Diane United States of America

I request for higher floor was accommodated and we got a room with the view of the Acropolis. That was a huge perk especially for the last day of our Greek vacation. Breakfast was very generous with many options.

Vhe3 United States of America

It was a nice stay with excellent service and a honest concern for their guests.

Andrea Lebanon

The location is so very near to everything you expected as a tourist on a short stay or on a layover is worth that experience. Food, souvenirs & sight seeings of the ancient, old churches, old buildings & shops is just so near that my layover is worth to experience

Dahlia Singapore

The location is perfect. Walk to the palace to see the changing of the guard. Take the train around Athens for Euro 5. The room was a large. The shower on the small size. A friend had a bathroom with a tub. Elevator. Restaurants close by including the Greco Project across the street. Breakfast buffet includes eggs, meat, cheese, vegetables and much more.

Arethusa Hotel is centrally located next to Plaka, the scenic Old Town of Athens and stands within 150 feet from the Syntagma Metro Station. It has breakfast and air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi.

Simply yet tastefully decorated, all units come equipped with a TV and fridge. Each includes a private bathroom with hairdryer and bathtub or shower.

An breakfast buffet is served in the dining area of the Hotel Arethusa or in the guests’ rooms. Drinks and snacks are provided at the bar until late in the evening. The roof garden has sitting areas where guests can admire panoramic views of the Acropolis and the city of Athens.

The staff at the 24-hour front desk can arrange car rental and offer information on transportation and sights such as the Acropolis, a 15-minute walk away. Ermou Street with many shopping facilities is only 150 feet away.

This is our guests' favorite part of Athens, according to independent reviews.
