The Q Hotel

I loved the location in Exarchia and had a wonderful seven-night stay. Restaurants, markets, and bars are all within a ten-minute walk, and Likavitou is just five minutes away on foot for those great views. The room was clean, and I liked unwinding on the balcony. There was even a fridge for keeping wine cold in the evenings. The friendly staff and charming café area also made it a nice place to work quietly in the mornings, with big windows overlooking the busy streets. A couple of things could be better: the toilet and bathroom aren’t neatly separated, so shower water splashes around, and breakfast quality could improve.

Breakfast was tasty and had plenty of choice, though I wish it began an hour earlier than its current 8-11 schedule. It was often a squeeze to eat before early tours. I stayed three nights and had originally booked a super cozy room, then got upgraded to a standard one. It was very clean and had everything I needed. The staff were really friendly and gave good advice. The bathrooms are a little tight, but that wasn’t a problem for me.

The women working here are so sweet and helpful. Breakfast was amazing, with lots of vegetarian choices, and the cook is the best. Our room was super clean and had a huge, really nice balcony. We had the best stay in Athens.

The bathroom in room 301 was the one real drawback. It’s compact, and the toilet sits so close to the shower screen that my legs, even at an average build, pressed against the glass. It could be a real inconvenience for someone larger. The rooms are on the small side, but the roomy balcony helps make up for that. We still had a lovely time at this clean, quiet, welcoming hotel. Staff were friendly and attentive, and the neighborhood felt safe enough that I, as a woman, was comfortable taking a solo walk. Breakfast was a highlight: fresh fruit, different cheeses, eggs cooked several ways, bacon, sausage, and other daily options. The barista-made coffee was excellent and always came with a smile. I’d highly recommend the hotel for its comfort, hospitality, and overall experience.
