Athena Hotel

A ringside seat on Old Town Nafpoli This small-scale, immaculately kept, stylish hotel is conveniently located on Syntagma Sq. in the old quarter of Nafpoli, a block from the first parliament of modern Greece. A great base for walking the historic city with shops and restaurants. Breakfast was unusually nice. Rooms smallish, but stylishly modern and comfy. Only negative is the tricky car access to all the old-town hotels via confusing 1-way roads. We finally lucked out finding Aristidou all the way at the end of the seafront and turned left on Spilladou onto Staikopolou. No parking at hotel, but free parking not too far away. Hotel desk manager/owner is a pleasant and highly competent local woman.

You can't beat the location of Hotel Athena. Its central location makes getting to the restaurants and shops a breeze. As previous reviewers indicated, there are no elevators so you will have to carry your bags up the stairs. The rooms are extremely small but very tidy. The breakfast is decent and has choices for everyone. Front desk staff was very courteous and helpful.

This place is, in my opinion, is a delightful little city hotel in the heart of the old part of Nafplion. The rooms are fairly compact I will admit, but nonetheless very comfortable! Nice beds, all facilities are modern and the balconies are very cute, allowing you to sit outside in the middle of the city and enjoy the hustle and bustle of it below you. Breakfast in the morning is served downstairs in a small and tidy area near the hotel’s reception. It consists of a mixture of cooked elements, cakes, cereals etc. Plus the hotel provides delicious freshly squeezed orange juice. There aren’t many rooms at all, so it doesn’t feel overcrowded with too many guests at all. The staff who work there are super friendly and helpful. And the location is just brilliant - so many great bars, restaurants and shops within easy walking distance around you, plus the harbour and the sea are only a few minutes walk away too If you are someone that wants to lounge about in a spacious room, this is not for you. But if you’re looking for respite and down time while on a trip to fab Nafplion, I don’t think you need anything more than here!

This property was a bit of a mixed bag for us. The staff are lovely and the location is great…IF you don’t mind noise/can sleep through most anything. The good - the hotel is on a main square with many restaurants and families enjoying the evening, and the breakfast is simple and tasty. The bad - it’s a loud area with the potential for very loud people outside our room (in our case, until well after 1am), and parking can be challenging. As is with most properties in the area, there are no elevators (not a problem for us, but definitely a point to note for those with mobility challenges). Based on noise alone, I don’t know that we would return to this hotel…but if that’s not a problem for you, it’s definitely worth a look.

Very nice people, terrific location. We had upgraded room, large by European standards, huge bathroom with walk-in closet and nice little balcony with view of Palamidi Fortress. Nice continental breakfast included. Nafplio is a wonderful sea side city with great “ sea wall” trail, historic sites plenty of good restaurants and several ancient sites within a short drive. We loved our stay.

hôtel moderne, chambre très propre, bien équipée, petit déjeuner fabuleux. Le personnel est vraiment aimable. Nous avions l'hôtel pour nous mais le personnel était bien présent . A recommander absolument, très bien situé dans le centre historique, port à proximité avec parking gratuit.
