My third time to stay here, the Hotel Elite is very reasonably priced, it is a older building, but the staff are very helpful, the room was clean and comfortable. I plan to stay here again in the future.

Basic hotel. Very clean. Great location near the Metro to easily get to the Acropolis or Piraeus. Recommend walking in the evening to the Astiggos area - great bars and restaurants and only a 10 minute walk

I enjoyed my stay here very much, this was my second time to stay at the Elite I stayed for 5 days, it suited my needs perfectly as it is at a very central location, and close to the Metro, the local area has improved a lot in recent years. It is clean and the staff are very helpful, however be aware it is a older building, the lift is a piece of mechanical history worthy of any museum. I plan to stay here again on my next visit to Athens. Philip B.

The Elite Hotel Athens is an excellent choice if you want to stay away from the tourist areas of Athens. It is in Psiri and Omonia Square is several blocks away. This is where workaday Athenians are mostly seen and heard along with a bit of what you’d see deeper into the Omonia area. There are lots of cafes, small restaurants, shops, & pharmacies. The Elite is situated within 20-30 minutes walking distance of the main attractions in any direction, but Omonia metro is the closest station and is the main transfer hub for the entire metro.
The hotel’s facilities are adequate. There’s nothing fancy. But you’ll receive daily housekeeping if you want it, and there’s a breakfast option you can pre-purchase. They are extremely accommodating and will even prepare a small plate of food for you earlier if you need to eat before the breakfast is available. The only thing to note is it isn’t a restaurant, and the breakfast is only for guests who have pre-purchased the option, the offering is limited to just a few items.
The guys at the front desk are incredibly kind and they can answer any question you might have. The elevator is small and typical of this era of building, fitting 2 persons at a time. The stairs are steep but make for a good workout!
I do recommend a white noise app on your phone, the sounds from the street outside can be noticeable and the noises echo through the hotel sometimes too, which is expected on a busy street.

On a budget?
Very simple hotel. I mean, BARE. 0 amenities. With that being said, very clean, very friendly services, and exactly what you'll need if budget is top of mind.

No hot water, had to wash my hair in cold water. Followed the instructions to get wifi, got it for about 2 minutes - then no connection. But the worst was the reaction from the guy in the reception, who tried to blame me for the bad internet and made the excuse that because that the ”hotel” was ”full” I should accept not to get hot water. Absolutely NOT acceptable!

It’s what you’d expect for the price. The rooms are certainly not for hanging out, they’re for sleeping. Beds are surprisingly comfortable, but don’t expect any aesthetics, it’s completely bare. The shower was broken and had water coming out the other side.
But hey, it’s a really cheap room in the center of Athens, you can get anywhere quickly by walking or metro, and it has a fridge and AC (though the AC is so loud you’d rather not have it running). Overall don’t regret booking it! Towels were changed every day and the reception was friendly. Be aware that you’ll have to pay ~0.5€ per night tourist tax.

Perfect location and price
We picked this hotel for its location to several landmarks as well as the proximity to the metro as we had 2 days after our cruise in Athens.
We were able to walk to Acropolis/Parthenon and Ancient Agora (recommend this), Plaka on one day and the other we walked to the Monument of the unknown soldier (watch the changing of the guards!), Anafiotika, and Panthenaic stadium.
The hotel was simple but the staff allowed us to check in 2 hours early and were friendly.
It was a tight space for the 5 of us but all we did was sleep there. Lots of extra bedding and towels. Old but clean.
We faced a busy street so heard a lot of motor cycles at night but for the cost and locality was a small price to pay.
If you stay there are 2 great places within walking-first Delicious Souvlaki (across the street 5 min walk great lunch) and Migada which had an amazing Spanish/Indian meets Greece selection.

Do not expect comfort
The hotel is clean, and the staff is friendly. But the overall condition of the rooms is unpleasing and the building would benefit from a renovation. The doors in my room did not close properly, doorhandles were missing, the sockets were loose, etc. . Also, my "shower" consisted of a hose mounted next to the toilet and a drain in the floor, so the whole bathroom got wet while showering.
The hotel is also loud at night. The time you fall asleep is determined by the end of your neighbor's film or Youtube-video.
I didn't expect to get luxury for the amount I paid, but I hoped to get more than just a room and a bed.
I would just come back for one night.
