We recommend looking for hotels in smaller streets East of the venue, for instance around Solonos street, rather than directly on major avenues. Central areas (West of Stadiou avenue) can be noisy, especially at night.
Many hotels do not offer breakfast buffets but will deliver breakfast to your room (from a local bakery, at additional cost). We recommend checking Google Maps reviews for 'noise' and 'breakfast' keywords.
