Top Downtown Athens Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn & Suites Athens University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and affordable. Breakfast options were nice."

Hotel Indigo Athens University Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay, the Athens music theme throughout the hotel was great, staff were friendly and it was very clean and modern. It was a couple blocks from downtown and conveniently located to the university. I would highly recommend. My only complaint was the lack of a mini fridge in the room and the size of the televisions. They do have a snack bar downstairs along with the restaurant and bar. Breakfast was excellent."
