Be My Guest Athens

Top choice in Athens


Opened in 2017, this 14-room hotel is for those seeking calm: the minimalist monotone-and-turquoise colour scheme is soothing, and its residential location (about 15 minutes' walk to the Acropolis) is quiet. The cheapest double rooms don't have balconies, but it's not much to upgrade. The suites have kitchens, and there's a handy grocery store downstairs.
