Although there are lots of cheap hotel websites offering you places to stay in Athens, there aren't many good websites where you can actually book a cheap hotel in Athens. Most direct cheap hotels in Athens don't offer booking via their website directly. They may also not display online availability and the choice they offer can be limited.

Here we recommend only the best service via our team of online partners. Via Globe Traveller you can find cheap & bargain hotel deals in Athens and book online as well!

Unlike flights, as long as there is no conference or major event in your destination you will often find the best deal by leaving booking late. Booking your hotel between two and seven days in advance usually yields the cheapest hotel rooms. But don't wait until the day as prices go back up.

The cheap hotels booking websites negotiate discounted rates based on volume so it's usually cheaper to buy through them. Sometimes adding a weekend night will lower the rate for all of the other nights of your stay. Compare prices, but compare locations too. It's usually worth paying a little extra to be nearer the centre of town, or your preferred attraction.

Don't just rely on 'star' ratings. Look at the facilities the hotel has and rank hotels based on the facilities' importance to you. If you want a cheap hotel at the weekend, look at hotels in or near business districts. Business people only want hotels during the week. These hotels are usually of a 'superior' standard but, in order to attract weekend custom, they offer excellent weekend deals.
