We recently stayed at the Athens Tiare Hotel with a group of 9, occupying multiple rooms. While the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay, there were several issues that impacted our overall experience.
The good:
• The hotel is in a great location—within a 10–12 minute walk to rooftop bars and restaurants with stunning Acropolis views.
• Easy access to shopping and local amenities.
• There’s an on-site bar and a couple of dining options.
The not-so-good:
• The breakfast was very basic and repetitive each day.
• Every room in our group experienced flooding in the bathroom when using the shower. The seals on the shower doors were poorly designed, which meant we constantly had to use towels to soak up water from the floor.
• The hotel has only two tiny elevators that are extremely slow, so we often ended up using the spiral staircase multiple times a day.
• Although we booked rooms with balconies, we were not able to access them, which was disappointing.
• Air conditioning was inconsistent—ineffective during the day and only mildly better at night. It also took longer to cool the room if the staff removed the key card (which controls power to the room).
This hotel has potential with its location and friendly staff, but the maintenance and amenities need serious improvement. With a few upgrades, it could offer a much better guest experience.
