“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. For those who value round-the-clock security and proximity to city life, this hotel presents a compelling option.”

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 stairsold shower curtain
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.
