It was literally in the city center so a 5 minute walk from a lot of the rooftop restaurants and city square. It’s also a 15 min walk from the Parthenon which was great. We were only there for a day and had an early flight the next morning so they gave us our breakfast to go which was nice. The restaurant upstairs also had delicious food and a great view of the skyline.

The excellent and fantastic view of the acropolis both day and night. The rooftop bar was wonderful with its view of the acropolis. Looking up at it I felt like I was sitting at the feet of the Gods.

S United States of America

It's such a close wall to the Acropolis and the view of it from the rooftop restaurant was breathtaking!

The location in the Plaka was perfect. Within walking distance of many major sites, restaurants, shops and atmospheric squares and parks. The staff was extremely accommodating; even suggesting a laundry that could do our wash within a few hours. Great breakfast.
