Penelope's, Athens Overview

Penelope's is a small, non-smoking stay in Athens, Greece, set on Βλαχοθανάση Street at 30 Βλαχοθανάση. It suits travelers who want a straightforward base with practical comforts rather than a lot of on-site distractions. The hotel’s air conditioning helps take the edge off warm days, while free wired internet is useful if you need to check plans or work between sightseeing blocks. After a day in the city, the terrace gives you a calmer moment to reset before heading out again. Guests also note that the property’s self parking is available for a surcharge, and that discounted rates for offsite parking can make day-to-day logistics easier if you’re driving into Athens.
