to get started.

The location was great, the breakfast was excellent and the rooftop terrace with a view of the Acropolis was a perfect way to end the day

Karen, United States of America

Great location with stunning view of Acropolis and in Plaka area. Great service and breakfast. Very nice and comfort room although small.

Venus, Belgium

Location is great, within walking distance to shops, restaurants, cafes and the acropolis very close. One night is all we stayed. Not luxurious.

Alethea, Australia

Great location with access to restaurant and magnificent view of the acropolis from roof top at night. Nice second floor breakfast and resting area.

Jonathan, United States of America

The Plaka Hotel was exquisite. Located in the Plaza district, you are a 10 minute walk from the Acropolis which you can see from the rooftop garden outdoor lounge of the hotel. At night, you have gorgeous views of the Acropolis from the rooftop garden as you enjoy a refreshing beverage. The breakfast buffet is great with something for every taste. I went for the Greek dishes which were all made on site. Staff were very friendly and gave great referrals for places to eat in the neighborhood. Open air market for all kinds of souvenirs one block from the hotel. I loved the Plaka and would return again.

Lynne, United States of America

Great breakfast. View from our room of the Acropolis was excellent but the view of it from the rooftop garden was spectacular. Free wifi was very quick.

Brenton, Australia

Right in the heart of Athens with a wonderful rooftop looking on the Parthenon. The renovated rooms and the italian shower. The very warm welcomming of the staff

Carine, Belgium

The breakfast was good. Amazing view to the Acropolis from my room

Marta, Spain

The astonishing view of the Acropolis at night, as viewed from the hotel's roof garden. Within walking distance from many sights as well as the hop on, hop off bus.

“We felt like we were very well taken care of at the Plaka. We would recommend it to others.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The only thing that is not ideal at the Plaka Hotel is the elevator. It's very small. There was barely room for two of us with two pieces of luggage each. However, that's part of what you get being in that part of the city. It was a minor inconvenience, and we were patient waiting when there may have been too many people vying for the elevator.
눇This is a comfortable and convenient property if you're looking for a place in the heart of the Plaka. From the moment of booking a room on booking.com through the staff reserving a taxi to head to the cruise terminal in Piraeus, I felt like I was being taken care of the entire time. The staff greeted us warmly when we arrived. They had already reconfirmed our reservation about a week before we got there, too, which surprised me. When you book online through a site like this, all sorts of concerns ran through my mind (such as, the reservation wouldn't be there when we arrived, the price would change, etc.), but none of those concerns materialized. Our room was already ready, and we were able to settle in quickly. The rooms, while small (a normal thing in an older hotel in the oldest part of the city) were very nicely appointed, including a updated bathroom, flat panel TV, and a refrigerator. The beds were comfortable and tastefully appointed. But, what couldn't be beat was the view! We opened the curtains and saw the Acropolis, Parthenon, Tower of the Winds and the ancient agora right out the window. It was like a postcard come to life! We probably stood looking at it for about 15 minutes. The hotel offers breakfast in the morning and can be included in your rate (as ours was), or purchased separately. It is a very nice assortment of options. While there are American and British traditional breakfast options (eggs, breakfast meats, baked beans, and the like), we thought the Greek offerings were not to be missed. Delicious yogurt, which makes the offerings in America seem paltry, is served with honey and other condiments. There were fresh breads and pastries, an assortment of Greek foods (fresh cheeses, olives, salads, tiropetes and spanikopita. It's a delicious way to start the day! The hotel has a rooftop terrace and bar (bar is open from 5:30ish to 11pm).

눉We had adjoining rooms with our kids. The rooms looked old and definitely need some updating. Was not impressed with the rooms. Bathrooms had been updated however but the rooms were very small. You couldn't have the entry door and adjoining door open at the same time as they bumped into each other. It was very tight. Aside from the rooms everything else met our expectations. There is nothing fancy about this hotel so if your expecting any luxuries this is not the hotel for you.
눇Location, location, Location. This hotel is in the heart of the Athens in the Monstiraki district. Walking distance (5 min) to the Acropolis and the new museum, Syntagma Square, Ermou (shopping district) and restaurants. I can't say enough good things about the location. The view from the rooftop bar is amazing. Air conditioning worked. No issues. The breakfast (included) was great. Hotel staff friendy and especially Amanda(
