Stayed here before
We’ve stayed here before, and will plan on staying again. Across from famous Varsity restaraunt. Great continental breakfast including waffles.

Not bad, but not wonderful either
As far as I can tell, you’re only going to get a really good hotel in Athens if you pay a fortune. On that basis, this hotel isn’t bad value-for-money: it’s generally clean and comfortable, has a passable free breakfast, and served me reliably for the three nights I was there. However, it’s nowhere near perfect. The biggest problem is that it’s really a motel, so the rooms are clustered around a central car park / parking lot. Because the parking area has a steep hill to exit, every night I was there I was woken by cars revving their engines in the early hours outside my room. You’ll also want to be aware of the location of this hotel. Although on the map it looks like it’s under a mile from central Athens, and therefore walkable if you want to go have a drink and not have to worry about driving back (like you really should, of course), that walk back is actually up a really nasty steep hill, and is not fun in the early hours. Most places this wouldn’t be a problem, but let’s face it: if your trip to Athens doesn’t involve drinking at some stage (either for the football or out in one of the bars - it’s a college town, after all), why on earth are you there in the first place?! In the long run, though, chances are that you’re better off staying here and then paying for a taxi. So this isn’t the lap of luxury, but it wasn’t bad in any major way either, and you could pay a lot more for a lot worse.
