Hotel AttalosEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

Located close to the heart of Monastiraki and Plaka, Hotel Attalos is a good tourist value. Unlike many of the hotels constructed just in time for the 2004 Olympics (as well as some older hotels renovated for the same purpose), two-star Attalos is a relaxed throwback to the 1970s.

Attalos's 80 rooms are pretty unremarkable. Walls are unadorned save for the framed reproductions of mythological figures. Bed units are basic. Amenities are standard and plain, and include air conditioning, satellite television, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Rooms toward the back are away from the street noise on the busy Athinas thoroughfare and have roomy balconies as well.

It's less shiny than it is dependable, a fact reflected in the hotel's clientele. Middle-aged and up, the Attalos demographic includes plenty of seniors and small groups. We especially liked the rooftop bar and terrace and the funky, retro lounges found on several floor landings.

Breakfast is available for an additional €8.
