Setting and arrival
I came straight from the airport and was greeted with a warm welcome. Although I was early, my room was ready and check-in was swift.
The rooms
I stayed in a Deluxe Room with views of the Acropolis. The king bed faces a large TV and desk, a bottle of Greek wine was waiting, and sliding glass doors lead outside. Soft blue tones create a soothing atmosphere, and the bathroom is in black and white marble. The highlight is the enormous wraparound terrace, open on both sides of the building, with views that are simply unbelievable.
Location
The concierge planned an excellent walking route, and most of the city’s sights are within easy reach on foot, from the historic district’s galleries and cultural centres to old churches and monuments along picturesque streets.
The verdict
Remarkable views, attentive service and an address at the very centre of Athens make the NJV Athens Plaza a top choice in the city.
