10. Your Home at Acropolis Museum

Athens City Centre

"The location is great for visiting the Acropolis; it's about a 10 minute walk and even shorter for the museum. There are plenty of restaurants and vendors in the vicinity. We took advantage of the balcony by having a glass of wine and watching the night unfold. There are two AC units, so whether you're sleeping or relaxing on the couch, you're comfortable. The bed was comfortable and there were extra blanket. Our host was very gratious in her communications with me. But do yourself a favor...

Athens Gate Hotel

Athens City Centre

10/10 Excellent

I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience here was. My adult son has restricted mobility and the staff were so helpful. From reserving a parking spot in front which is not usually possible to helping us in and out of the hotel every time. Nothing was too much trouble. The location is great for all the central sites via a pedestrian walkway to the Acropolis etc. 20 minute walk with wheelchair. Our room with a view over the Temple of Zeus was lovely. Restaurant views of the Acropolis...

Dioskouros Hostel

Athens City Centre

10/10 Excellent

We stayed in a family room with 5 beds and found it very spacious and clean. It had hanging space and air conditioning and the shower and toilet facilities were just opposite the room. We never had to wait to use the bathroom facilities. The place felt quiet and well looked after. Any questions I had before my stay were responded to quickly. Overall we were very impressed and found the location great. Breakfast was adequate too so for a reasonably priced stay in Athens this is an excellent...

Retroverse Eccentric Stay

Athens City Centre

8/10 Good

I got a private room to myself and it was really big and spacious, especially with the bathroom. However, the water from the shower goes everywhere and doesn’t drain well. If you leave it overnight it mostly does. I liked the retro arcades available and is within walking distance of plaka and pysri which are the main hubs. There is a bbq place opposite which is cheap and good food if you need something to eat. They came to clean the rooms but not sure what they did as the towels were not...

A modern living room with a sofa, ottoman, and coffee table, a wall-mounted shelf with decorative items, and a window with sheer curtains.

Olympus Residence

Athens City Centre

10/10 Excellent

Fantastic find. We had everything we needed for our stay with our 14 year old son. We had reservations about the area and the walk into the centre of Athens but we shouldn't have worried. The walk through the park to the historical centre is a lovely way to start/end the day. If you don't fancy the walk, why leave the area. Definitely stay close to the residence for dinner and/or an evening drink. It's much cheaper than the centre, and the food and drink options are so much better. Big shout...

This is, without a doubt, one of the loveliest hotels I have ever stayed in. Completely refurbished, first impressions are good as you enter a beautiful tiled hallway. The staff were kind, considerate and welcoming. The genuinely wanted you to have the best stay possible. The decoration is stunning, with each floor opening out to co-ordinating tiles and paintwork. We were in a twin room, which was lovely. The quality of the furniture and bedding was high, and the bathroom was stunning! Loved the...

Staff at Mosaikon hostel were very welcoming and helpful, they allowed me to store my luggage at the hostel a few days in advance whilst I traveled out of Athens. They were also really welcoming and gave me lots of suggestions of what to do / where to eat. The hostel is modern and very clean, however, I was in my dorm when housekeeping came. I noticed she did not replace the sheets of the people that had checked out and just tucked them in and folded the blanket provided. Aside from that,...
