This is my second stay at this hotel having last stayed in Sept 2010. I was on my way back from Crete and wanted a base for some day trips beyond Athens. This is a budget hotel and all I needed was a clean room, bed and shower, which I got. The staff were still as helpful and friendly as... More

My daughter and I had to spend a night in Athens and booked this hotel, because it was cheap and central. We expected a very basic place. However, we were pleasantly surprised at this lovely, friendly place, the great location and the amazing price, which even included breakfast. It was spotlessly clean, spacy, comfortable and had even a balcony. The... More

I stayed on the front end and back end of a trip to the Greek Islands in the Economy Hotel in Athens in September/October 2011. The reviews I saw on Trip Advisor led me to believe the property was good, just the area was questionable. That is an understatement. The Hotel is tired and old. Not much works properly, i.e....

------------ I stayed at Hotel Economy in Athens Greece. Its located in the center of the city about a 10 min walk from the Plaka and a 20 min walk from the Acropolis. Almost all areas around the city center of Athens are run down and "shady" so if you make sure your flights/cruise ships leave at a reasonable time... More

Really great value hotel. Nice rooms with balconies, great breakfast spread, clean, helpful staff - brilliant. Only negative is slightly dodgy red light district round the corner. Wouldn't notice during day but bit intimidating at night. Absolutely no worries if you approach from City Hall Square. Easy walking distance to main sights and Metro. More

My wife and I struggled with all of the reviews before we actually booked this hotel. There was the normal differences in opinion. Since we have lived in both the US and Germany, we understand the differences in the 'stereotypical' expectations of the average North American vs. European traveller. First and foremost: we were extremely happy with our stay. The... More

Good basic hotel located between Omonia Square and Monastiraki Square just off of Athinas Street near the city market. The hotel is basic but was clean and provided a good breakfast. Relatively easy walk to Monastiraki Square and the Plaka. The area looks rough but we didn't have any problems whatsoever. The hotel staff were extremely helpful with travel and... More

We stayed here for 2 nights, arriving late the first night and leaving early the second night. It's a great base for a short visit to Athens (we only spent 1 full day in the city) and it offers cheap rates for a solid quality room. The area isn't the nicest--we felt perfectly safe during the day, but took cabs... More

We were there for 2 days, as everyone said the hotel is central and is great for short stays... You really only need 1 day in Athens (Max 2) thats what we felt anyway... The hotel staff were very helpful and told us where to go and what to do without even asking. We even had to leave at 3am... More
