Hotels in Athens
Accommodation in Athens has improved and prices have inevitably increased accordingly. During the tourist season, from May to October, it is necessary to book in advance and because prices are raising.
Cheap hotels and hostels in Athens are grouped into neighborhoods around Omonia Square. The neighborhood is not always well attended, fauna marginal engages in various traffics, however assault and theft are virtually nonexistent in Athens, is one of the safest cities in Europe, so no reason to be afraid .
We do not recommend to chose a small hotel around Omonia, they are not always clean and some of them are used to bring girls.
The only official youth hostel of Athens is located in this district, odos Victor Hugo, the hostel is very nice and not too expensive, about 17 euros per night.
Other parts of Athens offer better hotels. More you get closer to the Acropolis and Plaka more the hotels are good and expensive. Near the Acropolis we recommend, Acropolis hotel, about 80 euros per night.
For a higher fee, we recommend The Athens Gate Hotel, located on Sygrou Avenue, not far from the Acropolis, it offers an excellent service and costs around 150 euros per night.
Down in price, the hotel Exarchion is also appreciated by travelers, it is located in the district of Exarchia.
