We arrived at the Eridanus with a scary late night cab ride from the airport. We were greeted by the excellent front desk staff and our room was upgraded to an Acropolis view room. Our friends that arrived the next day didn't get an upgrade because the hotel was full but the staff was very accomodating.
The rooms were very comfortable although the shower is somewhat odd with the toilet in the shower area.
One of the best restaurants in Athens, Varoulko, is right next door.
The hotel's breakfast buffet is one of the best I've had.

After spending many stays at five star chain hotels (Hilton, Sheraton etc.) the Hotel Eridanus provided somewhat of a refreshing feeling. Those other hotels know that they can charge what they want for any ammenity, but the Eridanus was different and that is why I liked it so much.

The area itself is close but not in the center of town. The hotel is a short walk to the Thissio metro station as well as numerous bars and cafes (close to the metro station), night clubs (around the corner), some churches (across the street) and two synagogues (two blocks away). It's design is very elegant and the area is definently up and coming.

The rooms were spacious, clean and full of amenities like 24 internet access for 9.50 Euros compared to 2 euros for five minutes at the Hilton Athens. The soft drinks in the mini bar were free of charge and the bathroom kits were of high quality.

The staff was extremely helpful too. I asked for help with going to a football match in Athens, and they provided me with a list of matches, times, prices and directions for how to reach the stadium.

The only problem you can have with this hotel is if your room faces the street and you are a very light sleeper. The street is not too noisy but could bother light sleepers. Other than that, if I ever go back to Athens I will return to this hotel.

The Eridanus offers personal service in a hip, comfortable setting. The location is equidistant to both artsy, happening cafes and the Athens club scene with revelers out 'til all hours. From the robes, to the complementary mini-bar beverages and Hermes bath products, this hotel may be small but offers elegant and individualized touches. Our room located on the first floor was spacious and roomy, especially for an urban property. My sole critique was that our streetside view did not have soundproof windows to block out the traffic whizzing by. For those looking for a unique experience while in Athens, definitely try the Eridanus.

We stayed at the Eridanus for three nights in early November. I can't criticize a thing. Room 501 is huge, with a spectacular view of the Acropolis from a large and comfortable patio. In addition to the usual
costly drinks, the mini-fridge was stocked with free water and soft drinks. The bed was quite comfortable. In addition, we had a comfortable couch and chair --plenty of room to relax without feeling confined. A very large wall unit contained a safe and plenty of drawer
and closet space----very well-designed. The bathroom was stocked with good quality amenities. Everything was immaculate.

The hotel staff is first rate. They were welcoming, helpful, and spoke
beautiful English. We knew we'd arrive jet-lagged, so we arranged by email for the hotel to have a taxi meet us at the airoprt (45 euros).
The staff was happy to store our bags after check-out and get is a taxi to the pier at Piraeus for our continued travels.

We found the hotel restaurant to be quite good---and very convenient on arrival day, when we weren't motivated to go exploring quite yet. Dinner for 2 was slightly over 100 euros with wine. The service was great.

We are enthusiatic walkers, and never found it necessary to take a taxi or public transportation as we explored all the must-see sights.
The hotel is quite close to the Keramikos (ancient cemetery) which we almost skipped, but which turned out to be a highlight.

Eridanus is a small, reasonably priced and wonderful hotel which I would recommend to anyone.
