Divani Acropolis Palace Hotel

This hotel is located in a pleasant, quiet, residential neighborhood. It was a short walk to the Acropolis, the Plaka area, and the Syntagma area. It is new and modern. However, it is very large and they handle a lot of large tour groups. They don't really have a concierge. If you need any help, advice, or directions, you have to ask for help from the front desk people and they are very very busy. Breakfast was very extensive. Lots of choices.

We stayed for 2 nights in May, 2007 at the Divani as part of a Greece package that we had booked through Gate 1 Travel. As others have already said, this hotel has a great location with just a few blocks to the Acropolis and other major attractions. Our room did not have a view of the Acropolis and we did not make it up to their rooftop bar (closed on Tuesday's) so I can't comment on the views from the hotel. Our room was comfortable and we were pleased with the size and comfort overall. The shower was small (but then again, all... more

The toilet didn’t flush well. Repeated flushes were required but tank took about 10 – 15 minutes to refill (maintenance man said this was normal – manager said if maintenance man said this was normal then it was normal). Mold in bathroom. Only one towel in room - repeatedly had to request additional towels. Temperature control didn’t work. To get the advertised view of the Acropolis you had to venture out on a small balcony and look sharply to the left. Afternoon male desk clerk was tart, stuffy and unfriendly, female desk clerk... more

Lovely hotel, excellent location and very helpful staff. Great breakfast too!

We liked this hotel. Mom and I had a decent view of the Parthenon from our balcony. The hotel is a short walk from the Acropolis and the Plaka. The room was small but bright and clean and comfortable. Staff was helpful. We especially like "Michael" in the bar who recognized us the second night we came in for our wine. He was pleasant and helpful. The downstairs restaurant was good and we loved the Greek salad. The breakfast buffet was way above average. I booked the general 3 hour tour of Athens at the front desk (with Key... more

As everyone here noted, the hotel is in a great location inside of Athens. You are just a few blocks away from the Acropolis and about a 10-15 minute walk from the Plaka area, which is a really great little section of Athens. Walking around these areas is a great way to see the the most interesting parts of the city. The hotel is perfectly fine. The pool is in an odd little area of the hotel, slumped between some apartment buildings, but after the stiffling 100 degree heat, it didn't matter, and it was great for all of us to jump in... more
