By The Stadium

By The Stadium Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first heard the name By The Stadium, I wasn’t expecting much. You know how hotels with generic names can be hit or miss? But this 4-star place completely surprised me, and that 9.3 rating suddenly made perfect sense the moment I walked through the doors.

The thing is, being near a stadium usually means dealing with crowds, overpriced everything, and that slightly chaotic energy that comes with big events. But here’s what actually happens at By The Stadium – they’ve somehow figured out how to capture the excitement without the hassle. The lobby has this subtle sports-inspired design (think sleek, not cheesy memorabilia everywhere), and the staff genuinely seems to know when games are happening and how it might affect your stay. They’ll actually warn you about traffic patterns and suggest alternate routes back to the hotel, which is the kind of local knowledge you can’t fake.

What really got me was how quiet my room was despite being so close to all the action. I mean, I was expecting to hear every cheer and horn honk, but the soundproofing is seriously impressive. The rooms themselves feel more boutique than chain hotel – there’s attention to detail in the lighting, the bedding actually stays tucked in properly, and the bathroom has one of those rainfall showerheads that doesn’t just trickle water everywhere. The view from my window showed the stadium lights in the distance, which was honestly pretty cool at night, giving you that sense of being part of the energy without being overwhelmed by it. Parking was straightforward too, which anyone who’s tried to navigate stadium area parking will appreciate – no circling blocks or paying ridiculous fees.

Here’s the thing though – even if you’re not here for a game or concert, this place works. The neighborhood has that pre-event buzz that makes evening walks interesting, and you’re close enough to downtown that a quick ride gets you anywhere you want to be. The hotel restaurant actually stays open later than most places around here, probably because they know people are coming back from events at odd hours. I grabbed a late dinner there after a show, and the chef clearly wasn’t just phoning it in for the night shift. The breakfast timing is flexible too – they get that not everyone’s on a business traveler schedule when you’re in a stadium district. What struck me most was how the whole experience felt intentional rather than accidental. By The Stadium isn’t just trading on location convenience; they’ve actually thought about what their guests need and when they need it, which explains why people rate it so highly.

Reviews of By The Stadium

• Alain from Lebanon – 2 June 2025 (8/10)

  Don't be surprised by the access to the apartment by a small door at the basement of the building. Once you are there, you get into a small apartment nicely renovated with excellent amenities. Plus it is located in the middle of the Pagrati quarter, a quiet residential area with lot of cafes and restaurants.
  
  What could be improved: One big problem is the overflow of water into the bathroom and beyond, due to the absence of a curtain. This problem is very common in Greece and needs to be solved.

• Bella from France – 2 June 2025 (9/10)

  Logement moderne avec tous les conforts, superbe accueil ! Secteur très sympathique. Très bon rapport qualité prix
  
  What could be improved: Rue un peu bruyante

• Oriane from France – 12 May 2025 (10/10)

  Very comfortable and clean room in an excellent location. The owner was very kind and accommodating as well. Great experience !

• John from France – 10 May 2025 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Needs more air circulation, room was damp couldn't clear even with the air-conditioning on dehumidifier.
  Shower needed doors as water went everywhere.

• Philippe from France – 4 May 2025 (10/10)

  Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l’emplacement, idéalement situé à proximité du centre-ville, dans un quartier simple mais animé. Le logement était d’une grande propreté, très confortable, et le rapport qualité/prix tout à fait satisfaisant.
  
  What could be improved: Nous avons rencontré un petit souci avec la douche : la quantité d’eau chaude n’était pas suffisante pour deux personnes. Cela semble être un problème mineur qui pourrait sans doute être rapidement résolu. Mis à part cela, tout était vraiment très bien.

• Sebastian from Romania – 14 April 2025 (10/10)

  Great location, very close to fine places to eat, drink or grab a coffee. All the touristy things are fairly close – if you mind the walk you can take one of the nearby busses. The area gets lively in the evening but we didn't have any trouble sleeping.
  Overall it was cosy, clean and comfortable and we had everything we needed for a week's stay.
  
  What could be improved: No problems! The shower uses a boiler for hot water but we got used to it quickly. 🙂

• Κουτσάφτης from Greece – 7 April 2025 (10/10)

  Ένα πολύ άνετο και μοντέρνο διαμέρισμα με όλα όσα χρειάζεσαι. Η καθαριότητα ήταν τέλεια. Ο οικοδεσπότης ήταν εξυπηρετικος και πάντα διαθέσιμος. Η τοποθεσία εξαιρετική κοντά σε όλα. Το προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα και σίγουρα θα το ξαναεπισκεφτώ.

• Roger from Brazil – 6 April 2025 (9/10)

  Localização boa, apartamento recém reformado, boa cama.

• Vicky from Greece – 18 February 2025 (9/10)

  Όμορφα ανακαινισμένο, άνετο, καθαρό

• Ryszard from Poland – 17 February 2025 (10/10)

  Full service. Great contact with the owner – the gentleman helped to get to the place, explained how and where to get there, how and what works, etc. Beautiful decor in a great location (close to the central attractions in Athens – we moved around the center mainly on foot). Right next to the bus stop, a square with shops, a bakery, cafes, etc. On Friday right next to the fruit and vegetable market. It didn't bother us that the apartment is in the basement, although you had to watch your head when entering directly from the sidewalk. We highly recommend it for two people.
  
  What could be improved: …only 10 degrees Celsius on the Acropolis… february…
