“For a no-frills stay, this spot near Omonia Square is hard to fault. The location is genuinely convenient, especially with the metro so close, and the 24-hour desk is a real bonus for late arrivals. I think it's a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize practicality and location.”
