Lock in a great price for Plaka Hotel – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

We booked through your company an economy room to the value of 104/8 euros. When we arrived at the hotel (after many stays) we where told that we had only booked a single room!!. After a long journey we paid 30 euros extra for a double room, on checking our booking at our final destination we realised we had overpaid. Your comments would be appreciated. Many thanks.

The location of the hotel is excellent. In the midst of Plaka, surrounded by many restaurants, shops and bars. Walking distance to many attractions. Wonderful service and good information provided. The rooftop garden and availability of coffee and tea throughout the day are special.

Good value for money. Extremely convenient location. Responsive staff.

Eleftheria, Cyprus

Pretty much everything from the friendly helpful staff to the fine rooms and rooftop patio and of course the optimum location. I particularly appreciated the ability to get a continental breakfast prior to the formal breakfast with an early checkout. This hotel had high ratings and lived up to them.

Peter, Canada

The rooftop terrace was just stunning. The room was clean and spacious. The staff was very helpful. The breakfast was delicious!! Will definitely book again if we are back to Athens!

Wouter, Spain

Breakfast was delicious with lots of choices from scrambled eggs to traditional Greek treats. We were really pleased with breakfast! Check in staff was very helpful and made suggestions for restaurants with maps. The room itself was spacious and the balcony was nice, though the view was less than desirable. We appreciated the storage of our luggage while we explored before our flight. The location is great for exploring the agora and central sights. We were able to purchase our tour at a discounted rate at the hotel checkin.

The location is pretty good.Breakfast has high quality.You can go to the roof bar to enjoy the beautiful acropolis at night.

“I would stay here again because overall it was good but I would never stay in room 409.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Economy Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉Our room, 409, was one of the smallest rooms and was shared by two people. We were unable to sleep with the window open because the hotel sign is directly adjacent to the window opening. The letter “e” is big, bright blue and so close you can easily touch it. By having to seal up the room because of the sign it immediately got warm and stuffy so we could not enjoy the fresh air and sounds of Athens. My sister had room 405 by herself and it was much larger, had a desk and she didn’t have a bright sign to deal with. The shower leaked under the glass shower door and into the bathroom so the entire floor was a pool of water. No drain in the bathroom so I had to use the bath mat to corral the water, herd it back into the shower, wring out the mat and do it again. It was a mess.
눇Welcoming, helpful staff, a great breakfast, a wonderful view of the Acropolis from the rooftop bar and a perfect location in which to explore Athens at s very reasonable price.
