Here's a tip - book a room at the Hotel Tony. The hotel Phidias is a dump - really the only thing it has going for it is the location. It's very over priced, dirty, run down and you will be lucky if your air con works. We were in Greece for 3 weeks, this is the worst place we... More

We stayed for 3 nights here. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was nice and overall it is a good hotel if you want to be close to one of the busiest area in Athens. It's unfortunate that the rooms are not up to a better standard. They are clean but very tired. although some aspects are... More

This hotel is standing in the best and safer place to stay at in Athens : Near museums, cafes, pubs and tranport stations, in a safe area. You can really walk to it late in the evening on foot!!!But the owners, I think do not know what they have. It is a small hotel, without a lot of rooms, so... More

24ur staff is awesome. Rooms are small but always clean and comfortable. Daily breakfast is simple but always fresh. Overall we had a wonderful stay. We loved that this hotel is close (w/ in walking distance) to everything in Athens we wanted to see. It's in a great neighbourhood; surrounded by restaurants, cafes, and bars. It's w/in walking distance to... More

This was the first hotel we stayed in during our honeymoon to Greece. The hotel was in a perfect location along the pedestrian street, very close to the acropolis and easy walking distance to everything you would want to see in Athens. Lots of good restaurants and bars are located nearby. Unfortunately we did not find it a very comfortable... More

This Central Athens hotel is just below the acropolis in a trendy area and just up the road from the Thisseo Metro station which means it is directly connected to Piraeus harbour via the older Green Line and with just one stop to Monastiraki Station where you can switch to the the Blue Line direct to the Airport. So if... More

I had an excellent 5 day stay at this Hotel. The location is superb, very close to 2 metro-stations (Tisseio and Monesteraki), and in contrast to hotels in Omonia, in a safe, nice, and good neighberhood, close to many taverns and tourist-shops. The service was excellent, and the staff was very helpfull. The idea of the breakfast is typically greek:... More

This hotel's main selling points are its location and its prices. There are few hotels in this area of Athens, which was completely overhauled for the 2004 Olympic games, and turned into a relatively trendy semi-pedestrian area. The many large coffee shops and their outdoor tables are very popular with locals in warmer months, but upscale enough not to become... More

My son and I stayed at the Hotel Phidias for a couple of nights in late May while visiting the sites of Athens. The location was great. We walked to the Acropolis, the Agora, the Plaka, the Temple of Zeus, the Philopappos Hill, and the Roman Forum. The hotel is right on the pedestrian walkway which encircles the Acropolis and...

Overall this hotel was pretty good. The location is in a super touristy area of Athens. The street that it is on is lined with nothing but cafes that overcharge for dinner and drinks (although just a few streets away are some really amazing, well priced restaurants). There are peddlers everywhere on that street as well as a flea market... More
