Hotel rooms and the Monastiraki location
A for Athens is at 2–4 Miaouli Street, directly beside Monastiraki Square and Metro. Its 35 contemporary rooms have modern bathrooms, designer furniture and free Wi-Fi; some rooms face the Acropolis. The operator identifies Wide View and Homy room types.
The central position is useful for Plaka and Psirri as well as metro travel. A hotel-room view and the rooftop’s view are separate choices. The retained room photograph illustrates accommodation, rather than the cocktail terrace.
Choose the actual rooftop food and drink service
The top-floor terrace overlooks the Acropolis, Plaka and Monastiraki Square. The restaurant uses Greek ingredients and a Greek-wine focus; its listed restaurant window is 16:00–00:00. Breakfast and brunch are separate services.
At night the cocktail bar offers its concept-led list alongside spirits, small Greek breweries and non-alcoholic choices. Request the bar or restaurant service you want and ask for a food pairing if useful. An accommodation reservation does not select a rooftop table.

Reserve the table and confirm its outlook
Use the operator’s distinct Book a Table route for the named rooftop, or the published property contact to confirm the date, service and seating. The homepage describes bar service into the early morning, but that does not establish a precise kitchen closing time.
Confirm any terrace preference, weather fallback, access needs and actual prices with the venue. Neither a general Acropolis outlook nor an available hotel room guarantees a particular outdoor table.

Planning questions
Does a hotel-room reservation select a rooftop table?
The operator has separate room and table booking routes. Choose the actual rooftop bar or restaurant date and seating rather than assuming a room reservation includes it.
Does the restaurant timetable cover the whole cocktail night?
No. The operator lists 16:00–00:00 for restaurant service and describes the cocktail bar separately at night. Confirm the actual food and drink service for your visit.
