Athens Choice is suitable for a quick, budget-friendly stay if you’re not expecting much beyond the basics. The location is definitely the highlight, close to hop-on/hop-off bus stops and surrounded by plenty of great food options.The staff were genuinely kind and extremely welcoming, which was a refreshing touch and one of the better aspects of our stay. Unfortunately, the breakfast didn’t live up to the hype in other reviews. It was served cold, and the boiled eggs looked like they’d been made the day before. We ended up grabbing something nearby in the square. Overall, if you're just passing through and prioritize location over comfort, it does the job. But don’t come expecting a full 3-star experience.

Great value for money, the staff kind and professional. Close to all the attractions (20 min calm walk from the Acropolis). Bad point is the neighborhood, some homeless drunk that are screaming till late hours, but this it's not the hotel fault.

The hotel is very clean and the staff is wonderful. Breakfast is nice. The hotel is located very close to the metro and good restaurants a 5 minutes walk. The metro takes you to Acropolis/Parthenon and Greek people are very nice. The only thing is the area around the hotel is full of graffiti and it’s dirty but all Athens is like that. We saw 5 star hotels areas the same. However, police headquarters is 200 meters from the hotel. We were told homeless people never bother anyone and the area is safe. We felt safe all the time even walking at night.

The hotel is very good for the price. Rooms are clean, staff are helpful and friendly. Breakfast is good. But the location is not so good. It’s conveniently located near a metro stop. But the area is extremely run down, with drug addicts and homeless people everywhere.

Most of the staff were great. The hotel is situated in a bit of a challenging area, but like in most places, the druggies keep to themselves. The situation was much better than I had imagined. Good value.

Omonia is a Dirty, Run-down area!!

The Dirty, Run-Down area full of Homeless people and Hookers ruins this Hotel’s location!! Room is small but adequate for an overnight stay. I’d skip this area if you’re in Athens for a few days though as Monastiraki, Plaka and Acropolis precincts have a much more pleasant atmosphere with a huge selection of outdooor cafe’s, bars, restaurants & shopping!

If youre only concern is the budget this is a reasonable stay. Otherwise, the facilities, the breakfast, the elevators and the overall unsafe surrounding area are terrible experience. That being said, the staff are attentive and helpful but 2/5 is the highest i could give this hotel.

It was OK for one night. Cons: the shower stall is tiny and uncomfortable. The breakfast was very basic. The area outside seems a bit shady and it was very noisy at night. I saw a syringe on the ground right outside the hotel entrance. Pros: the hotel is only 20 mins away from the Acropolis; plenty of dining options; free street parking available.

A good option to relax at night

Very friendly and helpful staff. The double room is perfect and the breakfast is good. The hotel is very near from de city center, only 15/20 minutos to Monastiraki by walk. The only negative thing is the extrange people in the streets around Omonia Square. They are harmless but some people can be afraid of being troubed or stolen. Anyway, there are a police station in the hotel street. A parking is just in front of the hotel, in case you go by car.

Excellent customer service from the front desk, very knowledgeable, caring and nice, specially Ross. Very tiny room. Bed sheets twin size for a queen bed. The bathroom is very tiny. The shower is a big joke. No shower head hanger. To take a “shower” you have to be holding the shower head with one hand and soap yourself with just one hand. No curtains in the shower, obviously the water splashes everywhere making a big pool to be standing. The “bar” just exists in pictures. Rooms no soundproof. You can hear a pin drop. Elevator just for one person and a small carryon at a time. Bad neighborhood. No recommended at all!
