Omonia
I had a wonderful stay there, not only once, but twice, since my flight was canceled. The location is very close to Omonia subway station, very central area, easy to reach everything by walking. The room had all the facilities needed, aircon perfectly working, comfortable beds. My special thanks goes to the lovely receptionist lady, that had always an amazing attitude and kindness, understood my needs, gave me advice and assistance during all my stay! She made all the difference! Definitely l will consider it again for my future visit!

I loved this place, a short walk to all Athens has to offer in a nice neighborhood with lots of restaurants right around the corner. The staff and facilities made me feel like I was home. I will definitely use this hotel again when I come back to Athens.

Some girlfriends and I visited Aeros Hotel Athena in the middle of summer months , temperatura in Athena about 40+ degrees. Front staff very friendly and went beyond to meet needs. Location of this hotel is very convenient since squares with all sort of nice restaurants are at walking distance . Rooms are spacious, neat and well Kept; however, AC is short from efficient, mine said 16 degrees and it was far from that. Felt like 80+ in the room. Front office staff leaves at 5:00 PM and there is literally no one to assist if not having to be persisten with phone calls. They also turn the lobby AC off when they leave so it is extremely uncomfortable and hot from the moment you walk in , using guest card in front hotel door. Elevators seem Like bank safes, very small and claustrophobic so if that is an issue , ask for 2nd floor Took a to use the stairs, which are also very hot. Besides staff and nice spacious rooms, I was not comfortable at all with the temperature throughout the hotel. There is no restaurant but 2 vending machines for drinks and coffee.
Acropolis View Hotel
4.7/5121 Reviews
Koukaki
I took the last room available, a single room, and was not looking forward to a small room but very pleasantly surprised. The room was compact but very nicely furnished. These rooms have been modernised recently and was absolutely perfect for my needs for a one-night stay in Athens. Excellent shower and air conditioning. I slept very well, the only negative comment would be that I was woken very early by the noise of staff getting breakfast ready. The hotel is quietly situated in a side street very close to the Acropolis entrance and just a short walk down the hill from the city centre tour bus drop off. It's also just a few minutes walk from the Acropolis metro stop. The roof terrace has beautiful views and you can buy a drink from the downstairs bar and take it up to the roof. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful and I would definitely recommend Acropolis View Hotel for single travellers.
Noble Suites

This terrific little hotel is tucked away next to the walking mall and under the Acropolis. Mariana greeted us when we arrived, registering us in no time and even though it was 9 am, our room was prepared and waiting for us. That gave us the opportunity to unpack, change and head out to explore the city. Our room was quite spacious, with a king bed and plenty of storage space. We had a desk, sofa and TV. The windows were covered in almost total blackout shades that allowed us to awaken when we set the alarm. The shower facilities were excellent, as was the remainder of the toilet facilities. Overall our room, 101, was impeccably clean, neat and well appointed. And we had a wall-mounted air conditioner with remote control for temperature and on/off timer. Breakfast was included in our reservation. It was huge. Orange juice, water, coffee/cappuccino followed by salad and a plate of freshly cut fruit including banana, pear, apples and others. And finally, we enjoyed toast and scrambled eggs, the latter were hot and fluffy. The location is excellent, a short stop from the hop-on-hop-off bus stop, which we enjoyed. Many cafés and restaurants are less than a 10 minute walk away as is the entrance to the Acropolis and the Acropolis museum, both of which are must visits while in Athens. We plan to return to Noble Suites when we are next in Athens. Thank you.
