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!

The location was amazing, very central and close to train station. Unique character to the hotel as well. Beds were a bit uncomfortable but other than that, no complaints. Hotel staff were always helpful.

Very near the market and Monastraki Square. Neat rooftop. Despite the hotel being older, there is some nice charm with the elevator and furnishings. Breakfast was ok, and it was available early at 7am.

We stayed in Cecil Hotel for two nights and it was a pleasant stay. Its a vintage hotel that offers a true Greece vibe! Small marbled frontage you will miss if you walk too fast, and marbled floor that's correct for the period. The antique elevator is fascinating, it still worked flawlessly! Clean room and definitely no bugs! Free internet and free continental breakfast on the first floor. Thumbs up!

The lift is a blessing for those with tender knees. Many hotels in Europe lack one. The included breakfast was fine, nothing special. Location is great. The tone of the place is rather somber, but the street vibe outside makes up for it.

Lovely hotel that feels very honey with a nice old-world feel. The staff are all great. The breakfast is basic, but it’s exactly what I need. I’ve stayed many times and will of course stay here again anytime I’m in Athens.

Hotel is basic. Breakfast just bread, sliced ham, sliced cheese, boiled eggs, cereal. No toaster. Rooms basic, tiny shower, noisy at night due to people shouting all night and traffic noise. Surrounds not nice after dark. Roof terrace with acropolis view very nice, go up and see at night. Staff friendly and helpful.
