For a Greek hotel, it was pleasant. The staff at the rooftop restaurant was excellent. The swimming pool water was too cold for me and my daughter, so we didn’t get to enjoy that. It was too cold for the time of year. We were there in October. All in all, my stay was pleasant. I was there for 6 days.

Our stay at the Divani Caravel was perfect! the rooms was great, clean and comfortable. The staff at Divani Caravel, were without exception, polite, courteous, helpful and above all, outgoing in their efforts to makes sure our stay was excellent. The hostess in charge of the wait staff was absolutely amazing. We went to breakfast the first day and gave her our name and room number and from that moment on she called us by our names and never forgot our room number. Amazingly, she did this with seemingly everyone. She was by far the most efficient and helpful person we have ever met. We ran into a few challenges while in Athens and the folks at the Divani Caravel always came through with the help we needed. I absolutely will make Divani Caravel Bill Murdock

Everything in and around the hotel was great but the beds were so uncomfortable, I was upgraded to executive room, that was two single beds put together, you get one small pillow and two decoration pillows which you can't use, if they invest in better beds, this hotel will be great.

This hotel is very nice. We found it very easy to get to the Plaka by cab. It cost about 5 euros. We took the metro to this hotel from the airport and then to Piraeus port. It was about a 10-12 minute walk. The room was so spacious and clean and the rooftop pool and bar are amazing. We would definitely recommend.
