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.

I guess most people like marshmallow beds, so I shouldn't complain about that. Apart from that, nothing comes to mind. This was more expensive than I normally pay, and the quality was obvious.

Hotel is very centrally located, being only a short walk to the Acropolis & Museum, Ancient Agora, Roman Forum, Hadrians Library etc as well as being right next to the high street making it easy to simply walk out of the hotel and find numerous brilliant places to eat and drink. The view from the rooftop bar is also extrodinary and all the staff were super friendly and very helpful if you needed any recomendations of places to eat, drink or any advice getting around the city and seeing the sights.

N/A

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.

The soundproofing on the rooms was non-existent. I could hear what was happening in someone else’s bathroom in my bathroom which was a little uncomfortable. The bathroom was also rusting and had a nail sticking out which felt a little unsafe.

Excellent location in a safe neighbourhood withi walking distance to the Acropolis , other ancient sites and quaint laneways full of souvenir shops. Browse first as the prices vary a lot from shop to shop. The breakfast is amazing, everything you could want and cooked fresh, they even have some gluten free bread, cakes and biscuits ,(basic but still appreciated) . The rooftop restaurant and bar with view to the Acropolis is priceless! It looks better than in photos and so close you feel it's nearly on top of you! They also organised for us an affordable taxi to Piraeus port for 25 euros. Bed was comfortable, room spotless clean. The room is small though, like the bed is too big for it. Good wifi connection but it stops working once you reach a certain limit. Great value for money!

Neighbourhood can be noisy (but this is all of Athens centre) and light from the hotel across the street shines into your room. There are blackout curtains but they don't close properly on the sides. Bring ear plugs and eye mask though we managed ok.

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! Photo 1 is from the rooftop bar and the second is the view from our room.

Fantastic hotel, located very centrally in Plaka. Literally everything worth seeing in Athens is at a 10-15 mins walking distance. The staff were really kind and super helpful. Always there to take requests and help. The room was great size and bathroom was great too. Shower was amazing! We are so happy we included the breakfast in our booking because the breakfast buffet was splendid. Apart from the general continental items they also had eggs, beans, sausages etc. Highlight of the hotel is the rooftop bar/cafe. We loved sitting there every night and marvelling at the view of the city, specially Acropolis. Probably the best rooftop view in the city as it is one of the tallest buildings and closest to Acropolis. Would 10/10 recommend. Superb value for money. Would stay here again!

Lighting in the room could be better. But it wasn't a big deal at all, we just opened the curtains to let in more light.

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.

There is nothing to be not liked about Plaka Hotel - However, with convenience also comes some street noise that is typical of staying in any hotel within the city and can be easily addressed with earplugs and the fan running.

Location is near a church, a few mini-markets, lots of shops & restaurants. A very happening place. A few minutes walk from Syntagma Square where the X95 airport bus stop & Syntagma metro station are located. View at the hotel Rooftop Garden Snack Bar is stunning. Breakfast spread was good. Able to have very early breakfast before our day tours to Olympia & Meteora. Hotel was fully booked on the days we were there. So, book early. Overall, good. Will stay again.

Stayed in Family Room on first two days. Family Room is actually two connecting rooms with a bathroom in each room, double bed is too near the table & wall. A bit tight, but it has a balcony, which is a bonus. Managed to book Superior double room on the 3rd day. This room is spacious. So, try to book Superior double. Comfortable bed.

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.

Ask when would be a less busy time for breakfast as the room can get quite cramped. It's on a busy road which would impact crazy Athens traffic if you're in a rush to get somewhere by road.
