Sweet Home Hotel, Athens

Sweet Home Hotel is a family-friendly base in Athens, Greece, set on Patroou 5 in the Plaka area where you can step out into one of the city’s most walkable neighborhoods.

The hotel’s terrace is a simple bonus for unwinding after visiting the sights, and the lift helps when you’re coming back with shopping bags or traveling with children. Families are specifically catered for with family rooms, and the property’s express check-in/check-out is frequently cited by guests who are trying to maximize their sightseeing days.
