This is a great alternative to the big box hotels in Athens. Great area, walking distance to the Acropolis (a good long fascinating walk in the same streets as Aristotle and Plato) shops and restaurants, very close to the metro. Rooms very clean and spacious.Everything worked and the air conditioning was a godsend helping us sleep well. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Very pretty blond Greek-American lady was at the front desk when we were there so obviously her English was 100%. Nice breakfast on the top floor with a stunning view of the Acropolis. Would definitely return and recommend to all my friends, except the ones that insist on big box hotels ;-)

Absolutely beautiful rooms, excellent, friendly staff and perfect
location. Best place I have ever stayed in Athens. I highly recommend
this hotel. My Greek friends who saw it said they will stay there from
now on when they go to Athens.

My wife and I both middle-aged, seasoned business and leisure travelers (more than 60/70 hotel nights per year) spent two separate nights at the Magna Grecia in February 2008. It was not an unpleasant experience, but it was not what we expected, and we would not recommend the hotel to our friends.
The hotel has a number of positive points, but falls short of what you would expect from a four star hotel. The price/quality relationship is not bad, but we have stayed in three star hotels which were much better (even if more expensive).
The hotel is housed in a XIX century building, which we consider a plus. Its location, in the heart of the Plaka, is very good. The breakfast room on the roof is very pleasant, with a magnificent view. The variety and quality of the buffet for the breakfast was also good. We had reserved de luxe rooms with panoramic view of the Acropolis (at 117.00 euros a night including breakfast) and the last promise was certainly met. We could see the Acropolis from our beds; it is difficult to do better in terms of views.
However
The renovation of the building has not been very thorough or appropriate. The bathrooms in the two rooms we were given appear as masonry cabins dropped in a corner of the rooms. They formally have everything you need, but are very, very small. In room 103, you have to put your left foot in the shower when you sit on the toilet and, in room 203, you have to wriggle out of the shower to pick up the soap if it falls on the floor: crouching or bending are not possible.
If space is a structural problem, management could do more to fix a series of simpler, daily issues. In both rooms, the TV sets were unplugged and we had to try and find the right cables and plugs ourselves. None of the remote controls worked. We operated manually the first TV set and gave up on the second. In the very simple wardrobes there were combination safes, but they were on the floor (try and enter the combination in a safe on the floor!), they were not fixed to anything (though quite bulky) and, above all, they were closed. For some strange reason you had to ask the concierge to open them! In room 203 there was a small, cheap and old electric fridge in a corner to serve as mini-bar. It looked awful and totally out of place in a room that was pretending to retain some of its past glory. We do not particularly care for mini-bars and would have certainly preferred not have one instead of having that ugly thing next to our suitcases.
We were particularly disappointed by the fact that our remarks on some of these problems were met by the arrogant statement that nobody had ever complained and, yes, they were a four star hotel!
We must have stayed at more than twenty hotels in Greece and are impressed by the good quality they usually offer. We cannot understand how this hotel could be classified as four stars. It looks like a nice two star proposition that could be a good bargain for young travelers. Next time we will be in Athens we will look for something more expensive and of at least three/four star quality.

We spend our honeymoon to Magna Grecia Boutique Hotel and we had very nice time. We took the honeymoon suite and we like it a lot. Very good location just few metres from Acropolis. Thank you Magna Grecia for everything.

Look no further! A true Greek experience. Our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teenagers) had one of the more memorable experiences of our lives at this hotel in June of 2005. Our trip would not have been the same had we stayed elsewhere. The views of the Acropolis from the rooftop dining area were spectacular and we spent several hours every evening in this most pleasant atmosphere. The rooms were quaint, charming , and very clean with beautiful views as well. The location was ideal and you can walk anywhere from this hotel. Stelios, the owner, could not have been more accomodating to our family. He was truly interested in us and made each one of us feel really special. A lovely man.
We all hugged and cried when we had to leave Athens for Crete. In all of our travels throughout Europe, or the rest of the world, that was a first for us! Our son still talks about his trip to Athens and of course, Stelios!

It wasn't my first time that I visit Greece but it was the first time that I have stayed to such a nice hotel. The staff was very friendly, the rooms very clean with a unique decoration and Acropolis view. I will recommend it to all my friends and I will come back again the next year.

The rooms are very spacey with antique furniture, smooth light and all comforts! I have never slept in a more comfortable bed as the one in Magna Grecia hotel! Fully coco mat linen equipped! Toilet amenities and bathrobes can easily fulfil all needs!
The hotel offers a rich breakfast with a total view to Acropolis. The location is gorgeous!! In the heart of Athens centre like Ermou, Syntagma, Omomoia, Plaka!
The underground is just a few steps away from the hotel; you can find taxi just outside the hotel!
The owners Mister Savvas & Stelios Ioannides (father & son) are very nice people and they have a high sense of an excellent service!
Very beautiful touch is the offer of a pair of coco mat sleepers the time of your departure from the hotel!
