We stayed for 5 nights and were happy to have done so. We were a few short blocks from the Plaka and the Acropolis which allowed us to do several hours of sightseeing and then go back to the hotel for a bit of a rest before heading out again. Upon arrival, the gentleman at the desk took several minutes... more

I stayed at Economy Hotel for a one night stopover in Athens. As a solo female traveller I had been apprehensive about staying in Athens alone, but after much research I chose Economy Hotel for its central location and safe neighbourhood. I am so glad I did - not only is it well-situated in a decent area, but you definitely... more

Our second stay at the Economy, and we will be back! Friendly staff (who remembered us from last year!); clean rooms; good breakfast; convenient location; and great value. The rooms are small, but are spotless. Breakfast is not haute cuisine, but there's a very wide selection so plenty of scope for a good start to the day. The location is... more

From the airport we took a cab and were ripped off, Apparently the max they can charge is 35 euros and we paid 45. The front desk of this hotel informed us of that. They were very nice and helpful. Immediately pulled out a map to show us the key attractions we needed to see being that we were only... more

My partner and I stayed one night. The place is clean and good value for money. Handy location - although the immediate area is a bit seedy, we felt safe coming back from the centre at 2 a.m. even though people were about. The staff were initially helpful, then the full moon struck...they turned into a bunch of arrogant jerks.... more

Just returned from spending 4 nights in Athens and stayed at the Economy Hotel. The hotel is a 8-10 minute walk from Monastiraki Square where there are a number of restaurants as well as the "path" to the Acropolis entrance and one of the ways in to the Plaka. 15-20 minute walk to any other museum or significant archaeological spot... more

This hotel has a very good location, albeit not the best neighbourhood, but less than 10 minutes walk from the touristy bits. Omonia metro station is on the line coming from Pireus (ferry port) and Monastiraki goes directly to the airport, can't find more convenient. This hotel is excellent value, very clean and has the friendliest and most helpful front... more

Economy hotel is a fairly new hotel which is family run. It has a pretty good location in Athens called Omonia, which used to be a little dodgy but, thanks to a concentrated police effort to clear out illegal immigrants, the area has much improved. The hotel is situated close (approx. 8 min walk) to the old historic centre, Plaka,... more

I have stayed there 2 years running now, and find it pretty good value for money as far as Athens goes, unless you stay nearer to Omonia which becomes very seedy and then hotels are slightly cheaper.. The reception staff were so nice and helpful, I had my wallet stolen the day before in Barcelona, and they liased with Visa... more
