"Acropolis View Dream Hostel turned out to be a really pleasant surprise and a great base for exploring Athens. The rooms were simple but clean, the shared kitchen and common areas made it easy to chat with other travelers, and the rooftop terrace with the Acropolis in the distance was the highlight of every evening. The neighbourhood felt busy and a bit rough at first, but after a day I appreciated how convenient it was for cheap food and transport, and I ended up really enjoying the atmosphere...

Electra Palace Athens

Electra Palace Athens

10/10 Excellent
"Fabulous hotel in a perfect location for sightseeing. The suite with balcony was great with a stunning view of the Acropolis. All the people who worked in the hotel were efficient, friendly and really helpful. We loved our day and would definitely go back. If you’re looking for a very comfortable hotel right in the centre of ATHENS, this is definitely the one to book. "
