The Alex Monte Kastella, Santikos Collection

Perfect position over the harbour. Rooftop restaurant a definite plus for breakfast in the mornings.Pleasant staff, comfortable room,modern bathroom facilities. Hotel on a main bus route to the main port facility of Piraeus & ferries to all the Greek islands as well as a 20 minute walk to the subway station to central Athens. 10 minute walk to a selection of local eateries.

When we arrived the front desk staff were immediately out taking our luggage, and offering us coffee while we checked in. We had arrived early due to disembarking our cruise early, but they were so very accommodating and gave us an early check in for which we most grateful. We had booked a superior queen with sea views. It was a corner room so we had 2 windows so double aspect sea views over the marina and beyond - even the Acropolis was in this view. The decor was lovely and we had a large balcony. We had dinner on the first night - great choice, fresh ingredients, well prepared and served. Stunning evening views. Breakfast was excellent - again great choice, fresh ingredients, exceptional views from the rooftop terrace, great service. All the staff were so kind, helpful, professional, well turned out and friendly. We had a 2-night stay and got out and about into Athens centre very easily using the Metro which was about a 10 minute walk away at Neo Faliro. Best stop to get off is Thiseio and follow the road to the right which brings you straight up to the Acropolis. If we ever return to Athens, The Alex would be our first choice.

The staff were so very accommodating and nice. We were met at the curb, directed to secure parking, welcomed with water, and told where to collect our welcome drink on the restaurant/terrace level. The room was a wee bit tight, but the terrace and the kickass shower made up for the tight space. Seriously an excellent shower!! Also the 24hr coffee and tea station fortified us for the early morning ferry transfer. The staff offered a take away breakfast since we didn't have time to eat. A lovely experience from start to finish. Thank you. The restaurant was also lovely with good food and a great view.

Friendly staff and exceptional services - if I had questions they always assisted and made effort to understand the request or assistance needed. I love the location and could explore the area more this time. The food and restaurant on the top floor is for me the selling point - yet again satisfied above my expectations. They did the extra effort to assist me to have a room for my late check out due to late flight out of Athens - thank you for providing it for me. Had a bit of cigarette smoke coming into my room from the room next door and informed the team about it - they immediately attended to it and was open to even move me to another room.

Location was good for the Port. Very clean and well decorated. Staff were very helpful, particularly on the reception. Access to a roof top restaurant was useful and views of Athens were good. Safe and fridge in the room is useful. Good size shower with very nice stone walls and fittings. Towelling robes and slippers provided.
