Arethusa Hotel Athens

Nestled in the heart of Athens, beneath the iconic Acropolis Hill and surrounded by some of the city's most famous landmarks -including the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Tower of the Winds and the Temple of Olympian Zeus- the Arethusa Hotel invites you to experience the vibrant energy of this historic city. Inspired by the iconic architecture of the late 1960s and the modern urban vibes of Athens, this 3-star hotel with 87 rooms is located on Mitropoleos Street, a prime spot that blends retro charm with the bustling atmosphere of one of downtown’s most commercial areas. Just a short walk (3 minutes) from Syntagma Square and the central metro station, as well as the Parthenon (10-15 minutes), the Arethusa Hotel is the perfect base for tourists. Immerse yourselves in authentic Athenian life while sightseeing and explore Greece’s rich history. The hotel’s central location also makes it an ideal spot for discovering some of Athens’ hidden gems, including high-end jewelry boutiques, unique concept stores, third-wave coffee shops, top-notch restaurants and local artists’ ateliers and galleries. For the most jaw-dropping view of the city, head to the hotel’s rooftop. Grab a Fer-Forgé chair, relax, and let the Athenian sun reflect off the ancient marbles of the Parthenon gleaming in the sunlight. This spot will soon be even more spectacular, as the rooftop is set for a complete renovation to become one of Athens' most dazzling destinations. Whatever your needs, let our experienced staff help you in the best way possible. Hospitality is one of the Arethusa Hotel's core values, and it's only a request away for you to experience it. Available 24 hours, our staff at the front desk can arrange car rentals, taxi calls, and guided tours, while offering valuable information on transportation and sightseeing, whether it’s a visit to the Acropolis or a ride to Sounion. Regarding your personal belongings, we offer luggage storage for free or with a fee depending on the duration. As for your food and drink choices, we offer an American-style buffet breakfast and a certified Greek breakfast (served from 06:30 AM to 10:00 AM) on the half floor, as well as access to a modern café on the ground floor. For your meals or light dinners, the Arethusa Hotel gives you the opportunity to enjoy a personalized dining experience by scanning a QR code in your room that connects you to the best restaurant options via the Tasteat app -your food concierge. Our hotel guarantees room cleaning every other day (during breakfast hours), including a full replacement of toiletries and a change of bed linens to ensure a tidy space for your relaxation.

A small nice hotel in the center of Athens attractions.

A great value stay in the centre of Athens

Pros: This is great value for money! Great location right by Syntagma Square in the centre (and a direct metro line to the airport). Good breakfast included. Room had everything you’d expect. It’s not fancy but it’s exactly what it says it is!

Cons: Nothing :)

A pleasant and well-located hotel with friendly staff and great comfort

Pros: A very pleasant hotel in the heart of Athens, just 100 metres from Syntagma Square, with very friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms with plenty of amenities, super comfortable beds, excellent Wi-Fi, and many cafés and restaurants nearby. It is also only 100 metres from the airport bus and the metro.

Cons: I had some issues with the window, as it was warped and didn’t close properly, and the breakfast could have been a bit more varied

Great Value for Money in Central Location

Pros: It is an great value for money option if you are looking for a stay in central location. Everything you need is whithin walking distance, the hotel is great, the breakfast is very good and the staff is very friendly.

Cons: There are not enough sockets in the room (no sockets by the bed) so you have to ask for the staff for an extra cable with sockets. Moreover there is only 1 iron for the entire hotel available and you have to ask it from the reception only for 30 minutes.
