We stayed at Economy for a week this April as teachers for a group of 32 architecture students. This is second year in a row we do so, and before that we have also stayed at the hotel on a private visit to Athens. The hotel continue to impress with its friendly staff in the reception, its cleanliness and central... More

Overall the hotel was fine, but really let down by the constant smell of smoke in our 'non-smoking' room. A reasonable sized room with good facilities, a little dated but perfectly fine. Nice balcony with good views. Decent breakfast, with delicious greek yoghurt. Staff members were on the whole excellent and very friendly. Location was fine - we didn't venture... More

Economy Hotel turned out to be just what I wanted in Athens: a nice, clean place at a great price. Easy walking distance to all the sights in Athens, and a great breakfast every morning. I love the yogurt! The rooms are "european" in size, but certainly adequate, and they are very clean and convenient. The staff is superb -... More

We liked the friendliness and competence of the staff. When we first arrived, we were given a handy map and lots of information about what to see. The staff asked if we needed anything or had any questions when going out the main door - all without really being asked. Excellent location, next to the City hall in walking distance... More

This is my second stay at this hotel having last stayed in Sept 2010. I was on my way back from Crete and wanted a base for some day trips beyond Athens. This is a budget hotel and all I needed was a clean room, bed and shower, which I got. The staff were still as helpful and friendly as... More

My daughter and I had to spend a night in Athens and booked this hotel, because it was cheap and central. We expected a very basic place. However, we were pleasantly surprised at this lovely, friendly place, the great location and the amazing price, which even included breakfast. It was spotlessly clean, spacy, comfortable and had even a balcony. The... More

I stayed on the front end and back end of a trip to the Greek Islands in the Economy Hotel in Athens in September/October 2011. The reviews I saw on Trip Advisor led me to believe the property was good, just the area was questionable. That is an understatement. The Hotel is tired and old. Not much works properly, i.e....

------------ I stayed at Hotel Economy in Athens Greece. Its located in the center of the city about a 10 min walk from the Plaka and a 20 min walk from the Acropolis. Almost all areas around the city center of Athens are run down and "shady" so if you make sure your flights/cruise ships leave at a reasonable time... More

Really great value hotel. Nice rooms with balconies, great breakfast spread, clean, helpful staff - brilliant. Only negative is slightly dodgy red light district round the corner. Wouldn't notice during day but bit intimidating at night. Absolutely no worries if you approach from City Hall Square. Easy walking distance to main sights and Metro. More
