Arion Athens Hotel enjoys a superb location, steps away from Monastiraki and a short walk from the metro station, placing guests within easy reach of major sights. The spacious rooms often feature pleasant views, with some offering vistas of the Parthenon, and several guests have enjoyed the rooftop terrace. While some have noted that the breakfast selection is fairly basic, the hotel's location opposite a charming church and proximity to numerous restaurants are widely appreciated.

Lovely Views, Perfect Location!

excellent viewmetro stationvaried breakfastuncomfortable bed
The location is fantastic It's super close to the Monastiraki metro station I walked there easily with my luggage. The rooftop bar offered an excellent Acropolis view I enjoyed it a lot. The breakfast each day was varied and quite delicious I really appreciated the selection available. The staff was helpful They gave me great tips on what to see and do.
I found the bed to be a bit uncomfortable The pillows felt quite hard. I also noticed it was tricky to get a stable TV signal in the room. The bathroom could use a refresh.
