The hotel is located between the old quarter Plaka with the Acropolis and the modern city centre with Syntagma square and the main shopping street Ermou. All main sights are within walking distance. There is a direct metro service from/to the airport at Syntagma station, which is only a few minutes' walk from the hotel. It is on a street... More

This is a basic hotel for the people who just need a place with a bed and bathroom. Basic but it does it well. Rooms are spacious with comfortable beds. Large bathroom with a bathtub. You won't hit your elbows on the walls ten times by the time you're done showering. The whole place has a homely feeling to it.... More

It was near the Acropolis and cafes which was great and the owner was very friendly and helpful. My single room was very basic and I woke up the next morning with many bites - not sure whether a very hungary mosquito or bed bugs. More

The room we stayed was clean with view to the acropolis. everything was 2 minutes walking and we felt very safe. Also we need to mention that the owner were very friendly and kind. The prices were very reasonable, and we didn't mind that the bathrooms were shared. More

John's place is very well located, the rooms are large and although the bathroom are shared, they are kept clean. The perfect spot between flights or for a few days in Athens. More

An unpretentious hotel, clean bedrooms, affordable prices (40 euros during the high season) and a very nice and funny concierge. The bathroom is on the floor, but it is very clean and with hot water. The center is very near and walking distance; the bus to the airport from Syntagma square is a walking distance, too. Ask for a room... More

This hotel is conveniently located near the Syntagama Square. It's within short walking distance to the Metro station. The hotel owner/manager is very helpful and courteous. The quad room is very spacious with 4 beds, but the double room our friends got have only one bed rather than two beds. Also, the shared bathroom may need some renovation. I've stayed... More

John's place was a real backpacking experience. We were in Europe for 5 weeks, and it was definitely the most basic place we stayed at. The balcony meant we had fresh air and a view of the street, which was ok. But there was just a bed in our room, old floor boards and everything was kind of shonky. It... More

Johns Place is in a very central part of Athens where you can walk to most of the main attractions with ease. Its an old building with worn furniture and fittings , but you pay for what you get. It is quite clean and the rooms are fairly large, and very cheap for Athens. The owner greets you whenever you... More
