Boutique Hotels in Athens

"The room was small; what they called a triple occupancy just meant an extra sofa. Luckily, there was plenty of counter space to put our things. Housekeeping came every two days, and we got mineral water upon check-in based on the number of guests, but it wasn't replenished during our stay. However, there's free water available on the first floor. There's a supermarket on the street behind the hotel, making it easy to buy water for 0.15 Euros. Convenience stores nearby charge 1 Euro. The surroundings aren't particularly scenic, just a regular street, a bit cluttered, like a third-tier city in China. The safety was fine; I was a bit nervous before coming, but there was nothing to worry about. It's close to the Acropolis, which is very convenient for sightseeing. There's a Chinese restaurant not far to the right when you exit, and also one towards the Acropolis. I just felt the value for money was really low. For this price, you could stay in a five-star hotel in China, but here it's just a budget hotel. It is what it is, I guess. Hardly needed any cash; credit cards were accepted everywhere. **Cleanliness:** Decent, clean and tidy. **Service:** Everyone greeted us upon entering and exiting, very enthusiastic."

"The 8th and 9th floors of the hotel, as well as the rooftop breakfast area (which is also the top floor), offer direct views of the Parthenon. Plus, the infinity pool on the rooftop is perfect for photos! Probably because there are so many guests (and many rooms), after calling the front desk, service takes a long time to arrive (sometimes I even had to directly ask a housekeeper in the hallway for what I needed). The room facilities are quite old. Around noon, the front desk gets swamped with guests checking out. On another note, the hotel offers a free shuttle service to the old town every hour on the dot."

"We were greeted by Mr George who's very friendly and helpful and checked us in immediately. Hotel provides breakfast from 6.30an to 930am which has a spread of salads, breads, croissants, cheese, ham, eggs, coffee, tea and juices. Room is fairly spacious with a balcony that oversees the main road. It can be noisy in the day because of cars and the tram but it didn't bother us as we were out. Room has a steam iron, kettle, fridge, coffee and tea sachets. Their rooftop has a pool and you can see the Acropolis in the distance. We stayed for 2 nights and booked another 2 nights on our return back to Athens because all the staff are so kind and hospitable. Highly recommended. The photos on this booking platform should be updated as it looks different. It didn't look as good in the photos but when you walk in you feel good. It is about 7 min walk from Larissi station or Metaxourghio station."

"I highly recommend B48 Dafni. It’s slightly off the center but getting to the Acropolis takes a 20 min ride, which is totally fine. The design is minimalist and the apartment is pristine clean and has almost everything you need (cooking supplies, blow dryer, cleaning kit, even a small safe deposit box). There is a shop nearby and some cafes.  A couple of things worth mentioning: if you think about having romantic breakfasts in the balcony, you won’t because the flat is overlooking a very busy highway crossing the whole city, though the smell, the dust and the occasional car noise. The noise level in the room with window closed is ok and they also give you some earplugs just in case.  Note that there is no washing machine, as I was staying for 10 days I had to discover that the nearest laundromat requires a 20 min ride which makes a whole operation very time consuming.  Also the apartments are really located near one another (like hotel rooms). I had pretty noisy neighbours and there was no salvation to this lol :) earplugs do help.  Apart of all that I had really great time there. The bed is really good, the cleaning staff is very nice and helpful (since there is no reception desk they will be the only ones answering your questions non-digitally).  But it totally worth its price and if you’re looking for something cosy and not too pricy this is a very good solution."

"Amazing property. Very spacious and well Maintained. Housekeeping was exceptional and was a lovely stay. Really appreciated the private jacuzzi. Staff were exceptionally friendly and the check in procedure was very seamless."

"This was my first time in Athens, and I chose this downtown hotel. The location is excellent, very close to the Acropolis and Syntagma Square, and it even offers free parking. The room was quite spacious and clean, and the breakfast was very rich and satisfying. However, the downside was that our room faced the street, and the noise from cars and motorcycles was too loud, disrupting our sleep. Another drawback was that the single bed in the triple room was right next to the double bed and very low, which made it uncomfortable."

"Aile olarak gittik ve yaş ortalaması yüksek bir grup olmasına rağmen herkes çok memnun kaldı. Odaları çok temiz. Her gün havlular değişti oda temizlendi. Kahvaltısı yurtdışı standartlarinin çok üzerindeydi. Meyvesinden kuru yemişine kadar her şeyi düşünmüşler. Bir daha Atina'ya gitsem yine bu otelde kalırım. Ayrıca personellerin hepsi güler yüzlü ve samimiyetle yaklaştı. En son gün otelden çok erken ayrılmamız gerekiyordu. Kahvaltınin ücreti önceden ödendiği için 11 kişiye ayrı ayrı kahvaltı paketi hazırlayıp verdiler. Havaalanında yedik ve yumurtaya kadar koymuşlar. Mükemmeldi çok teşekkür ediyorum 🙏🏻"

"This was my first time in Athens, and I chose this new hotel, which opens at the end of 2025, mainly because of its central location. It's only a 3-4 minute walk from the Omonia metro station, making it quick to get to Syntagma, Monastiraki, and Acropolis by metro. Advantages: Super new and sparkling clean. The hotel is truly new—the elevators, corridors, lobby, and rooms are all brand new. The location is actually very convenient. While it's not in a location like Plaka or Syntagma where you're practically right next to tourist attractions, it's a 15-minute walk to the bustling Ermou shopping street, and just three metro stops to the Acropolis entrance. A taxi to the airport takes only 35-40 minutes. The breakfast exceeded my expectations. The complimentary buffet breakfast didn't have a huge variety, but the quality was excellent. It included freshly cut fruit, Greek yogurt, various breads, an egg section (scrambled eggs and boiled eggs), traditional Greek pies, and freshly ground coffee. Minor drawbacks (genuine feedback): The Standard Room isn't very large. Both rooms are approximately 20-22 square meters, which is a bit cramped with an extra bed, especially when putting in luggage and having a child running around. The wardrobe is sufficient. If you have a lot of luggage, it can feel a bit cramped. There is no swimming pool or gym. In summary, for a family of four, the Great Athens Hotel is a very cost-effective choice, especially considering its newness, cleanliness, good service, and reliable breakfast. While the location isn't in the very heart of Plaka, its proximity to the metro makes up for it, and overall, we had a very comfortable stay. If we visit Athens again, we would definitely consider staying here again."

"Excellent location near Syntagma Square and walkable to all tourist spots. The staff were cheerful and attentive, and the room was well-equipped (comfy bed, slippers, and toothbrush provided). The best part was the breakfast buffet on the rooftop with a view of the Acropolis. Highly recommended!"

"I recently stayed at the Athens Kaliriho Executive Hotel and had a great experience! The hotel is very conveniently located close to the city center and major attractions, within walking distance to the Acropolis and Plaka area, and has very convenient transportation. The room is spacious and bright, with a modern and elegant decoration style, comfortable beds, complete facilities, and especially the city view outside the window is refreshing."
