Have you ever felt the anxiety of booking a hotel sight-unseen in an unfamiliar city? It’s really a gamble and it takes some time and effort to research each potential hotel in order to make a more informed decision.
The ancient city of Athens is magical, combining ancient ruins and modern style. With over four million people it can be an intimidating place to travel, but Athens offers visitors a warm and open hospitality that quickly puts you at ease.

Acropolis Hill is the center of the action for tourists with the hilltop complex including the Parthenon, and the artsy, quaint Plaka district. There are many hotels on the main roads and tucked away into the backstreets of this area. Here are just a few found on hoteldealsite.com that provide great service at a great value.
All of these hotels are a short 5 to 10 minute walk from the Acropolis and the Plaka district. Subway access, a safe and convenient way to travel around Athens, is also only a short walk from each hotel.
The Phillipos
The family-owned Phillipos hotel is a medium-sized hotel for the area, with 50 rooms and suites, including larger family rooms to accommodate families with children
The decor is modern and elegant and the rooms are spacious and comfortable, many with large balconies. Some rooms have gorgeous views of Acropolis Hill and at night this makes for a special site.
Breakfast is included and coffee and lite snacks are served throughout the day in the bright and comfortable café located in the main lobby.
The Phillipos is located away from busy streets in a cute little neighborhood which quickly makes you feel that you are home.
The Divani Palace
The Divani Palace is a part of a larger chain but retains a boutique atmosphere. The hotel has 250 rooms on seven floors. Rooms are clean and comfortable and the hotel offers all of the modern amenities such as air-conditioning and wireless Internet.
The lobby is spacious, with many seating areas, a restaurant and a bar. Summer visitors can take advantage of the pool and poolside drinks, a rarity in an inner-city hotel.
Breakfast is included and consists of quite a large buffet of just about anything you could want from bacon and eggs to Greek yogurt with jam.
The Acropolis Select Hotel
The Acropolis Select Hotel has six floors and 72 rooms and has undergone a recent renovation. The hotel and rooms are modern and stylish, some with balconies.
While there may not be the Acropolis views that some other hotels have, the Acropolis Select Hotel is clean and modern, offering free breakfast with some rates and an onsite bar and restaurant. The fresh and inviting lobby is a wonderful place to relax after a long day of sight-seeing.
The major sites, as well as the metro, are located a short 10 minute walk from the hotel.
