excellent location. close to everything. Very large suite. Very clean. A pleasant surprise of a fruit bowl and wine! Very friendly staff. Stored our luggage until our room was ready. Had a wonderful time in Athens partly due to a wonderful suite. We would definitely stay here again!

Eternity Athens
great location. rooms are updated and clean. staff are amazing and super helpful. The only downside we had was that we had a room with a view (which was great) but that meant the room was facing the main street and there was street noise throughout the night
