Coco-Mat Athens Jumelle

Kolonaki Athens|0.14km from Byzantine and Christian Museum
Coco-Mat became famous for the mattresses and natural products they create and staying in one of their hotels makes you understand why. + First off, the attention to detail is really something, the cleanliness and the fact that most of the items in the room as well as in the entire hotel, are made from natural materials (as most of them are sold by the company this makes sense, but they also collaborate with like-minded vendors, like the one of the hangers for instance - see photo). Even the room's ceiling was beautiful! I loved the ambience, the lobby was very cosy and beautifully decorated for Christmas. The neighborhood is one of the best in Athens, 500m. from the closest metro station and the Cycladic & Byzantin Museums are right around the corner. I didn't get a chance to taste the menu at the restaurant, but all looked delicious - hopefully next time! Also, in terms of cleanliness 10/10 for me, regarding the room as well as all public spaces. I'd like to save the best for last: THE bed. It was one of the best sleeps I've had in my entire life and it really exceeded my expectations! It is undoubtedly the most comfortable matress I've slept on and even though I have a chronic back pain, I did not feel any discomfort whatsoever. Sooo worth it! Ps. 1. small detail but worth mentioning: the breakfast plates are gorgeous - kudos to whomever chose them!! (see photo) Ps. 2. the breakfast was delicious with many savory and sweet options to choose from :-) Ps. 3. Comp mini-bar with refreshments was a great gesture! - There were 2 things that unfortunately did not lived up to my standards. First and foremost, personnel: I found it strange that while, during c/i, the FO associate tried to show me around and escort me to my room, a cleaning lady was in between and did not move nor greeted/acknowledged us. During breakfast: the personnel, although very polite, was often absent, leading a few of the guests searching/waiting for them. It wasn't quite clear what we were supposed to do, mostly regarding covid regulations: when I sat to my table, they brought placemats etc. but did not explain how it works - if it is self-service, what are the à la carte choices, etc. When I decided to stand up and walk towards the food station, they explained I needed to wear gloves before self-serving, but nothing about where to throw them afterwards - and I looked for a bin but didn't find one. Another guest walked in after me and as there was no staff around, he did not wear gloves-again no clearly-mentioned rules. At some point I asked for juice and the woman who delivered it (again, very polite) did not seem to be staff, judging from her outfit (I'm not sure if she had just finished her shift and did it as a favor to another colleague or if she even worked there at all..). On the same subject I found the staff in general a bit too informal for what I was expecting, but maybe that's just me. Secondly and minor but still: there was a bluetooth speaker in the room and alt

Athens Squared Apartments

Pangrati
Amazing apartment with everything you need. Just 30-40 minutes walk to all the sights that Athens has to offer. The host was great, communication was top notch and very helpful. The apartment had 2 spacious bedrooms both with on suite. A full fitted kitchen with everything you need for your stay. The living are was comfy and had a little dining area. We had our own little balcony which look put over the the street below, we also had access to the roof terrace which had fantastic view and was a great place to chill. There is a little supermarket about 5mins away and a bakery which sold the most amazing cakes, pies and breads. Also round the corner is a little area filled with Bars & Restaurants so no need to go into the main tourist area every night. Would highly recommend staying at the Athens Squared Lofts/Apartments for your visit to Athens.

The Modernist Athens
4.6/582 Reviews
Kolonaki
A new hotel in the heart of Kolonaki, Athens' well-to-do district, the Modernist is a great blend of amenities and service. The hotel opened the week I visited and I expected there to be a few kinks to work out, but there were none! Service is wonderful, staff proactively asked what we needed, from carafes of sparkling water that they brought to the room on request any time of day, to laundry and other things. They also were very keen to know how they were doing, considering they were new. Breakfast is delightful, with a a creative mix of traditional Greek things and other international food. COVID setup is hygienic and efficient. We had a large room, which is not particularly large but has spectacular balconies overlooking the park across the street and with views of Lycabettus Hill. Windows are isolated and do a good job of keeping out the Athenian noise. Finally, the upstairs roof deck is a real delight, quiet, private, with a fantastic view of the Acropolis, and with a telephone to order drinks from downstairs. It's like being at the Hilton Bar across the street, but not paying 20 euros for cocktails. All told, a great start and a wonderful find, I wish the staff all the best of luck!

Kolonaki
The hotel is in the middle of the mountain, there are two roads that come up, one is straight, straight road + steps, fitness people may prefer. Another road from the kolonaki square is a child-shaped figure with a total length of about 300 meters. If you go slower, there is no problem. If you have a suitcase for the first time, you must take a taxi. Hotel facilities are general, the bed is more comfortable. Compared with the previous two hotels, this cover is a quilt, unlike the first two covers are sheets + blankets. Some people feel that it doesn't matter, hotel selection is a very personal problem, but I may think it is very important.
