I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Modernist and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The room was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and offered a stunning view. Every detail, from the luxurious bedding to the thoughtful amenities, contributed to an incredibly comfortable stay. The hotel's location is perfect—close to major attractions yet peaceful enough to provide a relaxing retreat. I would highly recommend staying here.

Only there for 1 night but it couldn’t have been a better experience. Stayed in Athens for an additional day after a 7-night Mediterranean cruise. Front desk was top-notch in helping secure our luggage until our room was ready. Upon our return from sight-seeing later that night the staff was great at getting us settled into our room. Room was clean, comfortable, and stylish. Free breakfast was just fine. Not huge spread but enough to adequately satisfy. Upon learning our flight back to the US had been cancelled, again the staff was phenomenal at reassuring us they would accommodate us additional nights if needed although we ended up not needing it. Also after getting our bearings of the area, we realized the location of the hotel was excellent and in walking distance to the main dining and shopping areas and the hop on- hop off bus. Highly recommend

I can’t say enough good things about this boutique hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful, rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great. Location was awesome for someone who doesn’t want to be in the tourist chaos. You can grab a cab for 5 min to take you to the center if you don’t feel like walking. The Kolonaki area is super cute, with restaurants, bars and shops that you don’t want to leave and go to the center anyways.

Loved this property. Very close to a train station and to restaurants and shops. Breakfast was included and was excellent Lots of events planned at the hotel and the staff were warm and knowlegeable. I traveled there with teens and felt safe letting them leave the hotel and take the train without us. We had the family room and it accommodated the 4 of us quite well. We would stay there again
