“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focused on seeing the city's sights and experiencing local life, the hotel is a practical choice, despite its outdated facilities.”
