We have just returned from 5 days at Hotel Plaka in Athens and have to say it was nearly everything we could have hoped for at the price we paid. I was surprised how exspensive Athens had become since I was last there on business in 2005. This was a leisure break so the demands always more so when the... more

This hotel is in a great location to enjoy the Plaka neighborhood. Plus it has incredible views of the Acropolis if your room faces south. Even if your room is on another side of the bulding, the hotel offers a great roof top terrace where you can have a cocktail and enjoy the sunset over the Acropolis. The hotel is... more

We stayed for three nights in October 2009 - our first trip to Athens - based on tripadvisor reviews. The location is good and central for most attractions but the rooms are very small and the bathroom miniscule ( a good job we didn't have a cat to swing). If you want to sleep when in Athens do not use... more

This hotel is very conveniently located. It is in walking distance of major historic attractions and both the Monastiriki and Syntagma metro stations. However, the rooms could really stand to be renovated. The bathrooms were among the smallest I have encountered and the rooms were small. I would not stay there again. more

One thing you have to remember when traveling abroad is that your hotels will be nothing like hotels in the states. This is something we had to remind ourselves the minute we got on the plane. Being that my trip revolved around 'fun' I'd say this hotel was perfect. However, if I were going to Athens with a spouse, boyfriend,... more

Stayed here with extended family in early Sept and it was all we could have asked for! The location is hard to beat---central without being noisy. Some of us had amazing views of the Acropolis, but even the rooms without views were very clean and comfortable. The included breakfast was great and the rooftop deck has stunning views. Would definately... more

In February of 2009 we planned a cruise for our 10th anniversary and the cruise would end in Athens. After checking Trip Advisor we made reservations at Plaka Hotel and received a confirmation email. When we debarked our ship on September 4 and went to the Plaka Hotel, they told us our reservation was cancelled, so they had no room... more

The bathroom in our room (#305) was tiny and the room was small, but had an interesting view to the byzantine church in the shopping street. Good breakfasts and good staff with excellent English skills. Great location for getting to the major sites (Plaka district, Acropolis, shopping street). Fantastic view of the acropolis from the great roof top bar. Close... more

We chose this hotel from Trip Advisor / Rick Steves recommendations and it is well worth staying here. Three couples met here and stayed for two nights before moving on. You can walk around the pedestrian streets and market and find good resteraunts nearby. Sure it is touristy but for 2 days that is what we are. We had views... more
