V1935 Luxurious Apartments
4.6/554 Reviews
Syntagma Square
I stayed for 18 days, and it could not have been more enjoyable. The apartment is spacious with comfortable bedroom, living room/kitchen, and bathroom/shower. It is well equipped with refrigerator, stove, microwave oven, dishes and cooking pots, washing machine, etc. It is maintained in immaculate condition in terms of cleanliness and functioning. It has a balcony too, although it is rather narrow. The location is outstanding, in central Athens, close to Syntagma Square, with easy access to the Metro and other transportation. It is also close to a lot of sightseeing. The streets in the neighborhood were quite crowded, as was to be expected in such touristy area, but this was also the reason for the many restaurants and other stores close by. I was particularly impressed by the friendliness and efficiency of the staff at the front desk, the breakfast area, as well as the cleaning people. Everybody showed an interest in making my stay there easy and more comfortable. In addition, the Roof Garden restaurant on the 6th floor, which is well-known and highly acclaimed in Athens, is an excellent place to have some wonderful dishes, with the same friendliness of the staff, as in the rest of the hotel. My stay in V1935 was memorable, and I highly recommend it if you want to stay in central Athens.

Syntagma Square
Extremely clean structure, near the Metropolitan Station Syntagma. Beautiful design of the rooms, code access. There is no real reception; in the apartment kitchen with everything necessary. There is no breakfast, perhaps in agreement with the numerous bars nearby, but there is a hot coffee machine, tea bags and mini-biscottes. Advisable

Syntagma Square
The room we stayed in was very large and beautiful. The staff was friendly and readily available around the clock. We stayed in a room with an acropolis view and it was nice to hang out on the balcony and look out after sunset. This hotel is very accessible to most things and the bus stop is right across the street in case you want to wander a little further. Lots of restaurants and bars nearby walking distance with late hours. There are a few major shopping streets right around the corner as well. I would definitely stay here again if traveling to Athens in the future.
Hotel Grande Bretagne, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Athens
4.5/583 Reviews
Syntagma Square
The location of the hotel is first-class, next to the Greek Police Headquarters, there is no problem with security. The breakfast at the hotel only has Western food. It’s okay to eat two meals. I’m not used to eating too much, but the restaurant for breakfast has a first-class view, and you can see the Acropolis. Athens' luxury stores, women's market, the largest department store, Chinese restaurant, and the Capitol are all within a 10-15 minute walk from the hotel. There is a free heated swimming pool and sauna on the ba*****t floor of the hotel. According to locals, this is the best hotel in Athens.
Hotel Achilleas
4.5/580 Reviews
Syntagma Square
Originally, I saw that it was an economical model and had low expectations for it, but it was actually quite good. The decoration is new, it is a dry and wet separation design. The room is also very spacious. It will be really pleasant to open the door when there are more puas in the European countries above Greece. The front desks are all qualified, and they are the types that greet people when they meet. I wanted a quilt in the middle of the night, and the front desk quickly answered the phone and delivered it. There is an older person who is particularly warm and thoughtful, and his English is also very fluent. The location of the hotel is very good. Although it is not next to the popular Syntagma Square, it is also very convenient to the business district. Athens is only so big. I have never taken any car, including the bus and subway, except for the airport terminal. There are several living room sofas that can be used as sofa beds (the one I live in is like this, and then judged according to the floor plan posted on the door), and there is a simple partition from the bedroom, so it should be quite suitable for family travel of. The only downside is that there might be a bar nearby? It's not the kind of closeness, just because many restaurants and bars in Athens are open, so the sound can't be contained. Every morning in the early hours of the day, I play the European and American hits from ten years ago and the top 100 electronic music from four or five years ago. The sound is relatively vague, but the hearing is good enough to hear the lyrics. I don't mind because I don't sleep in the early morning. My friend sleeps every day and says she doesn't hear it at all, so it depends on the individual. The sliced cake and yogurt for breakfast were delicious. The milk tea thief in the two steps near the downstairs is delicious. I guess everyone will pass it no matter where they go. Anyway, I am showing it every day except Sunday (the door is not open).
The Marblous Athens

Syntagma Square
Probably went to the holy island first, the accommodation gap in Athens is a little big. I chose the city center with convenient transportation, the hotel location has a variety of advantages, cost-effective consideration or sacrificed comfort. The Acropolis, the square, and the main shopping area are all within walking distance. There are many dining and downstairs downstairs, and the night is low. Feel the leisure of the Greek people chatting at the bars and dessert shops at the corners of the streets and slowly integrate into the city.
