Loved by Arethusa Hotel Athens guests
"Roof has a very good view of the Parthenon and Lycabettus Hill (must see during the day and night)."
"The main sights of Athens too were in the vicinity and each evening the beautifully lit-up Acropolis beckoned from the nearby hilltop."
"Great location in Athens- very easy to walk to all the main sites, and also about 200 metres from the metro."

“With its rooftop terrace, the views of the Parthenon and Lycabettus Hill are remarkable. I noted the prime location puts you steps from Syntagma Square and the Acropolis. I think the American-style buffet breakfast makes for a good start to the day. It's a solid choice if you want to be in the heart of Athens.”

Excellent Experience!
airport busmetro stationmany shopsexcellent location
The location provided excellent access to the airport bus at Syntagma Square. Syntagma metro station was also very close to the hotel. Many nice shops and restaurants lined the road. A very busy shopping street was located on an adjacent road, too. I found the location to be convenient!!!
The room's soundproofing wasn't great, so I could hear some street noise at times.
Location
10/10
The hotel is near Syntagma Square, with access to transportation. Guests can find various restaurants and shops nearby, with a busy shopping street only a short walk away, very convenient.

A fine view of the Acropolis is available from the top floor, especially wonderful for photos at night, and I really liked it.
Dining
9/10
The breakfast buffet had many options, including a good rugbrød, which I appreciated. Loff, cakes and diverse fruits were available, and it means that everyone will find something to eat and enjoy during breakfast.
