Excellent location, walking distance to the acropolis. Good breakfast served at 7 am.

Matthew United States of America

The location was amazing, the room was spotless, the rooftop terrace with a view of the Acropolis was a lovely surprise, and the breakfast buffet was one of the best I’ve had in a hotel. The variety of food was endless, including Greek salad and mini desserts. The weighing scales in the lobby was very handy to check how much extra the souvenirs added!

Janice United States of America

The location of Hotel Plaka was exceptional! Around the corner was a mini mart, across the street was Monistraki night life and turn left and you are in the Plaka. The room was comfortable, the breakfast abundant and the staff very attentive. The food and view from the rooftop bar were amazing!This will be our new home in Athens :)

Malcolm United States of America

The Hotel Plaka is in the middle of the Plaka area of Athens, which means that it is within walking distance of every major sight. The big advantage is that it’s on a quiet street and very close to excellent restaurants. The hotel is extremely clean, the hotel staff is wonderful and very helpful, and the beds are very comfortable. The breakfast is excellent. The rooftop terrace, with a sound bar in the evening, has the most spectacular view of the Parthenon in the entire city. I am in at least 50 hotels per year for my work and this is one of the best.
