Great stay, for two nights. Breakfast is a real surprise, with a beautiful room set aside for the guests, and more choices than is usual for breakfast bars. I only have one negative comment for this hotel, but just to alert people who want silence. The walls allow sound to carry between the rooms. Everything else is perfect.
I would stay here every time in Athens. Very friendly staff and the room was all that you needed.
Somewhat friendly staff. Close to everything you need.
Nice hotel in the heart of Athens, close to the Acropolis (Parthenon) and the Acropolis Museum and only a 5 minute walk from Monastiraki Metro Station. Take the #2 Blue line metro from the airport to the Monastiraki station. It will cost you 10 Euros per person but you can buy two for 18 Euros. Plenty of restaurants/eateries all around. Walk to the National Archaeological Museum (20-25 minutes) up Athinas and you'll pass by the central fish/meat market. We did the one-day three island tour of Hydra, Poros and Aegina and it was great. Breakfast at the hotel was good and the view from the rooftop terrace was fantastic. There is a bar there but we did not use it. The hotel elevator is small - only used it the first and last day to carry luggage. If you choose to take the stairs, like we did, beware it is a workout especially if your room is on the 6th floor!!!! Free Wi-Fi & breakfast included. If you are travelling from the US, don't forget 220-110 AC adapter (or two). Would recommend this hotel.
Hotel is in a perfect location close to everything. Next to Plaka a few blocks away to Monistaraki square, close to restaurants and shopping. Rooms were comfortable and they gave us complimentary wine and water in our room. Breakfast buffet has a good variety. the rooftop bar has a good view of the Acropolis.
What we expected was modern rooms, balcony with view of Acropolis and relaxing rooftop bar. What we got was a deteriorating room with a sewer smell and no sound proofing, a balcony but only a view of the building next door under construction, and the rooftop bar has no shade and is run down. To be fair our friends had the room next to us and there was no noise problem between our rooms. However, their shower over flowed into the room and they switched rooms. The other wall was useless for noise and we could hear their entire conversation as if they were talking to us. You could hear them sleeping too. I say sleeping because it wasn't like they were snoring loudly. The location was good but for the price you can get better. Breakfast was mediocre and since Athens in general is not pricy for breakfast (maybe 10 euro) next time we'll stay elsewhere. Staff were friendly and helpful except for when our friends wanted a room change. We didn't even both trying to change rooms for the sewage smell after that since it was our last night that the smell came up.
Hotel located two blocks from Monastiraki Square is perfect location from which to see sights of Athens. Incredible view of Acroplis from rooftop terrace/bar, especially at night. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Very nice breakfast buffet. If you're looking for all the posh amenities, this isn't the place for you. However it's an outstanding value, and we very much enjoyed our stay here.
Central Athens, in a great location close to the historic sights. Recently renovated and very comfortable.
Ideal location in the Plaka district, couple blocks from Monastiraki square. The Acropolis was only ~20 min walk away (uphill -- though what do you expect?) so we were able to walk there a couple times during our stay. Great view at the rooftop, and great breakfast. Only complaint really is that the "king size bed" was just 2 twins pushed together -- though this seems to be a pretty common arrangement in Europe
Plaka Hotel Athens was very nice! Enjoy the Roof Garden view of the Acropolis and City.
Hotel stay was very close to everything in Plaka which was a plus. I personally did not have a great experience with the staff at the front desk as they were not as welcoming and seldom smiles or even looked at me in the eye when I had questions. Internet did not work on all floors, when I stated I had problems connecting to the wifi, I was told to just go to the computer on the 1st floor. Also I stayed at this hotel because of the great view of the Acropolis and the bar/lounge on the rooftop, however the upstairs bar area was far from what was advertised. I've stayed with many hotels with all levels of star ratings and for this hotel to be classified as a 4 star I would expect a little bit more from the staff.
This little boutique hotel, tucked away on busy Mitropoleos Street between Syntagma and Monastiraki Squares was the perfect place to hang our hats while spending the week in Athens. The location was very convenient for walking to many good sites and museums, eating and shopping. But, the real gem is the hotel itself. It was very clean and the staff was very accommodating. Dorina Stathopoulou, the owner, was there every morning at breakfast in ther restaurant on the second floor asking everyone about their plans for the day and guiding us in any way we needed. But the best place of all is the hotel's rooftop patio, with it's breathtaking view of the Acropolis and the city of Athens. I think it was too early in the season for the bar up there to be open, but many folks just brought up their own spirits, or coffee (in Greece, there is always time for coffee, and their just happens to be a Starbucks about a block away). It was the perfect place to watch the sunset and just relax after a hard day of sightseeing and museum hopping. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Athens. My only suggestion to you would be to ask for a room facing the Acropolis. We over looked Mitropoleos on a lower level floor and it was quite noisy when we had the balcony door open.
