EuroCheapo review print this page

Dryades has the same management (and reception area) as Hotel Orion. Among our listings, these two hotels are the furthest afield from central Athens, perched as they are at the top of Exarchia. Nonetheless, for their rates and vibe, they are logical EuroCheapo picks.

Dryades is the big brother to Orion. While Orion takes a younger crowd, Dryades tends to house families and thirty-somethings.

We loved the 1960s office-type wood paneling we saw in one of Dryades' 15 rooms. Ditto to those fuzzy pink and orange blankets, which also reminded us of the mid-1960s. Rooms also feature nifty retro wardrobes. Floors are tiled. These appealing touches appear to be the result of piecemeal aesthetic additions as opposed to any sort of stylistic renovation.

The walk up the hill to Dryades will be somewhat strenuous for all but the insane triathletes among us.

About the Hotel Dryades neighborhood

Once the hub of radical student culture, Exarchia has nonetheless been deeply permeated by the languid café culture so popular in Athens. It’s just that there’s radical left-wing graffiti everywhere, not to mention underground music shops, and a few dazed wandering souls. The lively Platia Exarchia forms the nucleus of Exarchia, which sits to the northeast of Omonia Square. Other Exarchia landmarks include the National Archaeological Museum and Athens Polytechnic. Exarchia is closest to the Omonia and Viktoria metro stations. Exarchia is also referred to as Moussio.
