Not Hotel sits on Voutadon Street in Metaxourgeio, a pocket of central Athens known for its mix of neoclassical facades, contemporary galleries, and a slower pace than the tourist-heavy streets around the Acropolis. Guests choose it for a stripped-back, design-forward take on hospitality that trades hotel-chain formality for something closer to staying in a well-curated private residence.
Rooms lean on raw materials — exposed concrete, wood, stone — paired with industrial-era details that nod to Metaxourgeio’s past as a textile manufacturing district. The 4.8 rating reflects a pattern in guest feedback: attentive, low-key staff, quiet interior courtyards, and a breakfast spread built around Greek staples like thick yogurt, local honey, and seasonal fruit rather than a sprawling buffet. The neighborhood itself does a lot of the work — small tavernas, independent coffee roasters, and artist studios fill the surrounding blocks, giving visitors a version of Athens that feels lived-in rather than staged for tourism.
