How can I get cheap hotels in Athens?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Athens

  1. 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 $62. 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 $160. Staying a short amount of time in Athens is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

10/10 Excellent
"Robyn at the front desk made our stay top rated. The hotel is beat up but she made us feel welcomed, and suggested great places for dinner that we walked to. When we came back she made sure we had everything we needed. She deserves a bonus/raise. Best concierge servicer ever. Thank you!"

"Friendly front desk staff. Adequate breakfast. The room was adequately clean and comfortable. Rooms do not have a fridge or microwave but one is available in lobby. Could benefit from a little update in halls (Paint/carpet) but the rooms were fine and the stay was quiet and decent.Walkable distance to most Lincoln sites. Overall, happy with the stay. Parking was easy."
