“Indifferent service the order of the day...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

I always stay in the Plaka, usually at the Hotel Acropolis House in Kodrou Street but this time I thought I would try the Hotel Adonis directly opposite. Suffice it to say that I will be reverting to my tried and trusted friend Acropolis House…

Everything about this hotel got my back up. It was €70 for a tiny, dark, viewless room with the smallest shower room I have ever seen. Breakfast was dreary with cereal, bread and instant coffee with long life milk. I was on a carb free diet - when I asked if there wasn’t something else other than bread (meaning fruit or something like that), they offered me cake. Call me Marie Antoinette - it gave the concept of “let them eat cake” an entirely new dimension…!

The breakfast area has a lovely view facing on to the Acropolis. As I entered there were a number of empty tables each with four chairs and each more or less the same size. I had no sooner settled myself down when I was asked to move to another table which, to the uninitiated, looked exactly the same size with the same number of chairs…go figure as our American cousins would say! Not the end of the world but it all just added to my feeling of annoyance and irritation.

My pet hate is indifferent service and this hotel had it by the bucket load. Not EVEN rude if you know what I mean…they just didn’t care at all. My lock didn’t work, there was no aircon – yes, it was all eventually sorted out but without so much as an apology. Returning to the hotel in the evening I had become used to a friendly greeting and a smile – not here. I will not be staying at this hotel again.

“GOOD HOTEL QUALITY PRICE”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

Good hotel excellent price for the position. Rooms average size, new bathroom, personnel very nice and helpful. Only bad thing was the heat in the room. You have to ask for it if you do not have it on. I recommend this hotel in the center of Plaka.

“Highly recommended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

person found this review helpful

I loved this hotel. It is very reasonably priced and is in a great location, close to the action but quiet. It was clean and comfortable, and we had free wifi in our room. The included breakfast was delicious as well as having a scenic view of the Parthenon. I'd go back here any time.

Room Tip: If you have your laptop with you, ask for a room that has good connectivity.

“Small but convenient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Clean and good value, but the shower room was the smallest I have ever seen. There was heating on (November) and a view of the Acropolis(just!) from the balcony. Excellent base from which to explore the sites of central Athens and the Plaka. Although quite simple the staff took trouble and there was no feeling of indifference on the basis that with such a location they did not need to try. Reasonable breakfast in a roof top area with good views of the Acropolis for the money served by a welcoming Scottish lady

“Great location, small room, marginal internet service, affordable”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Can't argue with the location here. Just steps from Athens famous Plaka neighborhood.
I wasn't impressed with the smallish room however. The bathroom was the size of a coat closet. Internet service was not very good. Had to wait a long time to check my email. I don't bring a laptop when I travel. Hotel staff was super-friendly and accomodating. Breakfasts were nothing special. But the views of the Akropolis from there breakfast room was great.
Street noise was a bit of a problem here too.
At 70 euros/night it's still a good value in the heart of Athens.

Room Tip: I can't think of one.
