Top Downtown Athens Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Athens North

10/10 Excellent

"Actually booked via Expedia 30 minutes before we checked in. Check-in was easy, and guest staff was very friendly. Room was very clean and comfortable. "

Best Western Athens

6/10 Okay

"We stayed 2 nights. A pool and spa were listed on several websites but we learned on arrival it closed 6 years ago. Also no one came to clean the room and there was no apology or move to rectify. We just called at least get more towels. Breakfast staff were great. Location was convenient and beds comfortable but not sure we would stay again. "

The Bell Athens by Kasa Living

10/10 Excellent

"Wow..just wow! All I can say about this stay was that it was absolutely incredible. Starting from the very easy pre-check in process all the way to the gorgeous rooms, every detail of the Kasa was creative, innovative, and of course, stunning. Between the free iced protein coffee beverages and water in the room refrigerator (plus snacks, like protein bars and chocolate!) to a fully, and I mean fully stocked lobby area with complimentary snacks and more drink options than most restaurants have, you never have to travel far for a quick pick-me-up. Although, because of the central location, everything and anything is within a 3-10 minute walking distance! I also must give an honorable mention to the room decor. Upon walking in, you are greeting with bold and unique colors from top to bottom. After reading the booklet provided, you are informed about how each room is uniquely designed surrounding a famous artist! Since each room is special, it really made me want to come back to see all of the different variations and masterpieces! I won’t spoil all of the secrets.. however. There’s is much more to see for yourself!"
