Friendly staff. A decent, standard room. The location is in a bad part of downtown Athens. So bad that I barely felt comfortable by day and definitely not at night. Add to that, I was very disappointed that the rooftop restaurant was under construction, so I had NO view of the Acropolis (which was my reason for picking the hotel).... more

While this hotel is used by tour groups, I think it is a little over rated and not as good as advertised. The halls and room decor are worn and dated and need to be updated. Breakfast is OK and plentiful. The rooftop restaurant was very good and would recommend that one have a meal there as the view toward... more

As long as you're not expecting luxury, you should be happy with this hotel - it is clean, the staff are friendly and very helpful, and there wrere definitely no bedbugs (well in our rooms at least) as claimed in some of the other reviews. The rooftop bar/restaurant has a great view of the Acropolis and Lycabettus hill, and a... more

This hotel is highly recommended for families and business travelers on a limited/average budget. t is renovated and very clean, with reasonably spacious and comfortable rooms. The view from the roof garden is indeed amazing but the hotel's truly strong point is its staff. Always helpful and friendly, they provide excellent service and can easily communicate with customers. I was... more

Stayed a few days in this hotel in August 2008. Positives: - 5 min from metro station - spacious room, but not as beautiful as the photos in the website. I think we got an old bedroom - friendly staff, always polite and helpful - very comfortable beds. The bed was definitely new!!! - roof top restaurant: good for food,... more

Its a bit delayed review, I went to Athens last year in October and stayed in Hotel City Plaza Athens for 4 days. Its an average hotel, clean and tidy and reasonably central. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. We had a room on the 3rd floor and we had a nice view of mountains from out balcony. I... more

We were just there in October of 2008 with a large group. It seems as though at least one of our members may have also had problems with bedbugs, as so many others have previously mentioned. The rooms smelled of smoke and definitely could use some updating! I am at a bit of a loss that this hotel is getting... more

If you like jail cells, this hotel is for you. Rooms come equipped with cots and blankets, I was surprised the bath was separate. Best thing I can say is hot water was in abundance. Don't be fooled by the webiste, hotel looks nothing like photos, and entire building reaks of smoke. more

I traveled with a group of 25 and stayed at the City Plaza Hotel. First off, the neighborhood the hotel is located in is kind of gross and sketchy - not many things open around there at night. The air conditioning system is also pretty ancient. The room was shabby looking and smelled of stale cigarette smoke. But the worst... more
