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

to get started.

Access from the Metro is easy, via a short walk. The ride to or from the airport is €10 per person or €18 for two, it takes a little over an hour. The location close to the Acropolis is excellent, the hotel is in a pedestrian zone with minimal car traffic, there are many cafés and restaurants with outdoor seating in the area, many with view of the Acropolis, which is lit at night, very beautiful. There is a nice street café downstairs. The breakfast is extensive, and includes eggs, fresh orange juice, and many kinds of coffee on request. The service in the hotel was very good, the receptionist even booked a tour for us around midnight for the next day, after he was already off work.

The hotel is perfectly located within sight of the Acropolis and walking distance of some amazing bars and restaurants. It is a small place, but very welcoming, clean, comfortable with friendly staff. We stayed as a 'stop over' on our way to Corfu due to flight times etc. The Hotel arranged for a local taxi company to collect and return us to the airport, which is some 45mins away. A must if you are only staying for the one night.

John, Romania

The staff was simply amazing and they made our stay out of this world. We were completely unfamiliar with Athens and there are a lot of options out there for lodging. Luckily, we picked the IDEAL location to see everything we wanted to see - all within a short walk from the hotel. We had a quiet room sized perfectly for families and a delicious breakfast every morning outside on the veranda. This stay far exceeded my expectations and I would HIGHLY recommend the Phidias for anyone traveling to Athens. AMAZING!!

Happy, United States of America

Excellent location, good breakfast but fresh orange juice would have been nice. Room impeccably clean and in pristine condition. Staff very friendly.

Magdy, Saudi Arabia

The location was EXCELLENT (8 minutes to Acropolis and 5 minutes to outskirts of Monistirki. Even better was the front desk and restaurant staff. The breakfast we had were excellent; seriously recommend the omelette and coffee. When we had issues with one of the rooms the staff worked to fix the problem. The wifi was excellent.

“Nice Boutique Hotel in great location, but ask for a room with a balcony”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉The property listing on booking.com states: 'Phidias rooms have a private balcony with city or garden views'. Room numbers 101 and 102 are under a retractable awning, with no balcony. That's not too helpful if you enjoy watching people go by while sitting on a balcony with a beautiful view, sipping a glass of wine. So, avoid these rooms!!!
눇Access from the Metro is easy, via a short walk. The ride to or from the airport is €10 per person or €18 for two, it takes a little over an hour. The location close to the Acropolis is excellent, the hotel is in a pedestrian zone with minimal car traffic, there are many cafés and restaurants with outdoor seating in the area, many with view of the Acropolis, which is lit at night, very beautiful.

“Short visit to see Acropolis”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Quadruple Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉We are a family of 4 with small children and had booked a "Quadruple room". Upon arrival, we found they only had ONE room like this and it was already occupied. We were placed in two separate rooms instead, which made regular daily activities complicated. This short trip was planned at the end of a long resort vacation, so it was a bit of a disappointment. Aside from the hotel (which under normal circumstances would be great), I should mention the summer weather in Athens is extremely hot. Don't forget the sun cream and LOTS OF WATER!
눇The hotel's location is ideal for walking to the typical tourist attractions. The rooms were modern and clean. The hotel staff was very friendly.

눉Rooms are on the small side but we did have 3 people in a 2 bedroom place and it is a major city.
눇Really great selection for breakfast. Location was perfect, close to a metro stop,short walk to the Acropolis, restaurants very close by and short walk into the rest of town.

“Our First Family Greek Vacation.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • 2 rooms
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉Things I was NOT happy with : (1) Air Conditioning would shutdown when we left then we came back it was a sauna (2) one night there would be loud music that lasted through the night but not from the property (3) the near by restaurants just south of the property were HORRIBLE food and service, go toward Monistriki and eat at DIAVLOS (www.diavlosathens.gr) or Saavas. The thing I hated - the room was never cleaned, fortunately, we brought extra towels. They never took out the trash for four days but we were later told this had to be specifically requested.
눇The location was EXCELLENT (8 minutes to Acropolis and 5 minutes to outskirts of Monistirki. Even better was the front desk and restaurant staff. The breakfast we had were excellent; seriously recommend the omelette and coffee. When we had issues with one of the rooms the staff worked to fix the problem. The wifi was excellent.

눉The price! Last September we stayed & paid about £90 per night. This time we paid more than £120 per night for a much inferior room! Layout in bathroom so poor it was extremely difficult to use the tiny sink at all.
눇Location is fantastic but I think prices have been hiked on basis of some good reviews & some rooms definitely not worth the price
