About

Hotel Exarchion

Hotel Exarchion sits on Themistokleous Street in the Exarchia neighborhood, looking out toward Lycabettus Hill. The 20-room property keeps things simple: air-conditioned rooms with modern comforts, some with balconies, plus a rooftop terrace and garden area. A 24-hour reception and 24-hour room service are on hand, and free internet runs throughout.

The location is the draw. The metro station is a five-minute walk, and the area around the hotel is packed with bars, cafés and tavernas. For guests who want to be in the middle of Athens' everyday life, this is a practical base. Breakfast is available, and the hotel's own shop next door sells pizza and sandwiches.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Views of Lycabettus Hill — Rooms and the rooftop terrace look out toward Lycabettus Hill, a green landmark in central Athens.
  • Lively Exarchia location — Steps from bars, cafés and tavernas, with the metro a five-minute walk away and most central sights within walking distance.
  • Friendly, helpful staff — Guests repeatedly note the front desk and management going out of their way to assist, from directions to finding answers.
  • Good value — Rooms are basic but well-equipped (AC, TV, some with balconies), and prices are low for the city.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Street noise — The lively neighborhood means noise from the street and nearby clubs can be heard, especially in rooms at the front.
  • Basic rooms — Rooms are practical rather than luxurious — no frills beyond the essentials.
  • Dining rating is low — Breakfast receives mixed comments, with some calling it okay or satisfactory. The hotel's own shop next door is recommended instead.
  • No parking, no pets — There's no parking listed, and pets are not allowed, so plan accordingly.

“Breakfast was generous and tasty. The single room was fine for one, though the area is noisy — but you get a real feel for a typical Athenian neighborhood. It's definitely safer than some other parts of Athens and has plenty of bars and cafés. Cheap compared to other 3-star hotels. Staff were friendly.”
