The Athinais is an affordable hotel located literally around the corner from various sit-down eating places as well as walk-up
eateries serving Greek favorites. There is also a small grocery store nearby. The US Embassy, Megaro Moussiki entertainment hall, and a subway station are all in easy walking distance. The hotel's rooms are good-sized and the sleeping rooms as well as the bathrooms are kept clean and tidy by a very thorough maid staff. The beds are comfortable and the rooms have good sized closets, a room safe, and clever pieces of furniture that do double duty, such as the luggage rack with drawers beneath. Rooms also have a container to collect recyclables.
Depending on your reservation, breakfast may be included in your room rate and some rooms have balconies that face the highway but are still nice to take advantage of on a sunny day. I had to make two separate reservations but upon my arrival the hotel connected them so I would not have to check out and check back in mid-stay. There is also a small cafe operating near the lobby that serves coffee drinks and sandwiches. I highly recommend this bright, clean hotel and plan to stay again!
