I started staying at the Attalos hotel sometime back in the ‘80s and it hasn’t changed a whole lot! It’s a narrow building… you might miss it at first glance. I’ve returned to Greece four times and this is my go-to hotel upon arrival and departure. It is a simple, unpretentious, and honest hotel. You get a decent sized room with a comfortable bed, a safe, a nice shower and a little balcony. They serve an amazing and satisfying breakfast. I’ve heard the neighborhood is one to be wary of but we have had no problems at all no matter what time of night or day we were wandering around. It’s a short distance to Plaka for fun shopping and a store nearby selling items from Lesvos… the best Ouzo! What IS new is the roof-top bar. What was once a simple bar on a roof is now a lovely place to hang out with a view of the acropolis. If you want fancy, look elsewhere. If you’re good with basic, this is the place. I’ll be honest… this trip we decided to try a different hotel, similar price range (the other was a bit pricier), in the same neighborhood and we were extremely disappointed. It will only be the Attalos from now on!
