The Amazon Hotel has a prime location in the Plaka (old part of the city) right by Syntagma Square. The hotel is located not far from a pedestrian shopping street. There are also many small boutique shops scattered about. Because it is near Syntagma Square, the parliament building and the national park are nearby. It is also within walking distance of the Kolonaki, which is an upscale neighborhood in Athens. The Amazon has easy access to the subway and to an airport bus, which are big pluses.
The hotel is well-priced given the area, and the rooms are very clean and comfortable. Best Western is an international chain, so it is a little bit of a sterile experience, but you will never have problems either. Everything about the hotel is standard. They have free wi-fi in all the rooms (a big plus), the room was more than warm enough, and it came equipped with a TV. The bathroom was a little small, but we found that it stacked up well against other bathrooms we encountered on the trip.
The breakfast was the only big issue. The food wasn't very good, and the selection was poor. We both think this is due to the fact that Greeks don't really eat breakfast. They usually just have a cup of coffee and at most have a piece of spinach or cheese pie.
