Our first trip to Athens after travelling around Italy for 3 weeks and couldn't have found a better location than the Plaka Hotel. I can't compare as it was our only stay, but I doubt I would look anywhere else on my return trip. The location was excellent. The staff were more than helpful. The food was great and even... More

We only spent 2 nights at this hotel but we loved every second of it! It was close to dozens of restaurants in the Plaka area and 2 blocks from the Metro service. The rooms were clean and cozy. Front staff helped us when we had our passports stolen and allowed us to keep our suitcases in a locked room... More

After deciding to go to Athens, this was one of the first hotels I saw and I didn't need to look any further. I travelled in a group of 14, so had booked four triple rooms and two singles. The location couldn't be any better for a weekend trip to Athens - the hotel overlooks the Acropolis, and is within... More

We selected this hotel (November 2011) based on a very reasonable price and a supurb location in the heart of the Plaka district. Walking distance to ALL the major historic attractions with restaurants and shops nestled nearby. Only two blocks from a Metro stop. Our room was bright, clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was generous (but no decaf coffee)... More

Once I discovered the Hotel Plaka in 2004, I haven't stayed anywhere else in Athens. I've been travelling to Greece every year on vacation since 1974, so I've tried many of the Athenian hotels. What amazes me about the Hotel Plaka is that every time I return, I find that the hotel just keeps getting better and better! In fact... More

We found the Plaka to be really well suited to our needs! We had asked for one of the renovated rooms with a view of the Acropolis and that is exactly what we were given. The 'Plaka' is specifically the area right around the ancient ruins of the Acropolis, Agoras and other sites, it is very picturesque and staying here... More

Our double room (one bed) was a wee tiny room. Clean, comfortable, good bathroom (for it's size), enough room to open luggage, but not much else. Nice breakfast buffet, helpful staff. The best part of this hotel is apparently it's roof-top lounge, which we never made it to, it was FREEZING. However, our room had an AMAZING view of the... More

I shared a twin room with an Acropolis view with my sister and the room, view and whole stay was perfect. You couldn't ask for a better view in Athens. The room was on the 3rd floor and you could use the stairs or lift to get there. Spacious room with a large shower. It was clean and had a... More

The location of the hotel is excellent, 5 mins from Syntagma Square where the X95 bus (5 Euros for approx. 1 Hr transfer from the airport) dropped us off. It is in the heart of the dining and shopping areas and the view of the Acropolis from the rooftop terrace is superb. The staff on the reception are all extremely... More
