Lock in a great price for Phidias Hotel – rated 8.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

The location was fantastic - very close to the subway (Thissio), the Agora & Acropolis. Very safe walking the streets during day & evening/night. The staff were very accommodating and helpful. The buffet breakfast had lots of fresh, filling choices that would suit many preferences. Definitely would go back.

Paul, Canada

Very good location for visiting the Acropolis and surrounding Roman sites.

Location!!! Right on the walking-street that connects all the cozy restaurants and bars to the acropolis hill. If you like walking like me you have everything right outside. Turn left to go to Thissio, plaka, monastiraki etc. Syntagma square takes about 25 minutes to walk to and has airport buss, tram to the beach etc. Turn right to walk to acropolis, museums and parks. Dont miss catching a concert at the Odeum.. its unforgettable. Hotel is clean, has great staff and balcony door has surprisingly good sound isolation. Having breakfast outside is a great way to start the day (ask for scrambled eggs :D). Leave your key at the front desk when you want your room cleaned. Walking around athens I realized how incredibly lucky I was to choose this hotel. Chilling on the balcony, long midday showers or a spontaneous midnight walk to acropolis.. this place was perfect.

This hotel is on a perfect position on Athens: on a pedestrian road near to the parthenon and to the main attraction of Athens.

Marco, Italy

Location is excellent with all major tourist attractions within walking distance. The staff were friendly and the included breakfast was good. The family room we had was at the back of the hotel and hence no road noice. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. We tried the food in the restaurant to the left of the hotel ( a place called senso) and quite liked it. I would recommend the club sandwiches and Greek Mohito!

Robin, Ireland

Phidias Hotel was fantastic, the staff were so friendly, the location was great, views to the acropolis, markets, restaurants and cafes and bars in the street in the nice part of town. They arranged the airport pick up, on of the bear we've had. We left early on the last day to go to the port for a ferry to the Greek islands and they even packed us each a breakfast to take on the ferry. I would stay here again for sure 😊

눉The directions from the subway station were confusing ( got lost initially & went in the wrong direction - nothing major, just no fun dragging luggage around in the heat for an extra 20-3₩ minutes. When you leave Thissio station, walk up the cobblestone street, with the iron park fence on your left. 3-5 minutes you'll see the hotel on your right.
눇The location was fantastic - very close to the subway (Thissio), the Agora & Acropolis. Very safe walking the streets during day & evening/night. The staff were very accommodating and helpful. The buffet breakfast had lots of fresh, filling choices that would suit many preferences. Definitely would go back.

눉The first night we were put into the most tiny room - enough room for the bed and that's it. It was stuffy and very unpleasant. Thankgod we were moved to a lovely room with a street balcony for our next two nights. I think we should have been told before we arrived about our room - and I cannot see how you can charge the same rate as the nicer rooms.
눇Friendly hotel with a welcoming street frontage.

눉The enclosure door for the shower was broken when were arrived. Apparently the family before us had broken it and instead of warning us about it the staff let us find out for ourselves! Sadly they only have one family room and so no could not change rooms. The staff also 'requested' us to settle the room charge with cash. I can only presume this is to avoid tax and could not help wonder if this is one of the reasons making the economic situation in Greece worse!
눇Location is excellent with all major tourist attractions within walking distance. The staff were friendly and the included breakfast was good. The family room we had was at the back of the hotel and hence no road noice. The room was clean and bed was comfortable.
