Hotel Cecil is in a very convenient position, very close to Monastiraki Square, near restaurants, the train station, and also The Plaka.
The double room I had was quite small with a small bathroom - but it was functional.
The included breakfast was good with a lovely Breakfast lady (though quite reserved)

Wonderful historic hotel filled with atmosphere and great details, such as the elevator and spiral staircase. Unbeatable views from the roof of the Acropolis! Friendly staff, and perfect location in the center of town. Highly recommend!

Very good choice for a budget stay – warm atmosphere and great location
This was my first time at this hotel, and I was positively surprised. I was looking for affordable accommodation and wasn’t expecting luxury, but the hotel exceeded my expectations. The location is excellent for shopping and getting around, and there’s a great bakery and other services right next door. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and the hotel has a charming and even unique atmosphere. As a bonus: you get a direct view of the Acropolis from the rooftop. Great value for money – I have nothing negative to say about my week-long stay.
