Lock in a great price for Phaedra Hotel – rated 8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Obviously the location was perfect. Our room was quite spacious and our balcony had a nice view. The staff was very friendly. We missunderstood that the breakfast was included with the room, but this wasn't the case. They only let us pay for 1 of the days we had breakfast, which was a really fair thing of them to do!

Sasha, Netherlands

The hotel location was very convenient, close to metro, acropolis, in a very nice neighbourhood. The rooms are small but clean.

_nihan_, Turkey

The location was excellent as it was close to Monesteriki, Plaka, and the Acropolis. Staff was good. We had a cancelled flight causing us to show up 1 day late. Managent was nice enough to not charge us for the second night with minimal notice.

Jack, Canada

Perfect location, very close to the Akropole and the metro. Staff is really nice. The view from our room was great!

Mariana, France

Location was excellent. Staff friendly and helpful.

Anonymous, Australia

Location of the Hotel in the historic Plaka district was fantastic. Tavernas, shops and markets all on the doorstep and felt completely safe wandering around at night. Metro stations are all close by. Staff were really helpful, a lovely breakfast was available to take up to the terrace in the morning, literally under the Acropolis. The rooms are quite basic but very clean and we had a lovely little balcony overlooking the street below. If you are looking for a luxury hotel you may be disappointed but as a place to base yourself while exploring the amazing city of Athens this is perfect.

Alison, Australia

Super friendly family-owned hotel. Maria knew I do not speak Greek and called me a cab. The hotel is just 4 min from the 'Acropolis' metro stop in the middle of Plaka. But the place is quiet (+ tight windows keep possible noise out). Great Acropolis views from roof terrace. Nice small breakfast is available.

Mechthild, United States of America

The rooftop terrace gives an incredible view on the Acropolis, especially at night.

Madretierra, United States of America

The hotel is a five minute walk from the Acropolis metro stop and the Acropolis Museum. Amazing location for a reasonable price ! It is quiet at night as it borders the pedestrian zone. A bonus is the taxi stand just outside their door so if you have a very early morning flight the hotel will arrange it for you beforehand. Clean, basic rooms and it is nice to have an elevator.

Sabrina, Germany

Perfect location, right in the middle of everything. Perfect for a night or two to explore Athens.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“Great location, clean, and helpful staff. Amazing view of the acropolis from the roof top patio!!!”

Jade and Tyler
Canada

Canada

“The location is very practical if you want to be within walking distance of the main monuments and central places of Athens: Acropolis, Acropolis Museum, Plaka, Monastiraki, Syntagma Square, Temple of Zeus, Hadrian's Arch, Tower of the Winds, etc., etc.. The metro is also relatively close - a 10 m walk from the hotel and can be a good option to get to Athens airport. Very friendly staff and very clean bedroom, with a balcony with a view to the Acropolis. A terrace in the roof with tables and chairs and precious views of the city, ideal to enjoy an athenian sunset. The zone has lots of shops, restaurants and coffee shops.”

Susana

Portugal

“This was a friendly budget hotel with no frills. However, the location was perfect - right in the centre of Plaka and a lovely view of the Acropolis from our bedroom window. The staff were friendly and helpful and there is a nice roomy roof terrace on top of the hotel with great views. For the price we paid it was perfect for our stay.”

눉The bed was hard. I for myself slept perfect, and so did my girlfriend, but I can imagine it won't be everyone's favorite. I also wouldn't go for the breakfast, as there are many nice spots nearby where you have more atmosphere and more choice. If you do choose to go for the breakfast, the yoghurt is really nice! The rest really, really basic, but not untasty!
눇Obviously the location was perfect. Our room was quite spacious and our balcony had a nice view. The staff was very friendly.

눉Staff was terrible. In the morning, we were greeted by a man that hardly speaks, not because he does not know english, but he just does not want to. In the afternoon, there was another man who is kind but he asked extra of 5 euros to arrange a taxi to the airport. At night , there was this another man who is very kind, and arranged us a taxi without asking for an extra, plus he made sure that we paid correct amount to the driver.
눇The hotel location was very convenient, close to metro, acropolis, in a very nice neighbourhood. The rooms are small but clean.

“Budget hotel”

눉The hotel is old, specially our bathroom (outside the room, very old and really in the need of some renovation). For us the main problem is the mattress that was super old. It was very difficult for us to sleep because you could feel the spring a lot and it made a lot noise. I have never slept in such a bad mattress before (and i'm not very exigent for this kind of stuff). In general, it's a budget hotel and it would be really ok for us if the mattress was a better one.
눇Perfect location, very close to the Akropole and the metro. Staff is really nice. The view from our room was great!
