This hotel was a fantastic surprise and an absolute gem. I find some of the negative reviews hard to understnad. The location is ideal—right on the edge of the old town, so you’re close to the action without being all the noise and crowds. We stayed in a superior room, which felt brand new—stylish, well-furnished, with a fridge and a modern bathroom and an excellent shower. The bed and pillows were genuinely comfortable, and the small balcony with a view of the Acropolis was perfect for unwinding. One standout for me was the cleanliness, great in a way that many similar hotels just don’t manage. But the real highlight? The rooftop terrace and breakfast room. The vibe is relaxed and uplifting, with great energy. The terrace is open 24/7, and you’re free to bring your own drinks—ideal for watching the sunrise, sunset, or enjoying the city lights. Breakfast went above expectations. It’s more than just the usual continental —everything was fresh and well-prepared. Warm boiled eggs (rare!), fresh bread straight from the oven, juicy kiwis, flavorful cheeses, hummus, and savory pies. If I had to nitpick: coffee options were basic. A cappuccino or a traditional Greek coffee would’ve been great. And the packed breakfast we received on our early departure day was a letdown—a sad little sandwich and a bottle of water. But neither of those points are deal-breakers. The staff were warm, helpful, and consistently kind—at both the front desk and breakfast area. Bottom line: If you’re headed to Athens, this hotel is 100% worth booking. Central, peaceful, clean, and full of thoughtful details that make your stay feel elevated.

The location of the hotel was nice, really close to the nicest places in Athens. The hotel was clean, and the staff really kind and helpful. We had the check out before 7 A.M , so they prepared us breakfast to go.

The room was very hot and humid. And unfortunately, the AC was an old one that could not be properly set up to have a certain temperature or sleep mode, so we kind of struggled with the heat, could not get a proper sleep. But I am sure if we have asked the reception to do something, or to change the room, I am sure they would have accommodated us.

We did alot of research and are so happy we stayed here at the evripides hotel, it is a haven of peace and comfort in a big busy city, the location is perfect for walking all around athens, athens is actually not a big city and everything you want to see is an easy walk. The building is practical and functional with a terrific lobby , toilets and safe luggage storage before checkin, the staff are all amazing people, generous, happy, professional , flexible, really genuine greek lovely people thank you to them all at reception and the breakfast team and also to the hard working housekeeping ladies, the room was spotless clean and well equipped. we booked an acropolis room view on the 6th floor huge balcony and totally recommended for the best views in town especially in the early morning watching the lights and having a cup of tea. we loved the design of the rooms modern, functional, spacious, bed amazing and linen good quality. Typical traditional greek breakfast boiled eggs/ beautiful fresh bread/ biggest tomatoes you have ever seen , cheeses, juice et olives and hommous.thank you to the hotel staff for making our stay in Athens memorable

nothing we loved it all

Absolutely loved this hotel. The hotel room was nicely renovated, modern, clean, spacious, good mattress, quiet a/c - small balcony, sun/light blocking curtains. The staff are lovely, breakfast on level 7 has view of acropolis, plenty of space, good spread of food, fruits,breads, toaster, cheeses, meats, cereal etc it’s fresh and topped up. Staff there are so friendly and helpful nothing is too much trouble. The location seems seedy but as a solo woman no issues at all, I liked the location able to walk everywhere or hotel call a taxi and relay location in Greek. Large a/c sitting area on ground floor. I have stayed in at least 10 hotels in last 3 months in this budget range and I didn’t want to leave here. Stayed 5 nights.

There was nothing to not like my only coffee addiction would like a cappuccino option on the coffee machine.

Smallish but well designed and renovated room on 6th floor with a large corner balcony and spectacular views to the Acropolis. Quiet space, comfy bed and very good shower. Friendly and helpful staff. Great rooftop and bar, also with spectacular views of Acropolis and city. Great breakfasts. Good location as there are many restaurants and bars within easy walking distance, and easy to walk to tourist sights, too. The neighbourhood has a grungy feel but we liked that and felt very safe and comfortable walking around after dark. No issues.

Nothing. We enjoyed our stay.

Great clean room , good size , lovely bed linen, good a/c. Small balcony enough to sit out with view of Acropolis!! Breakfast excellent , fresh and plenty of choice. The breakfast room and roof top terrace are what makes this hotel. Fantastic views of Acropolis and Athens . Location great for metro , eateries. and music .

The reception is very basic and gives a poor first impression of the hotel overall . The hotel is so much more than the reception indicates.

This is a great hotel in the Psyri area of Athens which has a nice village feel even though it's bustling and right in the middle of the city only a 20.minute walk from the Acropolis and 10 minutes from Monistiraki Square. The room was spacious and clean with proper wardrobe and very good Aircon. Bed was king-size and very comfortable Breakfast was great with lots of choice and excellent views across to the Acropolis Of an evening it doubles as a bar and it was great to sit on the roof terrace with a glass of wine Staff were very friendly and helpful and were on reception 24 hrs. There are loads of great bars and tavernas on the doorstep and live music in the square It's easy to get to with a train from the airport to Monistiraki station then a 10 minute walk

The Psyri area looks a bit run down and pavements are sometimes blocked by tables while.the streets are quite narrow so not ideal if you have mobility issues It is a vibrant area though and didn't feel unsafe It worked out at £60 per night B&B for 2 people so a real bargain

We stay at Evripides everytime we are in Athens. The staff is wonderful. Always helpful for all our needs with a big smile. Everything is spotless clean and the beds are very comfortable. We enjoy having a drink in the evening in the rooftop lounge that overlooks the Acropolis. The breakfast is served there as well, and is very generous with more selections than you can imagine. Its the best we have had anywhere.They also offer pizza, greek salad and a few more options in the evening. Evripides is our go to Hotel in Athens. We are looking forward to returning. Thank you to all the staff! John and Katerina Sobol

Everything is Amazing

Evripides has an amazing location, wonderful views from the rooftop area,and breakfast is really good. The hotel is very near of everything shops ,restaurants, acropolis etc, no need for a taxi all walking distance, perfect place to be. Room was good & clean maybe I will say that what it was missing in our room which it was an upgraded room (fifth floor all renovated) was a couple of bottles of water, kettle with some saches of coffee & tea sugar etc also an iron & iron board, there’ is an iron in reception if you ask for it but you have to take it back as soon as you finish no iron board was given.

The hotel was very central and only a short walk to the main area. It was quite basic however it was clean and excellent value for money. The beds were comfortable and the room was a good size. There was a view of the acropolis from both our room and balcony and the breakfast room. I actually couldn’t fault this hotel for value for money.

When we arrived the area looked a little run down, but actually it wasn’t and was only a very short walk away from the centre. The room smelled slightly of cigarette smoke when we arrived, but this was sorted very quickly and we were offered another room, we chose not to take it but whilst we were out the room was thoroughly aired and we couldn’t smell it when we got back.
