After several stays in Athens I could book in this hotel early enough, at last, because it’s often full. Indeed this hotel has been reviewed and appreciated for decades. First you couldn’t be more centrally located, at the foot of the Acropolis in the lively area of Monastiraki and directly linked to the airport by the metro, the station is... More

We stayed 3 nights in May. The hotel is in a fabulous location. You can walk pretty much to all the major tourist spots from here as it is in the centre of Athens! The room was small but very comfortable. I suspect all rooms this close to the centre of town will be cosy. The roof top terrace/ bar... More

We stayed at the Plaka Hotel for five nights. The location is excellent, within walking distance of the Acropolis and Syntagma Square. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, especially Michael on reception and Elsa who ran the roof top bar so efficiently. Our room overlooked the back of the hotel so there was no street noise and we... More

Just returned from a fabulous five nights stay at the Plaka Hotel. This is a great place to stay if you want a central location in the old part of Athens. It is just off Monastiraki Square but in a quiet location with easyt access to the sights and to the tavernas in Plaka. We stayed in room 211 which... More

This is a great place to stay to visit Athens. It's just on the edge of the Plaka area, with its narrow, picturesque streets. And it's about 20 mins walk from the Acropolis. Our room was quite small, but had everything we needed, including an excellent shower. We also had a fine view of the Acropolis, which we appreciated. The... More

The location is perfect, within walking distance to all of the attractions. The hotel was very clean (most importantly) and the staff went out of their way to help us with all of the up to date tourist information. But I have to say, the roof top bar (view) is breathtaking (of the acropolis) and adds to the beautiful atmosphere... More

We stayed two nights in early May, as we passed through Athens on our way to some Greek island-hopping. The hotel is centrally located, and very well run. Rooms are fine, as one would expect for this grade of hotel. The huge surprise is the stunning view of the Acropolis from the roof top terrace. We just sat there, sipping... More

We took bus X95 from the airport and in 45-50 minutes time we were at the Syntagma square and from there it’s just 10 mints walk downhill. Plaka hotel is close in proximity to the major attractions of the area. Because of its ideal locating we did all the sightseeing on foot. It is just few minutes’ walk from Monastiraki/Plaka... More

Stayed at this hotel with my wife and daughter in may 2013 for 2 nights. Room 208 tripple. Facing one of the small streets with traffic noise mostly in the morning. Plus, church bells at 7:00 a.m. Room condition is ok. Clean. Tv is out of date. The biggest problem is stability of wifi. Equiped with bathroom. Fresh and clean.... More
