6-8 Mitropoleos Str- 12 Nikis Str, Athens, Greece
Nestled in the heart of Athens, beneath the iconic Acropolis Hill and surrounded by some of the city's most famous landmarks -including the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Tower of the Winds and the Temple of Olympian Zeus- the Arethusa Hotel invites you to experience the vibrant energy of this historic city. Inspired by the iconic architecture of the late 1960s and the modern urban vibes of Athens, this 3-star hotel with 87 rooms is located on Mitropoleos Street, a prime spot that blends retro charm with the bustling atmosphere of one of downtown’s most commercial areas. Just a short walk (3 minutes) from Syntagma Square and the central metro station, as well as the Parthenon (10-15 minutes), the Arethusa Hotel is the perfect base for tourists. Immerse yourselves in authentic Athenian life while sightseeing and explore Greece’s rich history. The hotel’s central location also makes it an ideal spot for discovering some of Athens’ hidden gems, including high-end jewelry boutiques, unique concept stores, third-wave coffee shops, top-notch restaurants and local artists’ ateliers and galleries. For the most jaw-dropping view of the city, head to the hotel’s rooftop. Grab a Fer-Forgé chair, relax, and let the Athenian sun reflect off the ancient marbles of the Parthenon gleaming in the sunlight. This spot will soon be even more spectacular, as the rooftop is set for a complete renovation to become one of Athens' most dazzling destinations. Whatever your needs, let our experienced staff help you in the best way possible. Hospitality is one of the Arethusa Hotel's core values, and it's only a request away for you to experience it. Available 24 hours, our staff at the front desk can arrange car rentals, taxi calls, and guided tours, while offering valuable information on transportation and sightseeing, whether it’s a visit to the Acropolis or a ride to Sounion. Regarding your personal belongings, we offer luggage storage for free or with a fee depending on the duration. As for your food and drink choices, we offer an American-style buffet breakfast and a certified Greek breakfast (served from 06:30 AM to 10:00 AM) on the half floor, as well as access to a modern café on the ground floor. For your meals or light dinners, the Arethusa Hotel gives you the opportunity to enjoy a personalized dining experience by scanning a QR code in your room that connects you to the best restaurant options via the Tasteat app -your food concierge. Our hotel guarantees room cleaning every other day (during breakfast hours), including a full replacement of toiletries and a change of bed linens to ensure a tidy space for your relaxation. If you would prefer daily housekeeping, simply let us know and we will be happy to assist you. License Number(s): 1033379

The hotel is completely renovated so everything was new. I love the proximity to Ermou, Monastiraki and Palma and all the restaurants. I took the X96 express to the airport and it’s so close and convenient. Staff was amazing!
The roof deck view was amazing and you can take a drink up to enjoy. It just needs a little cleaning up and little refresh would go a long way.

The location is extraordinary. 3 minutes from Syntagma and parallel to Ermou and less than 10 minutes from Monastiraki Square. 4 minutes from Plaka. All by foot. The windows are soundproof so you don’t hear noise from the livelihood below. Breakfast was good. Variety….
Some parts in bathroom were worn and torn. Could use a little fixing up.

Great location, very clean and rooftop terrace was a great place to unwind from the day in the evenings. We needed to leave early for the port our last day and the reception helpfully arranged for transportation and provided breakfast to go.

The location is amazing, right in the middle of the city and within a walking distance of the Acropolis, and a two minute walk away from the direct airport bus. The hotel was clean, quick and comfortable. No complaints at all.
Nothing, it was great.
