This two-star hotel suits travellers who prioritise location and guest ratings over luxury touches. The 9.0 score from 4,405 reviews suggests consistent service and cleanliness. Couples and solo travellers who plan to spend days exploring and want a reliable place to sleep will find good value here.
Skip it if you expect boutique decor, extensive facilities or a quiet retreat. The address is on Evripidou Street in the city centre, which can mean street noise, though the data does not confirm noise levels. Business travellers needing meeting rooms or families wanting interconnected suites should also consider other options.
Location and getting to the sights
The hotel stands in Athens City Centre at 79 Evripidou Street. Walking time to the Parthenon, Acropolis of Athens and Erechtheion is estimated at 13 minutes each, all within 1 kilometre. The location score is 9.1 out of 10.
Guests specifically mention walking distance to Monastiraki Square and the Plaka district. These are straight-line estimates; actual walking routes may take longer depending on your pace and the route. For sights beyond 30 minutes on foot, you will need public transport or a taxi, though specific lines are not confirmed in the data.
What guests say they liked
Travellers highlight the location. Being able to walk to Monastiraki Square, the Acropolis and Plaka without relying on transport is a major convenience. Guests also mention nearby restaurants, which is useful for finding dinner options.
The buffet breakfast is served on a rooftop terrace with views of the Acropolis. Guests note sweet and savory options are available. Breakfast type is listed as buffet; check whether it is included in your room rate or an optional extra.
No guest dislikes are recorded in the data, which is unusual and suggests either strong performance or that the property addresses issues quickly. The 9.0 score supports the first interpretation.
Price and how it compares with our other Athens picks
The reference price is €100.50 per night for 10 to 12 November 2026, two adults, one room. This is not a live quote; confirm the rate for your dates before booking.
For context, the sample median in Athens was €163.35 per night. Evripides is 52 percent below that median. Our Budget pick, Casual Kubic Athens, is €63.19 per night with a guest score of 8.3 from a four-star property. Our Luxury pick, The Pinnacle Athens, is €190.53 per night with a 9.5 score from a five-star property.
Evripides sits in the middle. You pay more than the Budget pick but get a higher guest score and a two-star property that punches above its formal rating. You pay roughly half the Luxury price for a score only 0.5 points lower. The rooftop breakfast terrace is not mentioned at the Budget pick, making it a tangible extra here.
Why it made our top 3 in Athens
We compared 14 properties in the provider sample. Evripides ranked joint sixth by guest review score. It was chosen as the Best Value pick because it balances guest score, number of reviews and reference price. It is not the cheapest option but offers more consistent quality than lower-priced hotels with fewer or weaker reviews.
The 4,405 reviews give a reliable picture of what to expect. The location score of 9.1 and the proximity to major sights mean less time and money spent on transport. The rooftop breakfast terrace adds a memorable element without a luxury surcharge.
