Ava Hotel and Suites

The location was excellent. Within easy walking distance to the Acropolis and the Plaka as well as most of the key important sites in Athens. The front office staff were extremely positive and helpful in terms of questions and booking cars and excursions. There are many very good restaurants in easy walking distance. The room was very large with a great bathroom and bed, and was very clean. The room had a good AC and WIFI.

The location is perfect! Incredible views of Acropolis from our balcony, it was almost unbelievable. There are tons of shops, taverns, etc nearby it's so convenient to walk out and grab food and a drink or do some shopping. We were able to do a tour of Acropolis and our meeting point with our guide was just minutes away. We traveled with our two daughters, 10 and 1.5 yrs old. The suite was the perfect size and they were able to provide a crib along with the sofa bed. The area we were in was also stroller friendly. The staff were very helpful when it came to setting up transportation for us from the airport and then to the port when we left. Highly recommend Ava Hotel and Suites!

We began staying at AVA Hotel on our annual trips to Greece about 5 years ago (2018). I initially found AVA using the Trip Advisor ratings. It's a small little "boutique hotel" in Athens, over near Hadrian's Arch. AVA hotel has become our "home in Athens" each year. We have a routine - we fly into Athens on Saturday afternoon, get to the hotel, and then go out to dinner. Sunday morning we get up, have breakfast, and begin our trip by going to the 11th century church of St Katherine's - which is about 200 feet away, down the street. We generally get a Jr. Suite overlooking Lysistratou (the front of the hotel). The view from the balcony is incredible - To the left is Hadrian's Arch, to the right is the Acropolis. After dropping our luggage, the family generally goes out onto the balcony - sees Hadrian's Arch, and says, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....home again!" The staff is wonderful, the rooms are large and clean, and the beds are the BEST! A great way to begin your Greece adventure. And don't overlook the breakfast! They've had the same person running the kitchen for 5 years (Vassiliki). She is just solid GOLD! The breakfasts are extraordinary...and a great way to get everyone together to review the program for the day. We generally measure ALL BREAKFASTS in Greece by comparing them to AVA. For the next couple weeks, each morning we hear, "Better than AVA....nah!" Each year when we come home, the family tells me, "Adjust whatever else you want in our trip next year - JUST NOT AVA." My congratulations to the management of the hotel You have done something remarkable....year after year after year! BRAVO!!!

The location of the hotel was amazing. Everything was within walking distance- Acropolis, Temple of Zeus...restaurants and souvenir shops. The staff were exceptional too. Very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

The staff is exceptional. They also have the most delightful breakfast, with fresh squeezed orange juice that is out of this world. We were traveling on to explore the islands for 9 days and they stored three very large suitcases for us until we returned. The property location is amazing. You can see Hadrian’s Arch at the end of what may be one of the oldest streets in Athens. The surrounding neighborhood is quaint and charming with a pedestrian area filled with shops and dining at the foot of the Acropolis. I would definitely stay there again.
