Hi Phyl, back in May 2001, we stayed at Hotel Attalos. Here are my comments from my web site (http://www.luvtotravel.homestead.com.home.html) <BR><BR>Hotel Attalos<BR>Athens<BR>29 Athinas Street<BR>Monastiraki<BR>Phone: 01-321-2801,-2-3<BR>Fax: 01-324-3124<BR>19.000DR without breakfast (about $50)<BR>Credit cards accepted, although they prefer cash.<BR><BR>Our room, #511, was on the backside of the building with a large balcony, view of the acropolis (when standing near the railing). There is a very nice roof top garden with bar and fabulous view of the acropolis. The room had twin beds, tv (we watched CNN), a/c, very, very small bathroom with hair dryer, tub/shower and curtain. The door didn't open all the way as it hit the sink. Small room for just one person at a time. Inside the closet was a safe. Very good location just 2 blocks up from the Monastriaki metro and the Plaka. Up a couple of blocks on the right is the central market, filled with meats, fish, seafood, vegetables, and spices. Other goods are sold as well. <BR>

Hello, Just back from Greece last night. Oct 12th. I personally did not like Attolos at all and would not stay there. We stayed at the Herodio Hotel<BR>www.herodion.gr The hotel is 1.5 block from the bottom of the Acopolis. 5 blocks to the Plaka area. It was very nice, extremely clean, a helpfull staff. And we paid 110.00 per night. I will stay there again..

Hi Phyl!<BR> We just came back from Greece in the beginning of the month and we stayed at Hotel Hera,9,Falirou str. Makrigianni tel.:923 6682,923 5618<BR> For 90 euros we had breakfast,a rooftop terrace and balcony facing the Acropolis,a fridge and TV and was very clean.The staff was extremely nice and helpful and the location was excellent.Just a couple of blocks away from The Acropolis and Metro and you could walk to Plaka and everywhere else.We highly recommend it!
