Hotel was clean but was small. View of the hotel was the backyard so nothing special. Didn’t try their breakfast as I didn’t have time. Hotel didn’t have a slope up. So you have to climb up stairs with your luggage. But service from the staff was great. Gave us wine for our birthday. Location is about 5mins from the train station and a few tourist attraction.

I was absolutely blown away by this hotel, it was super stylish, in a great location and easy to get to all the major sights but still away from the hustle and bustle, super friendly and efficient young staff, a wonderful room with my own balcony, and crowning it all a rooftop bar with fabulous views of Athens where you can sip a lovely drink. I absolutely loved everything about this hotel and I am definitely coming back again next year.

A fabulous find in Athens! Staff were amazing, helpful, friendly and welcoming. Special mention to Ioanna who checked us in and organised a dinner reservation close by. Breakfast staff and food superb♥️

We spent 4 nights at the beginning of August staying in an XL room at the Modernist. Superb room - wrap around balcony, hot tub, outside shower & complimentary drinks. Whilst the room was exceptional it was the staff that really made the hotel. Everyone was so helpful and friendly, from Reception through to the wine tasting & breakfast staff, nothing was too much for them. It’s a bit unfair to pick out one person, but Mike in the restaurant was the epitome of knowledgeable, polite service with a smile, and he made the best hotel coffee I’ve ever had (in over half a century of staying in hotels). Well done Modernist, and thank you, we will make it our base whenever we’re in Athens.

I stayed here for two nights on the way back from the islands. Where the hotel excels: Design forward. Thought is given to every design choice and it comes through to create a modern and minimalist vibe that creates an immersive experience for the guest. Staff: The staff at reception were always there to help and the service felt genuine and authentic. Neighborhood: The neighborhood is very green and shady which is not the case with all of Athens. There are great shopping streets and cafes nearby. Easy walk to the subway. Felt like i was in the real city and not a tourist zone. Rooftop bar: Amazing place to have a drink and watch the sunset. Service at the roof was superb. Where the hotel can improve: Wifi: The wifi signal is not strong, and even loading basic things like instagram reels seemed like a challenge. Most of the time i just used cellular data as it was faster and more stable then the hotel wifi. Noise: Not recommended for light sleepers. If I wasn't hearing noise from the street, I was hearing noice from housekeeping or guest conversations in the hall. Bedding: I found the sheets and bedding to be scratchy and very thin. The hotel should invest in a higher thread count or different type of cotton to provide better sleep. Breakfast service: The first morning I went to breakfast I had no idea what to do, where to sit or if there was a menu. I just ended up helping myself. It was not till my last day that i learned you could order eggs. The food was delicious. The service at breakfast was not.

I recently stayed at The Modernist Athens and couldn’t have asked for more. The whole hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff were genuinely lovely — always ready to help with a smile. My room was spacious, modern and really comfortable. Facilities throughout the hotel were excellent, especially the beautiful gym which was a nice bonus. Breakfasts were fresh, tasty and a great start to the day. The location is ideal — very close to a Metro station so getting around is easy but also just a short walk to the Acropolis and surrounding sights. Overall a perfect choice whether you’re travelling alone, as a family, couple or for business. Highly recommend.

Very nice room with views of Athens, fab staff, great breakfast buffet. Also the hotel had Perfect night views of the Acropolis from the roof terrace. The Modernist was in a walkable neighborhood with traditional tavernas with minimal tourists
