About

Athenian Residences

Athenian Residences sits on Ogigou, a quiet street in the heart of Athens, 6 minutes on foot from the Benaki Museum of Islamic Art and 17 minutes from the vast Temple of Olympian Zeus. The hotel combines traditional architecture with contemporary comfort, offering air-conditioned rooms and apartments, each with a sitting area, dressing area, tea and coffee facilities, and a flat-screen TV. Many units also feature a patio or garden furniture, and the family apartments come with a dining table and kitchen utensils for self-catering.

Guests can start the day with an in-room breakfast, then relax by the outdoor swimming pool, equipped with sun loungers. The hotel provides practical touches: a safe deposit box, soundproofed rooms, key card access, and a 24-hour security. The front desk offers concierge service, tours and ticket assistance, and luggage storage. Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, with an express option, and check-out is at 11:00. A paid airport shuttle is available, and parking is on site — but note that pets are not allowed and the entire property is non-smoking.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if traveling with an animal.
  • Strict non-smoking policy — The property is entirely non-smoking, which may be a drawback for smokers.
  • Check-in ends at 23:59 — If you arrive late, you must complete check-in before midnight; late arrivals may not be accommodated.
  • Moderate value for price — With rates from £209 per night for a 3-star property, some guests may find the price on the higher side, though the location and amenities partly justify it.
