“Location, location, location.”

The hotel is centrally located 100 yds from the main square and very near dozens of restaurants. It is also within very easy walking distance of all the major tourist sites in Athens and I would recommend it highly for those reasons. We took the bus from the airport into Athens and it dropped us almost next door to the hotel. The hotel seems to be used by school parties but the administration keeps them on one floor and us on another. It is priced in the low range but it does include a very good choice of different foods for breakfast. A minor concern: the one lift from lobby is tiny tiny holding barely 2 people. I would recommend this hotel for couples or students looking for a cheaply priced, quiet hotel, in the heart of the older part of the city. It does come with free internet.

“Would Return There In A Heartbeat !!”

The hotel staff were very knowledgeable regarding every aspect of our traveling requests including: restaurants, taxis, municipal transit, local sights, etc. The location of the hotel couldn't have been better. We were only 1 block from Syntagma Square in the center of Athens. All of the major transportation links like the Metro subway, the Muni buses, and the City Tour buses are centered at the Square. Also in easy walking distance of many eating, shopping, and historical areas. The Arethusa was recommended by a friend who lives in Athens, and is highly recommended by me !!

“Super central hotel”

A great hotel, which is so convenient for exploring Athens. I only stayed for one night, but found it easy to get to the Acropolis and Plaka (both within a 5/10 min walk). It was also a couple of minutes walk from Syntama Square and the links to the airport. All in all a great hotel, ideal for what I needed (a stopover before flying out of Athens airport). Also the breakfast was pretty good too...

“Excellent location - couldn't do better for the price”

This hotel was brilliantly located - just down the hill from the bus stop from the airport and very central just off Syntagma Square. A short walk to the Plaka, the main shopping street was the next one over and the Acropolis and many fabulous ruins and museums etc were very close too. We could to everywhere we wanted to go from here. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the staff were friendly and helpful - what more could you want from a hotel. Bear in mind it is not flash - maybe a 3 star hotel, but excellent location and value for the price. We liked it so much we booked to stay a second time when we returned from the islands.

“Can only recommend it!”

A nice hotel, central in Athens. Close to metro and in walking distant to many tourist actrations.

“Great location, not so great hotel”

I suppose you get what you pay for. The hotel is very affordable, which is a big plus if you're travelling on a budget. It is also mere steps from Syntagma Square, making it a great location. However, the rooms were underwhelming and the internet didn't work. Even the TV remote didn't quite function. If you're looking for a nice hotel to stay in, pay more for a better one. If you're just looking for somewhere to sleep at night after a day of touring around, then the hotel isn't actually that bad for the price.

“Excellent location”

This hotel has the best location, right in the city centre, within walking distance to all the major attractions in Athens. 40 minutes from the airport by tube (metro), €8 for a single trip to Syntagma. But don't expect too much when you step in! My room was furnished poorly, old furniture, TV on top of mini fridge, bathroom is really basic with shower only. Walls must be thin, you can hear your neighbours... Dining area is nice, breakfast was OK. No computer / no internet in the lounge area. Stay here for the location, it's good enough to sleep here for 2-3 nights, if noises from outside don't disturb you, but do not be disappointed with the quality.
