The Student and Travellers Inn, situated in the heart of Plaka, shares a street with some of the neighborhood's best tavernas, pastry shops, ice creameries, jewelry shops, and souvenir stores. What else do you need to know?
OK, there are the rooms. The Inn's bright rooms are clean and comfortable, decked out in vibrant yellow and blue. (If a University of California alumnus did not decorate them, it would be a huge surprise.) The beds are dorm-style, plain but sufficient. Floors are hardwood. And bathrooms have fun shower curtains covered in sharks or four-leaf clovers.
Most of the inn's beds are rented out individually, hostel-fashion. Some rooms share bathrooms down the hall. Others have facilities attached. This makes the inn incredibly appealing to students and solo travelers. Still, many families seeking a good bargain in a great part of Athens stay here as well.
There's a large courtyard behind the Inn. Considering that the sun shines in Athens on average 300 days of the year, you may be able to enjoy it even in the winter months.
Note: To stay in one of the Traveller Inn's 35 colorful rooms, you must pay cash.

About the The Student and Travellers Inn neighborhood
Plaka is the heart of tourist Athens. Its dense, atmospheric alleys are packed with tavernas, tourist traps, and gorgeous ancient structures. Adrianou is the main strip, but the highly touristed nature of Plaka permeates most corners of the neighborhood. While its main characteristic is its tourist-oriented nature, those committed to hunting around will find a comfortable few blocks of stylish cafés, specialty shops, and government buildings tucked in between the tourist shops, churches, and ancient sites. Plaka is closest to the Syntagma metro station, which is located beneath Syntagma Square.
