Transportation: Getting Around

From Athens International Airport, take express bus number 95 to Syntagma Square, then transfer to the Metro red line and get off at Metaxourghio Metro station (Karaiskaki Square exit). Alternatively, take the Metro blue line to Syntagma Square, transfer to the Metro red line, and get off at Metaxourghio Metro station. From Piraeus Port, take the metro to Omonia Metro station, then change to the Metro to Metaxourghio station. The hotel provides easy access to significant landmarks -including the nearly 4,000-year-old Acropolis-

“This hotel offers a budget-conscious base in a prime location, steps away from affordable cafes and restaurants; I appreciate its proximity to the Metaxourghio metro stop, making city exploration straightforward. While some may find aspects dated, its neoclassical bones and family-friendly setup appealed to me. It's a practical choice, especially for travelers prioritizing location and value.”
