Gaia Athens

Perfect! The hotel is perfectly located and close to everything. Perfect for the evening as well if you want to taste a restaurant not far from the hotel. Very very comfortable and well cleaned. Lidia and Adams from the reception were so nice and professional. The breakfast is home made by lovely ladies who welcome you every morning. I highly recommend this hotel

The GAIA team led by Alex have only one thing in mind - providing all guests with an extraordinarily pleasurable and memorable experience. They go over and beyond the basis to achieve the super exceptional in guests satisfaction and delight. We were treated with profound warmth, dedicated, and devoted service. The communication was effective, prompt, and precise. The location is central to most historical locations and the city center. There are great restaurants within 5 minutes’ walk of the hotel. We could not have had it better, simply excellent.

Great Small hotel just a 1 minute walk away from all the shops bars and restaurants. Owner clearly takes pride in his business and makes sure everything you need is taken care of. No space for socialising in the hotel outside of your room, but everything you need is just outside your door. We had a balcony and watched the world go by with a drink. Rooms were quiet, have air conditioning, good WiFi and a basic kitchen with fridge should you need to cook something (but why would you)

What a wonderful place to stay as a family with older kids! The location for our 4 night stay was absolutely perfect. A short walk to archaeological sites, including the Acropolis, and to both Monastiraki and Thissio metro stations. But that's just the beginning....the Psyrri district's cafes and bars (10 metres round the corner) were friendly, buzzy, pleasant, cool, edgy and welcoming all in one. Wherever we started our evening, we always ended up back there for a beer, wine, cocktail, ice cream or waffle. Just a great place to hang out. Finally, the hosts at Gaia couldn't have been more helpful, giving us advice each morning on the best ways to see their incredible city, especially the sunset on Filipappou Hill and a few pointers on where the best street art was (pics shown all within 2 mins walk!). Thank you everyone at Gaia! We'll be back. PS. So helpful when we discovered (while sitting on a ferry at Piraeus) that a pair of iPods had been left behind. They posted them within to our next destination within an hour without question. Sums the experience up really, they couldn't do enough for their guests. Superb friendly helpful service.

Second stay at the Gaia. While it might not have all the bells and whistles of 4/5 star hotels, the couple who own and run it are doing an amazing job. Very clean rooms on both occasions. The breakfast is simple/European but with nice touches like fresh homemade sweet pastries. Perfectly located for easy access to all the key sites in central Athens and close to the bustling and delightful restaurant areas, the Gaia makes a good choice for those on a budget.

A great place to stay, breakfast is amazing, it is very well located near many Touristic places, restaurants and shops. Amazing staff!!! The rooms are clean and neat, we didn’t have the opportunity to have dinner there but I wish we could have done it. Highly recommended!!!

Wonderful small, family hosted hotel in Psiri area. The staff is wonderful. The hotel is very clean. Walls are soundproof, so the lively nightlife of Psiri does not disturb. Just a couple of minutes by foot to the Monastiraki square and metro station. The breakfast was a good start to the day. The two bedrooms apar**ent was big enough. The hotel is very recommendable for a private cityholiday in Athens.

Must be the best breakfast in Athens! Definitely the best I have had :-) We hadn't realised that we got breakfast and it was delicious! Homemade (even the jams!), plentiful, Greek specialties and served with a smile! Lovely apar**ent with a balcony. Clean with a kitchenette L.ocation excellent, near all the sites but on a quiet street. Lots of restaurants nearby. Friendly staff; family run. We would thoroughly recommend!

Mind you that you won’t get modern luxury accommodations here but the place is clean and have everything that you need. The reason for the stellar rating is the staff and location. IMHO, Psyri is where you want to be and Gaia is steps away from all the restaurants and bars. The other reason is the staff. Incredibly helpful and friendly. They gave us great recommendations and one offered to walk us down the street to point out a couple of hot spots. Highly recommend this place.
