Reviews of Urban Tales
Anati Keinan
Best value for an urban stay in Athens! This small hotel is in the heart of Psiri but it’s so quiet and comfortable! Around are many restaurants and bars, and we could dine at midnight due to our late arrival. Beds are very comfortable and everything is so clean and quiet - very good sound proof! Easy to check-in with an App, any time you arrive. Highly recommended!!!!

Not much, but it may pert...

It was simply amazing. The location could hardly be better, and the room was beautifully designed with everything you could need. The balcony was also very cosy. Check-in was super easy, and I received an access code via an app. When I had trouble turning on the air conditioning, the host replied and helped me within a minute. Absolutely recommendable.
Lucy Almberg
Location was excellent. Communication about checkin/checkout was perfect and also got recommendations on where to eat. Was clean and able to request anything we needed. Would highly recommend!
