Colors Hotel Athens is frequently praised for its vibrant and modern design, making for a memorable stay. Guests often highlight the convenient location, with easy access to Omonia and Panepistimio metro stations, placing it within walking distance of central Athens and approximately 2 km from the Acropolis and Parthenon.

Mixed Feelings About This Hotel
polite staffsewage smellstreet noise
The front desk staff were polite and gave good information about the city.
The room smelled like sewage, and it came from the bathroom. Opening the window meant loud noises from a restaurant across the street, so I had to pick between bad smells and noise. There was only a couple of tea bags and no coffee in the room.
