9.4/10 Exceptional! (224 reviews)
Excellent stay at this hotel, my only regret is that I couldn’t stay longer!! It’s located in the heart of Athens and is in a great location; you’re across the street basically from Plaka, and about a 15 min walk from the Acropolis. I was able to take the X95 express bus straight from the airport (it’s about an hour ride, but so is a taxi) hop off at the last stop, and this hotel is only about a 10 minute walk away.
The rooms are very clean, and the staff are excellent and incredibly helpful. We were unable to go to dinner on the hotel rooftop bar (would recommend making a dinner reservation if you plan on going there, we made that mistake thinking we just could walk in during a busy night), but the staff recommended us to try a nearby restaurant 360 that was FABULOUS (and within walking distance)! I really can’t recommend this spot enough, and on my next trip, I do plan on staying here in the future.

Nice lobby but rooms are ordinary, nothing special for the price. Phone in room didn’t seem to work causing me to have to go to the front desk twice for a blanket that was not delivered the first time. Overall decent hotel, but didn’t seem worth what I paid for it.

Marathon Holiday
Marathon Beach Holiday
Fresh sea air and beautiful coastal views are just the start of things you can look forward to during your Marathon holiday. If you're eager to save on your trip to Marathon, here's a tip — opt for one of our Marathon packages. Lock in one near Marathon Beach, just 6 kilometres from the city centre and a popular place to base yourself. Alternatively, pick a package that puts you closer to Schinias Beach, another impressive stretch of coast. Either way, you'll be left with extra dollars in your holiday budget to play with.
