We loved the Plaka.. The hotel is in a great location with fantastic views. Our room was tight for 3 people but this is pretty standard for major city hotels so this wasnt a big deal for us. Friendly staff, especially Eva! I would recommend staying here. Make sure you check out the roof top views!

The Plaka Hotel is centrally located in the market and shopping area and accessible to all forms of transport. The room i had at the Plaka whilst small more than met my needs, the beds were comfortable and the roons serviced daily. Breakfast was a substantial buffet to meet all requirements.

We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights in may. On arrival we´ve got a room with a view of Acropolis (and a many chimneys and metal things on the way as well), as we have booked, but unfortunately well smoked in the bathroom and well parfumed in the room itself. This despite we asked and have received the confirmation... More

Dear Guest, Kindly accept our most sincere apologies for causing you disappointment during your recent stay at the hotel.

After several stays in Athens I could book in this hotel early enough, at last, because it’s often full. Indeed this hotel has been reviewed and appreciated for decades.
