The 26-room Hotel Athinaikon is a one-and-a-half-pearl, no-frills property best suited to travelers who don’t need much besides a bed to sleep in at night. All rooms have air-conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, and flat-screen TVs, but little else of note. On-site features include free Wi-Fi and a basic breakfast buffet served across the street (for a fee). The hotel's strongest selling point could be its location, walking distance to major attractions like the Roman Agora, but the streets around the property can feel gritty. For about the same price, the nearby Evripides Hotel is a better choice, with a more modern design, a gym, a sauna, free parking, and a rooftop bar.
