Das Eigentum — Pella Inn
Pella Inn is a no-frills 3-star in central Athens, a short walk from Omonia Square. The lobby is small and tiled, practical rather than pretty, and the staff are briskly efficient. It suits budget travellers who want a clean, safe base near the metro and don't mind a functional, dated interior. You trade atmosphere for location and a proper Greek breakfast included in the rate.
Chroniken von Athens
Athens has been continuously inhabited for over 3,400 years, with its recorded history beginning in the Mycenaean period. Classical Athens in the 5th century BC produced the Parthenon on the Acropolis, the landmark that still dominates the skyline. After Ottoman rule ended in the 1830s, the city was rebuilt as the capital of the new Greek state, acquiring neoclassical buildings now seen in Plaka and along Panepistimiou. The 20th century brought rapid expansion, and today's Athens is a sprawling, energetic metropolis where ancient ruins sit alongside concrete apartment blocks and a vibrant street café culture.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Athens-Guide →Die besten Monate
April – May and October: spring and autumn offer warm, pleasant days (20–25°C), fewer tourists than summer, and lower hotel rates. Sightseeing is comfortable without the intense heat.
Peak / Festival Surge
July – August are the hottest and busiest months, driven by European summer holidays and the Athens & Epidaurus Festival (theatre and music). Hotel prices in central Athens can double; Pella Inn will likely charge its high-season rate of about €100-120/night.
Budget Schulter Saison
March and November are the best shoulder months for budget travel: flight and hotel discounts of 30–50%, temperatures of 15–20°C, and minimal crowds. Some ferry schedules to the islands reduce, but city exploration is fine.
Wetter & Verpackung
Athens in early July is scorching, with average highs of 34°C and intense midday sun; it's also dry, with almost no rain. Pack light linen or cotton clothing, a sunhat, and sunglasses, plus comfortable walking shoes for the uneven ancient streets – and a reusable water bottle you can refill at the many public fountains.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Athens
- Athens metro line 1 (green line) is running reduced service on Sundays until late July for track upgrades; check the OASA app for real-time schedules.
- The Athens & Epidaurus Festival runs June–August; the programme includes ancient drama at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, just a 20-minute walk from Pella Inn. Book tickets online early.
- New pedestrianised walkway linking the Acropolis to the Ancient Agora has recently opened, making a walking route from the hotel (via Monastiraki) much easier and safer.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Pella Inn, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 or 4 at the rear of the building, away from Ermou Street. These floors are high enough to reduce street-level noise while avoiding potential roof or lift machinery sounds on higher floors.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 1 and 2 facing Ermou Street, as the commercial pedestrian zone brings foot traffic and deliveries throughout the day. Also avoid any rooms adjacent to the lift shaft or directly above the lobby, which can have door slams and early-morning luggage noise.
Best views
Rooms facing Ermou Street offer a lively view of pedestrianised shopping streets and distant Acropolis glimpses, but trade off quiet. Rear rooms have cityscape views but are calmer.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest, assuming a standard 4-5 storey building typical of this area. Higher floors may be quieter still if the hotel extends above 5, but without confirmed data, 3 and 4 are safest.
🔊 Noise notes
Ermou Street is a bustling pedestrian thoroughfare from 10am to late evening, with street performers, vendors, and crowds. Expect daytime noise and occasional late-night revellers. The hotel's entrance at 104 Ermou sits near a junction, so traffic from intersecting streets can filter in. Earplugs recommended for light sleepers.
Insider tips
Ask for a room on floor 3 or 4, rear-facing, when booking. If you need quiet for work or jet lag, request a room away from the lift. The hotel has no parking; use the 'Parking Ermou' garage 200m east on Ermou Street for €12/day.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top-Attraktionen in Athens
💡 Go on Sunday morning when it's busiest and more antiques appear. Watch your pockets in crowds. The adjacent Monastiraki Square has good souvlaki for €3-4.
💡 The permanent collection covers ancient Greek to modern coins. The building itself—designed by Ernst Ziller—is worth seeing. Café has good coffee at Athens prices (around €3).
💡 Bring water and a snack. The small zoo in the corner is free too—but skip it if you don't like cramped animal enclosures.
💡 Climb up from Dionysiou Areopagitou street—it's a 10-minute hike. Bring a hat in summer; there's little shade near the top. Best at sunset for photos.
💡 Go at 8am when gates open. Crowds build fast, and by 10am it's shoulder-to-shoulder. Check the official site for updated dates.
