So first, I recommend you read Matt Barrett's Athens Guide on Hotels. It is very helpful and tries to explain the absurd rating system. I agree with him about finding a decent C-category hotel (with AC!) in/within walking distance of the Plaka (which is located underneath the Acropolis). Sure the area is touristy and crowded, but everything is accessible and you will be able to get around easiest here.
Here are a couple links to comparing hotels in Athens:
Booking.com
Athens-Greece
As far as hostels in Athens check out these links: HostelsWeb and Hostels.
I would book now, because hotels/hostels fill up fast especially in Athens and in August.
The NYTimes has a whole travel section on Greece and actually, recently, wrote up a really interesting article about a new, ecclectic, artsy, up-and-coming area of Athens: Gazi. I think it sounds worth checking out if you're in Athens for a more than one day.
