Top Socrates' Prison Hotel Reviews

Athens Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"clean room, staff was pleasant. breakfast was included and food at dinner was marvelous with a beautiful view of the acropolis. outside look deceiving but the hotel is lovely. only comment is the elevator is small and tight. walking distance to Temple of Zeus, Plaka and acropolis. perfect spot!"

Eternity Athens

10/10 Excellent

"except for the garbage dumpsters at the front of the hotel. It was a wonderful place to explore Athens. Cobblestone streets, outdoor restaurants and shopping with in steps. Lovley outdoor seating area in front of the hotel."

Plaka Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient location for visiting old town Athens. Everything was walkable. Room was good. Staff was helpful. Rooftop dining was nice. Breakfast had lots of options. The elevator was small if you are claustrophobic (but stairs are an option). Very happy with our stay."

Acropolis Magenta

8/10 Good

"The rooftop area was closed twice when we tried to go up to it. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Offered a great breakfast that was delivered to room. Very affordable"

The Pinnacle Athens

10/10 Excellent

"Staff are very attentive and helpful."

Athens Studios

10/10 Excellent

"Our 2 nights were wonderful. Staff very helpful and helped us get to the port. Walking to food, shopping and museum so close. Girl at the desk was very helpful with areas to walk to for a view. She was amazing getting us a ride when the first one was late. Enjoyed the balcony as well. Breakfast was hearty. Great stay!"

Athens Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was very good. Noise in the square got loud sometimes. The views of the Acropolis were great"

Niche Hotel Athens

10/10 Excellent

"The Niche Hotel is in the perfect location for exploring Athens - close to everything, including the subway. The staff, especially George, were so friendly and helpful. Contrary to what has been written there are 2 elevators that go from ground floor to all other floors. There is a short staircase down to the elevators but hotel staff are always there to assist with bags, whatever. The top floor terrace is fantastic with amazing views of the city and the Acropolis and top notch breakfast and dinner. The rooms, although really nice, were small and a tight fit for 2 travellers with luggage for 2 weeks. After all was said and done we enjoyed our stay at the Niche Hotel and highly recommend it."

Divani Palace Acropolis

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff and fantastic service"
