About
Diethnes Hotel
Diethnes Hotel sits in a historic building opposite a small school, within a 2-minute walk of Larissis Metro and train station. It’s a straightforward, 2-star property that leans on location and service rather than frills. The building’s old bones give rooms high ceilings and corridors with windows, creating an airy feel that several guests noted.
Inside, expect clean, simply furnished rooms with free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a mini-bar. The hotel keeps things practical: 24-hour reception, luggage storage, a lift, and a terrace/roof garden that gets a mention for its views. Breakfast is served in a cafe style with toast, fresh bread, and cheese – included in some rates. It’s not fancy, but it’s honest.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Exceptionally convenient for Larissis Station — Both the metro and main train station are a 2-minute walk away, making arrivals, departures, and day trips effortless.
- Staff go out of their way — From reception to housekeeping, guests repeatedly praise a warm, helpful team that makes the stay feel personal.
- Clean, comfortable rooms in a characterful old building — High ceilings, airy corridors, and daily housekeeping stand out – plus some rooms have balconies and views.
- A roof garden with a local feel — A quiet spot to unwind, with views over the neighbourhood – a simple but appreciated bonus.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Neighbourhood feel is basic — The area around the station is simple and not the prettiest part of Athens. Most guests felt safe, but the setting is functional rather than charming.
- Facilities are minimal — With a low Facilities score, expect a no-frills stay – no gym, pool, or business centre, and breakfast is basic (toast, bread, cheese).
- Comfort rating is modest — Rooms are clean but not luxurious – some may find beds or furnishings basic. The low Comfort score (5.0) reflects a simple, older building.
- No parking and no pets — There’s no on-site parking (and no mention of nearby options), and the policy is strictly no pets – worth knowing before you book.

7.5Verified guest“The staff were very welcoming, and I loved the look of the hotel – a nice old building with high ceilings and windows in the corridors that made it feel airy. It was very clean. The area isn’t the best part of town, but it’s opposite a small school and no more than 2 minutes from the train station. I didn’t feel unsafe coming back at night. Good value for money.”
7.5Verified guest“The location was convenient and ideal, close to the city centre. It’s about a mile from tourist spots like Galpin Auto Sports. Breakfast at the cafe included toast, fresh bread, and cheese.”
7.5Verified guest“A quiet and fairly clean hotel with helpful, proactive staff. The single room had a lovely bed, a hair dryer, a balcony, and Wi-Fi. Breakfast was outstanding – toast, breads, and cheese. Location is convenient and ideal, close to the station and only about a 15-minute walk to Athens centre.”
