Hotels near Parthenon, Athens

We couldn’t fault our stay at L7 Athens hotel. After a long journey we were greeted at the door and taken straight for a glass of fizz at the bar whilst reception checked us in. Our room was great for what we needed as we were exploring Athens all day. It was comfortable, clean and smelt amazing Molton Brown products were a lovely touch for that extra bit of luxury. All the staff we encountered were helpful and polite. I would definitely recommend this hotel!

The new hotel is so well decorated and facilities are great. The location is at the exit of the omonia subway station and you can see it as soon as you leave the station. Although it is located in the most chaotic area of Athens in legend, the actual experience of the hotel itself is very safe.

Great location. Friendly staff. Very good breakfast. The room was clean but a bit dark and old fashioned especially the furniture. I know a lot of rooms/floors were renovated; the specific room was not one of the renovated ones. The air conditioning was in perfect condition as the heat outside this time of the year is unbearable.

Stayed here for 4 nights end of Feb/March as a couple. Location: Hotel is in an excellent location directly opposite the Metro within walking distance to Syntagma Square, Monistraki Square and the Acropolis (or you can take the Metro red line and these are within 3 stops which we did). Can also walk to neighbourhoods like Psyri which we did for dinner which was lovely. Omonia Square which is the metro station name is also on the same line as Piraeus which is the port of Athens (well worth a visit to walk around and have food / drinks overlooking Zea Marina or Mikrolimano Harbour. Down the road is Central Market which we experienced on a Sunday night which was cool. 24-7 bakery next door which is more than just a bakery; sandwiches, pizza, ice cream, artisan desserts A couple of late night gyros places if you arrive late including 1 directly next door Supermarkets within a few mins walk Room: We had a comfort room. On check in she offered us an upgrade without seeing the room and told us to have a look at it first. The room was small but clean however the view was awful. Boxed in by 3 derelict walls taller than us so natural light was limited. Housekeeping is lazy - put water in a broken fridge (we fixed ourselves), didn't replace cups or tea/coffee after we had used the, (had to ask reception twice) and on day 3 she took every single towel and didn't replace them. We had 2 single beds (not even put together with 1 sheet to make it like a double). Bathroom needs an upgrade, shower made water go absolutely everywhere and the tiles are very outdated. I would recommend going for a deluxe room (we were offered an extra 12 euros a night for one) and didn't take it but if you like a bit more comfort and a view then it is probably worth it. Breakfast: Great spread, continental breakfast, pastries, yogurt etc. Overall, would recommend (with a deluxe room). Cannot fault the location and moreover Athens is alive every night. Part of the fun was walking from the hotel to dinner (restaurants are absolutely incredible). We walked through some dark streets but honestly nobody even so much as looked at us funny so don't let anyone put you off by mentioning the streets round the back of Omonia Square.

It was a large apartment with a separate living area/kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. We loved having a king-sized bed and the bathroom was large with plenty of counter space. The location was good for walking - about 10 minutes from the touristy Plaka area. The host met us on arrival and showed us around the apartment. He provided a bottle of water and each day they replenished the coffee for the coffee maker in the room. A small laundry room was available in the common area of the hall. The only real complaint was that it was quite noisy. There were skateboarders that were skating every night until almost 10pm and since we go to bed early that was disruptive. Also we were there for Orthodox Easter and there were fireworks late at night. The only other small negative is that the shower is completely open on one side and so water sprays all over the bathroom. Fortunately it seemed to be low humidity so it would dry in a few hours.

Breakfast was the best thing about this hotel! The staff are helpful and friendly. Comfy beds, room is relatively small, however the most annoying thing about it is that there is no sufficient light, and the window was really small so even during the day we didn’t get much natural light, and per my understanding upon discussing this with the workers, this is the situation in most of there rooms. Location wise - it was about 5-10 minutes drive to most attractions, in the future i would probably choose a hotel in Syntagma area.

The hotel room is not big, but the location is very convenient for travel. When you go out from the left-hand corner and turn right, you will find the subway station. There are also several restaurants, which are quite lively. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the old site of the University of Athens and 20 minutes to the Syntagma Square.

I arrived around 1 am and was worried the hotel might be closed for the night. However they have 24hr service so you can check in at any time. The women who worked at nights was very helpful and told me to ask her if I needed to find anything and she’ll tell me where to go. The room itself was clean and came with all you need for the price I payed. The location is amazing, right in the centre and a short walk away from most of the main attractions that you’ll want to be seeing.
