I have just returned from a business trip in Athens and I stayed at the AVA Hotel. The Hotel has an excellent location and the service is personalised. On a walking distance from downtown Athens and fro the business center. Also well located if you need to go to Piraeus and close to the metro station.
It is not a big Hotel, so it is quiet and has a devoted personel, which makes your business stay very enjoyable.

This hotel is WONDERFUL! Wish we had booked this hotel for more than one night! It was my 30th birthday and they surprised us with complimentary champagne. We were tired from travelling and just wanted something quick to eat. The lady at the front desk ordered us a pizza and it was delicious! The room is great, the most comfortable bed we slept on our whole trip! An actual KING sized bed, not two beds pushed together as is common in Greece. Great little kitchenette, very modern room and bathroom. Wonderful stay, wish we could've stayed longer!

We had a standard apartment for two nights (Room 303). It was a reasonable size, with a small kitchenette and free tea & coffee making facilities. The room had a tiny balcony, and overlooked the rear courtyard, so it was quiet. Room was clean, and they provided disposable slippers, and a mending kit in addition to the usual bathroom toiletries. Hairdryer in bathroom and another in room. An iron and ironing board supplied on request. TV had CNN, BBC, and local channels. Minibar prices were reasonable, but in any case there is a kiosk very close by if you want to save a few dollars. Laundry service available Monday to Friday. Typical charge 6 euros for a blouse, 2 euros for undies or socks. Useful information in room about local restaurants. (We tried Byzantino and Skholiarhio. Byzantino is mentioned in many guidebooks, but we thought it was pretty ordinary, and quite rushed. Preferred Skholiarhio which is a little away from the Plaza frenzy. They bring trays of mezedhes and you choose the dishes you would like. Very cheap. We paid 24 euros for a pleasant meal, including house wine and bottled water.)
Breakfast at AVA had a good selection, and we particularly liked the fact that you could squeeze your own orange juice. Free internet access in lobby. Staff were friendly and very attentive.
Location is excellent, you are very close to the exciement of the Plaka, but in a quiet street away from the tourist shops and touts. Not far from a subway stop either.
We would definitely stay here again. Maybe next time we would spring for the room with a view.

Once again, Trip Advisor helped us find a great hotel. The hotel was so highly rated, it was hard to believe.

The room was very large, with a little kitchen and very clean. The front desk personal were very friendly and helpful with tourist type questions.

The breakfast was very good with a nice setting in the lobby of the hotel.

The location was great being just on the edge of the Plaka and walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. And you can see the Acropolis and walk to it and the other nearby historic sights.

The price was fairly expensive but many comparable hotels were even more expensive. The location and nice room made it very worth it. We would definitely stay here again.

Enjoy,
