    Great for someone wanting a comfortable, not boutique, hotel with easy access to Athen's attractions

    The hotel is situated in the centre of Athens within easy walking distance to all attractions. Despite this, the room was quiet. Breakfast was excellent. The room had all features and facilities one would expect of a mid class hotel, although the view from my window was not great! (Note many do have a good view). I was very pleased to see that there was a lift to all floors apart from the roof floor, as I had a very heavy and awkward bag.

    No fridge but didnt really matter as shops to get water across the road

    Staff very pleasant. Had old style cage lift but worked well. We used stairs too. Fabulous location. Quite dated but certainly value for money. No roof garden but nice view from roof.

    There wasno fridge in the room. There was a communal small bar fridge out in the hallway though. Our room (107) had no shower screen or curtain so taking a shower was not really all that comfortable as the water went everywhere. These are the only small criticisms I have.

    The look and feel of Cecil hotel was fantastic. A throw back to a time when style was just as important as function. The location is perfect, walking distance to all that Athens has to offer.

    The only thing that i missed was a toasting machine for the bread in the breakfast room.

    Fantastic location. Clean simple accommodation, perfect for a short stay. Great value Staff very friendly and accommodating in luggage storage before and after check in/check out. Breakfast simple but good. Will be back for sure, hopefully next year :).

    There could be chairs and tables on the rooftop to create a nice garden for the guests. Breakfast could offer more variety

    Centrally located not far from the Acropolis, single room with a double bed, breakfast included. The room was spacious, clean, and cozy.

    I had a few mozzie confrontations during the night.

    I especially love these classic Greek hotels, for their beautifully timeless interiors and comfort. The Cecil is a great example. I simply loved staying there. The breakfast area was especially beautiful in the early morning.

    N/a

    We returned to overnight before flying home at the end of our holiday. We were given the same room as two weeks previously (which I reviewed so little more to add). As we were in the room longer we wondered if we could get a second fob for the electricity in the connecting room - the room with all the convenient plug sockets. We now realised they have removed the power facility in that side - so no working lights/sockets. So if you are a party of more than 2 given room 109 you should note this. And that you’ll be sharing one socket in the main room between you. And not by the bed. And anyone needing the bathroom in the night will be switching on the lights on your side. Fortunately we carried an adapter with 4 usb/plug so made it work.

    An absolute perfect position. only a few hundred metres walk to everything. Including Monastiraki Square, and station to Airport and Port. Great view of Acropolis from the rooftop. Room was small, but comfortable and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was adequate. Staff were friendly. Excellent value for money stay that I would definitely recommend.

    For the money, the bathroom was sub par. NO shower curtain which makes it very messy to take a shower, basically it is impossible to do it without wetting the entire floor. On the other hand the room was somewhat decent and tge staff was kind enough.

    Location was very good Kind staff

    - while I've never had trouble with hot water in the evenings, sometimes there would be no hot water in the mornings, i'm not sure why

    - fantastic location! - the staff was very kind and helpful - the bed was comfortable and the room had everything I could need - breakfast was simple, but very tasty
