We did not consider Athens a real clean City and if I had to go over I'd only spend one night there to see the Acropolis and the Plaka then go to Santorini for more days(mkellerman)

There is only one tiny elevator so be aware of this if traveling with multiple people and/or suitcases.(ShelbyJune)

"Fabulous hotel"

2026-05-08

I had been in touch with the hotel staff with a number of questions before we arrived in Athens. The staff was so helpful: Janina, Artemis and Dimitris were so friendly and helpful with making arrangements for a transfer and also for a reservation to a local restaurant. We had made the reservation six months before our arrival, and the cost for an upgraded room seemed reasonable to us. Our room was spectacular. It was a suite with a separate sitting area and a bedroom. The towels were so plush and the bathroom was really nice. We enjoyed the breakfast too. I highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a beautiful property that is centrally located, and walkable to all the major tourist attractions.

"A little gem in Kolonaki - LOVED"

2026-05-06

Sweet little boutique hotel close to all of the tourist sites but tucked away in Kolonaki. We so enjoyed this location. I was thinking about staying at a larger full service hotel with views of the Acropolis but the penthouse suite at the Social looked really special and was half the price. The penthouse suite is super comfortable - it has the entire 7th floor to itself with a huge wrap around terrace. We enjoyed chilling out up there after long days of touring. No Acropolis view but a nice view of Likavitou. Staff were beyond kind - totally charming and could not have been more helpful. The last night we canceled our dinner plans and just wanted to stay local in Kolonaki. The staff suggested an upscale but classic Greek place four mjnutrd away with nice Greek fare and lovely service with good atmosphere. It was a perfect last night in Athens. Really nice to hit Athens in early May - warm (but not too warm) and cool at night. Would come back to the Social in a heart beat ! Thanks for having us!!

"Great location and fantastic breakfast!"

2026-04-27

We loved this little hotel. We had a small suite with a balcony, very nice if the weather is good! The breakfast is really big and with dishes you don’t expect! Best breakfast in years! The hotel has an agreement (20% off) with the next door restaurant, with good food and nice personal. And the location! 20 min by foot and you are at Akropolis! 15 min to Plaka and a lot of very nice restaurants in the direct neighbourhood.

The reason to visit Athens was business but we combined with leisure, took my family with me and had the most incredible experience at the Social Athens. Highly recommend 👌
