The Social Athens Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals

This is the first time after many years and many hotels in Greece that a 4stars hotel is really marvellous and excellent in any possible way so that deserve all the 4 stars. The rooms, regardless if you go for the standard one (like the room 305) or one of the most luxurious with a big balcony full of Mediterranean plants and a breathtaking view (like room 601) are real jewels and an example of how modern design can be glamourous but in an elegant, practical, ergonomic way without losing in coziness thanks to the ideal lighting and the right choice of textile and furniture. But the real added value of the hotel is its team. A very capable manager put together a strong customer focused team of 30+ receptionists: from Carolina, who is able to welcome you in English, Greek or a perfect Italian with the aristocratic elegance that nowadays is so rare even in the upper classes that can be seen only in movies like "Il gattopardo" of Luchino Visconti; to Michalis, who is able to find immediately a solution in the middle of the night if you are hungry and the kitchens of the restaurants are closed; to Dimitris, in his big black eyeglasses that highlights his kindness and desire to help, who is finding a solution on Sunday morning before 8:00 am when all the shops are closed and you urgently need to find and write a last minute letter of wishes before running to a Greek wedding; to Janina and her extraordinary good manners and hypercare that never loses composure even in front of challenging customers. This is the DREAM TEAM you can count on in order to have an outstanding experience in a hotel that without them would be a precious stone but with them is A REAL DIAMOND.

The staff was super efficient and helpful and friendly. Upon my arrival I was taken care of immediately and I was also given an upgrade which I really appreciated due to the difficulties I had in getting to Athens! A big thank you to Dimitri who with his extra touch made my stay unforgettable. I will definitely come back again for my next business trip and pass on the word to other business partners!

Fantastic location close to Lycabettus hill and in the lovely Kolonaki area. The first order of business for a hotel is to ensure sleep and I slept like it was my own home. Quiet room with fantastic bed ensured a great night's rest. The helpful staff and fantastic restaurant onsite was an added bonus. Having a glass of wine on the terrace at night with a great view of Lycabettus hill made for a perfect stay. For someone interested in staying active the Presidential park is close by and great for a morning run, if you don't want to use the inhouse gym facilities that the hotel offers. I would definitely stay here again.

The rooms are beautifully designed, comfortable and quiet. Desk staff were friendly and helpful. The location in Kolonaki is perfect. Staff in the breakfast room were charming and helpful. The restaurant on the ground floor is very good.

We liked the quietness. Noise was never an issue. Breakfast was good with fresh fruit salad, Greek yogurt, cooked eggs, bacon etc. toast, honey, fruit juice. Coffe or tea. Rooms were cleaned each day. Towels and bedding regularly changed too. Staff were some of the most polite and helpful I have experienced. We could and did walk everywhere to the tourist areas. We used Google maps but signal can be iffy. Plenty of eating and drinking places within close vicinity.
