Divani Caravel Hotel

We were very hqppy with our stay in this hotel. Normally we prefer small, boutique style hotels but booked late and decided on this hotel as it had room with Acropolis view, availability, a roof pool and bar, plus it was in a safe area for evening excursions. We were very plesantly surprised and delighted with the staff experience. From the guy at reception who checked us in, to the lady who cleaned our room. the staff were all very friendly, warm and personal, We felt a warm local vibe from all those we encountered. Stefania at the breakfast buffet looked after us as though we were guests in her own home. She noticed the way I liked my coffee and arrived with it as soon as we appeared. I noticed she also attended every table in the same helpful and friendly manner. The concierge was young and very personable, helpful in every way. Found us a Wonerful guide to the Acropolis Liana, and the staff at the rooftop bar were also very friendly and helpful. The staff were the standout out positive of this hotel in every way. Having said that the room was also nice, comfortable, and everywhere clean. The lack of 5 stars was becauseof the hqirdryer provided, a small, but very frustrating thing. The mechanism awkward and difficult to use. Continuous pressing in of 2 buttons required to operate made styling while drying impossible for me anyway. Hairdryers are not expensive, a better one should be provided in a good hotel. 2 good restaurants around the corner, just beside National Gallery, and hop on/ off bus, not far to Metro, which is very efficient, and taxi fares reasonable throughout Athens area

From the moment we walked into the spa, we were greeted by the friendliest staff member who walked us through all the treatments and specials they offered, explaining each one in detail. They even let us mix and match treatments to tailor them perfectly to our needs. The treatment and massage itself was INCREDIBLE. It was so relaxing and was easily one of the best massages I have ever had. The environment sets the tone for relaxation from the moment you arrive. The locker rooms are clean and well kept, the robes cozy, and the sauna was a nice touch to relax before the massage. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Athens to pay the Hotel Divani spa a visit.

Would highly recommend this spa! The customer service was exceptional and Poppi helped us out! I got the most amazing massage from Xara and all the staff was incredible!!

We had a fantastic spa session! After a day of walking at the Acropolis, we were seeking relaxation. I booked a full-body massage with a body scrub for myself and a massage and facial for my mom. Our treatments were booked with the lovely spa manager, Efi. Traveling with my two kids, Efi kindly offered a complimentary chocolate kids spa treatment for them. Marie provided excellent service. I felt incredibly relaxed, and my skin was smooth afterward. My mom mentioned that her skin looked and felt great after her facial from Hara. The kids thoroughly enjoyed their chocolate treatment; they had a blast! Additionally, there is a sauna and a steam room available for use before or after the session. We all had a wonderful spa experience and highly recommend it during your stay!

Stayed at Divani for 4 nights in early September 2025. We believe the hotel to be a solid 4-star, but we were told upon checkout to pay the tourism fee of 15€ per night for a 5-star hotel, which was definitely not the case. The room was large and spacious, the view of Acropolis in the distance was an amazing experience, but there were multiple little details with the room itself that are not up to standards. - They only provided 2 small pillows upon check-in and I had to request more. Usually 5 star hotels provide extra pillows and blankets in the closet. - The bed was comfortable and firm, and we slept very well. However, the walls of the hotel are so very thin, we could hear the maid’s pager go off throughout the morning. - The washroom was large, but really outdated. There was no walk-in shower, instead a narrow tub from the 1990s, that was uncomfortable to stand in because of its design. - The water pressure of the shower was weak, and the hot water was not consistent. It went from cold, to burning hot (like almost burn yourself), to freezing cold again, which made taking showers really undesirable. - The AC was a built in unit, that you cannot see because hidden in the desk, but it worked very well. The room was very cool, and we had full control over it. - There are big windows that can open all the way up, if you prefer fresh air instead of AC. - There is 24hour room service provided, if needed. The hotel: - The staff are all very kind and helpful, and make the hospitality of this hotel. - There are spa and massage services provided on the rooftop floor. The prices seemed competitive. - There was also a gym, with everything you need to get a good workout in. Two saunas were also available from 8am to 8pm. - The roof has a swimming pool and bar, with a nice view of Athens and the Acropolis. Drinks were very overpriced, 22-28€ for a regular cocktail and 10€ for a draft beer. - There were 4-5 elevators and we never had any issues with waiting for one. - The hotel is located 8-10minutes away from a metro station, which is very easily walkable. Metro costs 1.20€ one way. It is 2 stops away from Plaka (center), and that took us 20mins total included walking from Divani. To walk it would take 30-40mins. - Parking was supposed to be included in this hotel, which is why we booked it, but upon arrival we were told it was an additional 35€ per night to park. So, we opted for street parking, which was not as difficult as we had been told. We easily found parking for the two nights we had a car. - The hotel has multiple conference rooms and seemed to be a business hotel. - The restaurants nearby are not that great, as it seemed to be more a quiet area. Breakfast was included in our room, and it was plentiful. An array of eggs, pastries, some vegetables and fruits, yogurts, nuts, even some Indian food that was made fresh everyday. The food was good, the waiters were kind and made any coffee you wanted. Overall, it was a decent hotel, with a good location away from all the action- if that’s what you are looking for. Is it a 5-star hotel? Not compared to other 5-stars around the world. Is it worth 400CAD$, or 250€ per night? Probably not, but when in Athens, if you need something relatively good, you book it.
