Bottom Line

A good pick for the price, the Hotel Metropolis is a value hotel with 21 modern rooms, including a few with balconies and Acropolis views. It’s a block away from a popular pedestrian street in central Athens with restaurants and shops and within walking distance to Acropolis and the Parthenon. The hotel has a breakfast terrace with amazing views of the Acropolis, but breakfast isn’t included in the room price. Potential guests may want to compare rates at the Athens Center Square, a trendy mid-range hotel with a rooftop bar and modern rooms.

Hotel Metropolis

Scene

Breakfast terrace with amazing views of Acropolis

The Hotel Metropolis is housed in a peach-colored building covered in vines with purple flowers. A bronze statue of a man stands in the front window and faces the street. Inside the hotel is a tight lobby with no seating and a small front desk tucked below the staircase. Guests pile their luggage on the steps while waiting to check in. There's also a tiny elevator that can fit two people at a time. On the roof is the breakfast terrace with tables and chairs where, for a fee, guests can dine on a breakfast of Greek yogurt, fruit, and toasted sandwiches while taking in the amazing views of the Acropolis.

Location

On busy street, a 10-minute walk to the Parthenon and Acropolis

The hotel is located between other buildings on a busy street near the Church of Metropolis and across from a grassy square with trees. It’s a block away from the busy pedestrian street of Ermou, which has boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. Syntagma Square is within a five-minute walk, and it’s a 10-minute walk to both the Parthenon and the Acropolis. The Athens International Airport is a 30-minute drive or 45-minute metro ride away.
