Rooms are clean and have all the basics including great air conditioning and fantastic location. Close to several great restaurants, shopping, metro and attractions. The roof top patio is amazing at night and allowed for great pictures. There is an elevator. The rooms are clean and the bathroom was a riot to use. The shower drained into a drain in... More

We stayed 1 night at the hotel, staff was professional, the room was a bit small but clean and very quiet. the location is perfect, walking distance from the center, archeological sites and tourist areas. you need to book a parking slot if you have a car, there is only two spaces.

Visiting Athens frequently, this is what I like: - Convenient transportation to/from airport. - room with Acropolis view - being close to historical sites and activity and restaurants - moderate price - friendly people All this is perfectly offered by Metropolis. Two minuses: - breakfast is not offered (not a big deal in an area of so many restaurants) -... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel. We are very glad to hear that your stay with us was enjoyable. Please let me inform you that breakfast is offered at an extra cost daily on our roof terrace and the lack of this information is clearly our mistake. Regarding the materials used please note that...

Arriving on Easter Sunday, Athens was really quiet and it was quite a drastic change from the hustling Rome that we just came from. The hotel manager during the day was not friendly at all. He was just pointing out a few visiting places in Athens only after our request. Totally different from the warm hospitality that we had else... More

Dear guest, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback regarding our hotel. I am disappointed that your stay was not all that it could have been. The interaction with our staff member during the day is certainly not typical and I will bring your experience to the attention of the entire staff. The room you checked in... More

We stayed at Hotel Metropolis this past February for 5 nights. We took a cab from the airport to the hotel and made sure to get the flat 35 euro rate. The rooms are very small as are the bathrooms. There was a TV in our room and the furniture is mainly Ikea quality. None of this really mattered to... More

The best about this hotel is the location: very close to Sintagma metro station, at 2 min walking distance from Ermou street (shopping area), many bus stations are in Singatma too, etc. Although the rooms are a bit smalls, they are clean. Double check with the hotel the breakfast option, if you book online. Although I would say to better... More

We stayed for2 nights prior to starting a cruise. I chose it because of the good reviews, central location and price. It was good value for what we paid - clean, comfortable bed, plenty of hot water and wonderful views of the Acropolis from the breakfast terrace. Very easy to get to on the airport bus but would suggest that... More

Clean, well maintained, excellent location and friendly, helpful staff. Hotel Metropolis is the perfect place to stay if you are only in Athens for a couple of days. It's easy to get to from the airport (5 minute walk from Syntagma Square) and the ferry port (5 minute walk to Monastriki underground, the staff are very helpful and know how... More

What sold me on this hotel was the staff and the location. It's not the most up to date or even the cleanest, although it was clean but the staff and location are great. The upstairs roof top breakfast is sufficient but the view and the atmosphere are a true joy in the morning. The little restaurant just outside the... More

I stayed in this hotel for two nights with some friends of 25 - 26 year olds to do some touring in Athens. We received corner rooms in the building, which I would recommend requesting since we had amazing views of the Acropolis. The hotel also has a great rooftop terrace where you have breakfast with a view of the... More
