Hotels near Temple of Olympian Zeus in Athens

The hotel is good especially for resting purposes only, their breakfast food was good, staff are friendly and very helpful to our eeeds

The hotel is located very close to the main attractions of Athens, and although the neighbourhood doesn’t look pretty, the hotel is very good, with good facilities and spacious rooms. I stayed in a corner room and the lighting is excellent! Bathroom is decent, although the lack of a shower door, meant that water sometimes went into the carpet in the room. The breakfast is very basic and depending on what time you go, there’s even less choice, so maybe not worth the added extra, considering there are many options of restaurants around. There is a small fridge in the room so you can buy drinks and keep them chilled! I also liked that we were able to order a food delivery and the hotel was ok with that! The front desk staff are always polite and helped us when we needed anything.

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

Stayed in a 6 bed hostel room. Bunk was comfortable. Nice large lock boxes. Good lighting and electric outlets with each bunk. Good curtains for privacy and lighting. Staff was really helpful and welcoming. Nice cafe on street level. Bathrooms were clean and kitchen on 1st floor was nice and coffee and tea were available. Great location in a Athens. Right where you want to be for quick access to attractions, transportation, restaurants and nightlife. Yes staying in a shared room can get noisy when people come in after a night out, but that’s hostel life. In any case bed was comfortable and I slept well. Would stay there again.

Excellent location. Walking distance to all attractions, if you are a walker. Wonderful staff, very polite and helpful. Elevator a little slow :) but it gets you to the floor requested. The room is big and bed very comfortable. Everything was in perfect working order (and we even got to watch one game from the world cup!!). House was in everyday to make the room. Shower very large and grsate water pressure! I didn't like the breakfat, but it was just me. My wife called me ”spoiled” :) Thank you for accomodating us!

So gracious and helpful! The hotel is a sweet little boutique hotel in a perfect location and very safe. Two blocks from Monastiraki Plaka and the Flea Market, which is at the base of the Acropolis. This Plaka is also where you can get the Hop on Hop off bus- tickets we got at the hotel. Totally renovated, compact room with all that you need. Only complaint, they could have extended the bathroom counter so we could put things there. Our room was on the street but still very quiet. The breakfast is optional - we didn’t partake but it looked fresh and plentiful. We had two nights here before a cruise and after our cruise we had 12 hours before our flight so they wonderfully held our bags (no charge) for us so we could explore some more of Athens . They were so accommodating , arranging transfers and mailing postcards for us. Bottom line, fabulous experience.

Πελάτης repeater (4) . Το διαμέρισμα ήταν βρωμικο με τρίχες παντού!!!!!!! Η ενημέρωση ήταν για 3 pax και amenities υπήρχαν για 2. Καθυστερήσαμε στον δρόμο και φτάσαμε τα μεσάνυχτα δεν υπήρχε ούτε ενα μπουκάλι νερό στο ψυγείο σαν welcome gift!!!!!!! 1,5€ η εξάδα κάνει. Επαναλαμβάνω repeater πελάτης. Πάμε τώρα στα ωραία!!!!!! Όλο το βράδυ δεν κοιμηθήκαμε γιατί το καζανάκι έτρεχε σαν ΠΗΓΗ!!!!!! Μπήκαμε στο δωμάτιο και βρωμουσε τσιγάρα γιατί το housekeeping δεν παρατήρησε η μάλλον έλλειψη σωστού ελέγχου από τους υπεύθυνους ότι υπήρχε ενα ποτήρι με τσιγάρα σε ένα από ραφια στο σαλόνι. Οσον αφορά την καθαριότητα εν μέσο πανδημίας ΜΗΔΕΝΙΚΗ. Το μπαλκόνι στην πλευρά του σαλονιού μέσα στην βρώμα, ένας καναπές βρώμικος στον οποίο σιχαίνεσαι να καθίσεις. Εμεις τα καθαρίσαμε. Στο μπάνιο σπασμένη η βάση όπου τοποθετούνται τα amenities. Ντροπή και αντιεπαγγελματική συμπεριφορά. Παρότι κάναμε τα παράπονα μας ( λάβαμε μνμ ότι εάν μείνουμε και την δεύτερη μέρα θα τα έφτιαχναν, η αλήθεια είναι πως μείναμε γιατί δεν είχαμε ούτε χρόνο και διάθεση να ψάχνουνε διαμονή για μια μέρα) δεν ήρθε κανένας στο δωμάτιο να φτιάξει και να καθαρίσει τίποτα.

Everything was perfect in this well located hotel. We travelled with a dog and they were very accommodating. The room was very comfortable, clean and with full amenities. We will definitely return soon!

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.

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.
