About
Grecotel Pallas Athena
Grecotel Pallas Athena sits on Athinas Street, a short walk from Kotzia Square and the bustling markets of central Athens. The 63-room hotel blends a central location with playful, artistic interiors — think graffiti walls, mini reception desks, and a mini hi-fi system in your room.
Rooms range from compact Superior Rooms to spacious Family Suites, many with balconies overlooking the square. The hotel offers a well-reviewed breakfast, a bar and restaurant, plus practical touches like valet parking, a fitness centre, and babysitting services for families.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Prime central location — A 5-minute walk to Kotzia Square and within walking distance of the Acropolis, Plaka, and the metro.
- Distinctive design — Graffiti art, themed rooms, and playful details like mini hi-fi systems and reception desks made from minis set this hotel apart.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small hotel, limited scale — With only 63 rooms, the property is intimate but may lack the range of facilities found at larger resorts.
- Neighborhood safety concerns — One guest felt the immediate area was not very safe, despite the convenient location.
- Check-in window is strict — Check-in is between 15:00 and 23:30, with no mention of late arrival flexibility beyond that.
- No pets allowed — If you travel with a pet, this isn't the place — the hotel does not permit animals.
