 Kypseli has several hotels and offers a nice alternative for people who would like to stay in a typical Athenian neighborhood rather than in the center of Athens because it is so easy to get downtown from here. The 2-Star Hotel Diva is on Sporadon Street
within easy walking distance of both Fokionos Negri, Agios Giorgiou and at least half a dozen trolley routes to downtown Athens. Even better is the 3-star Best Western Dore which is half a block from Fokionos on the quiet Agia Zoni pedestrian street, close to just about everything. Newly renovated, its a boutique hotel with highspeed internet and a breakfast room cafe. For those looking for a 5-star the Park
Hotel overlooks Pedion Areos, the largest park in Athens and is just a ten minute walk from Kypseli. But for those who are living in downtown Athens a visit to Kypseli is pretty easy. If you are staying at the Hotel Attalos on Athinas street you can just cross the street and take the 035 right to Platia Kypseli which is the top of Fokionos Negri. To get back you can catch it on its return trip by crossing Kypseli Street and walking two blocks
to Kerkyras street. From Syntagma Square you can take the 2,4 or 9 trolley in front of the park or walk down Panapistimiou and all three buses will take you to Platia Kypseli. The 5,7,11 and 13 trolleys go up Patission and you can get off at Agiou Melitiou or Platia Amerikis and walk to the bottom of Fokionos. If you take the metro to Victoria you can walk up Heyden one short block to Patission and its about 10 blocks to Agio Meletiou and Fokionos. The easiest way of course is to just take a taxi to
either Platia Kypseli or Fokionos Negri and it will cost you all of three euros from pretty much anywhere downtown. See more hotels in Athens
