What a great hotel in the Plaka area with an amazing view of the Acropolis !!! Easy access to historical area with great food choices nearby. Hotel is first rate with all the amenities. Reserving an Acropolis view room was such a good choice! Wonderful view from top floor bar also. Breakfast was a full array of choices with a... More

We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights in may. On arrival we´ve got a room with a view of Acropolis (and a many chimneys and metal things on the way as well), as we have booked, but unfortunately well smoked in the bathroom and well parfumed in the room itself. This despite we asked and have received the confirmation... More

We stayed at his hotel for 2 nights and it was faultless. A special thank you to Eva and Michael for the wonderful service, very attentive and willing to help. We had a wonderful room on the 6th floor with Acropolis view, which was spectacular. The breakfast was plentiful with a great choice. The Greek yoghurt and honey in particular... More

We stayed here for 4 nights in a longer week-end city break. The hotel is small but comfortable and very close to Acropolis, in the heart of old district Plaka and close to the hype area of Monastiraki. The room was small but clean and the personnel is very friendly. The breakfast was good, several type of cheeses, vegetables, cakes... More

After several stays in Athens I could book in this hotel early enough, at last, because it’s often full. Indeed this hotel has been reviewed and appreciated for decades. First you couldn’t be more centrally located, at the foot of the Acropolis in the lively area of Monastiraki and directly linked to the airport by the metro, the station is... More

We stayed 3 nights in May. The hotel is in a fabulous location. You can walk pretty much to all the major tourist spots from here as it is in the centre of Athens! The room was small but very comfortable. I suspect all rooms this close to the centre of town will be cosy. The roof top terrace/ bar... More

We stayed at the Plaka Hotel for five nights. The location is excellent, within walking distance of the Acropolis and Syntagma Square. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, especially Michael on reception and Elsa who ran the roof top bar so efficiently.

This is a great place to stay to visit Athens. It's just on the edge of the Plaka area, with its narrow, picturesque streets. And it's about 20 mins walk from the Acropolis. Our room was quite small, but had everything we needed, including an excellent shower. We also had a fine view of the Acropolis, which we appreciated. The... More
