“Elikon sits directly on Omonia Square, placing guests at the center of Athens' bustle. I found the immediate access to the metro and the surprisingly quiet rooms, once the balcony door is closed, a particular advantage.

Reviews and Ratings

What past guests shared about their stay
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Elikon offers spacious rooms, some featuring balconies, and includes conveniences like a refrigerator and kettle for coffee and tea. Its location is a definite plus, with the metro practically at the doorstep and just a short walk to Plaka and the Akropolis. While some guests have found the rooms a little small, especially for two people, the hotel's proximity to the metro, a supermarket, and traditional Greek restaurants makes it a convenient base for exploring Athens.

Acceptable, but Some Issues

impractical stairs old shower curtain
The elevator here is a joke. It's like climbing a small mountain just to reach it since the stairs are so impractical. Then, once I get to my room, I noticed the shower curtain is old. Honestly, shower curtains really bother me.
