Awesome stay with a view
We booked a room with a balcony and Acropolis view. It did not disappoint! Amazing views from the balcony. This is exactly what we were looking for. The hotel staff is super friendly and always available. Would stay here again and recommend to everyone.

Excellent Location and Good Value
The location of the hotel was great, so close to everything. The rooftop terrace was a nice place to hang out. They serve breakfast up there in the morning. Beyond that there are no services but you can bring your own drinks up and enjoy the spectacular views. The rooms are no frills but they were clean and the price was right. The service was excellent.

Charming little hotel
This is a charming hotel with great staff in a very central location. While rooms are basic and the lift is very small, they are well equipped with fridge and hairdryer. I had a lovely balcony with a view of the cathedral and part of the acropolis which was an unexpected surprise. There is a breakfast room on the roof with great views too. Would return.

Metropolis Hotel was in a perfect location. Walkable to the acropolis and short distance to the metro. Super easy transfer via train and bus to airport by M3 and X95. Make sure to go to the 6th floor and get a gorgeous view of the church and acropolis

The room and bathroom are tiny as is the lift. It was very cold at night. We did not try the breakfast but probably should have as what we ate next door was awful and expensive. It is very clean, well situated, but very old fashioned.

Location, location, location
Family of four stayed for two nights. The location is amazing, and the front desk staff were beyond super friendly and helpful. Our private room balcony had a magnificent view and a made the tiny room feel much bigger. The bathroom was my only real slight issue. It is definitely in need of an upgrade. It just seemed a little dingy. But overall, we loved the location and our stay.
