Athens, Greece anyone?

I want to go to Athens, Greece sometime soon, so I started looking around at hotels on hotelbook.com. I found the following three hotels I liked:

• Classical Acropol Hotel
• St. George Lycabettus Hotel
• Metropolitan Hotel

The Classical Acropol Hotel is located on the Omonia Square in the heart of the business, shopping, restaurant and theatre district. It is within walking distance from the Acropolis, the Odeon of Herodus Atticus, the Ancient Market, the Pnyx, the National Archaeological Museum and the oldest district of Athens, the Plaka.

St. George Lycabettus Hotel is a boutique style property located in the most exclusive quarter of Athens, Kolonaki, the business, shopping and entertainment centre. It features panoramic views of the Acropolis and Athens, and there are two exclusive restaurants and fine bars.

The Metropolitan Hotel is ideally located for both business and leisure travelers and has views of the Acropolis and the Aegean. It is just 10 minutes from the centre of Athens.

I cannot decide which hotel I should stay at and was wondering if anyone has stayed at these places? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I live in Athens and I would suggest the St. George Lycabettus among the three you mention. It is well located although on top of a steep street but the area is nice. The other two hotels that you mention are not convenient because of their location.The first one is located in the worst part of central Athens (among drug dealers and immigrants) and the third one (Metropolitan) is quite far from the center (a good hotel though). Hope this helps.
