Location was amazing- thats what you pay for at this place! Room wasnt very clean, heaps of dust on skirtings, bathroom has no window and it smells very damp/ moisture. But for one night we managed- view was unmatched and everything was so close, bars restaurants buses. Staff were friendly. Lift is very very small, so if youre a big person or travelling with alot. Not very suitable.

Great hotel for a budget hotel which is a short walk from everything. There are stairs to get to the lift. Does not suit people who cannot do any stairs. Bathroom is tiny but meets needs. Does have some noise from shopping area at night but you are in the heart of Plaka. If you want something cheap for a couple nights near every thing this is great. If you want some luxury and no stairs then this will not suit you.

Staff was very nice and the location is great. Rooms are pretty small but do the job. The bathroom will flood and you could see that the shower wasn’t cleaned properly before our arrival as there was a hair stuck in the shower head.

Perfect location. Every ruins is within 10 min walk. Love the roof terrace where you can see the acropolis. So many good restaurants within minutes of walking. Nice bakery ans a bazaar market right behind the hotel. The room was very small. The shower was 2x2 only. So if you are a big person, it won’t work for you. WiFi is slow. Great ac.

This was a great budget hotel in the centre of Athens, a 20 minute walk from the Parthenon. The bar and restaurant on the main floor was excellent and the rooftop breakfast terrace with a view of the acropolis was lovely. Parking consisted of a couple of spots on the street right out front of the hotel. The room was small and simple, but clean with good air conditioning and functional modern washroom with shower. The staff were friendly and helpful.

I can’t tell you to stay away from this place more. Front desk was very sweet and helpful but that was the only good thing. Rooms are tiny and the noise was unbearable. The church bell goes off every half hour throughout the night. Also a bus playing festival music went by every hour in the night. Room above seemed to be playing musical chairs all night long. We maybe got 20 mins of sleep before we had to fly out. If you want to sleep don’t stay here. Beds were also very old and room was dusty.

We enjoyed out stay at the Metropolis Hotel Athens. Small, basic, clean hotel with great charm. We booked 4 nights before a cruise and one night after before we flew home. It can get a bit noisey from the restaurants on the street for a few hrs but this is something the hotel has no control. The location and being able to walk to Plaka, the Acropolis, shopping, public transit, Syntagma Square and restaurants was so convenient. Even when we would get lost in the narrow streets of Plaka just look up and find the cross on the church which was across the street from hotel is how we found our way back

Couple's stay in Plaka

This hotel more or less did what it said on the tin. The rooms are very small, but fit a lot of functionality in, much like a tiny home. Not much space to open up a suitcase though, which was our main issue, so we had to move the desk to the side a bit. The views from the front-facing rooms are great, both of the nearby church and sometimes a peak at the Erechtion (Acropolis). Even if the room views don't show you enough, it has a rooftop area which always has a good view, a very nice touch. This rooftop doubles as the breakfast area, though we didn't use it as we found a tasty artisinal bakery very nearby (72H).
