Value Stays
A for Athens
Best for: Unbeatable views, rooftop cocktails, staying in the heart of the action
The rooftop bar at A for Athens is still one of the best spots in the city, offering sweeping Acropolis views right from the heart of Monastiraki. The hotel itself is all about location - step outside and you’re in the middle of Athens’ most vibrant square, surrounded by history, markets and great food. The rooms are modern and comfortable, but it’s really the rooftop experience that makes it stand out.

Dwell Suites
Best for: Chic boutique lovers, quiet yet central location
I absolutely love this place. Dwell Suites is a beautiful mix of modern design and classic Parisian elegance, all set right in the heart of Athens. It’s just 50 meters from Ermou, tucked into a quaint little side street, meaning you’re close to everything yet still in a calm and charming environment. For the price, this is easily one of the best boutique stays in the city.

The Foundry Suites
Best for: Loft-style stays, artsy and bohemian vibes
A stylish, industrial-chic hotel tucked away in the bohemian streets of Psirri. Each suite feels like a loft apartment, with spacious layouts, cool design details and a laid-back, artsy feel. The rooftop garden is a hidden gem - perfect for enjoying a coffee or a glass of wine with a view. If you’re looking for something different from a traditional hotel experience, The Foundry is a fantastic choice.

Fresh Hotel
Best for: Design lovers, rooftop pool & bar, modern comfort
I’ve stayed at Fresh Hotel and it’s truly a hidden gem. From the beautifully designed foyer to their newly renovated rooms, everything is stunning. The rooftop pool and bar? A good spot to have a cocktail while you cool down. Also one of the few Athens hotels at this price point to offer both rooftop pool and Acropolis views. The vibe here is chic yet laid-back, perfect for those who want a modern, stylish stay without breaking the bank. (Please note the older rooms priced differently, than the newer rooms).
