The Victory Inn is a charming, value hotel with 34 rooms on a residential street in central Athens. The small, air-conditioned rooms, which can't accommodate more than two guests, have
a mostly '70s scheme, but they are well-maintained and come with mini-fridges containing free
bottled water. Some rooms have balconies or terraces with seating. Bathrooms are
tiny, with showers only, but there are nice little perks, such as robes. Several shops and sights are within walking distance, as well as such attractions as Pedion Areos Park, the Hellenic Motor Museum, and the National Archaeological Museum of Athens. Breakfast comes with a fee but can be taken in the rooms, and there is free Wi-Fi throughout.
Scene
A homey value property in central Athens
This budget-friendly hotel is homey and
quaint with small chandeliers and blue mood lighting in the lobby. Soft orange
couches with green and purple pillows provide comfortable seating, while the
bright lighting makes the space feel bigger than it is. The lobby also has a
nice stone feature wall. The same style continues into the breakfast area, which has a chandelier in the tray ceiling, wood chairs, and black-topped tables.
Black leather couches with green pillows add pops of color, and the big
windows give the space some natural light. Like most hotels in its category, the Victor Inn may be low on frills, but it's comfortable and conveniently located.
Location
On a residential street in central Athens
The Victory Inn is in a quiet area of
Athens, with public transportation, the Pedion Areos Park, the Hellenic Motor
Museum, and National Archaeological Museum of Athens within walking
distance. A few shops and restaurants are less than a 15-minute walk from the
hotel. Omonia Square and Syntagma Square are within a five-minute drive or a 13-minute
metro ride, while the Acropolis and Parthenon are a 10-minute drive or 30-minute metro ride from the hotel.
Rooms
Dated but clean, with a few unexpected perks
The rooms at the Victory Inn are small, with equally tiny bathrooms, but they're clean. Many of the spaces have a '70s
color palette, with orange bedspreads, yellow curtains, purple pillows, and generic artwork on the walls. Rooms can accommodate no more than two people max, and
the TVs are tube-style. All rooms come with mini-fridges with free bottled water,
bathrobes, and air-conditioning, while some have balconies or terraces with
seating. Gray tile with a brown accent band date the bathrooms, which have showers but no tubs. Small sinks provide little counter space, but
there are sufficient towels and Victory Inn toiletries.
Features
Free Wi-Fi, and 24-hour front desk and concierge service

say they've received hot drinks when arriving late at night. Room service is
available, along with a laptop and printer for guests' use. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout.
