Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Tempi

It's all about location for this bare-bones B&B inn ideal for budget travelers on a quick Athens stopover who still want a central location. A short, pleasant stroll from Plaka, the Roman Agora, and right on the happening Ayias Irinis Square, its convenient location makes it a great base. Double-glazed guest room windows keep out the noise—an especially welcome feature on weekday mornings, when the shops on pedestrian-only Aiolou are open and the coffee lovers are enjoying the sunshine in the busy square. The cheapest rooms have shared baths, but several rooms have lovely views to the Acropolis and to the church of Ayia Irini. There is also a kitchen where guests can cook up their own meals.
