A mid-range hotel with 38 rooms over five stories, Tropical Hotel is advertised as being a beachfront hotel, but in fact, a busy six-lane road separates the hotel from the pebbly sand. Thankfully, the traffic noise doesn’t travel to the bedrooms as the windows are double-glazed. The on-site pool is tiny, but the spacious terrace is a real highlight. A good 30 minutes from the city center of Syntagma Square by public transport, this property is better suited for beach dwellers than city slickers. That said, it’s only a few tram stops away from the trendy district of Glyfada, where there’s a sea turtle rescue center and a plethora of cool restaurants.
