Location on the Athens Map

The Cecil is housed in a neoclassical building of the early 20th century. Located on one of the busiest commercial streets of Athens and only a few minutes on foot from Omonia square and the metro, it offers a good standard of accommodation in a pleasant environment, and a well renovated building (completed 2003). It has 40 rooms, all with private facilities (shower/W.C), A/C, TV -set, and direct-dial phone. Four of the rooms are on the terrace (one must climb one flight of stairs and walk out into the terrace before entering the room) but these four share the terrace that has a splendid view of the Acropolis. The furnishing is new (all twin-bedded) and smart. Triple rooms are with 3 regular beds but if unavailable, a folding bed is added to the standard double room. Single rooms have one double bed (slightly smaller than the standard size). There are also family rooms with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, where the 4th bed is a small folding bed (appropriate only for a child). There is a very small reception desk and a breakfast room. One of the prettiest features of the hotel is the iron elevator that is fully functional and has a brand new mechanism. Facilities: roof garden, fax services, daily cleaning services, luggage storage.

After a thorough renovation, the Aphrodite reopened in 2003 with a new appearance and name but still in the same very convenient location, in Plaka and a short walking distance to the Acropolis, Syntagma square and all interesting sights in Athens. There are 84 fully refurbished rooms, all with en suite bathroom (shower or bathtub, hair dryer, toiletries), A/C, mini fridge, satellite TV, safe deposit box, direct dial phone, and Internet access. About half of the rooms are facing Apollonos Street and have a comfortable balcony with sitting facilities (superior & superior plus). Another 35 rooms are facing the Acropolis, the Plaka and a charming Byzantine chapel, but do not have a balcony. There are also interior rooms that have only a window facing the skylight (regular). These rooms, however, are just as pleasant, with sufficient light and some are much bigger than the standard outside rooms. There are only 3 triple rooms (standard), where the 3rd bed is a sofa, and 6 family rooms, consisting of two interconnecting doubles (one with twin beds, outside room and one with double bed, interior room). Public areas: reception, breakfast room (buffet continental) and lounge with bar for the evening hours, roof garden with splendid view of the Acropolis, 4 well equipped meeting rooms for up to 60 people, private parking space for 15 cars (free of charge for the guests of the hotel). The overall atmosphere is very pleasant, with comfortable and modern Italian furniture in light colours, large mirrors that enhance the size of the rooms, glass surfaces that allow the light to diffuse and ample artificial lighting.
