Zeus Essence Athens Central, former Athens Key

As described, very friendly staff and the manager! Very welcoming and helpful. Good value for the money, with many things to do around walkable distance. Thank you for the nice upgrade 😊

All was good

Here’s a detailed review you could post: I had a very pleasant stay at Zesus Athens Central and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Athens. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Their hospitality made me feel comfortable straight away and really added to the overall experience. I stayed in a double room with a balcony, which was spacious, comfortable, and well-maintained. Having the balcony was a great bonus, providing extra space to relax after a day of exploring the city. The room was clean and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. One of the highlights was the air conditioning. Athens can get very warm, especially during the summer months, but the air conditioning worked perfectly. It kept the room cool throughout the night without being noisy, which helped me get a great night’s sleep. The bathroom was also excellent. It was modern, clean, and stocked with useful amenities. The shower was particularly impressive, with strong water pressure and plenty of space, making it a great way to refresh after a long day. I also had breakfast during my stay and was pleasantly surprised by the variety available. There was a good selection of food, catering to different tastes, and everything was fresh and well presented. It was a great way to start the day before heading out to explore Athens. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the opportunity to try the restaurant in the evening, but I did visit the rooftop area and the views were absolutely stunning. The panoramic views over Athens create a fantastic atmosphere and make the hotel feel even more special. Overall, Zesus Athens Central offers comfortable rooms, excellent facilities, a great breakfast, and outstanding service. Combined with its convenient location and beautiful views, it made for a wonderful stay. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Athens.

Room very spacious ans clean, breakfast is rich and tasty, staff very professional and welcoming with big attention to details

Nothing honestly

The hotel is in a central location and within easy walking distance of sites like Lycabettus Hill (30 mins) and the Acropolis etc. Also 15 minutes from the main shopping area.

Both my client and my taxi driver did advise me though that this was an 'eyes open / be aware' part of Athens at night. I was travelling alone so took taxis back to the hotel after work meetings. The hotel has a lovely roof terrace for breakfast but on my second morning there it was not as clean as it should have been (crumbs on tables etc) and the breakfast had not been fully set up at 7.20 when I arrived. Breakfast is listed as from 7am to 10am. The coffee machine was not working and there was no bread available. The chef was frantically trying to stock everything. Perhaps there were staff shortages. I also thought the hotel room could have been cleaner (floors especially and the wall around the bathroom mirror).
