7.6 out of 10, Good, (17 reviews)
"Acropolis View Dream Hostel turned out to be a really pleasant surprise and a great base for exploring Athens. The rooms were simple but clean, the shared kitchen and common areas made it easy to chat with other travelers, and the rooftop terrace with the Acropolis in the distance was the highlight of every evening. The neighbourhood felt busy and a bit rough at first, but after a day I appreciated how convenient it was for cheap food and transport, and I ended up really enjoying the atmosphere...

Divani Palace Acropolis

Divani Palace Acropolis

10/10 Excellent
"Loved everything. Room was large with lots of storage. Situated on a quiet courtyard with small balcony and Acropolis view. Comfortable bed, nice bathroom, mini fridge, espresso machine. Staff was great. Rooftop restaurant/bar had excellent food and a magnificent view of Acropolis. Lovely pool and outdoor dining area in courtyard. Good service and snacks in bar. Great buffet breakfast daily. Nothing to complain about at all. Everything was great."
