Esse Athen’s exceeded my expectations. The staff were remarkable and remembered that my trip to Athens was to celebrate my mother's birthday. I even had the opportunity to check in early. The staff were friendly, kind and helpful.

Great location for exploring Athens with friendly staff. Lovely room with Acropolis view. I personally did not like the bathroom arrangement but that is my preference rather that any problems. Great breakfast.

Well located quiet hotel situated in the Plaka area. Beautiful large modern comfortable room with an awesome view. Breakfast is outside of the hotel but literally a 20 second walk away and the breakfasts were excellent with plenty of choice. Staff at the hotel were pleasant and gave us useful information. Would definitely stay there again when we revisit Athens.

This little boutique hotel has been renovated. The rooms are spacious, modernized and super clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The reception area is quite small, but you are not in Athens to hang out at a hotel reception area anyway. The view right outside the hotel is Acropolis. Amazing. This boutique hotel could not be better located. You are at Plaka and the biggest Orthodox Church in Athens. I loved it.
