Centrotel is a clean and friendly two-pearl budget hotel in a not-so-great neighborhood in Athens. Young couples looking to save money and stay near the Victoria metro station choose this hotel for its spacious rooms (some with nice balconies and whirlpool tubs) and helpful staff.

But the rates here are super affordable -- the slightly more sophisticated (and nearby) Areos Hotel costs a bit more for the same vibe and features.
