Brazil Hotel
4.2/527 Reviews
Victoria
Spacious room with very large shower cubicle and balcony. The staff has always been extremely kind and helpful: they always asked us if we had slept well at night and if the room was quiet enough. The hotel is within walking distance of one of the metro stations (Viktoria), making it very easy to get around the city. At night the area doesn't give a good impression, but maybe that's just a bias. In any case, nothing bad has ever happened to us.
Areos

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.
Hestia - Alexandras 38

Very comfortable and clean rooms, fully equipped and new. Location may not be the best in town, but it’s anyway close enough to most tourist landmarks and business districts. AC worked flawlessly and helped us to deal with record temperatures of 44 degrees outside.
Pame Wild
4.4/521 Reviews
Victoria
This was my first stay at Pame Wild, but my wife and I have stayed at its sister facility, Pame House three times. The difference between the two is slight. Wild is a little less expensive, but it's location is less central, though only two stops away on the Metro. In either case, the attention to detail is exceptional. You get excellent value for your dollar---or euro, as the case may be. I arrived the night before Orthodox Good Friday 2023, and the hotel clerk on duty, Panagiotis, spent at least twenty minutes helping me to reserve a seat on a bus to Lakonia the next day. Without his help, I likely would have found myself spending Orthodox Easter in Athens. So, thank you, Panagioti, and thank you Pame Wild.
Radisson Blu Park Hotel Athens
4/576 Reviews
Victoria
Close to the subway, opposite the park, quiet, rooms are large enough. There are 3 stops from Constitution Square. The service is warm and attentive. I did not eat breakfast at the hotel. The quality is not clear. I will consider living next time.
Nicola Hotel
3.8/56 Reviews
Victoria
I was a little dubious before booking this hotel as it didn't have many reviews, and none of them were recent but I prefer to stay at independent hotels as I manage one myself and find that the overall quality of service is better than a large chain. We're not the sort of people who spend a lot of time in our room and generally only use it to sleep so we found it adequate, however they could do with some updating (especially the paintwork), and the safe didn't have keys or batteries which meant that it didn't work. the standard of cleanliness was satisfactory but I think additional time spent cleaning the rooms (ie dusting the lamps) would increase the rating greatly. The standard of cleanliness and decor in the bar/reception and breakfast areas was very very good, the air conditionaing was excellent, and Breakfast was good, and fresh. We had to leave very early for a tour on one day and the staff put coffee and cakes on the bar for us beforehand which was lovely of them. The staff are EXCELLENT! Very friendly - we met four staff, who greeted us like good friends every day, and with a lot of enthusiasm. There is a nice greek restaurant around the corner (do-re-mi) and a convenience store on the next corner. Taxis to the centre are around 5 euros. To summarise, it is a very basic hotel, but was adequate for our needs, and the staff really shone.
