The Greek capital has undergone somewhat of a revival over the last few years, and some of the nicest affordable hotels in Athens are among our favorite places to stay in the city overall. The city’s creative scene has garnered attention alongside its well-trodden historical sites, reflected in a surge of new galleries, restaurants, bars, design stores, and hotels.

While we’d always advise a visit to the Acropolis during any trip to Athens—no matter how many times you’ve been before—there is something to be said for turning your attention towards the cool new concepts popping up across the city. In Athens today, you might start your day with breakfast in a café-boutique store before wandering areas popular with young local artists and musicians—Psiri and Koukaki, for example—before popping into a gallery or two and browsing unique gifts in one of the many design-forward stores.

The hotel scene in Athens mirrors this creativity, with an increasing number of places to stay that reflect all tastes, interests, and budgets. Read on for 11 of the nicest affordable hotels in Athens, each with a price tag under $350 per night.
