Athens Lycabettus

I am traveling often and come to Athens several times a year. I consider the lycabettus as my home and the staff, especially George the desk manager, as friends. The location is fantastic, the sercice is perfect and friendly, the renewed rooftop with the pool offers you a breathtaking wiew ober the city, the sea and the Acropolis. My suite is nicely decorated in a contemporary way and opens on a private large terrace. From my eyes, and from far, I consider the Lycabettus as the best hotel in Athens. I warmly recommend it whatever is the purpose of your stay. Luc A. ALBY

Amazingly friendly staff. Very clean hotel with large comfortable beds. Really nice massage shower. The location is perfect. Easy walk down to a good selections of restaurants, cafes and bars. A taxi is recommended coming back, around 5 Euros. Very good value.

The hotel is definatelly not a 5 stars hotel, but still fairly OK. Looks like it has lost the old glam ages ago. The rooms seem bit old and tired, still clean and comfy. The restaurant that serves tasty and well displayed buffet breakfast is located on the last floor in a specious roof terrace with a great view over the whole city incl. Acropolis. As the hotel is located on a mountain (Lycabettus) it may be hard to reach for elderly people, still the area is really safe and surrounded by many small caffees and shops. We spent there one week in February. As for two women (my mom and myself) it was very important to stay in a place that is safe also after the dark (already at 6pm in winter) We indeed felt safe over there. Although, the hotel stuff was really great, the SPA's (located in the hotel) employees are quite annoying trying to sell their treatments stopping you in the lobby or at the enrance in the restaurant.
