Evripides Hotel

Very clean room. Comfortal bed with extra pillows available in closet and duvet cover used (instead of a sheet under a duvet). 24 hour receptionist. Excellent location, very close to Monastiraki square (7 min walk). Free luggage storage in an unlocked area. Several paid lockers available for 2 euros (no time limit). Also paid luggage weight available (I did not use). The best part, amazing top floor breakfast area with floor to ceiling glass window. A good spread of breakfast items, including boiled eggs, bread slices, cheese pastries, cereals, juices from a machine, decent coffee, yummy Greek yogurt, oranges, ham slices, cheese slices and fresh Greek salad ingredients (cucumber, tomato, olives, feta cheese). A lovely breakfast buffet to start one's day.

The hotel is just wonderful! First and foremost the nice and helpful staff (they even packed us breakfast to take for the flight!). The location is wonderful (about 5 minutes from one of the main squares, about 2 minutes from a Cute Square with charming taverns and cafes, and about 15 minutes from the Acropolis). The room itself is also lovely and very clean. The bed was very comfortable for us and we slept wonderfully every night! Breakfast was simple but good (several types of bread, one hard cheese, feta, some sausages, yogurt, chopped vegetables, and a little more). The most worthwhile part is to start the day with breakfast on a high floor with a wonderful view.

Location was perfect once familiar with the area. Only recommendation is that the direction to the hotel from Monastiriki train stn should state the exit we have to take to get out of the stn as the stn has various exits so unless you know the specific exit to take it can be rather confusing to get to the hotel. Location was close to major tourist attractions, restaurants, shops, local market and the overall area had a great atmosphere. The hotel rooms were large, clean and modern. Breakfast offerings were good being a continental breakfast and the dinner and drink prices if you wish to stay in the hotel in the evenings were very reasonable. There is also a small gym and sauna onsite too. Pre-arrival communication from the hotel was also good.

The Hotel is a gem located at the heart of Monastiraki, Athens. Best rooftop bar where you can see the sunset over the white roof tops and watch the Acropolis slowly come alight. Top location to visit many ancient historic sites and museums. Arriving during the day you walk past a variety of market stalls and wholesalers based on the street walk to the hotel. If you arrive in the evening, the street may appear somewhat seedy, but don't be fooled. The surroundings are lively and safe with local authentic restaurants and bars. The modern rooms are clean, soundproofed, and comfortable. Great breakfast spread on the rooftop with gorgeous views. The icing on the cake is the staff - very helpful and affable. You'll like this place :)

This hotel should at least be rated 3 stars, and was a great stay for us in Athens. I would recommend to anyone visiting Athens and wanting to visit the main attractions. Newly renovated interior meant the room was in pristine condition. Very tasteful decorations and comfortable beds, good linen, and a very nice bathroom and shower. Breakfast has great variety and was of good quality, it’s provided in their top floor restaurant which has a gorgeous view. Location is proximate to the big tourist attractions (5-10mins to ancient agora and hadrians library, 20 min walk to the Acropolis) and great restaurants. If you’re not used to a bit of grunge (graffiti etc.) you may take a while to adjust, but most of Athens is like this. The staff went out of their way to make our stay a great one!
