Dryades & Orion Hotel

Originally booked Dryades but got my actual room in Orion, with a nice view onto the Acropolis. View is even better from the rooftop! Although in or next to Exarchia, it is in a really calm back street. Lots of bars and eateries are a few blocks away. Definitely would come back again.

Awesome breakfast. Comfortable clean room. Good location. Very friendly and supporting staff. Will stay again Thanks Greg

Pathetic quality of rooms and even worse room service. Ac keeps dripping water and they don’t seem to care to change the room or solve the problem. Avoid booking this hotel based on past reviews…………….

We've just returned home from a week's stay at this hotel. Generally, had a very good stay, for a budget hotel. We stayed in a budget ground floor double room, which had everything we needed and plenty space, including free water in the mini fridge, hairdryer and much needed Aircon. Towels and bins were changed every day for us. There was also a little balcony. The hotel itself was very clean and tidy, although the main reception often did smell like cigarette smoke as the main door being open mostly all afternoon would have smokers standing right outside, but, nothing that can be done about that. The top floor had a lovely outdoor terrace where breakfast was served every morning and had a great view of Athens and the acropolis. Shout out to the staff member in charge of breakfast, she was great to chat to! Breakfast was always good, plenty of variety, my favs in particular were the orange cake and Greek yogurt with honey! The reception staff were always pleasant and friendly too. It's worth mentioning the hotel is on a rather steep hill, and reached by either stairs or a step incline road, bit of a work out in 30 degree heat but not unmanageable as long as you're in decent health. The only issue we had at all during our stay overall was on 1 night we came back to find our balcony door had been left open all day, presumably by a cleaner and unfortunately had let all the flies and bugs in... other than that we had a very pleasant stay and would absolutely stay again. The neighborhood of Exarcheia is a lively young alternative kind of place, lots of cool bars and cafes open late and the area is buzzing in the evening with people enjoying a drink and socialising. We felt safe overall. Highly recommend this hotel as a great budget hotel!

It's in the city's very old area. Narrow streets and a lot of street paitings.

Very difficult location. 24 hour staff. All the way high up. Water was dripping. Good and helpful staff. Hard to get to the place. Good place for the price though. Good breakfast with cereal, bread, boiled egg, omelette, ham and milk.

Excellent friendly staff! This was our first stop on a tour of Greece and coming straight from the airport - it was great to arrive at a nice clean and cool room. It is a quick 7 min walk to the national museum of archeology where you can pick up the hop on hop off bus. For our 2 night stay in Athens it was perfect. A delightful bakery at the bottom of the street with fresh treats and sandwiches, refreshing coffee and super friendly staff - it made us feel so welcome to a new country for our family holiday! The restaurant down the steps in a converted primary school was so picturesque, friendly staff and amazing first meal in Greece and we were off to a great start!

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. We felt safe, accommodation was clean and pleasant, and the owners were very helpful with dinner reccomendations/arranging transportation. We wish we had more time here!

Friendly and accommodating staff, who were more than helpful, happy to answer any questions and go out of their way to accommodate you. There was a fridge, with water topped up every day. Nice comfy bed, balcony, and it was right near a park which offered excellent views of the city. Cafes and restaurants are located very close, bakeries just a short walk away and also a supermarket. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend
