Absolutely love the friendly and helpful staff. We arrived early from a cruise and they were able to store our luggage until the room was ready. That gave us the opportunity to be luggage free so we could enjoy the city early in the morning before it got busy. Do not skip the lovely breakfast spread in the morning. They can even make a nice omelet for you. Front desk was super helpful reserving a taxi for us the night before. We loved the unique see through floor and the nice cold air conditioning when it got really hot outside. Would 100% stay here again.

Liked that the receptionist prepared a box breakfast. Did not like the evening music coming from the outside bars, but the hotel provided ear plugs which definitely helped.

A great basic place to stay at, ver close to a metro station. This is why I chose it. The lay out of the rooms are a bit strange, but the staff and the service is stellar. They gave me a different vacant room to sleep in when the AC in my room broke down. The staff is extremely kind and helpful. I would stay there again due to the convenient location and would tolerate the night life noise that at least in my room was not too bad and I could sleep. I did not even use the earplugs they provided. The insulation is quite good

Very nice hotel in the heart of Athens, close to the shopping areas and 10 minutes walk from the Acropolis. The staff are very friendly. Crystal marked out all the key places to visit on a map, giving us various tips and also ensured we would have breakfast boxes on the days we would be leaving early on tours. The rooms are a decent size with modern fittings.

The staff at the Fountain Athens was fantastic. The rooms are clean and nice. The breakfast was great. The elevator is tiny but the stairs are fine without luggage. Be prepared for loud partying in the front of the hotel until very late.

Unfortunately, the lovely hotel is across the street from a noisy bar that is open with loud music until after midnight. After the bar closes, patrons are wandering around talking loudly or yelling. Wear ear plugs, definitely helps.

The Fountain Hotel was a positive experience! Staff was friendly; "Evi" demonstrated such great customer service! We arrived 5hrs before check in and were told that they would prioritize our room to have it ready and clean early for us, which they did. By the time we returned two hours later, our room was ready, and all luggages were brought upstairs - a total of 6-7 heavy luggage items brought to the third floor using the small elevator. Thank you Evi!!! We were given lots of tips and suggestions on how to best enjoy the local area. The only con was it was a little loud at times during the night but it was to be expected due to such a central location amidst a road of bars and restaurants. Ear plugs were provided in our rooms. The continental breakfast was enjoyable and appreciated by the party I was with. There are a fair amount of local cafes and restaurants to grab treats and meals throughout the day. I recommend the spanakopita at Bougatsadiko Psirri! Thank you The Fountain Hotel and staff; we would stay here again.

Absolutely the best time at the fountain. The hostesses were absolutely amazing and sent us to wonderful places. People said it’s noisy but to my self and my husband it was just fine with the window closed even on the weekend. We stayed a total of 7 days at the fountain and everyday was an adventure.
