We initially stayed 1 night at the Athens Flair before returning after an island visit, for a 6 night stay. For the 1st night we booked the Superior suite and were allocated room 1. A large room with separate sitting/ dressing /minibar area but no formal bathroom. Instead a sink and a huge walk in shower- within the room and a separate toilet, which was little more than a cupboard. The bed was comfy, however, we also experienced some noise from the bars below on a Friday night. For our 2nd stay we were lucky enough to be in the Signature Suite, room 6, another floor up and at the quieter back of the hotel. This room was a large all-in-one area and more importantly, a large separate bathroom. This room also benefitted from a huge outside secluded terrace with hottub. The staff, Irene, Antonis and Manager Lia could not do enough for us and were so friendly. A lovely breakfast with fresh OJ was served either in the room or on the rooftop terrace adjacent to our room. You need to order the night before and there was a good choice. The historic building has been beautifully refurbished but be aware that there are stairs, 32 to reception and the same again if you are on the next level, but help with bags is available. The area itself is relatively quiet and a 12 minute brisk walk gets you to Syntagma Square, the shops and the start of the historic area. You will, however, find restaurants, coffee shops, and ice cream within a few minutes' walk. We were made to feel very welcome and really enjoyed our time there. We made a couple of suggestions for the room, such as additional lighting, a mirror, and a requirement for some drawer space, and the staff were keen to address this with the owners. We would definitely recommend the Athens Flair for a calm stay, away from the bustle of the main city and with a personal touch that we appreciated.
