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 :).

Nice room with a view of the Acropolis! Would recommend for the price.

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.

The room and bathroom were very small but clean.

Great location and helpful staff. Was exactly as I expected : convenient, clean, AC, breakfast, etc. Everything was okay.

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.

Great location

The bathroom was small and the shower was not very good.

Good location. Good size room too and my bed was very comfortable.

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

We have stayed at the Cecil many times and love the location. We know the hotel, the breakfast etc and are more than happy with it.

- 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

Was a little tired. Drainage poor.

Loved the location. The breakfast was excellent value for money.

On this occasion we had what we think was a family room. A twin bedroom linked to a double. The double had one power socket whilst the twin had a socket by each bed. However we had one power fob so if we used the twin side with the convenient sockets we had no power on the other side/bathroom. We arrived really late and had an early start so we just left it, otherwise we would have requested another fob from reception.

Location is great. We tend to always chose this hotel for an overnight in Athens on arrival/leaving. It’s not fancy but it’s clean, convenient & safe. A basic breakfast is included and always enjoyable. The staff have always been friendly.

Maybe more variety in the breakfast room.

The location of the hotel . It was within walking distance of the Acropolis. It was surrounded by restaurants, shops and unbelievable historic sites.

Location is easy walking distance from the Monastiraki stop on M3 from the airport. And walking distance to most tourist sites. The beds were comfortable enough, the room had air conditioning if needed, and also breakfast was available. For the price it was ok. Although bathroom was tiny, the door opens onto the hand basin. Not sure if all rooms are like that, or the proprietor puts people who book through booking.com in the small rooms. The only problem, as said on other reviews, is no hot water for much of the day which I would think is a basic for any hotel. I managed a shower late afternoon as the water was warm enough, but that isn’t ideal. We couldn’t shower before leaving for the day. Maybe not a problem in hot weather. Other reviews noted smell in bathroom, I guess this is because old hotel. Wasn’t pleasant smell but was only there occasionally.

Breakfast could be improved.

Great location, staff is super nice and attentive. Room was simple but had everything we needed.
