“Hotel Exarchion stands out for its helpful staff and proximity to the lively Exarchia neighborhood; however, its breakfast options are limited, and some may find the neighborhood's atmosphere intense. The comfortable beds are a plus after exploring Athens's cultural sites, though compact bathrooms and safety concerns may be a drawback. Overall, it's a budget-friendly choice with some trade-offs.”
