Have you ever wished to stay in a hotel where it would feel like entering a typical old Athenian house? Because this is the feeling that Astikon House exudes. Accomodated in a neoclassical building with comfortable and high-ceilinged rooms, it looks like it has stepped out of the frame of a film dated to the interwar period. But it is not only the building that predisposes to feel in such a way. It is also the emphasis on detail that has been given to everything that adorns this space.

INSIDER TIP
When someone is visiting the ásti (i.e. the city, in ancient Greek), he is certainly in need of someone/something related to ásti. Therefore, what could be considered more suitable than Astikon House (astikos meaning he who belongs to or refers to the city, civic, urban)? With that in mind, we certainly recommend this wanna-feel-like-your-house accomodation, situated in the centre of the Athens! This would be an undisputed fit to sophisticated couples that want to find the city's heartbeat. Nevertheless, it would also suit solo cosmopolitans that seek out the epicentre of action. Don't miss it!
