Lovely hotel that feels very honey with a nice old-world feel. The staff are all great. The breakfast is basic, but it’s exactly what I need. I’ve stayed many times and will of course stay here again anytime I’m in Athens.

Good value for money double rooms good size with balcony fridge decent size toilet and shower. Promenade location in the center if everything. Good hot and cold breakfast selection. Would stay again and recommend. Major danger at this hotel incase of fire do not follow emergency exit signs they all lead to chained and locked fire exits with heavy security bars which could present a death trap in case of a emergency. In case of evacuation only use stairs leading to main reception

Its the greek version of a low to average american motel. Clean, well placed and the staff are polite. Dont expect any greek xtras either in gifts or help. Well placed for major attraction and with ok soundproofing. Free breakfast but dont expect anythimg amazing i mostly stopped by the bakery next door instead. Many other restaurants close and subway tour bus area.

Great location and hard working staff. But the hotel is too old and has bed bugs, which ruin my vacation. I could not sleep even after the staff changed my room. The staff said my bites are possible mosquito. I saw one bedbug and couldn’t get it. When I got the airport, people saw my big bites and asked if I got bedbugs bites. I said yes. The dysfunctional door lock of the rooms needs to be replaced. It took while to open which got me sweat. It is nothing wrong with the hard working staff, it is just too old and need update.

Location is excellent - minutes from Monastiraki square, Acropolis is about 15 min, and shops, restaurants, grocery store all walkable. The hotel is a bit old (bathroom missing a doorknob).. The breakfast is healthy, filling and tasty: bread, boiled eggs, yogourt honey, jams, juice, cereal. AC worked well though in a joined room (there were 4 if us) it meant one room was a bit cold, the other a bit warm. Overall, you pay for what you get.

Let me say that for what this hotel is, it is great. Yes, it is an old building in an area of Athens that is just a little gritty. However, everything was functional and clean, the staff was helpful, the breakfast was great, there are excellent restaurants in the Psirri district behind the hotel, I never felt unsafe, and you are a very short walk from the Acropolis and Plaka. If you're on a budget and want to stay where the action is, the Cecil is a great choice.

A useful hotel in a good location.
The Cecil was recommended to us by a friend who stays there for a few days every year. It was very conveniently located and it fitted the bill for us. It's an unpretentious, unfussy place with no frills or fancies. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were fairly basic but plentiful. The rooms were cleaned daily (except Sunday) and towels changed as required. There is a lift to all floors. Our beds were comfortable. We overlooked the side street which was, I suspect, quiter than being at the front of the building. I would stay there again.
