How can I get cheap hotels in Athens?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Athens

If you're looking to travel to Athens on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $79. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $235. Staying a short amount of time in Athens is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.
When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Athens, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.
When booking cheap hotel rooms in Athens, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.
When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Athens, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

Top Athens Hotel Reviews

The Stanley

President Hotel Athens

8/10 Good

"Penta pool and restaurant was excellent view. AC is probably be little cooler. But overall all good."

Athenaeum InterContinental by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is in the top 3 in Athens. Fantastic hotel and staff"

Hotel Avra by Smile hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, we had a very good 1-night stay after arriving from London to catch our ferry the next morning out of the Rafina port. May be not the hotel's issue, but some signage for the hotel shuttle in the shuttle lot would be helpful to know where to meet the shuttle. FYI - the shuttle runs on every hour on the half hour so 9:30, not 9:00. But the complimentary shuttle from the airport to the hotel was convenient. While the front desk lady was not very friendly, the room was a good size for our family of 3 with a clean room and bathroom. The complimentary breakfast buffet was surprisingly good and more than sufficient. The location to the Rafina port was very close and took about 5 minutes even with rolling our luggage. Side note - the Rafina port was so much easier to deal with than Piraeus which is the major port and crowded."
