Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Anthology of Athens, The Leading Hotels of the World appeals to museum-goers wanting close proximity to cultural sites. Key features include a rooftop pool facing the Acropolis, private balconies, and a comprehensive spa. Its high-traffic city centre surroundings and limited on-site parking represent minor inconveniences.
Guests score it 9.2 out of 10 — the average across the 7 hotels we list in Athens is 9.3.
What Guests Loved
- The rooftop pool area provides a clear line of sight to the Parthenon. This elevated space serves as a quiet retreat from the urban energy of Athens, complemented by a sun terrace suitable for evening refreshments.
- Situated within a brief walk of the Acropolis Museum, the hotel offers direct access to the city's archaeological heart. This central location allows guests to visit major historical sites before the peak tourist hours arrive.
Things to Consider
- Being located in the heart of Athens means the surrounding streets are consistently busy throughout the day. While internal soundproofing is effective, guests will encounter the typical bustle and noise of a Mediterranean capital immediately upon exiting.
- The dense urban setting limits the availability of on-site parking for those traveling with private vehicles. Guests arriving by car are advised to coordinate with the concierge for nearby valet options or utilize the hotel's shuttle service.

What guests say
Reviews from Google“We had the most wonderful stay at Anthology 77, and so much of that was thanks to the incredible hospitality of the staff, especially Modesto at the front desk. He was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make our anniversary feel special. He was so thoughtful, warm, and attentive, and his recommendations for restaurants and places with the best atmosphere were spot on. You could genuinely tell that he cared about making our experience memorable. The entire staff was wonderful and incredibly accommodating from start to finish. Our room was absolutely gorgeous, beautifully designed, comfortable, and such a lovely place to come home to after exploring Athens. Anthology 77 is truly a special hotel, but it’s the people, especially Modesto, who make the experience unforgettable. We would absolutely stay here again!”
“A lovely hotel right in the center of Plaka. We stayed as a family of four in a family suite and were shocked by the generous size of the connecting rooms for a European hotel. The rooms were beautiful, comfortable and clean. Welcome treats on arrival were a nice touch. The location is central to walking to see all of the sites and a short walk from the Parthenon.The staff was friendly and helpful. We didn’t dine in the restaurant although we wish we had tried it. We did stop in for after dinner drinks and dessert and the setting was lovely with live music.”
“From the start to finish, our stay at Antopology was incredible. Eirini and Niko greeted us and went over and beyond to make our stay amazing. Eirini recommended Mani Mani restaurant which superseded our expectations. We also enjoyed the rooftop terrace in the evening with live cello performance where Vivian happily served us and Maria made the amazing cocktails. The hotel had direct views of the Acropolis. I definitely look forward for our next visit.”
“We just got back from our stay and Anthology of Athens and I wanted to write a review while the stay was fresh in my mind. The hotel is in a very central location to several historic sites as well as restaurants, shops, etc and easy to find your way back to the hotel - the face of the hotel is right across the street from the Temple of Zeus (amazing). We booked the hotel not only for its sustainability ethos but because of its charming location and hotel design - it did not disappoint. We booked the executive rooms with a view of the Temple of Zeus - the room is virtually soundproof so we had zero issues with noise at night. The breakfast is broad - you order off the menu and can enjoy a daily continental buffet that is self- serve. Fresh juices and cappuccino every day made it hard to come back to reality. We also had dinner there and really enjoyed the menu and the incredible view of the Acropolis while the sun set. The hotel is not large - maybe 5-6 rooms across 5 floors - which provides a rare intimate, familiar experience. The hotel staff - from the restaurant to the reception to the valet were just the nicest and most accommodating - anything you needed they were there to help you. A special thank you to Angeliki who checked in on us throughout our stay - we really appreciated you! 10/10, can't wait to come back. Photo is view of the Acropolis from rooftop restaurant.”
“This is an exceptionally nice hotel. Central Athens location with views from the restaurant of the Temple of Zeus on one side and the Acropolis on the other. Both a five minute walk away. The room was very nice, well equipped and very clean. The food was of a high standard. Best of the lot....the staff! Outstanding service and friendliness from every one of them, thank you. Highly recommended.”
