This hotel was a fantastic surprise and an absolute gem. I find some of the negative reviews hard to understnad. The location is ideal—right on the edge of the old town, so you’re close to the action without being all the noise and crowds. We stayed in a superior room, which felt brand new—stylish, well-furnished, with a fridge and a modern bathroom and an excellent shower. The bed and pillows were genuinely comfortable, and the small balcony with a view of the Acropolis was perfect for unwinding. One standout for me was the cleanliness, great in a way that many similar hotels just don’t manage. But the real highlight? The rooftop terrace and breakfast room. The vibe is relaxed and uplifting, with great energy. The terrace is open 24/7, and you’re free to bring your own drinks—ideal for watching the sunrise, sunset, or enjoying the city lights. Breakfast went above expectations. It’s more than just the usual continental —everything was fresh and well-prepared. Warm boiled eggs (rare!), fresh bread straight from the oven, juicy kiwis, flavorful cheeses, hummus, and savory pies. If I had to nitpick: coffee options were basic. A cappuccino or a traditional Greek coffee would’ve been great. And the packed breakfast we received on our early departure day was a letdown—a sad little sandwich and a bottle of water. But neither of those points are deal-breakers. The staff were warm, helpful, and consistently kind—at both the front desk and breakfast area. Bottom line: If you’re headed to Athens, this hotel is 100% worth booking. Central, peaceful, clean, and full of thoughtful details that make your stay feel elevated.

We did alot of research and are so happy we stayed here at the evripides hotel, it is a haven of peace and comfort in a big busy city, the location is perfect for walking all around athens, athens is actually not a big city and everything you want to see is an easy walk. The building is practical and functional with a terrific lobby , toilets and safe luggage storage before checkin, the staff are all amazing people, generous, happy, professional , flexible, really genuine greek lovely people thank you to them all at reception and the breakfast team and also to the hard working housekeeping ladies, the room was spotless clean and well equipped. we booked an acropolis room view on the 6th floor huge balcony and totally recommended for the best views in town especially in the early morning watching the lights and having a cup of tea. we loved the design of the rooms modern, functional, spacious, bed amazing and linen good quality. Typical traditional greek breakfast boiled eggs/ beautiful fresh bread/ biggest tomatoes you have ever seen , cheeses, juice et olives and hommous.thank you to the hotel staff for making our stay in Athens memorable

Great clean room , good size , lovely bed linen, good a/c. Small balcony enough to sit out with view of Acropolis!! Breakfast excellent , fresh and plenty of choice. The breakfast room and roof top terrace are what makes this hotel. Fantastic views of Acropolis and Athens . Location great for metro , eateries. and music .

This is a great hotel in the Psyri area of Athens which has a nice village feel even though it's bustling and right in the middle of the city only a 20.minute walk from the Acropolis and 10 minutes from Monistiraki Square. The room was spacious and clean with proper wardrobe and very good Aircon. Bed was king-size and very comfortable Breakfast was great with lots of choice and excellent views across to the Acropolis Of an evening it doubles as a bar and it was great to sit on the roof terrace with a glass of wine Staff were very friendly and helpful and were on reception 24 hrs. There are loads of great bars and tavernas on the doorstep and live music in the square It's easy to get to with a train from the airport to Monistiraki station then a 10 minute walk

We stay at Evripides everytime we are in Athens. The staff is wonderful. Always helpful for all our needs with a big smile. Everything is spotless clean and the beds are very comfortable. We enjoy having a drink in the evening in the rooftop lounge that overlooks the Acropolis. The breakfast is served there as well, and is very generous with more selections than you can imagine. Its the best we have had anywhere.They also offer pizza, greek salad and a few more options in the evening. Evripides is our go to Hotel in Athens. We are looking forward to returning. Thank you to all the staff! John and Katerina Sobol

Evripides has an amazing location, wonderful views from the rooftop area,and breakfast is really good. The hotel is very near of everything shops ,restaurants, acropolis etc, no need for a taxi all walking distance, perfect place to be. Room was good & clean maybe I will say that what it was missing in our room which it was an upgraded room (fifth floor all renovated) was a couple of bottles of water, kettle with some saches of coffee & tea sugar etc also an iron & iron board, there’ is an iron in reception if you ask for it but you have to take it back as soon as you finish no iron board was given.

The hotel was very central and only a short walk to the main area. It was quite basic however it was clean and excellent value for money. The beds were comfortable and the room was a good size. There was a view of the acropolis from both our room and balcony and the breakfast room. I actually couldn’t fault this hotel for value for money.

Everything it was a great place for the value. We stayed there for 3 nights. I have stayed in 3 star hotels, this one was so much better. The room was very clean and comfortable. The receptionist the one with black curly hair was the best of all. She spoiled us I really like her. The shower was great! Our room had a small balcony with a very good view. Also, the rooftop and the restaurant had an amazing view. The breakfast was very good for the price and you can eat quite well. The desserts wet the best! Also, in general the personnel from the restaurant, the bar and front desk were awesome. We had to catch a ferry very early in the morning and they prepared us a much to go to the port, which I did not expected that was super nice on them. I really like the place you receive quite a lot for the money place. You are 5 or 6 minutes away from the downtown. The room is as described in the photo. We are definitely coming back.

I am very grateful for having stayed at Evripides for 5 days with my family as it surpassed our expectations. The recently renovated rooms on floors 4-6 were spacious, clean, modern and had comfortable mattresses, A/C, safe, hot power shower, TV and balcony. It was cleaned daily. The restaurant where breakfast is served is amazing, located on the 7th floor with views of the Acropolis and the surrounding neighbourhood. Excellent Greek and Continental breakfast. It also opens for dinner as a bar and offering light bites (pizza, sandwiches). I also made use of the decent fitness room in the basement floor where there were two good treadmills. The location is on the edge of tourist areas and a short walk to Monastiraki square with plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants within 5-10 minute walk - excellent restaurant Karamanlidika two blocks away. It looks like an area in transformation (gentrification?) as many old buildings are being renovated for hotels and apartments. The cherry on the cake was the staff, always extremely friendly. Special thanks to the couple running the breakfast and Sara at the reception. We would surely stay again!

Absolutely everything!! Especially the Magnificent Sara from reception, and the staff at the Rooftop bar. As you may know, this wasn’t our first stay at the Evripides Hotel & it keeps getting better each time we visit! The rooms are HUGE, clean, filled with vibrant colors, and the beautiful views from the balcony. I have to address and give additional praise to the lovely Sara. She really went out of her way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Furthermore, My girlfriend at the time of the stay was feeling quite ill, and we were met with the highest level of care and hospitality as possible. We will definitely be back to visit, Thank you so much for everything! See you soon ;)
