My husband and I stayed in Athens for a couple nights last August 2011, and I wanted a place within walking distance to the Acropolis and the Plaka, but for a reasonable price. We got what I hoped for and more at Hotel Tony. This was our first visit to Athens, so we were rather confused by the streets. We drove around in circles a few times having a hard time finding the hotel, so eventual my husband parked the car and I got out to hopefully find it on foot. I turned the corner and Tony was standing outside his hotel, and it great English he asked, "are you looking for Hotel Tony?" I'm really glad he was there to greet us!

The hotel is hidden a bit amongst the apartments in the area, but I found it to be a really nice, safe neighbourhood. A couple other hotels in the area, but mostly residential. But be warned, don't ever leave ANYTHING in your car in Athens, in any neighbourhood! We were with a group with three cars and we decided to visit the acropolis, but all of our luggage was in the cars. One of the cars was broken into and everything except for a towel was stolen. This is in a really nice residential area close to the acropolis. From what I hear, this happens in any part of Athens. Just be aware of it.

The hotel itself was really nice, clean, and modern. There was also air conditioning, which was much needed in August! We also had our own private (big) balcony where we sat at the cute bistro table and ate breakfast. I loved the marble stairway up to the rooms. There is also a small elevator for carrying luggage up and down. Tony's son was really helpful and brought all of our luggage to our room for us. All with a big smile. Bonus: this was one of the few places we could flush toilet paper in Greece! ha ha

If we are ever in Athens, we will definitely be staying at Hotel Tony again. Highly recommend it!

This hotel was one the best hotels we have ever stayed in. The room was big, comfortable and cozy. Location is great and is the reason we picked it. I would say a 5 minute walk to the metro. Tony is the best host and the driver that picked us up from the airport was a very nice and friendly guy. He gave a little tour as we made our way to the hotel. Only complaint (if I have to say it) was that the bathroom door was a little loud, it was hard to shut. That's it! The hotel offers free wifi and it actually works (some hotel wifi doesn't work no matter what you do). Would go back to this hotel for sure.

My husband and I chose Hotel Tony based on reviews from Rick Steves. The rooms were clean, within walking distance of all the major sites, and reasonably priced. The owner Tony was very friendly and helpful.

Located in a safe part of town, the neighborhood is on the side hill leading up to Filopappou Hill. The staff here is very good in person. The owner, Tony and his son are very helpful and run a very nice little hotel. It is about a 7 min walk from the Metro Station Syngrou-Fix (http://www.ametro.gr/) so it was very convenient to get around the city. You can walk about 10 min. east and be at the entrance to the Acropolis. I loved the location and my room.

My Rick Steves guide recommended this hotel. The hotel room was clean, had a sink, microwave, refrigerator, tile bathroom, wireless internet (that worked). The cool part was being able to store and warm up leftovers in my room! I asked Tony how he could keep his prices so reasonable and he folded his hands behind his back and with a little bow said "all you get in the big fancy hotels is a man at the door standing like this to greet you when you walk into a big fancy lobby. I don't do that here!" I laughed hard at this one. He is right, you don't get that here but you do get a very good room.

All in all, a very good spot and a very good space. I would recommend it to others without hesitation.
