Top hotels in Exarcheia
PAME Wild
This is a pretty basic hotel. It is rather new but simple. Our room 103 had no proper or enough lighting. We were unable to sleep because the room was sprayed with an extremely strong odor. Value for money is very low considering how basic and barely comfortable this place is.

COLORS Hotel Athens
Enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The staff was welcoming, nice and helpful with suggestions and assistance. The rooms were clean and nice. The only issue I had was the shower that had no cortin and each shower the room and everything in it was wet.

Great hotel, beautiful view of acropolis. Breakfast had great variety. However, its is about 10-15min drive to top tourist spots.

The Stanley
Pool area and rooftop restaurant were great. Room were tired and needed a refresh. Breakfast was ok, not a big choice and many tables were left uncleared after guests had left.

Sofitel Athens Airport
The property and staff service was excellent. Breakfast bar provided good options. I found it difficult to modify my reservation via Expedia. It was cumbersome and not convenient.
