Lock in a great price for Plaka Hotel – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

The rooftop view was top notch!!! Our room was spacious and comfortable. The toilet was clean and modern. And the area was so close to the Acropolis and it was surrounded with restaurants and shops and also it was easy access to and from the airport. We wish we could've stayed for more than one night.

Maria, Ireland

The location is excellent - within close walking distance to the Monastiraki metro station, tourist sites, restaurants and shopping. Hotel staff are welcoming and pleasant and there is even a hotel member of staff who wanders the breakfast room responding to individual enquiries about how to get to particular tourists sites within and outside of Athens. An highlight of the hotel is the rooftop bar where you can sit and take in one of the best views of Acropolis.

William, Australia

Wonderful. Highly recommend it. Will stay again. Rooftop bar and view the best!!

Gary, Australia

Great service, the front counter staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel was a little more weathered than we were expecting but the location and breakfast were fantastic and made up for any other shortfalls.

Canyck, Canada

The Plaka Hotel staff are very helpful and friendly. The Hotel is in a great location, we only had 2 days in Athens and it was convenient to walk for all our site seeing. Also there are many terrific restaurants nearby.

Plaka Hotel is the best place for exploring Athens. Metro station only few steps from. From terrace on the hotel roof, you have breathless Acropolis hill view.

Dtlf, United Kingdom

We needed one night in Athens before heading to Crete. The staff was wonderful and attentive. We were able to keep our luggage in the locker after check before taking the ferry to Crete. It was just a few blocks away from the main metro station and easy to get to the port and the airport from that station. Staff was great to give advice and very friendly. Beds were comfy and room was clean. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great location near the sites and wanting a good value.

Bonita, United States of America

Staff consistently exceed expectations and go above and beyond. Extremely helpful with a recent lost bag.

Tracey, Australia

The view from the rooftop bar is amazing; the all day coffee lounge is also a great bonus for guests having to check out and wait around; had an amazing view of the Acropolis from my window!

눉We have stayed in the Plaka Hotel on a number of occasions over the last fourteen years. The room we were allocated on this stay seemed a lot smaller than previous stays. This gave us the impression that standard rooms may vary in size.
눇The location is excellent - within close walking distance to the Monastiraki metro station, tourist sites, restaurants and shopping. Hotel staff are welcoming and pleasant and there is even a hotel member of staff who wanders the breakfast room responding to individual enquiries about how to get to particular tourists sites within and outside of Athens.

“Best Hotel in Athens for location & customer service”

- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉We liked everything about the Plaka Hotel. It has great breakfasts and great views from the rooftop. Excellent location.
눇Excellent customer service and excellent location and Hotel. Very friendly people and also great flexibility. We booked through Booking.com and had a non-refundable booking for 3 nights. Our travel plans changed a few days before arrival to only 1 night and the Plaka Hotel agreed to refund us 2 nights. We highly recommend this Hotel to stay. It is modern, clean, and in the best location for shopping, restaurants, a short walk to the Acropolis and the Metro to the airport...although we used an AthensCityCab for transfers to and from the airport.
