My wife and I stayed at Esse hotel in the Plaka neighborhood for 3 days/2nights during the 1st part of our trip to Greece. It is a small hotel with a small lobby and tiny elevator but the service here is tremendous! If you are looking for a boutique hotel experience, this will not disappoint. The room itself is not big but it is well designed with luxurious features and thoughtful touches. Everything worked perfectly from the motorized blinds to excellent hot water and strong water pressure. Our room had a nice private balcony with an adjustable heat hot tub that is kept warm and has terrific view of the Acropolis. The neighborhood is very walkable to nearby attractions and their included breakfast is at an amazing restaurant around the corner. Highly recommend Esse for great accommodations in Athens.

During our stay at Esse Athens, we had one of the most memorable hospitality experiences in Greece. This is much more than just a hotel—it’s a place where exceptional service meets genuine warmth. From the moment we arrived, the front desk staff welcomed us with unparalleled kindness and professionalism. Every question, whether about local recommendations or small requests, was met with enthusiasm and care. Conversations with them were such a joy; we found ourselves chatting about everything from Athens' rich history to hidden gems in the city. It’s clear their attentiveness is a reflection of their incredible manager, Fay, who has clearly instilled a sense of pride and dedication in her team. The cleaning staff were equally outstanding, ensuring our room was immaculate every single day. They went above and beyond to create a cozy and comfortable environment for us. The breakfast deserves a special mention. It was nothing short of remarkable. With a delightful variety of fresh, flavorful options, it set the perfect tone for our mornings. We wholeheartedly recommend indulging in the breakfast—it’s a standout feature of the hotel. What sets Esse Athens apart is its people. The staff are the heart and soul of this hotel, and they transform a stay into an experience. If you're seeking a place where genuine care, meaningful conversations, and personalized service are the highlights, Esse Athens is the perfect choice. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Every single person that works here was very helpful, kind and hospitable. It was like making a friend not just someone doing a job. Very clean and comfortable property. Very accessible to tourist attractions and lots of shopping and dining options. Unsure what to do they will help set you up with all you need.

The hotel is situated in a lovely scenic spot where the back of the acropolis can be seen. Walking distance to and from the centre is great. Staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Hopefully this place is completed soon so that breakfast, dinner etc can be enjoyed on site. Will definitely recommend

Terrible service I will not return
Booked and specified two beds. They acknowledged “Warm greetings from Esse Athens. Kindly note that you are assigned to a room with two beds. The Front Desk Team” They only had one bed one arrival not two. So they moved us to another room that still only had one bed! Refused to give a good rate on an open room so I left my friend there and found a different hotel for the second bed. Absolutely ridiculous poor service.

The location of the hotel is fantastic. The hotel itself has been only open for a short period of time. The room and the bathroom updated and modern. Fay the hotel manager and staff were incredibly helpful and helping us make accommodations for future travel. She was very attentive and went over beyond in service. I would highly recommend this hotel and we will come back!

Amazing. Stayed here Sept, 2024. Great location, walking distance to Acropolis and other monuments. Friendly staff, best customer service, went extra miles to make sure everything went well, even got breakfast at night since we were leaving early next morning. Included great breakfast at restaurant next door. Well kept rooms. Unique shower stall with 2 sets of showers & a electrically heated towel warmer.

The Esse has only been open for a couple of weeks and as such does not yet have a restaurant or bar. They still need to do some modifications so the shower doesn’t leak water unto the bathroom floor. The staff was friendly and helpful. The property is well located in the Plaka so there are plenty of shops and restaurants all around. Would definitely stay again.
