Location is good and one subway stop away from Acropolis station. Cost 2.2 euro each to take and safe. Or we walked 15 minutes to Acropolis the first day. Its a straight line walk and easy. This hotel's roof garden restaurant has a direct sight of Acropolis and must visit to take day or night photo.
We leave at 3am in the morning to catch our flight and hotel staff arranged a breakfast bag for us too. The taxi fare from airport to hotel is 48Euro flat fare. So its better to pre-arranged by hotel. ( we were charged 60 by taxi the day we arrived ).
No need to book Acorpolis online if you can be there before 9am. There is no wait there at ticket office or the entrance line at South Entrance.

The hotel has great staff, everyone there was extremely helpful and friendly. On the first day, we arrived early from a night flight and were sleepy and jet lagged. The reception manager gave us early priority check-in, which we were extremely grateful for. The breakfast has extended hours till 10:30 am and both cold and hot options were available. Loved the Greek yogurt they served so thick you could eat it with a fork. The hotel is within a walking distance to the Acropolis, Agora and the metro station. We walked everywhere. Definitely would stay there again and give my highest recommendation.

Hotel Ilissos was one of the most welcoming places in downtown Athens!!!

They cared for me like family.

The breakfast buffet was beautiful with many options, fresh international cuisine, clean facilities and rooms with incredible views of the acropolis!

They helped me find my way with walking, directions the bus and Subway and how to live like a local, even though I was a tourist.

I’ll definitely be back!

I do not recommend this hotel in the summer, maint

AC didn’t work first night in middle of July in Athens that was disappointing for a 4 star hotel, they moved us to another room next door that initially seemed ok, but gradually got warmer in the morning. We left very early for our sightseeing and came back very late. AC not working in tho the room. We were too tired to change again room and we had very early flight. I mentioned at the checkout about the enconvenient so they could fix for next guest and also to give us a discount. The person at the reception said that these things just happen. I asked him to report my complain to the hotel manager. Never heard back. Sent email as reminder, never responded. Unacceptable!

Comfort cero

the comfort of the rooms is from the year 1990 approximately the mattresses must be more than 10 years old they are all stained and full of fleas the rooms have carpets full of fleas very deteriorated everything if you come on vacation this is not your hotel because you will have a bad time and All the fleas will bite you like us or your whole body will ache from sleeping on a €20 mattress

Great value. Bigger rooms, tasty breakfast. Air conditioning wasn’t working when we entered room, immediate response by staff to try and fix, when they realized it wasn’t quick fix we were moved to another room right away! Thank you😊

4 days in Athens

The hotel is located south to acropolis. The nearest metro station is less than 10 minutes walk. And then only one station to Acropolis. It takes 20 mins to walk to acropolis. So the hotel met all the criteria I wanted. Clean, comfortable, and and convenient .
The staff were very friendly and were always helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. By the way not tea or coffee in room.

My stay at Hotel Ilissos was a great experience. It was very clean. It has a rooftop lounge that has great views of the city. Hotel Ilissos would just be an empty building if i wasn't for the great staff. Thank you Natasha, John and Penelope and all the staff for the great enjoyment and hospitality.

The staff at the reception were most helpful & could not of done more to help during my stay.
If there was a downside, whilst the hotel is not far from the Metro, initially the hotel was a bit awkward to find. Having said that, if the Sat Nav had not sent me down the wrong street, this would have helped. The hotel is located 2 stops from Parliament square & one stop from the Acropolis.

This was our first time in Athens. We were traveling with friends. At the time of booking our friends booked the same type of room that we did. When we checked in our friends had been upgraded to a Grand Suite and we were given the room we originally booked. I am ok with them upgrading our friends but it should not have been done when they were traveling with another couple. I was extremely tired and disappointed with how this was all handled by the staff.

the personnel was great, from the reception to the restaurant, It is however in an older part of town and the streets were dirty but i always felt safe, my room was small but clean and had an excellent view. i was lucky i was on the back side so i could look at the acropolis and did not hear any of the traffic. there are tons of places to eat within a few blocks, you are within a 30 minute walk of almost everything and the tram, bus stops were within 2 blocks. it was 95 + degrees all week and i wish they would not have shut my ac off every day while cleaning. I guess i am just spoiled that way. definitely a good value.

Perfect but very slow internet

Service, comfort and cleanliness are all perfect and very satisfactory. Only one thing, hotel needs to improve the speed of their internet...quite slow specially if you’re inside the room. Still need to go down to the lobby to experience some improvements with the speed.

Good place in Athens

Very nice hotel. Has elevators, good wifi, great breakfast and large room. They even packed us a lunch when we had to leave before breakfast to catch a ferry... just ask the day before! The front desk offered advice and directions and check-in was smooth. The area is a little dark and seemed a bit sketchy, but a couple streets over is a very busy road with lots of shops and restaurants. Easy 15 minute walk to the subway station Sigrou-Fix on the red line.

The good thing was that this was close to our conference hotel and the price was very resonable. However, there was a large group that checked it during my stay and they were extremely loud during the night times! Loud banging on the doors and shouting well past the midnight is not ideal when you are trying to get some sleep!

Quality matches the price

We had stayed in a few hotels during this trip and this was the less comfortable of all. Nothing specific, but you'll really get what you pay for: Mattress of the bed was very thin and almost folded when we laid down, as well as there was no double bed and rather two singles together. Shower was disappointing. Location is not bad but not good either, we walked about 10 min to get to a street full of restaurants and came back by taxi (ok'ish). It was not dirty but it not give the impression of real cleaninless. During our other stay in Athens (3 nights) we got an apartment in plaka and it was much better. Would recommend to make the effort to spend a little more in Athens, should be worth it.

My stay at Hotel Ilissos was amazing! I stayed 7 nights with my friend and I have no complaints. Breakfast was great and had many options. The staff was beyond friendly and accommodating. In terms of services, they provided us twin beds as requested, cleaned the room everyday, helped us figure out the public transport system, and they went out of their way to print a boarding pass for me. In terms of location, I thought it was fantastic! It’s a 15 minute scenic walk to the city center. There’s many strips of restaurants only a 5 minute walk away. Public transport to the airport is only an 8 minute walk away. And to top it all off, the rooftop had an incredible view of the Acropolis and Mount Lycabettus. All this in a four star hotel, at an unbelievable price!

Affordable hotel with great quality

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was a bit dated but had some great amenities.

Pros:
- 24 hour concierge service
- rooftop patio with views of the Acropolis
- wifi in the rooms
- spacious room
- 15 mins walk to Acropolis
- 10 mins walk to metro

Cons:
- the area surround the hotel was a little rough - safe during the day but maybe avoid walking around at night time
- minimal restaurants near by - one nice 24 hour diner with food and dessert

Cons:

We had a great experience at this hotel. It's a bit older and seems to be surrounded by dodgy buildings, but it's not dodgy at all. It's a really great place to stay. Our room was very clean and the staff was very helpful. The buffet breakfast is pretty good and will definitely give you a good start to the day! Only about a 15 minute walk to the Acropolis and lots of sites.

The reception staff was the highlight of this hotel. They were extremely knowledgeable about the transit system and taxis. They also knew about ticket offices for ferries to Santorini. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. The shower was a little hard to operate and went from cold to boiling hot often. The hotel was satisfactory, all things considered.
