This is a very nice but not very well known hotel in downtown Athens. Formerly the Diomias Hotel it has been totally renovated and is a modern B category. It is on a very small street a couple blocks from Syntagma square and half a block from the pedestrian shopping street of Ermou and quite close to the Plaka and the archaeological sites. I have never stayed here but the reason I know about it is because when Mike Constantinou of Greece Accommodations Direct put us up at the Grande Bretagne to write an article (I'm working on it Mike) we had my mother-in-law with us. For reasons that you can probably imagine we preferred to have her in another hotel somewhere nearby rather then with us. We needed a place where she would not complain too loudly because the quality was not as high as the GB but we did not want to pay $300 a night. Not that she is not worth it. Anyway she loved the hotel. If you are looking for a cheap hotel this is not it. But if you don't mind spending a hundred bucks for a comfortable room, excellent service, AC and a few extras then try the Athens Cypria.
