We stayed at Athens city hotel just for one night. Looking to be close to the parthenon and surrounding areas without paying much. We found a double room for around 50 euros. It was easy to access the hotel from the airport taking 2 buses, the hotel gave us directions and they were pretty accurate.

It is a small hotel like most of 2 or 3 stars hotels in Europe. The lobby seamed to be recently renovated and looked pretty nice. The area around the hotel didnt look very safe but we did not have any problems, even though we walked around at night.

There is a bus station in front of the hotel that takes you to Osmonia square where you can take the metro to the parthenon area... it takes about 10 minutes to get to Osmonia and from there I believe it is about 2 or 3 metro stations.

The room was very clean, European shower which is a pain for people West of the Atlantic used to having a real shower nailed in the wall, but hey that is the European way. The rooms are nicely decorated and they are very clean,

It looked like a family hotel until we turned the TV on were you could find a few channels showing stuff you wouldnt like your kids to see... I am talking hardcore stuff.

Besides that it was a nice stay, the people at the front desk was super nice and the price was good too.
