Top Downtown Athens Hotel Reviews

Rivet House

10/10 Excellent

"A really nice place to stay with one of the best restaurants in Athens in the same building!"

Iconic Downtown Athens Condo I Sanford Stadium View I 10 Min Walk to Games

10/10 Excellent

"This is an amazing place to stay in the heart of downtown Athens. A totally "Go Dawgs" design with very thoughtful attention to detail. My favorite "extra" - the record player that works and a dozen "classic vinyls" to choose from! It is a duplex so you must be comfortable with stairs but I would happily stay here again! There are shops, restaurants and parking all within easy walking distance."

Comfort Inn & Suites Athens North

10/10 Excellent

"This facility was amazingly clean and well taken care of. The bed was so comfortable. The air conditioning was a bit loud, but very cooling. The breakfast was ok. There were lots of options. The coffee was horrible though. I would definitely recommend this hotel as it was one of the best weve stayed at in quite a while."
