This was a great budget hotel in the centre of Athens, a 20 minute walk from the Parthenon. The bar and restaurant on the main floor was excellent and the rooftop breakfast terrace with a view of the acropolis was lovely. Parking consisted of a couple of spots on the street right out front of the hotel. The room was small and simple, but clean with good air conditioning and functional modern washroom with shower. The staff were friendly and helpful.

I can’t tell you to stay away from this place more. Front desk was very sweet and helpful but that was the only good thing. Rooms are tiny and the noise was unbearable. The church bell goes off every half hour throughout the night. Also a bus playing festival music went by every hour in the night. Room above seemed to be playing musical chairs all night long. We maybe got 20 mins of sleep before we had to fly out. If you want to sleep don’t stay here. Beds were also very old and room was dusty.

We enjoyed out stay at the Metropolis Hotel Athens. Small, basic, clean hotel with great charm. We booked 4 nights before a cruise and one night after before we flew home. It can get a bit noisey from the restaurants on the street for a few hrs but this is something the hotel has no control. The location and being able to walk to Plaka, the Acropolis, shopping, public transit, Syntagma Square and restaurants was so convenient. Even when we would get lost in the narrow streets of Plaka just look up and find the cross on the church which was across the street from hotel is how we found our way back

Couple's stay in Plaka

This hotel more or less did what it said on the tin. The rooms are very small, but fit a lot of functionality in, much like a tiny home. Not much space to open up a suitcase though, which was our main issue, so we had to move the desk to the side a bit. The views from the front-facing rooms are great, both of the nearby church and sometimes a peak at the Erechtion (Acropolis). Even if the room views don't show you enough, it has a rooftop area which always has a good view, a very nice touch. This rooftop doubles as the breakfast area, though we didn't use it as we found a tasty artisinal bakery very nearby (72H).

The room was just what we needed for our trip. Close to everything. Plaka area which seems very safe. Beautiful view of acropolis and church. Staff was extremely nice. Shower was a little small but was expected. Would definitely stay here again.

Good location marred by noise level

Pros: Excellent location close to shops and Monastiraki metro station. Cons: The balcony door and window had no sound proofing at all ( room no 12 ). Right below it there are a few restaurants and the noise continued until the wee hours of the night. We couldn't get a wink of sleep. This is something the owners need to address on an urgent basis.
