Niki Athens Hotel

Wonderful staff and clean room. Very small, but to be expected. Though they service the room every day, I did not receive toilet paper one day and had to request. The lift is tiny so the stairs are the best option. I booked the hotel because they advertise a vegan restaurant on site. When I sat down, I was confused because none of the items looked vegan, but they then brought me a vegan menu. Just be ware that you must request the vegan menu. The breakfast was okay, coffee was delicious. Centrally located and easy to navigate. Would book again.

This hotel is located on a quiet street that can be easy to miss. The main highlight would the location: it is minutes away from Syntagma station and near the epicenter of all tourist activities. Staff was very kind and approachable throughout the stay. The check in process was very smooth and they let us check in extra early when we first arrived. The hotel rooms are quaint, with smaller square-footage than an average American hotel, so having larger luggage requires frequent creative maneuvering. The elevators are equally small and antique. Despite this, the hotel delivers on charm and creates a very hospitable atmosphere. Breakfast was included during our stay at an adjoining restaurant (from 8:15 to 11:00) and consisted of à la carte options made-to-order. The menu primarily consisted of protein-substitute/egg options with breads/cereals and salad — a very healthy way to start the day.

Our stay at Niki Hotel was wonderful from start to finish. The location in Plaka was perfect, close enough to walk to all the main attractions in Athens, yet tucked away enough to enjoy peace and quiet away from the crowds and nightlife noise. What truly made this hotel exceptional was the breakfast. Without exaggeration, it was the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had. The variety was incredible, and as a vegan, I was especially impressed by the outstanding vegan menu with multiple thoughtfully prepared options. It’s rare to find a hotel that puts this much care into plant-based dining. One morning I had a delicious avocado and tofu toast paired with vegan blueberry pancakes, and it was genuinely one of the best breakfasts I’ve had anywhere. The service was equally excellent. The reception staff were warm, welcoming, and always happy to help. The rooms were spotless, the beds were very comfortable, and the overall atmosphere felt relaxing and inviting. I highly recommend Niki Hotel to anyone visiting Athens, especially travelers looking for exceptional hospitality and an amazing breakfast.
