“Hotel Exarchion occupies a spot in the lively Exarchia district, making it a budget-friendly base for exploring Athens' cultural side. While some may find the immediate area initially jarring, its proximity to excellent restaurants, bars and transport links is a genuine advantage. I think that for travellers focused on seeing the city's sights and experiencing local life, the hotel is a practical choice, despite its outdated facilities.”

Convenient Location, Great Value!
convenient locationtasty foodshort walkrooftop bar
I found the location very convenient. There are many restaurants and Greek tavernas nearby that offer tasty food. The metro station is a short walk away, providing easy access to transportation. The rooftop bar offered a wonderful view. The air conditioning in the room worked very well.
Breakfast offered limited variety. The same cheese and ham sandwich every morning became repetitive.

The hotel's location is central, with access to major attractions by walking. The area hosts many bars and restaurants with diverse food options. police security guards maintain a constant presence adjacent to the hotel.
Dining

The breakfast buffet has basic offerings like eggs, cheese, cereal, and bread along with juice and coffee. Plenty of restaurants and Greek tavernas are around the corner, they offer delicious food at better prices. The top floor roof bar is available with a wonderful view.
