During our stay at Esse Athens, we had one of the most memorable hospitality experiences in Greece. This is much more than just a hotel—it’s a place where exceptional service meets genuine warmth. From the moment we arrived, the front desk staff welcomed us with unparalleled kindness and professionalism. Every question, whether about local recommendations or small requests, was met with enthusiasm and care. Conversations with them were such a joy; we found ourselves chatting about everything from Athens' rich history to hidden gems in the city. It’s clear their attentiveness is a reflection of their incredible manager, Fay, who has clearly instilled a sense of pride and dedication in her team. The cleaning staff were equally outstanding, ensuring our room was immaculate every single day. They went above and beyond to create a cozy and comfortable environment for us. The breakfast deserves a special mention. It was nothing short of remarkable. With a delightful variety of fresh, flavorful options, it set the perfect tone for our mornings. We wholeheartedly recommend indulging in the breakfast—it’s a standout feature of the hotel. What sets Esse Athens apart is its people. The staff are the heart and soul of this hotel, and they transform a stay into an experience. If you're seeking a place where genuine care, meaningful conversations, and personalized service are the highlights, Esse Athens is the perfect choice. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Every single person that works here was very helpful, kind and hospitable. It was like making a friend not just someone doing a job. Very clean and comfortable property. Very accessible to tourist attractions and lots of shopping and dining options. Unsure what to do they will help set you up with all you need.

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

The Esse has only been open for a couple of weeks and as such does not yet have a restaurant or bar. They still need to do some modifications so the shower doesn’t leak water unto the bathroom floor. The staff was friendly and helpful. The property is well located in the Plaka so there are plenty of shops and restaurants all around. Would definitely stay again.

Somos un grupo de 8 mujeres mayores que llegamos en dos tiempos . El personal fue extremadamente amable y el hotel nos pareció nuevo , muy confortable, muy agradable con hermosas vistas . Un puntito a mejorar es que el restaurante está fuera de la propiedad y hay que caminar unos pasos pero la comida deliciosa y todo fue maravilloso . Muy recomendable
