A 35-room designer hotel in the middle of the historic center, A for Athens, located across from the Acropolis and next to the Monastiraki metro station, is a value choice for travelers who want to be in the midst of everything -- it's a five-minute walk to the nightlife of Psirri, Monastiraki, and Plaka. But the convenience comes with a great deal of noise from the busy street outside, and the roadside musicians in Monastiraki Square below. While the hotel's spectacular rooftop bar is a popular nightlife spot for non-hotel guests, it also also adds noise.

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.
