About

Alassia Hotel

Alassia Hotel sits on Socratous Street, a 5-minute walk from Omonia Square and the Omonoia metro station. The Parthenon Ruins are about a 25-minute walk away, though the metro makes the Acropolis area quicker. The hotel is set back from the street, with a garden view from some rooms.

Rooms are scored at 9.0 for comfort and facilities, with extras like soundproofing, mini-bars, and tea and coffee facilities. The 24-hour reception, express check-in/out, and tour assistance are practical touches for sightseers. Breakfast is a recurring highlight in guest reviews, with many calling it amazing or excellent.

“Excellent location right by Omonia Square and the metro. The hotel has a modern design, a large clean room, a huge balcony, and air conditioning that worked well in the August heat. Breakfast was very good, and the supervisor let me in 20 minutes early to catch a tour. A great deal.”

The bottom line

Alassia Hotel is a solid choice for budget-conscious travellers who want to be in the thick of Athens. The high facility score and praised breakfast offset the worn edges and the gritty evening atmosphere on the street. It's a trade-off of comfort and value against a neighbourhood that doesn't sparkle.

8.5A reliable, affordable base with a great breakfast, if you don't mind a lively street after dark.
