Marble House

We stayed at Marble House for three nights and our opinion is absolutely positive. Christos, Nancy and Manos were more than kind with their warm welcome, their friendliness (thanks Nancy for our chats!) and their many tips for our first visit to Athens. They organised taxis for us and were invaluable when we had to change our plans due to a sudden ferry strike. The first two nights we stayed on the second floor of the hotel, in a basic but very clean and comfortable room (although the bathroom was small). It was a shame about the inconvenience caused by the rudeness of some guests, who one night started using a shared bathroom next to our room very noisily. On the third day, as we had already agreed, we moved to the “apartment” on the ground floor. This solution was definitely worth the small difference in price. It was an excellent accommodation, with outdoor space, a huge bedroom, a nice sitting room, a beautiful bathroom with a fantastic shower and a well-equipped kitchenette. We highly recommend it. The hotel is in a quiet location and very convenient for visiting the centre of Athens. The Acropolis is within easy walking distance. The neighbourhood is full of restaurants and bars frequented mainly by Greeks, less touristy and more authentic than those in the Plaka or Monastiraki areas. Piraeus is about twenty minutes away, traffic permitting, and the Flix underground station is just a stone's throw away.
