Attractive rates and stylish flair draw travelers to the mid-range Art Hotel, set just north of downtown Athens. Vintage chandeliers, colorful decor, and tons of artwork are found throughout common areas and many of the 30 rooms. Guest rooms are well-equipped with flat-screen TVs and en-suite bathrooms, but, like much of Athens, soundproofing isn't great. The property packs in some good features for a hotel of this category, with free breakfasts, a small restaurant, and a tiny outdoor plunge pool. Offering private rooms and fun decor, the high-end hostel City Circus Athens is a more central alternative for budget-conscious travelers.

The 314-room Athens Ledra Hotel is an upscale property off the Syngrou highway. Standard Rooms are large, bright, and clean. The hotel's suites (ranging from Junior to Presidential) are much larger, and have more style, but overall, the rooms could use an update. The hotel has a full spa, a 24-hour fitness center, three restaurants, and a seasonal rooftop pool and bar with views of the Acropolis. The hotel is a 10-minute drive to the city's sights, which might not be ideal, but the hotel operates a free shuttle service to downtown.
