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.

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.

I am very grateful for having stayed at Evripides for 5 days with my family as it surpassed our expectations. The recently renovated rooms on floors 4-6 were spacious, clean, modern and had comfortable mattresses, A/C, safe, hot power shower, TV and balcony. It was cleaned daily. The restaurant where breakfast is served is amazing, located on the 7th floor with views of the Acropolis and the surrounding neighbourhood. Excellent Greek and Continental breakfast. It also opens for dinner as a bar and offering light bites (pizza, sandwiches). I also made use of the decent fitness room in the basement floor where there were two good treadmills. The location is on the edge of tourist areas and a short walk to Monastiraki square with plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants within 5-10 minute walk - excellent restaurant Karamanlidika two blocks away. It looks like an area in transformation (gentrification?) as many old buildings are being renovated for hotels and apartments. The cherry on the cake was the staff, always extremely friendly. Special thanks to the couple running the breakfast and Sara at the reception. We would surely stay again!

Nothing bad to note

Everything it was a great place for the value. We stayed there for 3 nights. I have stayed in 3 star hotels, this one was so much better. The room was very clean and comfortable. The receptionist the one with black curly hair was the best of all. She spoiled us I really like her. The shower was great! Our room had a small balcony with a very good view. Also, the rooftop and the restaurant had an amazing view. The breakfast was very good for the price and you can eat quite well. The desserts wet the best! Also, in general the personnel from the restaurant, the bar and front desk were awesome. We had to catch a ferry very early in the morning and they prepared us a much to go to the port, which I did not expected that was super nice on them. I really like the place you receive quite a lot for the money place. You are 5 or 6 minutes away from the downtown. The room is as described in the photo. We are definitely coming back.

Just be aware that you have to walk around 9 minutes from the metro station but nothing that you can’t do… for me was not much time to be honest. Also, that I couldn’t book for one more night for the weekend because it was fully booked haha I guess many people agree with me the place is quite good.

Very clean room. Comfortal bed with extra pillows available in closet and duvet cover used (instead of a sheet under a duvet). 24 hour receptionist. Excellent location, very close to Monastiraki square (7 min walk). Free luggage storage in an unlocked area. Several paid lockers available for 2 euros (no time limit). Also paid luggage weight available (I did not use). The best part, amazing top floor breakfast area with floor to ceiling glass window. A good spread of breakfast items, including boiled eggs, bread slices, cheese pastries, cereals, juices from a machine, decent coffee, yummy Greek yogurt, oranges, ham slices, cheese slices and fresh Greek salad ingredients (cucumber, tomato, olives, feta cheese). A lovely breakfast buffet to start one's day.

Our room by the elevators can be noisy despite the owner posted a sign asking people to be quiet when waiting for the elevator. We had the misfortune to be woken up when a group of family was leaving around 7:30 am. We thought there were kids racing in the hallway, judging by the sound... Not the owner's fault. The room was quiet again for a few hours until house keeping started cleaning around check out time (12pm). Overall, a wonderful accomodation to stay. Just ask for a room at the end of the hallway, instead of in the middle (by the elevator) if you are sensitive to sound and like to sleep in on your holiday.

All aff are very helpful and they dealt with requests to my satisfaction. Buffet breakfast is lovely, with fabulous views from the room in the 7th floor. Climb the stairs to the rooftop terrace on the 8th floor and enjoy amazing views in the open air. Central location is very convenient for accessing the hugh number of amazing attractions nearby. A lovely clean hotel!

This is a busy, bustling, noisy, central Athens location. If you're a very light sleeper like me and unaccustomed to big cities, I recommend avoiding rooms on lower floors and rooms close to the corner of the street.

We had a really nice three night stay here for a long weekend in Athens. The staff are very warm and friendly, and happy for a chat. The free breakfast was simple but delicious, you don’t need much more than some bread and salads and yoghurt, and it kept us full for a day of wandering Athens. And we loved the rooftop with a view of the Acropolis! The location is a bit rough around the edges but we felt safe walking at night and it’s very close to a lot of good bars and restaurants. Our room was very simple and no frills, but it’s very affordable and everything else the hotel has to offer makes such value for money.
