Take a breather at a area taverna where old men play backgammon with the intensity of chess grandmasters. Escape to the Attica Zoological Park when ancient marble becomes overwhelming.

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for three nights in an acropolis view room. It was a magical weekend. The room was spotless, the employees were all friendly and very helpful, and the Hotel is in an amazing location. There is so much going on outside near the Hotel. Great shopping, amazing food, very safe vibe, and just a fun place to walk around. The two high points that stood out extra special for us were the amazing view and the included buffet breakfast with a wall of window overlooking Athens and the acropolis. Worth the price. Would love to come back"

8/10 Good
"The highlight was a pool on the roof, overlooking the acropolis. Being on the roof, it wasn't very deep and was fairly small, so with quite a lot of hotel guests using it, there wasn't really room for a proper swim, but it was great for cooling off. We were delighted to see there was a shuttle-bus into the city centre, but it didn't go very regularly and got filled up so we had to walk. The breakfast choice was phenomenal - I could have stayed there all day - I couldn't even decide what to drink, let alone what to eat - but the following day, when I checked out before breakfast, all that was available was dry cake, crumbly biscuits and sachet coffee - a bit of an anticlimax for an otherwise good stay."

"We only stayed in Athens one night before with head over to an island. This was a beautiful boutique Hotel. He was located in a very nice walkable shopping area. Pretty close to all the main attractions. It does take about 25 minutes to get from the airport, We took a Taxi. When we got there, the room wasn’t ready yet, but they did hold our suitcases so we could walk around and enjoy the town. The best part of staying there was the restaurant that we ate that evening. It was probably one of the best meals we had the entire stay in Greece, I highly recommend it."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Athens

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Athens is in January, February, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For an enriching experience, it's recommended to stay for at least 3 to 4 days, which allows ample time to explore the city’s prominent landmarks, historical sites, and cultural attractions. During your visit, you can indulge in budget-friendly activities such as touring museums, visiting historical monuments, enjoying local cafes, and experiencing the vibrant theatre scene. This duration provides great value for money, ensuring you don't miss out on the city's rich heritage and artistic offerings.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Athens on Hotels.com, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections, where you may discover discounted hotel options as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com to stay updated on flash sales and special last-minute promotions, so you’re more likely to seize any saving opportunities. Additionally, Smart Shopping serves as a comparison tool within the app, allowing you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re informed if prices drop or rooms become available for your spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you find a more favourable rate for your stay in an Athens hotel. If you’re seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If it happens to be on the higher side, we may suggest alternative dates that could lead to more affordable options.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre generally tend to be pricier; however, thanks to Athens's outstanding public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that is still well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less congested neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations can provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
