Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

This is a two star hotel, but if you can book one of the triple rooms with view of the Acropolis, it’s far better than most. The room is simple, but the bed is excellent. The. Bathroom is small but adequate and the towels are generous. Our room had two balconies, one facing the Acropolis and one looking down towards Monastiraki Square. No restaurant, but there’s one next door. There is a lift, but it’s up a few steps. The staff are helpful and friendly and speak English.

We really liked this hotel. The staff were very nice and we had a great room with a small balcony. We had the breakfast one morning and it was decent. The location can't be beat! Very close to all the main sights. The view from breakfast space has amazing view of acropolis. The room was clean and they tidied it for us daily.

This hotel, which is family-run, is very well located near the Plaka. It is not fancy but it has all of the necessary amenities including breakfast served on the roof overlooking the Parthenon. The owner and his son are very accommodating and pleasant.

This small hotel offers excellent value. We had a small but nice room with view of the Parthenon. The hotel provides efficient, friendly service. The Plaka location, opposite the magnificent Cathedral, is superb.

Loved this hotel! This hotel was in the center of the city for us. Plenty of nice restaurants that didn’t need reservations within one to two blocks from hotel, partial view to the Acropolis from room, and plenty of shops. There was a pharmacy across the street too which was helpful since my friend was sick. The staff was very friendly too from check in to check out. The staff even helped us load our luggage into the taxi when we left.

A great budget hotel in the heart of the Plaka. The view from the top could not be beat. Reserve room 52 with the full patio. We had a small table with four chairs and two lounge chairs. We sat at night and watched the sunset over the Acropolis. Absolutely worth every penny! We were within two blocks of the the shopping/eating of the Plaka. We were within 5 blocks of the main square to reach the Hop On Hop Off bus. The breakfast was small but adequate. The bathroom was roomy. The beds were comfortable. The best selling point was the view, get room 52!

Economy double room…hotel was well located to everything you’d want to see in Athens. No parking and no laundry although they’re listed. The room was small as expected as was the bathroom. But, the bathroom was gross and dirty. Again the location was ideal and the staff were wonderful, perhaps a different room would be been better.

Visiting the metropolis hotel in Athens is an experience you do not want to miss. It is the best view to the Acropolis enjoying your drink. Nothing else is more to say. We have enjoyed our gin and tonics, and it was a beautiful day. I would recommend it every time someone visits Athens.

We stayed at Hotel Metropolis in June 2022. The hotel is situated right in the city centre, in the vibrant Plaka neighbourhood. It has no restaurant of its own, but that is no problem as you'll have countless options for dinner at walking distance! Bars, pharmacy, bank and touristic highlights are also very close. The most outstanding feature of Hotel Metropolice is the rooftop terrace with prime view of the Akropolis. Absolutely amazing! This is where your breakfast will be served. Breakfast itself is quite simple, however you can request eggs to be cooked for you as you like them. Our balcony had the same amazing view, by the way. Our room was small, but we didn't spend a lot of time in it and the beds were good, so that was okay. Special thanks to the staff, who were extremely helpful and welcoming. They tried to help us with our parking problem (there is no parking at the hotel), gave me a book in my own language and even called a doctor when one of us needed urgent medical attention. An amazing family business!
