Hotels in Psiri, Athens

We arrived after 10 PM. I was a bit hesitant about taking a taxi, as I'd seen previous guest comments mentioning safety concerns. However, the area around the airport metro station was quite lively, and the hotel was just a short walk, a few hundred meters, off the main road. The front desk staff were lovely and made us feel very comfortable. Once we got into our room and saw the Acropolis lit up at night, all my worries completely melted away.

The location is pretty good, about an 8-minute walk from the subway station, and you can get there directly from the airport. There are plenty of food options nearby, and it's very close to the street BBQ place. I arrived quite late that day and was assigned an upper bunk. I mentioned that I had requested a lower bunk when booking, and they ended up giving me a four-person dorm room all to myself! Although someone did check in in the middle of the night. The room is spacious, has a private bathroom, and even comes with a complimentary beer or soft drink. The rooftop bar is excellent, offering direct views of the Acropolis. The room's cleanliness is also very good. It has lockers, hangers, and a balcony, so drying clothes is not an issue.

The hotel's location is very convenient, with supermarkets, restaurants and shopping centers nearby. Opposite the hotel is the subway station exit, making it convenient to take luggage to the airport and pier. The front desk and breakfast staff are smiling and enthusiastic every day, and their English skills are high. The breakfast quality is also good, and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice every morning is particularly appetizing.

The best hostel I've ever stayed in. I can't even call it a hostel, it's definitely a hotel. They even make you an egg dish for breakfast, and everything is delicious. The hostel is comfortable, stylish, modern, and most importantly, very clean. I stayed in another hostel in Athens, which was also good, but Ocupa is the best place for solo travelers. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back!

The location of the hotel is not too bad, quite near to the train station and about 15 minutes away from the Acropolis. Check-in and check-out were easy and the facilities were good. However, a major issue was that there were 2 blackouts throughout the evening, with the 2nd blackout lasting more than 7 hours from 2130H to 0500H the next morning. I had no choice but to sleep in my cold room as there was no heating, no lights and no electricity available. Overall, a rough night of sleep but if they can ensure that there are no blackouts, then this is easily a decent 4 star hotel.

The location is incredibly convenient! We could walk to the Acropolis easily, and during our entire stay we didn’t spend any money on transportation at all. Right downstairs from the apartment was a lively neighborhood filled with everything you could need: breakfast spots, wine bars, seafood restaurants, grocery stores, self-service laundromats, and souvenir shops. We even got our hair done at a fantastic salon nearby. Although the check-in and check-out process was self-service, the hotel provided very detailed and helpful local information. The restaurant recommendations were excellent, the Wi-Fi connection was very easy to use, and the room itself was spacious and comfortable. The facilities were also thoughtfully prepared, with all kinds of plates, bowls, and wine glasses available. There was even a walk-in closet and a first-aid kit, which made the stay feel especially well-equipped and comfortable.

This is a basic hotel, but the room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast buffet didn't have a huge selection, but it covered the basics and was enough to fill you up. It's really close to Monastiraki Square and the metro. However, Monastiraki is a nightlife hub, and it gets really crowded at night with plenty of party-goers. The hotel is right next to a pub, and every night from around 10 PM until 1 AM, there was incredibly loud electronic rock music. We reported it to the front desk, and they did provide earplugs, but for someone who needs energy for sightseeing during the day and a good night's rest, this was a disaster. Next time, I'll definitely choose a quieter area to stay. This place is really only suitable for those who love a lively atmosphere.

Service: The staff I encountered were all quite good. The younger ones had good English, and the older ones were friendly and smiled warmly. 5/5 stars. Cleanliness: Very clean. There was a Cameroonian lady who spoke French, which was a plus! The room and bathroom were well-maintained and the air was fresh. Environment: I stayed in a 6-bed mixed dorm. When there were a lot of guys, the snoring was constant, sometimes even a duet! On the last of my three nights, there were three girls, which was better. The beds were sturdy with good privacy curtains. As for roommates, it's really a matter of luck! But it's good value for money, and it's only a 5-minute walk to the subway, so transportation is convenient. 😂
