EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The Golden City is a big three-star tourist-class hotel with 91 rooms, located near Omonia Square. We got the impression that it accommodates lots of groups.

Rooms surprised us with their elegance. We like the dark tones of the bedrooms, especially the dark wooden headboards, the refined green and yellow curtains, and the small but inviting balconies. All rooms come equipped with telephones, satellite TV, and air conditioning. Bathrooms appear to have been recently renovated, with plain tiling and stylish clear glass panels aligned with the edge of the bathtub.

Golden City sits near Omonia Square, on the edge of a rough area. Athens is not a dangerous city, and this should pose no problem to cautious visitors, but some guests prefer the comfort of a posher area. The ground level encompasses a friendly café well situated on a corner to allow great views of street-level action.

Breakfast is included. Wi-Fi is free in all public areas and costs €5 in rooms. Those needing their Web fix can use the Internet Café, which charges €15 for 24 hours.
