Academias Hotel, Autograph Collection

Amazing Staff. Outstanding Bed.

10.0

What a spectacular hotel! My wife and I spent two nights here and we were sad to see them end. From the minute you walk into the Academias Hotel, you notice the staff. The amazing staff! They're all wonderful. Every single person we met was kind, enthusiastic to have us there, and always super helpful. You're greeted with a delicious welcome drink, which is a tasty and classy touch. Then, once in our room, we were blown away by the modern design. It was stylish, but still quite functional. And the bed. THAT BED! Maybe the best hotel sleep I've ever had. From the mattress to the pillow to the cozy comforter, I was asleep in seconds each night. The Academias is in a prime location, too, in easy walking distance to key sites in the city center. If my travel plans ever take me back to Athens - and I hope that they do - I will absolutely stay here again.

So decided on this hotel instead of the Grand Bretagne because it is a block and half away from the GB and part of AMEX FHR program. PROS: good location EXCELLENT Japanese Restaurant (ROOFTOP) with great FOOD, Service and Vibe, also fantastic view of the Acropolis Bed is comfortable Really nice bathroom Super friendly and helpful staff CONS: You cannot throw TOILET PAPER in the toilet due to ancient pipes LOL - this is NOT a joke and for us, it was pretty gross having to throw your used TP in a bin Pillows are not good or comfortable Room is dark, like very dark unless you open the curtains fully which gives the construction next door a view into your room absolutely ZERO storage (TWO very small drawers in the entire room) and we had the biggest room. The next category up was a suite. For 1/2 the price of the GB, it was a good stay. Definitely eat at NYX, it is excellent

Nearly great

This has the makings of an excellent hotel but there are a few small things that happened which stopped me giving it 5 stars. For context, we had an executive room which we pay $800 per night for. Let’s start with the good: - The room was lovely. Clean, luxurious and comfortable. It had everything you needed. The bed made for a great nights sleep! - We had massages at the spa. The whole experience was amazing and the prices were very reasonable for a hotel. - The food at the hotel from the breakfast, to the lunch to the Japanese roof top restaurant was great. The roof top also had a great view. The issues we had: - I called reception to ask if they had any deodorant as I had forgotten it. They didn’t have any which is fine but I asked where could I get it from. The answer was it’s Sunday so no where. I had to push them 3/4 times before they told me actually there is a convenience store a few minutes away that is open. It just didn’t feel very helpful. - The chamber maid came to offer us a turn down service (she was very nice and professional). We said we didn’t need the turndown service but wouldn’t mind an extra couple of towels. She went away and came back a few minutes later saying sorry they didn’t have anymore towels. It’s quite honestly ridiculous that any hotel (especially one charging $800 per night) doesn’t have additional towels. - The food at the Japanese restaurant was excellent and the staff were very nice. However, it was extremely disorganised. You waited ages for simple things like water and orders came wrong to several people. To conclude, it could be a great hotel but a few small things let it down.
