Located opposite Hadrian’s Gate, this classy beauty is a good choice if you want to spend a couple of days in style. Drink one of the cheapest and best cappuccinos in the capital while trying to imagine what Athens used to look like from the eighth floor. All rooms are non-smoking and 14 have a see-through (from the bed) shower in case you can’t get enough of your companion. Time also equals information, a fact of which the owners here are no doubt aware, as you can access the Internet even while in the bathroom.

99 rooms. Singles: €95-205, Doubles: €100-225, Suites: €270-340
