Hotels near Greek Mythology, Athens

The short version: this is a modern hotel, well located and offers a great value for money. The long version: Getting there: from the airport we took the metro to Monasteraki (9€) then the hotel is literally across the street. Check-in: we got there early and the friendly front desk staff offered us water and kept our luggage while we went for a walk. When we came back the room was ready. The room: this room was spacious and modern. The shower was clean and well equipped. It has a small tv but we didn't use it at all. The room was cleaned and the towels replaced every day. The hotel is located in a busy area but the room was quiet. One thing worth mentioning is that there are graffitis everywhere in Athens and the hotel entrance is not an exception. So don't get discouraged by the hotel outside look. The stay: The hotel is just a minute walk from Monastraki metro station which gives access to two metro lines. You can pretty much go anywhere from there. The Monasteraki square itself is always busy day and night. The restaurants are abundant nearby and the food is delicious. We start our morning with a breakfast at the sister location 360 hotel: the breakfast is included and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality and the variety of the options. They start serving breakfast at 7am. There are many archeology sites nearby including the Acropolis which is a 30 minutes walk from the hotel. I would recommend going there early (8am) to avoid lineups and the big crowd. The staff were friendly and helpful every time we interacted wirh them. Check-out: fast and smooth. Nothing special to mention.

Though most of this establishment are private rooms, I stayed in the 8-person dorm, so that is what I am reviewing. While this hostel was very clean and well serviced, it isn’t as good as some other hostels I’ve stayed in recently. The beds were not the most comfortable, though I did sleep alright on them. The beds are completely in the open, so there is absolutely no privacy at all. Also, there are limited electrical outlets, so, depending on how busy it is, you might be fighting for plug space (fortunately the dorm was less than half occupied during my visit, so it wasn’t much of a problem). The dorm does have one, ensuite bathroom, which I imagine results in queues during the busy season, however it is very clean. Lockers are available outside the dorm room for your bags/valuables. The dorm is located on the second floor, over streets which are quite busy late at night, so you will hear the din from the crowd below (light sleepers beware!). Two of the best aspects of this hostel as it’s location and rooftop terrace. Five minutes walk from Monastiraki Square, everything you want to see in central Athens is a stones throw away. The rooftop terrace is absolutely wonderful, with magnificent views of the Acropolis and the old city. A great place to enjoy a few beers in the evening (and a killer sunset), a coffee in the morning (with a terrific sunrise), or just catching some rays in the afternoon. See photos. For the location and terrace alive, I’d stay here again…but would probably opt for a private room.

Didn't get off to a good start as my wallet was stolen getting off the metro, so wasn't in the best of moods, but the people on reception gave me some advice and the morning after we missed breakfast as we wanted to go and report the theft, the person on reception pointed us in the right direction for the police station. The rooms are pretty much as you find in Greece, everything you needed, bath was far to small for me but shower did its job, free safe in room as well. So on the second morning we went for breakfast, this is the highlight of this hotel, as you walk into the breakfast area you are greeted by a really friendly lady who cannot do enough for you and she comes across as a very happy person, typical Greek fare and enough to set you up for the day, bonus number two the view is amazing and as you walk further round the Acropolis appears, it was a great way to start the day. There is also a roof top area where you can sit and drink and at night the Acropolis is lit up and looks magical. The first impression of the area isn't that good, but once you get used to it, its fine, it did seem very safe and literally round the corner there are little streets full of nice bars and shops, it was also very quiet at night which made for a good nights sleep, I would stay here again if I am ever in Athens.

Our family greatly enjoyed our stay here. The room was spacious and the bed was quite comfortable. The WiFi is very fast, the air conditioning was cold, the water pressure was great. Our room had a little balcony. Highest complements to housekeeping. My husband said this may be the cleanest bedroom in his life. Breakfast included fresh options, pastries, and hot food choices. It was a short walk to the acropolis also. Staff was friendly and helpful. Thanks for a great stay!

Negative points:Breakfast buffet has less variety of food. It needs to include fruit squeezer and fried eggs. Black people stay nearby. Positive points: location is very good with 2 metro stations, especially omonia where 2 metro lines interact. They are very helpful for tourist to visit interesting places like acropolis. Staff service is excellent. Indian restaurants nearby offer delicious but cheaper food.

The hotel is well-equipped with good sound insulation. The hotel itself is not bad. The driver who picked up said that our hotel is located in the worst district in Greece. There are many thieves and refugees, and we were asked not to go out at night and pay attention to safety. So we didn't go out after we checked in and checked out early the next morning. Hotel service staff was kind.

Had a fab fantastic stay at the Apollo. Reception staff are lovely . Taxi service to and from ( holiday extras cheapest I found as I Didn’t want bus £74 return fab driver both on time . This is a great central location . The breakfast buffet is the same . But who cares it’s food and it’s included . I’m not a complainer . Get on with it .fab rooftop and amazing views . I paid £330 for this including flights . Not transfer . Jan 23 . I came early and my trip was originally in March and that was £530 for same . So yeh I had a bargain. The rooms are just being decorated and it was lovely . Amazing cake shop on corner . Hop on hop off bus also around the corner . It’s ideal . I was advised as o was a solo female . Lots of asylum and homeless . They can be aggressive at times . Stay away from side streets and told not to go out in the dark . This is normal for me anyway . The sites are awsum and if u are a walker like me . Once u get your bearings . It’s got fab history . Winter is half price entries to all monuments . So Acropolis was only €10 It’s a must . The national park and other monuments are fab . I chose not to go to meteora. Delphi or the islands cruise . Simply readings to many bad reviews . No regrets . They are expensive and extremely long day . But I had a blast exploring athens .

Stayed for 5 nights, the location is perfect as there is a metro station right outside the hotel, which will take you to most of the major tourist sites. The hop on hop off bus stops right outside the hotel also, so if you are a tourist it's easy to get around from the hotel. As four ladies alone, we felt very safe and would get taxi's to and from hotel to go out in the evenings, which the helpful staff are happy to book for you. The breakfast is brilliant with lots of choices so you never get bored. We stayed in a standard room which was small but perfectly formed, with lovely decor and all the amenities you will need. The best thing about this hotel is the amazing rooftop pool, bar and restaurant. Our taxi driver from the airport told us it was amazing and many locals will go there particularly at the weekends. Staff are so friendly especially Denisa our lovely waitress, food and drinks are varied and very nice. I would stay here again if I'm coming to Athens.

Everything was perfect in this well located hotel. We travelled with a dog and they were very accommodating. The room was very comfortable, clean and with full amenities. We will definitely return soon!
