O&B Athens Boutique Hotel

“Excellent location and service in Athens for a great rate”

I wish I left this review earlier, as we stayed in May 2023, not October 2023. We only stayed one night, but I can’t imagine staying anywhere else for a convenient short stay, right way to the most central part of site-seeing Athens, restaurants, and bars.

I wish I left this review earlier, as we stayed in May 2023, not October 2023. We only stayed one night, but I can’t imagine staying anywhere else for a convenient short stay, right way to the most central part of site-seeing Athens, restaurants, and bars. As I’m sure a lot of people do, we were staying overnight on the way back from island travel, before going to the airport the next day. While Americans not from big cities may not be used to urban neighborhoods like O&B, we are, and know to not wander around and stay where the busy night life and tourists are — and we had a great time, even if just one evening! The location is great especially for friends, younger couples, or solo travel, as long as you know to stick to the busy areas. I’m not sure this hotel is the best choice for kids compared to others in the area (?), but it does have a restaurant, and so could be a good choice for families if needed! The staff at O&B were truly wonderful and so helpful explaining the area, and the Parthenon/ Acropolis view is right within a few minutes’ walk — and again, amidst countless restaurants and bars and shops. The room was incredibly clean, the staff went above and beyond to help us get our car the next morning, and the rate was incredible considering all the above. Thank you to the entire O&B staff! I hope we can spend more time in Athens some day!l

“Central and convenient”

We liked the central location which is walking distance to the Agora and the Plaza with lots of dining options. Breakfast bar was delightful. Staff was very kind and helpful with print outs documents for our cruise journey. We loved Dion who packed our breakfast for our tour journey to Meteora. Rooms were decent. We stayed 4 nights and most of the time we were on tour so it is good to rest in a clean suite after long days of exploring. We will definetely come back!

“Good Breakfast & Location”

This is an OK and fairly modern boutique hotel. Strong points are the location, breakfast and the comfy bed. The breakfast staff were also lovely and always remembered our drink choices, which was a nice touch. Points for improvement are the white towels are old, grey and tatty. We were there for … more

This is an OK and fairly modern boutique hotel. Strong points are the location, breakfast and the comfy bed. The breakfast staff were also lovely and always remembered our drink choices, which was a nice touch. Points for improvement are the white towels are old, grey and tatty. We were there for 8 nights. On day 4, 2 of the 4 pillows were taken away for no apparent reason and never to be seen again. The replacement of shower gel was hit and miss. One day, the bathroom bin was not emptied, which is not great in a country where you don't flush the loo roll. Another day, the AC in half the hotel stopped working and all we were told was that an engineer would come the next morning, which he did, however, we had an uncomfortable night as it was so hot. The reception lent us a huge fan which helped, but it was quite noisy. I feel the manager, who we did speak with, could have dealt with this much better. Would I go back, yes, for all the reason first mentioned, but I do hope they will improve based on feedback.
