Best Western Hotel Zinon occupies a seven-story main building with an adjoining annex at the corner of Keramikou and Zinonos streets, on the edge of the Metaxourgeio district about 400 meters from Omonia Square. Built in 1970 and renovated in 2004, the hotel reflects an older generation of Athens city-center properties built to serve the commercial district around the main railway approaches into Larissis Station.
With fifty-five rooms across the two buildings, the hotel is a straightforward mid-century business hotel rather than a boutique property, offering a lobby bar, an air-conditioned restaurant, and a twenty-four-hour reception. Metaxourgeio itself, a former silk-factory district that gives the neighborhood its name, has become one of Athens' more active contemporary art districts over the past fifteen years, with galleries occupying former industrial buildings nearby.
The area around Omonia and the approach to Larissis Station carries a mixed reputation, with pockets of urban wear alongside newer renovations, and guests should expect a functional rather than polished streetscape immediately outside. That said, the hotel's price point and proximity to both Metaxourgeio metro station and Omonia's transit connections make it a practical base for budget travelers prioritizing location over ambiance.
