Golden Age of Athens

Golden Age has to be one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at, and—hands-down—is the best hotel I’ve stayed at in Athens (having stayed at many hotels in Athens over the years). The hotel is recently renovated, has beautiful balconies (though the balcony doors/windows do a good job insulating noise from the busy street outside), has rooms with a great layout and ample storage, has comfortable beds, and has a great breakfast buffet that stays open late and boasts a large selection of cereal, pastries, eggs, and bacon. My hotel room was impeccably clean; there was not one trace of dust in the room. Furthermore, the front desk staff, waitstaff at the breakfast buffet, and the room cleaning staff were all very kind and attentive. I had asked for several things from the front desk—like extra hangers and an iron—and such items were delivered to my door within minutes. I’ve never had items delivered to my room so quickly; usually, I’ve had to wait several hours. Golden Age is truly one-of-a-kind, and I look forward to staying here again in the future!

Great hotel for a city break. Well located for transport links and very helpful friendly staff. Very clean premises. We stay in many hotels and thought this was very good and will be staying there again.

I stayed here for four nights during a recent academic conference and the hotel was one of the discounted lodging options. The location is good, just a few minutes walking distance from the Megaro Moussikis metro station, which will bring you to the center quickly. The room was ok but slightly on the small side. Instead of a large double bed, it had two single beds put together. The AC worked well and kept the room cool, which was important given the very hot temperatures outside. Also the shower worked well and had solid water pressure. I wasn’t a big fan of the breakfast though. Unfortunately, the range of choices was limited and the savory options could have been better and more varied (e.g., the bacon was soggy, the scrambled egg was too dry). My highlight were the churros, which were delicious, but they only had them on one morning. The check-in worked smoothly and the staff is friendly and accommodating.
