About
Socrates Hotel
Socrates Hotel is a compact 3-star stay in central Athens, set back from the busy shopping streets near Larissa railway station. The metro station is essentially on the doorstep, which makes the Acropolis, Syntagma Square and much of the city effortless to reach — guests mention the 100-metre walk to the station and the subway in line of sight.
The hotel was recently remodelled, and the feedback is consistent: rooms are clean, the team is friendly, and the breakfast draws repeated praise even from picky eaters. With family rooms, balconies on some twins, and a 24-hour desk, it's a straightforward, no-frills option for travellers prioritising position and price over luxury.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Metro at the front door — Guests repeatedly note the subway station is directly opposite or within 100 metres, plus the 100-metre walk to Larissa train station, making it effortless to reach the Acropolis and beyond.
- Breakfast that wins praise — The breakfast is a recurring highlight — called lovely, nice, and even great for vegetarians. One guest rated it 9.6/10 alone.
- Clean and recently remodelled — Rooms are described as immaculately clean and newly renovated, with daily housekeeping exceeding expectations.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms are basic — Several guests note the rooms are clean but 'fundamental' — don't expect frills. Twin rooms have a balcony and air conditioning, but other categories are more minimal.
- Limited dining options — Beyond breakfast, there's a snack bar, coffee shop and vending machines, but no full restaurant. Dining scores just 5/10.
- Area rating below Athens average — The hotel sits in a part of Athens that guests score lower than the city norm — the area average is 8.8, this hotel 7.3, partly due to the station-side setting.
