Acropolis Magenta
Location of the hotel was convenient. Close to the Acropolis and many different bars and restaurants. Rooms were clean and spacious. The hotel was in the the process of being renovated so it was loud occasionally but overall would stay there again

Athens Studios
This was such a great location. We walked around the acropolis park and enjoyed the local cafes and restaurants very much. I wouldn't want to stay in any other part of the city. Our room was a double; quite small but very affordable for the location.
