While overwhelmingly positive, some recurring criticisms include rooms being perceived as small or noisy, particularly for those not on higher floors. Bathrooms, while modern, can also be small. A few guests have mentioned issues like unventilated bathrooms, broken light fixtures, or maid service not consistently changing sheets or replacing cups unless requested. Additionally, one review noted the absence of in-room coffee or tea making facilities. Some guests also found the perceived views of the Acropolis from the rooftop to be slightly exaggerated, although the overall rooftop experience is still highly valued.

The room may be small, but the design is fresh, bold, and thoughtfully laid out — just like the rest of the hotel. Everything here feels modern and vibrant, perfectly capturing the city’s energy. Don’t compare the building size or layout to U.S. standards; this is Athens, and it’s all part of the charm! The rooftop lounge and restaurant were a highlight — the food was delicious, and the view made ...

We stayed for one night before catching our return flight back to the US and wished we would’ve stayed longer! The location was great, the rooftop restaurant was large with stunning views and delicious food, and the hotel was decorated in such a lovely unique way! The rooms were a bit small but to be expected. No complaints!

I’m a frequent traveler with Platinum+ status on both Marriott and Hilton. I stayed at Fresh hotel with my family for vacation and I’d like to share my experience with her travelers: (1) Very long checkin: I’ve reserved 2 fully pre-paid rooms.

Checked in no reservation on the at 1 am. Great service by Rolland at the front desk gave us a free upgrade. Fresh Hotel takes details of the little things like great breakfast, helping us call a cab for the airport, and great rooftop patio and pool. Also in the Marriott Bonvoy program!

Standard rooms were a little on the small size for 2 people. There was not much room to walk across to the other side of the bed. The bathroom was compact but modern and the daily housekeeping was welcome. Their lift system is a bit strange. The staff in the lobby and breakfast room were very helpful and lovely and the rooftop pool and bar were wonderful on a hot day.
