3-Star Hotels in Athens

This is an extremely nice hotel situated in a perfect location. Our stay and review are based on a Superior room You would be hard pressed to find an Athens hotel in a better location. You are right in the middle of all the action with shops and restaurants nearby. You are spoilt for choice. Although in a busy area we found the excellent double- glazed doors/windows kept any noises out and it was not an issue at all. Our Superior room came with a kettle and tea/coffee making facilities although that is not listed on their website. It may be worth e-mailing them if this is important to you. There was air-con but in March there was no need to make use of it so we cannot comment on its efficiency. The toilet/bathroom came with those tiny bottles of shampoo and body wash which we refuse to use on environmental grounds so we brought our own and used that. There was a sign saying that if the used towels were hung up then it was assumed that we were happy to reuse them. The cleaners replaced them daily regardless. The rooms were kept very clean. This hotel has much going for it. We grabbed a deal here at a very attractive price which included breakfast. The breakfast arrangements were in a fairly small area but we felt that a good selection was provided considering the space limitations. Plenty of fresh vegetable choices and delicious too. The Tomatoes and Cucumber just tasted so much better than we are used to. Cereals, bread, cakes, fruit and coffee from a machine. We looked forward to our breakfast every morning and didn’t grow tired of it. Minor gripes (being very picky). The over the bath shower was a mini battle in so much that it was prone to shoot water out onto the floor if you weren’t being careful. It could have been better but all we had to do was to adjust our showering habits and all was ok in the end. Our room had a balcony facing out to the street below. It would have been nice for a couple of chairs out there rather than just a large pot plant and the air-con unit for company. I did notice that no other balconies on other building had chairs out so perhaps that is just the Athens way. We had a Fridge in our room. Very welcome. A very close mini supermarket was the cheapest place we could find to buy water. E0.39 for 1.5 litres as I recall. We loved this hotel. All the staff were so nice and so helpful. I can’t remember all of their names but Irena and Eva come to mind. They helped make our stay wonderful. It had a curiously homely feel about the place. March time was a great time of the year as it was a pleasant day time temperature with it getting a bit chilly in the evenings. You could still dine outdoors but with a patio heater nearby. We loved Athens and have decided to return next March with the flights already booked. We will stay at the Plaka Hotel again. 5 stars from us

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.

Chose this hotel due to it’s proximity to Syntagma Square and the X95 bus stop (we arrived in Athens at 1am from the airport). A very warm welcome despite the time, efficient check in and straight to our room. Hadn’t expected an Acropolis view but got one which was a nice touch for my partner as it was his first trip to Greece. Nice clean room and decent bathroom (something which can be challenging in Athens). We only booked for that one night, but check out was efficient and polite and they stored our bags for us so we had time to look around before moving on to our final destination.

This was my second stay at Athens Center Square Hotel and it was as good as the first. Location is fantastic in the old marketplace with a great restaurant at the corner and easy walk to Monesteri and metro. It is a budget hotel - so don't expect luxury and can be a little rough around the edges, but the price is good and the staff is fantastic. From the roof-top bar you get as good a view of the Acropolis as you have from any luxury hotel with friendly service and good prices at the bar. Breakfast included in the rate and was excellent with a large variety of fresh local items plus standard international options. Highly recommended if you want great value, comfortable rooms and fantastic staff. Not luxury, but my choice in Athens every time!

Great room very clean and comfortable all amenities that you would need in a hotel room clean bathroom well maintained ensuite. The staff are very helpful and accomodating. A really nice place to stay very perceiving from the road as it's a hidden gem in a crowded part of town.

After a excellent Viking cruise from Istanbul to Athens, we extended the city stay for three nights in Amazon Hotel. The hotel's location is central to most tourist attractions. The reason is as follow: what I found was that, on the map, one line up Syntagma square and Monastraki square with a straight line, the two streets connect the two is Ermou and Mitropoleos st. These two streets pretty well could be the reference point to most of the attractions. Amazon hotel is located on Mitropoleos st, next to Electra Hotel which is a bigger hotel and use it to ask direction in case you are lost. How do you find Mitropoleos st from Syntagma square/Metro station, the street is located the ”far” from the front of Hellenic Paramount building steps, in term of the clock direction, 12 o'clock is Ermou, 11 o'clock is Mitropoleos st. The hotel is only a few block away. The front of the Paramount building faces Monastraki square. The hotel is very good in term of staffs, service, cleanliness, breakfast, and location. Walkable to Acropolis, Anafiotiki, Monastraki square, National Park..etc. There are a lot of places to eat, but, unthinkable, I liked a Vietnamese restaurant the best nearby call Hanoi restaurant, one street over before Ermou, excellent food, specially the steam rice roll, big dishes. If you want to go to Airport from Synthama Metro, I suggested that you take couple stations back toward Piraeus to avoid the crowd, make sure you buy the 9 Euro airport ticket, someone was checking at the airport station. I went to Acropolis at 4:30pm, no line up for ticket. I also like to walk in all the old churches I came across, some are thousand years old and have beautiful arts. I also find, surprisingly, National Garden very relaxing, the sound of crickets and also lead me to the Olympic stadium and Arch of Hadrian,then Acropolis square, but don't go to Acropolis this way, go thru the church instead, ask the hotel front desk.

This was a great stay for us and our family. The hotel is conveniently located near many popular sights and eateries in Athens and most were within a 10-20 minute walk. The nearby Monastiraki metro station made it easy to get to and from the airport as well. The rooms are nicely appointed with a couple of chairs, work station, coffee/tea station, closet, mini fridge and TV. The beds were small but comfy enough. Our family had a 2 and 3 bed rooms and we found the 2 bed room was a lot more spacious. The bathrooms in both were small but we appreciated that the hot water came on quickly and there was a small window for ventilation. Our room was quiet at night but our family noted street noise on the lower floors. The elevators were often tricky to catch as they are small but we appreciated it when we didn't feel like the climb to the sixth floor. The amenities at the hotel were good for the price. The roof top patio and bar area was a highlight and we enjoyed a couple of afternoons up here watching the sun set and the lights turn on at the Acropolis. The prices of the bar were inexpensive and they had a good variety of options. There was a sitting room that had tea and coffee midday and they kept it open in the evening so we were able to sit together and talk. They had laundry service, baggage storage and could help arrange tours or car hires as well at the front desk with their friendly and welcoming staff. The breakfast at this hotel was very good for the price. They had something for everyone and lots of place to sit. Highlights for us were the Greek yoghurt and the spinach and feta stuffed pastries. They also had mini sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs, feta cheese, cucumber, tomatoes, breads, baklava, croissants, dried fruits, fresh fruits, juices and a coffee machine. We looked forward to breakfast each morning. The hotel provided a good base for exploring and was centrally located. We would say if you're looking to save money and have a good breakfast to start your day in Athens this hotel is a good choice.

The hotel room is small, but the location is very good. It is near the Concorde Square, and it is very convenient to take the subway and bus. Especially, there is a swimming pool and viewing platform on the top floor of the hotel, and you can have a panoramic view of the Acropolis.

It is a very nice hotel , we got the best service due to every staff with a big smile and give any suggestions for travel, such as transportation and location of the spot , amazing view to Acropolis at the top floor of hotel ,every morning we enjoyed our delicious breakfast strongly recommend one to tourists, even if a bit far from the metro station , but it is worth to be there , quiet and cozy place , for the room is not big, but it’s reasonable price , I will visit it Athens again and stay this hotel again .

The location is amazing. It's an easy walking distance to all the tourist sites. Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby also. I found the beds very comfortable, rooms and bathrooms were a fair size. Elevators are tiny. We overlooked the street on the 5th floor and I didn't find it too loud. Breakfast was well appointed and had a nice atmosphere. I had heard negative things about Athens and I ended up loving it!
