Hotels Near National Garden Roman Ruins in Athens

Excellent value for money hotel in a fantastic location just a few minutes walk from Athens’ most visited spots. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and spacious and the breakfast buffet was fantastic. No tea/coffee making facilities but I don’t know if that’s normal in Athens, but there is a fridge and great air conditioning. Then roof top bar in their sister hotel Plaka is well worth a visit. Highly recommend.

I don’t know if it was because my flight was late and I checked into the hotel early in the morning. The room was arranged in the inner circle on the first floor. The window was in the patio. I couldn’t see the sun and the sky. The air was not good. The bathroom door got stuck once and couldn’t be opened. I have claustrophobia. I felt very bad👎, but the front desk responded quickly and tried to help. The restaurant is in the basement and there is no sunshine for breakfast. The breakfast is quite satisfactory. Freshly ground coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice are extra points. The hotel is very small, the front desk people are very nice, and the rooms are very new. The location is good, but it is recommended to take a taxi when checking in for the first time. It is difficult to find the location in the alley. The alleys in Athens are all crooked. After getting familiar with it, the location is very good👍

Though most of this establishment are private rooms, I stayed in the 8-person dorm, so that is what I am reviewing. While this hostel was very clean and well serviced, it isn’t as good as some other hostels I’ve stayed in recently. The beds were not the most comfortable, though I did sleep alright on them. The beds are completely in the open, so there is absolutely no privacy at all. Also, there are limited electrical outlets, so, depending on how busy it is, you might be fighting for plug space (fortunately the dorm was less than half occupied during my visit, so it wasn’t much of a problem). The dorm does have one, ensuite bathroom, which I imagine results in queues during the busy season, however it is very clean. Lockers are available outside the dorm room for your bags/valuables. The dorm is located on the second floor, over streets which are quite busy late at night, so you will hear the din from the crowd below (light sleepers beware!). Two of the best aspects of this hostel as it’s location and rooftop terrace. Five minutes walk from Monastiraki Square, everything you want to see in central Athens is a stones throw away. The rooftop terrace is absolutely wonderful, with magnificent views of the Acropolis and the old city. A great place to enjoy a few beers in the evening (and a killer sunset), a coffee in the morning (with a terrific sunrise), or just catching some rays in the afternoon. See photos. For the location and terrace alive, I’d stay here again…but would probably opt for a private room.

Dave's Hotel Athens is a great hotel for those looking to experience a new type of hotel with there cool industrial look. I had seen some questionable reviews, which left me with some worries surrounding the hotel and its location. I am happy that I gave the hotel a fair chance to impress me, The gentleman (Sadly missed his name) that welcomed us was extremely kind and happy to help us and do what he could to ensure we were happy. We stayed in room 802, This was a lovely room, a little small for a long stay but for the 3 days we had booked it was more than comfortable. We loved the little quirks in the room with red lighting, record players, and many more. The TV had a good range of channels and the bed was extremely comfortable especially the pillows. The only negative was the aircon that was controlled by a receptionist and was a pain to get keep calling to get it correct temp sorted. The surrounding area was a little run-down but you can see that they are starting to renovate the area, I think in a year or two it will be easier on the eye and more appealing to tourists. A couple of homeless people and a couple of odd characters but nothing you wouldn't get in any capital city across Europe. We did not ever feel in any danger or worried about walking around the area. The hotel also had a great rooftop with a Hot Tub that was open 24/7. Overall Great Hotel to stay at I would definitely try it out for something different to experience and the price is great.

Negative points:Breakfast buffet has less variety of food. It needs to include fruit squeezer and fried eggs. Black people stay nearby. Positive points: location is very good with 2 metro stations, especially omonia where 2 metro lines interact. They are very helpful for tourist to visit interesting places like acropolis. Staff service is excellent. Indian restaurants nearby offer delicious but cheaper food.

Minus: The toothbrush holder looked very dirty, I would probably give it a deep clean. There were some signs of mold in the shower and the toilet paper holder was loose from the wall. The rain shower head lived a life of its own, very inconsistent with how the water came out, it also took time for the water to warm up. If you care about noise, don't get a room with a street view, the windows really weren't soundproof at all. The location is a bit sketchy at night. I would also recommend the hotel to advertise to people not to waste food at the breakfast buffet because there was A LOT of it by others when we were there. This is a big thing for hotels in the north. Pros: The room looked quite newly renovated. Seems like the hotel was under renovation because when we were there it was a completely different style from the breakfast room to the room. It's probably going to be very pretty when it's finished. Plus for the minibar and kettle in the room. Plus for a separate toilet room and shower room. Great view from the balcony in the room and from the roof terrace. Great, down to earth staff. Also a very good breakfast, I have stayed in many different hotels and this is one of the best breakfasts in Europe for me.

Soggiorno con amici, posizionie buona (vicinissima a piazza Omonia) servita dalla metropolitana da qui e’ possibile raggiungere a piedi i punti di maggiore interesse della città. Purtroppo il quartiere è popolato da senzatetto e drogati (ma nel complesso si facevano gli affari loro) rientrando in hotel si aveva un po’ di timore nonostante fossimo 7 persone adulte. Hotel abbastanza nuovo le nostre 4 camere erano piccole e con diverse pecche. Le lenzuola erano più corte del letto. Il bagno aveva il doccino mal funzionante e facendo la doccia si allaga il bagno. Pulizia sufficiente, colazione non adatta, quando finivano i prodotti non venivano integrati e qualità per tanti prodotti insufficiente. Adatto per un breve soggiorno e sicuramente non un 4 stelle.

Had a fab fantastic stay at the Apollo. Reception staff are lovely . Taxi service to and from ( holiday extras cheapest I found as I Didn’t want bus £74 return fab driver both on time . This is a great central location . The breakfast buffet is the same . But who cares it’s food and it’s included . I’m not a complainer . Get on with it .fab rooftop and amazing views . I paid £330 for this including flights . Not transfer . Jan 23 . I came early and my trip was originally in March and that was £530 for same . So yeh I had a bargain. The rooms are just being decorated and it was lovely . Amazing cake shop on corner . Hop on hop off bus also around the corner . It’s ideal . I was advised as o was a solo female . Lots of asylum and homeless . They can be aggressive at times . Stay away from side streets and told not to go out in the dark . This is normal for me anyway . The sites are awsum and if u are a walker like me . Once u get your bearings . It’s got fab history . Winter is half price entries to all monuments . So Acropolis was only €10 It’s a must . The national park and other monuments are fab . I chose not to go to meteora. Delphi or the islands cruise . Simply readings to many bad reviews . No regrets . They are expensive and extremely long day . But I had a blast exploring athens .

Stayed for 5 nights, the location is perfect as there is a metro station right outside the hotel, which will take you to most of the major tourist sites. The hop on hop off bus stops right outside the hotel also, so if you are a tourist it's easy to get around from the hotel. As four ladies alone, we felt very safe and would get taxi's to and from hotel to go out in the evenings, which the helpful staff are happy to book for you. The breakfast is brilliant with lots of choices so you never get bored. We stayed in a standard room which was small but perfectly formed, with lovely decor and all the amenities you will need. The best thing about this hotel is the amazing rooftop pool, bar and restaurant. Our taxi driver from the airport told us it was amazing and many locals will go there particularly at the weekends. Staff are so friendly especially Denisa our lovely waitress, food and drinks are varied and very nice. I would stay here again if I'm coming to Athens.
