    Just what Athens needed, style and soul Just what Athens needed. This hotel has character and charm for days. The design is incredible and the details are very thoughtful. We traveled with our teenage son, and our room had a twin fold down bed that was perfect. We enjoyed a movie on the rooftop on a gorgeous evening in the Spring. I can imagine that on a game day how much fun it would be while still feeling intimate. We loved the small grab and go snacks and I enjoyed my coffee in the lobby area with relaxing music playing. Can't wait to come back!

    We can't say enough good things about The Bell. The proprietor, Neil, was both helpful and affable. Our room was on the first floor facing the street but was quiet and light-filled. Snacks and drinks were available in the room, in the welcoming lounge and on the roof terrace (which is a lovely place for an evening gathering). The Bell is well located, easy to find, and near great restaurants. And the private parking is right behind the hotel. We felt right at home. We'll definitely stay there again.

    Wow..just wow! All I can say about this stay was that it was absolutely incredible. Starting from the very easy pre-check in process all the way to the gorgeous rooms, every detail of the Kasa was creative, innovative, and of course, stunning. Between the free iced protein coffee beverages and water in the room refrigerator (plus snacks, like protein bars and chocolate!) to a fully, and I mean fully stocked lobby area with complimentary snacks and more drink options than most restaurants have, you never have to travel far for a quick pick-me-up. Although, because of the central location, everything and anything is within a 3-10 minute walking distance! I also must give an honorable mention to the room decor. Upon walking in, you are greeting with bold and unique colors from top to bottom. After reading the booklet provided, you are informed about how each room is uniquely designed surrounding a famous artist! Since each room is special, it really made me want to come back to see all of the different variations and masterpieces! I won’t spoil all of the secrets.. however. There’s is much more to see for yourself!
