PAME Wild
This is a pretty basic hotel. It is rather new but simple. Our room 103 had no proper or enough lighting. We were unable to sleep because the room was sprayed with an extremely strong odor. Value for money is very low considering how basic and barely comfortable this place is.

Great launch point hotel for a stay in Athens! Clean, functional, quiet and comfortable. Especially appreciated is the second floor (mezzanine level) welcome area where breakfast and afternoon meal buffets are presented (no fee). Would return.
