Neighborhood
is a bit dicey
The 164-room mid-range Oscar Hotel has a great central location near Omonia Square, but the neighborhood is a bit dicey and the hotel's overall decor looks old. Rooms have '90s green carpeting, no showers (bathtubs only), and guests complain that some rooms smell of smoke and are noisy. All rooms have balconies, some big enough to hold a table and chairs, and some have views of Athens. The rooftop terrace/bar is a highlight here, mainly for its views. Wi-Fi and a buffet breakfast are free, and there's a small, seasonal outdoor pool, with views of Lycabettus Hill and the Acropolis.
