A new gem!
I have never stayed at a property where the staff was so kind and totally focsed on service. From the manager, front desk staff, to housekeeping they are happy to make every effort to make your stay enjoyable. The hotel is new so the signage wasn't up yet but it was still easy to find. It is in pristine condition and the location couldn't be better. It is under 7 minutes walk to the Acropolois, Roman Agora, Hadrians Library, and the Metro. Do yourself a favor and add in the breakfast. Delicious and generous. I highly recommend Esse!

Esse Hotel is 10/10
Fantastic experience from start to finish. The rooms were spacious, modern, and immaculately clean. What truly made our stay memorable was the manager on site. Not only was she attentive and welcoming, but she went above and beyond to show us around, ensuring we knew all the amenities and highlights of the room. Highly recommend!

The hotel is situated in a lovely scenic spot where the back of the acropolis can be seen. Walking distance to and from the centre is great. Staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Hopefully this place is completed soon so that breakfast, dinner etc can be enjoyed on site. Will definitely recommend

2/10 Poor

Terrible service I will not return
Booked and specified two beds. They acknowledged “Warm greetings from Esse Athens. Kindly note that you are assigned to a room with two beds. The Front Desk Team” They only had one bed one arrival not two. So they moved us to another room that still only had one bed! Refused to give a good rate on an open room so I left my friend there and found a different hotel for the second bed. Absolutely ridiculous poor service.

The location of the hotel is fantastic. The hotel itself has been only open for a short period of time. The room and the bathroom updated and modern. Fay the hotel manager and staff were incredibly helpful and helping us make accommodations for future travel. She was very attentive and went over beyond in service. I would highly recommend this hotel and we will come back!

ESSE is Essential in Athens!
Hotel and staff are 5stars! Fay is an INCREDIBLE Manager amd Hostess and made sure we were having the best time and that our travel arrangement for ferries were executed to perfection. The rooms are clean, comfortable and modern (brand new) but the staff exceeded all expectations! Location is perfection in Plaka! 5⭐️

Amazing. Stayed here Sept, 2024. Great location, walking distance to Acropolis and other monuments. Friendly staff, best customer service, went extra miles to make sure everything went well, even got breakfast at night since we were leaving early next morning. Included great breakfast at restaurant next door. Well kept rooms. Unique shower stall with 2 sets of showers & a electrically heated towel warmer.
