Athens Gate Hotel
Hotel clean and near the Acropolis. Breakfast was chaotic with a buffet similar to those at a Holiday Inn. Dinner was excellent but very limited menu. View from the terrace was outstanding. Our room was subjected to street noise even with windows closed.

Royal Olympic Hotel
This classy hotel is gorgeous - and just steps away from the main tourist spots in the city center of Athens. It’s also an ideal choice if you’re running the Athens Marathon, just about a half-mile walk from the Olympic stadium at the finish line.
