Lock in a great price for Phaedra Hotel – rated 8.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

Great location, walking distance to metro. Amazing view of Acropolis. Friendly staff. Great price.

Cameron, United States of America

The view was spectacular! We were comfortable and very happy with accommodations.

Donna, United States of America

The location was very convenient for the entrance to the Acropolis. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean, looked like it had been recently re-decorated. My room had an ensuite bathroom; some others in the hotel may not. The balcony overlooked a fairly quiet square. I thought this was a very good lower budget hotel and would recommend to others for a short stay.

Anne, United Kingdom

Phaedra hotel has wonderful atmosphere all around. Lovely and helpful staff with beautiful smiles, delicious breakfast, comfortable and cozy room with magnificent view of Acropolis. We've enjoyed every moment of our 4 nights here and thank you so much. We plan to return soon and wish you all the best! Paul Kim from Corea

Joleo, United States of America

The hotel is located right next to the Acropolis - about a five minute walk. The hotel is near to some of the best restaurants in Athens. Staff were very kind and helpful. Located in the beautiful and historic Plaka. Price was great. Will stay again!

Amandamiranda343, Tanzania

Unbeatable location, right in the middle of Plaka. Walking distance to most attractions. Walking to the closest metro station (Acropoli) takes about 10 minutes. Clean and spacious bedroom and bathroom. The view on the Acropolis from the balcony was priceless. Rooftop with 360-degree view. Simple, but tasty and copious breakfast. Very friendly staff.

The location is convenience to tourist center, easy for food, walk around local tradition shops and restaurants. Easily being located upon check-in.

It’s clean and tidy without all the unnecessary boutique extras
The hotel is in the heart of the Plaka district with direct views of the acropolis. The hotel has a hidden secret of a roof top area to sit out on and is one of the tallest old buildings around and as such you get a panoramic view of the whole area if you choose not to book a room with a balcony view.
