This was a solid location with great walkability to a variety of restaurants and attractions. Monastiraki Square is only about a 5-minute walk away, which made it very convenient for exploring the area. Don’t be too concerned about the graffiti in the nearby streets—Athens has quite a bit of graffiti throughout the city, and it’s common in many areas.

We stayed one night on a family trip to Greece. Even though the surrounding area looked little rundown, the hotel is in a walking distance to many amenities, well maintained, very helpful and friendly staff. We liked our stay and recommend it to anyone looking for reasonably priced hotel near the Athens city center.

Staff was great at arranging a taxi from and to the airport. AC in room wasn’t cool enough but other than that room was super clean and comfy. Great shower pressure! No breakfast on-site but there is a small weight room. Popular Greek restaurant right by the entrance. Street is unattractive but just blocks from tons of restaurants, shopping, etc.
