The two other students and I got a cab to the Airotel Parthenon from the airport and we got to the hotel at around 1:30. I had a single the first two nights in Athens and the room was absolutely gorgeous. The hotel is quite literally around the corner from the Acropolis. The hotel is quite different than any hotel I have ever been to in the States. First, to get electricity, you must plug your key into the wall. Second, the elevator- you manually open the door (like normal doors) and they are big enough to fit two people if they get cozy...there is a video coming soon of the elevators because these things are wild.
Also, the door knobs at the Airotel don't turn...there is a button on the top that you push. It really made me feel like a stupid American...oh, and there was a fully stocked mini-bar with a lot of alcohol. I didn't take any though because mini bars charge a lot and I don't feel the need to drink while I'm here.
