“Socrates Hotel's prime merit is its affordability in a city not known for budget options. What stands out is its location near transport hubs, including Larissa station, making city exploration straightforward. While experiences seem to vary, I see it as a practical base for those prioritizing access over luxury in Athens.”

Great Value Close to the Station
cute staff clean room calm neighborhood
I found the staff cute. The room was clean and matched my expectations for the price. The hotel's proximity to Larissa subway station made getting to tourist locations easy. The neighborhood seemed calm during the day.
The bathroom looked old and needed a refurbishment. The toilet made a loud noise when flushed. This could be disruptive, especially at night.
