At arrival got welcomed with a bottle of wine and fruit basket. I was staying at Athens for only a day and a half, and found very interesting the... More

I stayed for 4 nights & this hotel exceeded my expectations. Although I had expected a good experience there were things over & above the usual for this standard of hotel. The rooms were exceptionally clean & beds very comfortable. The refurbished bathrooms were great (powerful shower), the view from the rooftop bar is a wonderful all round panorama &... More

We loved this hotel - wonderful location & helpful staff. We stayed here twice, and they gave us a free upgrade when we arrived, and a little bottle of wine both times. Breakfast is really good, and the rooftop terrace is lovely. Would definitely recommend.

We wanted a reasonable price and clean hotel, near the Acropolis and metro, in a safe area. That's what the Plaka is. And the rooftop is great for a drink and view of sunset and the ruins.The rooms are clean and simple, beds are good, bath had lots of water pressure. The registration area is small, the staff efficient and... More

This hotel could not be more central, the panorama in the terrace is just amazing. The room is nice and not expensive. Breakfast is basic but not bad. Ahh and it is very close to the metro that directly connects to the airport!

Plaka is located at a very good location. Very near to Monastiraki and all the shopping area. Has a direct superb view of the Acropolis at rooftop. However the lane is quite narrow, only taxis and cars can drop in front of the entrance, but not the big tour bus. Service was excellent too. The day of my departure, metro... More

I found the Plaka Hotel on Trip Advisor and I am glad I did. The price was right and the location perfect. Short walk to the Acropolis, shorter walk to the Monastiraki district and food. We checked in on a Sunday afternoon and fell asleep immediately exhausted from jetlag. We were able to sleep until 2:30am because it was SO... More
