"This was our first time in Athens and Hotel Indigo did not disappoint. It was beautifully decorated and the rooms have a "wow" factor. The beds are comfortable and everything felt clean and well maintained. The front desk person who checked us in was very nice and allowed us to check in early, which was very much appreciated after being on the road for six hours. We had complimentary breakfast vouchers, and it was delicious. We will definitely stay at Hotel Indigo again!"

Top Downtown Athens Hotel Reviews

The University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education & Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was small in hotel was a little noisy but other than that, it was amazing. Close to campus"

Hotel Indigo Athens University Area by IHG

4/10 Poor

"When we left our room at 11:00 AM Housekeeping was in the hallway. We asked did we need to request housekeeping she said no she would clean the room. When we returned to the room at 3:00 the room was not clean and housekeeping was gone for the day. We had to pack up and change rooms. Get to our new clean room and the television lost its signal during the NBA playoffs. We spent Cadillac money for a KIA experience."

The Bell Athens by Kasa Living

10/10 Excellent

"It is such a nice elegent place to stay. It was very clean and had plenty of snacks and drinks for you to enjoy in your room and on the property. The loby and terace had snacks as well as soda, seltzer water, and bottled water for you to enjoy. The host provided some local chocolate, a cookie, as well as a token to turn in for a discount at a local coctail bar. The only thing that was disappointing is that the photos showed and labeled a bar on site. There is no bar but as long as you arent expecing one you are well provided for. Great place and would definitely stay again."
