, there are times when you may want to take a taxi to the hotel door rather than walk back at night if you have any concerns about passing a few "strange" characters.

Fresh hotel is convenient for the Psirri district, which has some of the largest varieties of styles of cafe, food, music and entertainment - a sort of  art-based SoHo of Athens. The town hall of Athens and a large department store are just around the corner. (See hotel location on map)
 

Rooms are cool and generally have good light with a single colour being the main theme in bedspreads or a streak of colour as a feature in the room. Bathrooms are ultra modern, with "rain" showers and Corian sinks. If you can spend a little more, we recommend you choose an Executive room or Suite (standard rooms are a tad small).

Roof terrace is a must-visit, with an 8 out of 10 score for its view of the Acropolis (near-perfect view but includes a few amazing antennas!!).
The bar and cafe on the ground floor are cool city chic with wood/chrome/marble/ sand/cement/chrome finishes.

Underground parking is available, if you do decide to, or plans make it necessary, to keep a car with you.

Lots of good shops around (including Notos Galleries around the corner, with a rooftop cafe offering very fine Acropolis views and easy-eating platters and salads).

Athens airport - 35 km (55 minutes by metro), Pireas port - 15 km (15-20 minutes by metro).
 

Parking in the area is difficult - the hotel's underground parking comes in handy if you have a car. You are, however, advised not to keep a car for your Athens stay, instead better to make the most of the central location, walking or using the easily accessible public transportation. If you overdo it and have "too far to walk back" taxis are cheap.
