Herodion Hotel
A very well-located hotel, at the foot of the Acropolis and a short walk from the Akropoli metro station. It boasts a beautiful rooftop terrace on the 5th floor with a magnificent view of the Acropolis, and an outdoor Jacuzzi on the 4th floor.
The communal areas are perfect for relaxation, featuring spacious sofas and chess or backgammon games. We especially appreciate the atrium, a restaurant under a glass roof adorned with trees, offering a serene atmosphere.
As for the rooms, they’re not very big but they’re clean, functional and modern. All are equipped with Coco-Mat mattresses. Triple and quadruple rooms are available for families.
Very good value for money.

Hotel Athens Gate
This hotel is located opposite the Temple of Zeus and Hadrian’s Gate, on busy Siggrou Avenue, 200 meters from the Akropoli metro station.
The other rooms face the back of the hotel and do not offer a view but provide a quieter atmosphere. Additionally, the staff is friendly.
As a bonus, the bar-restaurant at the top of the hotel (where breakfast is served) offers an exceptional view of the Temple of Zeus on one side and the Acropolis on the other.

A luxurious destination just steps away from the Acropolis. This elegant hotel is ideally situated on the pedestrian street adjacent to the Acropolis, only 150 meters from the Akropoli metro station. It’s challenging to find a hotel closer to the Acropolis!
Refined, designer decor, rooftop overlooking the Acropolis, spacious, beautifully furnished rooms, some with views of the Acropolis.
A great place to treat yourself!

Acropolis Hill Hotel
If you’re seeking a hotel near the Acropolis, note that this one is slightly more “off-center” than others, nestled at the foot of Filopappou Hill, a ten-minute walk from the Akropoli metro station. The streets ascend to reach it. However, the advantage lies in its quiet, less touristy location. Additionally, prices are very reasonable.
This hotel was recently built. It is functional, clean and comfortable. And its big plus: an outdoor swimming pool surrounded by a small sun terrace. The hotel is also one of the few in Athens to welcome disabled guests.
Good value for money.

- Metro: Sigrou-Fix or Akropoli (line 2 – red)
- Price: from €70/night
