The location is really great, it is really close to all the places you must see. The terrace has one of the best views of Acropolis. Getting to the hotel is really easy. Taking a bus from the airport to the Syntagma Square (x95) and walking about 5-6 minutes will be enough to get you to the hotel. The breakfast was good. It is a budget and central hotel.

The staff was not that much helpful actually. The room was not that big and not spacious. I stayed in Athens in the same caliber hotels, however this was the worst in room conditions. Also, the window handle was broken and didn't shut exactly. The safe lock was stuck and my stuff was trapped inside. It was supposed to work with my key card, but it didn'T. The shower was broken and each time I took a shower, all of the bathroom was soaked in water.

We only had 2days and 1 night in Athens and so with limited time we were well pleased with the position of this hotel! We checked in and hit the tone exploring straight away. Everything we wanted to see was within walking distance and we fully enjoyed the time we had. At the end of the night we sat on a sofa in the rooftop bar and enjoyed the magnificent scenery of the Acropolis lit up for the night.

We went there for 5 days and sadly it was not such a good stay.

Firstly we paid for a Superior Room with a balcony and we said we wanted somewhere quiet but when shown the room it was on the main street and across from there they we doing noisy building work. We sleep with a window open as we are used to this and most hotels also need this as they run the heating way too high.

We then were offered a room down a fllor at the back looking over the Acropolis and this was much quieter but sadly this misfired greatly as we had 5 days of mosquito bites having left the window open to air the room.

They say it very unusual but surprisingly they keep at the front desk, many tablets and a plug in devices to apparently kill the mozies but sadly it did not work for us and ruined the stay.

The staff were super nice people and no complaints there.

The room was FAR TOO HOT and we had to resort to noisy air conditioning in December!

The other real pain, is the one lift in the hotel and really this is a slow device that say 4 people but really can only fit 3 with some luggage and it takes an age if the hotel is busy and for the number of guest its really not enough and lets the hotel down, The alternative is the stairs and sadly the legs and back are not that strong anymore.

Breakfast was average and the scrambled eggs were poor and not light and tasty and the beans were runny in too much juice.

There is a safe in the room and a hairdryer but sadly NO TEA OR COFFEE or KETTLE and this is a MUST these days - regardless of free coffee downstairs in the breakfast area. Most people would like a cuppa in the evening or even first thing in the morning!

Location is good and only 4/5 minutes walk from Monostoraki Station and not a lond walk to Syntagma Square.

What is the best thing is its near the lively area of Plaka near the station and there are great bars and tavernas along there, our favorites were Abysinia and Efxaris Restaurants.

Despite the friendly staff, I Think we will not go back there though - really fed up about the bites and we met several other people that suffered the bites too and that horrid lift.

Also the hotel suffered from being far too hot sadly!

Finally. there is no proper reception area or downstairs bar so it was difficult to meet people there except for 3/4 couches by the reception so we went to their hotel instead!

We stayed in the Plaka hotel for five nights this December and enjoyed it very much. It' s in the center of everything and very comfortable with a wonderful roofgarden overlooking the Acropolis.
The breakfast room was very pleasant and the food good. Very friendly staff.
I can also recommend a nice cheap restaurant nearby by the name of " Quick pita", well cooked Greek food.
