A really good choice if you want to explore Athens. The hotel is very well located, around 100 metres from Adrianou in one direction, with its tourist shops and jewellery boutiques winding all the way towards the Acropolis, and a similar distance from the flea market and the surrounding squares filled with restaurants in the other.

The rooms were perfectly fine: functional, comfortable and nothing exceptional, but equally very little to fault. Breakfast was extensive and typical of this kind of hotel, with yoghurt, fruit, pastries, Greek salad, cereals and a selection of hot options. Coffee came from a machine, but it made a perfectly decent double espresso.

The lifts were quick and efficient, which is always appreciated, but the highlight was the rooftop terrace. It has an uninterrupted view of the Parthenon and, after breakfast, we took our coffees up there and simply sat for a while taking it all in.

We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! It has a wonderful old-world charm with beautiful wood doors and classic décor, yet everything is exceptionally well maintained. The location couldn't be better—it's within walking distance of the metro, supermarkets, shopping, restaurants, and many of Athens' iconic attractions.

Our room was spotless, comfortable, and had a beautiful view of the Acropolis. The breakfast buffet offered a great variety, and the dining area was a wonderful place to start the day.

The staff truly went above and beyond. We had an early morning flight, and they kindly accommodated us by allowing us to have breakfast before we left. That thoughtful gesture made a lasting impression.

Don't miss the rooftop restaurant! The views of the Acropolis are absolutely spectacular. We celebrated my husband's birthday there, and the staff seated our family at a fantastic table with an incredible view. The food, drinks, and service were all outstanding, making it a memorable evening.

I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Athens. The combination of its charm, outstanding hospitality, excellent location, and breathtaking rooftop views made our stay unforgettable.

Location is terrific. Our second time staying at The Plaka. Breakfast was plentiful and good. The restaurant on the roof was excellent. The front staff were just ok. The room had no amenities, not even tissues. The room is very dark, lighting poor. No chairs on small balcony. The bathroom was also dark, the tiles in the shower were cracked, but great water pressure for showering. The beds were very comfortable with great blankets. A/C worked well. The desk clerk came around each morning at breakfast to be sure we had plans for the day and offered help if needed. They called for a taxi for us to go to pier. 2 small elevators are available. Overall the location is the best and the hotel is comfortable and clean

We stayed 3 nights. A great little hotel right in the middle of a very vibrant area of Athens. Markets, restaurants, history only steps away. Buffet breakfast had some variety. Our room (superior) had a balcony and so the option of freah air! A very effective shower (good for hair washing). Terrace bar on the roof had a fantastic view of Acropolis, a good variety of drinks and a great cheese/meat board. Two lifts so no long waits. It was pretty noisy (located in a noisy area and sliding door to balcony not double-glazed) and on one night we could also easily hear the very loud people in the adjoining room (but well-mannered guests would not have caused this issue). Staff were all very helpful. Luggage scales in the foyer were useful too. We would stay again.

The terrace view we had wasnt worth the extra and no chairs to sit in so rooftop was used more then terrace. Staff was helpful and grocery store on same block for snacks w fridge in room that was nice. Walked to all the sites easily from hotel. No pool as believe someone asked that.

Room was lovely - had everything I needed apart from a pen which staff were always - always kind enough to help with anything. I didn't mind the view from the room. The only two things that concerned me was the insidd bathroom door frame floor lip of the bathroom that I jabbed my toe on once - if they use a rubber seal/bevel, it would soften the blow for future people staying. And the only other thing was the main room door handle seemed loose or broken, but however the locking mechanism worked perfectly, and felt safe after testing.

Overall, I wish I could have checked in a little earlier and stayed a little longer if more days were available. I can see why it is a populae hotel and ideal place to start exploring Athens.

It could almost be a 4 star hotel, felt comfortable, beds were ideal after a long day of exploring history across the city.

Compared to my current stay now, The Plaka Hotel was spacious, and allowed comfort, closeness, and connection in essentially the heart of Athens. Worth it.

Thank you making this stay pleasant and highly recommendable. That map you gave at reception, a true life saver. I would be lost without the Plaka Hotel's guidence.
