EVRIPIDES HOTEL ATHENS

"Good Hotel, with perfect terrace with very nice view on acropolis...." - Anonymous

"Not bad, not bad at all. Location-wise, just a short distance from the much-praised budget hotel Attalos and it's a whole lot cheaper. Be prepared for this short distance to be via graffiti-bedecked, rubbish-strewn and dark streets. (As an aside, I was rather shocked to find this description fitting many streets of Athens city centre, even the major ones. Graffiti is widespread. Even the pillars outside banks, normally such staid respectable places, are luridly 'decorated'. And I didn't see a single tourist-attraction signboard that was not defaced.) Breakfast is relatively good though it gets real boring after a while. Buffet style with cheese, ham, hard-boiled eggs etc. Walking distance to Acropolis, Monastiraki subway station and the market. A liquor store is just opposite. Also opposite are two shops serving great-value pork chops. Don't expect maps at reception though. Pick one up from the airport. We had to buy one for 7 euros." - Hooi Li Ong

"It is a good and very clean hotel, and the staff is nice and very helpful. The facilities are average, although sufficent for any tourist. Breakfast buffet is just adequate, without any luxuries. The location is very convenient, at walking distance from Acropolis, Syntagma, Omonia, Psiri night life, and Monastyraky. However the area around the hotel is not pleasant, and near the hotel is one of the Athenas worst quarters. " - JOSE MARTINEZ

"The facilities of hotel are OK. However, the location although walking distance from Plaka, is very dangerous, I got two attempts to steal my camera walking back to the hotel. If you are traveling alone as a woman I would look for another hotel." - Anonymous
