We stayed at The Fountain Athens for 5nights at the beginning of April. We cannot fault anything! Communication prior to arrival was excellent and the hotel helped set us up with transfers on our arrival into Athens airport. The room itself was very quirky and modern and set over 2 levels and had everything we could possibly need, including complimentary bottled water each day. The whole hotel was very clean. The breakfasts were freshly made to order and something to look forward to every day. Every single member of staff at the front desk could not have been more friendly or helpful. Always happy to give advice and ideas. They helped set us up with transfers back to the airport and even let us keep on our room until our pick up time. The location of the hotel is excellent! So many bars and restaurants from right next door. In our room we heard no noise at all considering it was such a busy area. This is the only place we would stay if we return to Athens. Top rate service!

The hotel is situated just walking distance from the Acropolis, Flea Market, and Shopping areas. The breakfast was ok, but should have more options. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The room was spacious and comfortable. I would highly recommend…

Excellent hotel, but two problems

The hotel is excellent, with a great location and a very, very kind and attentive staff. The rooms are clean and beautiful. However, there were two issues — the hot water ran out in the shower, which seems to be a recurring problem at the hotel, and the location is extremely noisy. Other than that, it's an excellent hotel.

The warm reception with Eviduring the day and Crystal in the evening, was amazing. I learned how to count to 10 in Greek and also how to greet people in Greek. They gave me so much advice about places to visit and even how to get places and check subway (Metro) times.as well! The rooms are nice a spacious and the breakfast was nice and served with a smile! This is a gem with amazing people working here.

Our stay was superior in every way. The front desk staff were all wonderful and is helpful. They really care! The morning breakfast was tasty and they were so pleasant to deal with. The hotel is well cared for and comfortable. We would definitely recommend to anyone travelling who likes a busy area of town with many night options for food and music. The elevator was not horrible to use and reliable even though it is for really one person at a time. Thanks to all the staff for a great vacation stay. Σας ευχαριστούμε για μια υπέροχη διαμονή

The hotel was located near the acropolis. The room was very spacious, it actually was two stories, with a living room and kitchen and refrigerator on the first floor and the bedroom, bathroom, closet and another living area with a couch and coffee table. The floor under the coffee table was made with glass so you could look down into the kitchen. The ladies that worked at the desk were so helpful with suggestions on where to eat and things to see. They even made us a breakfast box for each of us because we had an early morning flight. They were wonderful! I would definitely stay here again if visiting Athens.

If you stay here during the busy summer season, you will want to ask for a fan or something to drown out some of the sound from the bars along the street. The street is very safe and has lots of great options for dining and bars, but it gets loud. We requested a fan as we run hot and slept great with it. The staff are all very nice, welcoming and extremely helpful. We had a great time at this hotel and the room was cleaned daily and the breakfast was great. It's really a great value and right next to public transit.
