Offering a restaurant, the comfortable Niche Hotel Athens lies in the shopping Neos Kosmos district, just 14 minutes' walk from the dazzling Acropolis Museum and merely 1.4 km from the ancient Stoa of Attalos. Situated within reach of the ruined Temple of Olympian Zeus and overlooking the city, the 4-star smoke-free hotel offers a Turkish steam bath and a hot tub.

Location

This Athens hotel has a central setting approximately 15 minutes on foot from Church of Kapnikarea, while natural sights like the public park "National Garden" are 800 metres away. Places of worship to visit not far from the Niche Athens include the ancient Greek Temple of Athena Nike.

Guests will also appreciate the vicinity to Filopappou Hill, located a mere 0.7 km away. The property is only 400 metres from Museum of Greek Folk Musical Instruments, while Akropoli tube station lies about a 5-minute walk away.

The Niche is within a few blocks of Monastiraki railway station.

Rooms

The air-conditioned rooms comprise a terrace and a living room featuring a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and Wi-Fi along with air conditioning and soundproof walls. Also, there is an individual safe, coffee/tea making facilities and free minibar items provided. The modern bathrooms are fitted with a walk-in shower and a separate toilet as well as a hairdryer and dressing gowns.

Eat & Drink

The rooftop bar of Niche Hotel Athens offers relaxing drinks. Situated nearly a 5-minute ride from the hotel, the seafood restaurant Arcadia Restaurant offers a Mediterranean menu.

“What stands out is the level of personalized service, especially given the address so close to the Acropolis and Plaka. I'm impressed by the Coco-Mat bedding and pillow menu, not to mention the rooftop bar with its Parthenon view. Its smaller size allows for a more attentive experience, ideal for travelers seeking both convenience and a tailored stay.”

mixed feelings about this place

bathroom separation unfuctional room

the rooftop restaurant gave a great view from above.

My rooms bathroom had no proper separation. It felt a bit weird. also the room's design lacked functionality, if all you need is a place to sleep, it is all good but not for much else. the room was not worth the money.
