Hotell i Aten

Plus: Very clean; attentive staff, and within walking distance to almost every tourist attraction in Athens.

Plus: The Plaka Hotel is the best place to stay in Athens. It is centrally located and has a spectacular view of the Acropolis from the rooftop patio. It is close walking distance to the major tourist sites, shops and restaurants. Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and have air conditioning. Breakfast is a must do in the morning. While enjoying your delicious breakfast, you can get friendly information and advice from your hostess. First week of May is a perfect time to visit Athens. Temperature is around 24C to 27C. Visit the National Archaeological Museum (10 Euros) and Athens Academy of Arts if you like to take pictures of statues. Laundry service is also available.

Plus: This is a respectable hotel, that gives good basic services to it's guests. It's overall advantage is it's location. Stay at Plaka Hotel and all of Athens is easily available to you.

Minus: I have nothing to complain about.

Plus: The friendliness of the staff and how helpful they were all the time; they gave us tips to move around and help us to keep our luggage even when we've already checked out. The hotel is well located with many important places (most-visited historic attractions) at walking distance; also great was having a convenient small market next door where we could get fruits, beverages, baked goods, etc. The breakfast were very good, as well as the views from the roof lounge.

Minus: The maze of streets – if you're driving a car there, it is hard to park and easy to get lost in the many one-direction streets.

Plus: Rooftop terrace view and Elsa our bartender. Efharisto!!!

Plus: The terrace has a beautiful view of the Acropolis and the location is very close to restaurants, bars, and other places you would like to see and visit.

Plus: clean, quiet, good beds, staff were sooooooooo friendly, soooooo helpful, roof top bar/lounging area was so quiet and romantic, looking right at the acropolis. hotel right in the old town of Athens, the ancient agora. been to Athens many times, 2nd time at Plaka Hotel, will only stay there from now on.

Minus: nothing

Plus: We loved the view and hotel restaurant/bar

Plus: The staff were absolutely perfect!! The room faced the Acropolis which was beautiful!!

Plus: The lobby was beautiful with artistic wire statues and a bar/restaurant with trees growing through it. The staff is very professional and tries to be very helpful (though both times I stayed at the hotel there was not a doorman to greet me and carry my luggage up the steps). Gorgeous rooftop bar and a nice jacuzzi area on the floor below it.

Minus: We stayed at the hotel 2 nights--one at the beginning of our trip and one at the end. The first room we had at the beginning of our trip literally reminded me of a hostel I'd once stayed at--the bed was a hard board looking thing with a gross looking red coverlet (not even a comforter). We also did not get one bed but instead, two twins pushed together. When I returned on the last leg of my trip I mentioned this but they only had one room left and put me in an equally bad room (only after accidentally giving me the key to an occupied room). This room at least had better beds and bedding but because it was on the first floor, it had no natural sunlight (blocked by the building) and made me feel as if I was staying in someone's basement. It was also a smaller room than the first and we struggled to find a place out of the way to put both of our suitcases. The air conditioner also leaked water. It's a shame--beautiful hotel but sadly the rooms are not up to par. Perhaps at $200 US dollars/night I didn't spend enough to get a nice room?

Plus: Great value for money, well located close to the Acropolis, nice common areas and pleasant breakfast room. Rooms are well equipped and very clean.

Minus: Bathroom a bit dated, but very clean. No issues. Room had no view, but for the money, more than acceptable.

Plus: The location of the hotel is great, with easy access to the Acropolis, Acropolis Museum and the Acropolis Metro. Make sure to ask for an outside facing room as some rooms can be small and cramped. The downstairs lobby area is very nice with a good atmosphere to sit and talk or to read/write.

Minus: Sometimes the rooms can be cramped and dark. Sometimes cab drivers can't locate it, but just tell them to drop you off by the Acropolis Museum and you can navigate it easily.

Plus: This is the perfect location for exploring Athens. Safe Street, restaurants and shopping nearby, immediately adjacent to the modern and magnificent Acropolis museum. Staff were friendly and accommodating. The rooms were very quiet and the rooftop view of the Acropolis is spectacular.

Plus: Modern, sleek and elegant design, beautiful rooftop pool, lovely breakfast, easy to walk to sites.

Minus: The location felt a bit edgy at night.

Plus: Staff helpful, clean.

Minus: Room was a bit small but worked

Minus: This hotel is located in a very bad part of Athens. When we were checking out and going to a different hotel, Fresh Hotel refused to provide a refund for the day that we did not stay.

Plus: I thought the hotel was great, nice modern interior, fantastic location, 5 minute walk to Monastiraki Square, room was pretty spacious and the rooftop pool was small but still refreshing after a long day of touring. The breakfast was fantastic, a great spread!

Minus: The pool was a bit small and the rooftop bar was pretty overpriced, but otherwise no complaints!

Plus: Rooftop bar/ restaurant with views of the Acropolis. Room was clean with the 3 beds we requested. Location was convenient to all tourist destinations.

Minus: Bed was not super comfortable.

Plus: Location and price for the main advantages of this hotel.

Minus: The immediate neighborhood is a little bit seedy, but this did not bother me.

Plus: Roof deck, attentive service, location

Plus: They have a very nice breakfast.

Minus: The difference between a standard room and a luxury standard room is virtually zero. The rooms generally are extremely small. The hotel is situated in a dirty, rough part of the central city with prostitutes and thugs on the street. Management seems to believe that their guests are lucky to stay there. I gave this hotel a second chance about a week ago. Never again.

Plus: Personalen hjälpsam, rent.

Minus: Rum var lite litet men fungerade

Plus: Staff went above and beyond to address some help that I needed. It was very much appreciated.

Minus: Location. It is is a pretty rough part of the city.

Plus: Very nice clean hotel with nice modern rooms

Minus: Shower tub was too narrow and hard to stand in to take a shower. Even though we were on a non-smoking floor we could severely smell smoke from adjoining rooms. We complained about the cigarette smell and was only told "sorry".

Plus: The staff were extremely warm, friendly and helpful. There was an issue when we checked in, finding our reservation, and they did not skip a beat to accommodate us while it was resolved. Breakfast was spectacular, the room and bathroom were exactly what we were looking for after a very busy days. The shuttle service closer to town was a huge help.

Minus: The hotel is a little bit of a walk from the areas we wanted to stay in, but the shuttle resolved most of our concerns.

Plus: Everyone was so nice. The person that assisted us when we checked in went above and beyond. Even though we were checking out at 3 am before breakfast, he told us to call room service and they would have breakfast ready for us when we wanted or they would pack a breakfast to go! They were very accommodating!

Plus: This place had a nice "local" vibe. The staff was super helpful and accommodating. They were more than happy to point out good places to eat and places to see. We checked in very late, around 10 pm, which the staff accommodated. The hotel lobby is really nice. Our room was located off the rooftop balcony (which has a view of the Acropolis) It was the quietest place we stayed on our two week trip. The room was good sized, the bed comfortable, and everything was clean. The bathroom was about average for size compared to other places we stayed. There was a kitchenette in the room. The rooftop sitting area was really nice. There was not breakfast included in the price of the room. However, a delicious, reasonably priced breakfast is available. The fresh squeezed orange juice was fantastic. It was probably the second best breakfast of the trip! Overall, highly recommended, especially if you don't have a car!

Minus: Parking. When we got there the parking area was closed for some unknown reason and the hotel staff could not locate anyone to open it. We ended up parking on the street, which took forever to find a spot. The hotel is in a narrow alley and can be hard to locate. It could have a more prominent sign to make finding it easier! (we drove by it the first time)

Plus: I was on a tour. The first night was on me. very good room and this extended to second night. Off i went on the tour and returned for last night. This room was very small and nothing like the first night. There was painting and construction on floor and we had to pass through this to get to the room. The hotel did call to let me know about the length of work and offered a new room. I was too tired to move. They did send up a lovely tray of fruit and bottle water. I think the size of the room was picked by the tour not the hotel. The staff was great.

Minus: The business center. Not personal at all. I walked in asking about the getting a boarding pass. The lady pointed to the computer. I explained that I was not knowledgeable about computers. I was told to key in my airline and follow instructions. No help. She was not busy. I guest I look like a tourist and not a business person.

Plus: Our family enjoyed the rooftop pool as a wonderful break from sightseeing, and the included breakfast far exceeded expectations !!
