Plaka Hotel

The view on the website sold this to me, and I booked a trip a year before I intended to. Great location, two minutes from Monastiraki, ten from Syntagma, lots of restaurants and shops nearby. I'm not a huge restaurant person or shopper but it all looked great. Nice hotel, unobtrusive staff, pleasant room. Nice roomy breakfast room: I only ever have cereal at breakfast, but there seemed to be plenty of choice for those with bigger appetites in the morning. As with all hotels and apartments everywhere, I found the bed too soft, but that's just me and my bad back complaining. Small balcony, not designed for sitting out of an evening: for that you go up to the lovely roof garden and have a beer or cocktail as the sky darkens and the city lights come on, and the Acropolis gazes down as she has for countless centuries. It was early May so the breeze was a bit cool by ten o'clock, but it's hard to tear yourself away. All around you the night sounds of the city ring out: music on the wind, cheering and clapping from nearby bars, laughter and voices echoing up from the lanes of Plaka.

The staff were so lovely, the location made most sites in athens walkable to and the breakfast had lots of options! The rooftop bar had a wonderful view.

A perfectly positioned hotel in the Plaka area of Athens, not even a 15-minute walk to the Acropolis (get there early it's awesome first thing). So close to squares and all the shopping, you can hope for. It's a perfect position to spend your day exploring, then come back and get changed to hit Athens at night. Staff were really helpful, brekky was great and the bed was so comfy, like stupidly comfy. Loved our stay, and we'll definitely go back!

The hotel is in a very nice location with a very hospitable staff and convenient to walk to the major attractions nearby. Christina from reservations promptly answered our inquiries before the arrival and also suggested that it would be best to take a taxi from the airport rather than the metro. The breakfast is excellent with plenty of choices. While in the breakfast room, Eva at the front desk would be there talking to the guests to help plan for the day. She gave us very useful tips for journey to our next destination within Greece. The air conditioned room was comfortable as advertised. The rooftop bar has excellent views of Acropolis and Plaka neighborhood and has a good choice of cocktails.

A really awesome find in a very central location - just 4 minutes walk from Monastiraki Square and the metro station making it really easy access to the airport. Very close to other great sights and no more than 15 minute walk to pretty much most places you'd want to visit in central Athens. Great breakfast. The economy rooms are lovely with clean, modern bathrooms. Some rooms have amazing views of the Acropolis from your window. Friendly and helpful staff. Supermarket right downstairs. Great rooftop bar with awesome views of Acropolis.
