Would like to take this opportunity to recommend Pláka Hotel because of the staff making our stay in Athens more comfortable and convenient. Big shoutout to Andreas in the lobby who was super kind in helping us retrieve something we forgot at an airport in another Greek island. Hotel could use a little update with their facilities but the helpful staff makes up for it. The view from the rooftop is also a huge reason to stay.

Wonderful, welcoming staff and incredible view of the Acropolis from both our room and the rooftop bar. Hotel a little dated, but well-maintained, clean and comfortable. Well located for public transport links and all the main attractions. Very reasonably priced.
