Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Athens Market Portrait is praised for its ideal location, being just a short walk (around 400m) from Monastiraki metro station and close to the Acropolis. Guests appreciate the clean, modern rooms equipped with amenities like a Nespresso machine and a mini fridge with complimentary water. Breakfast is a highlight, served on a rooftop patio with a good variety of options, though some have noted the coffee isn't the best. Its proximity to shops, restaurants, and major attractions like Monastiraki Square and the Plaka district makes it a convenient base for exploring Athens.

the staff was helpful. i found the breakfast good with various fresh options. the hotel is centrally located, providing quick access to tourist sites, food places, and transportation.
the carpet on the stairs was stained. bath towels were very small and thin. i was in a room on the first floor and i could hear noise from the street at night because the windows were not double glazed, though ear plugs were provided.

excellent stay near the market

the hotel features rooms with two separate beds in different areas. this setup offered privacy (i greatly appreciated this). breakfast included a diverse selection. the staff stored my order even before my arrival, a thoughtful gesture.
the carpet on the stairs presented some staining. bath towels were also quite small and thin. i could hear a lot of street noise at night, as my room on the first floor lacked double-glazed windows. (earplugs were indeed provided).

The hotel is very close to Monastiraki Square. The staff boxed up my breakfast for a very early departure. My room included robes and slippers, which I always find a nice touch (attention to detail makes a difference!).

The location was a short walk to the square and a big fish market. Staff were amazing, especially Fanis. He provided helpful recommendations. The room was a good size, clean, and comfortable. It had everything I needed. Free water was available daily and windows opened for fresh air. That was great. AC and heat worked perfectly.

The staff was friendly and the location was close to the metro.
The room I got faced an internal shaft so there was no actual window. I expect more natural light, and this lack was very disappointing. The air felt stuffy because there was no real ventilation.
