The service at the Plaka Hotel was really great. We checked in early, got a load of food washing done (15 euro), they organised a taxi for 4am on the day we left and made us a breakfast tray. Location is excellent - so central to everything. View from the rooftop is incredible.

This hotel is in great location, walkable to lots of shopping and eating. Took the subway from the airport and was a quick walk with luggage to the hotel. At the hotel we really enjoyed the included breakfast buffet. Great selection of food, greek yogurt was the best! The rooftop bar and restaurant with it's amazing view of Acropolis was another reason we booked this hotel.

This is our second visit to Athens and Hotel Plaka. The hotel is located very close to the central square, tons of shopping, eateries, and Parthenon. The hotel has a wonderful rooftop bar and a new restaurant with a fantastic view of the Acropolis and Parthenon. The staff are friendly and extremely welcoming. They have a luggage storage area in case you get there before your room is ready. The Plaka district is a wonderful area with a lot of restaurants, shops, churches, and bustling nightlife. Located right across the street is a TGI Fridays and awesome ice cream shop. A supermarket located across the street and another around the corner are perfectly located for drinks, wine, beer, snacks and the like. Our room had a small fridge which kept our beer and munchies cold. The rooftop patio doesn’t let you take your drinks or snacks up to the roof. The bathrooms are remodeled modern and bedding and towels clean and modern. The hotel has two smaller elevators with one servicing the roof. The hallways seemed a little older and in need of a little updating. Our bed was made perfectly with a heavier comforter on top. I asked the non English speaking housekeeper for another sheet and with my drawing skills finally imparted what I wanted. The breakfast area was well stocked with European breakfast choices and the staff were very attentive and helpful. Scrambled eggs, meats, cheese, croissants, Greek salad, and fresh fruits were abundant. Juice and coffee machines worked well

Great moderately priced accommodations.
Wonderful location for sites, shopping, dinning, transportation as well. Moderately priced, and medium sized older hotel. Rooms were smaller but comfortable and clean. Very helpful staff for watching luggage, directions, and giving recommendations too. Delicious morning complementary breakfast. Incredible views of the Parthenon from the rooftop bar.

Perfect Location
The roof top view is incredible. The location of the hotel cannot be beat. Close to everything including the Metro. The staff seemed genuinely interested in helping whenever asked for assistance. May only suggestion is to add umbrellas on the roof top deck as it gets very warm in the direct sunshine.

The front desk staff were very nice. The only reason why they did not get a five star was because the restaurant staff were not really that competent or friendly.
