Acropolis House - Historic 2-star Athens residence in Plaka with original murals
Located in the heart of Plaka district, this 135-year-old stone mansion turned Athens hotel preserves authentic architectural elements, including original wall murals in the entryway. The 2-star Acropolis House offers rooms with classic wood furnishings, large windows with draped curtains, flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, and parquet floors. Each unit includes a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, while guests have access to extra rooms with bathrooms for early check-in or late check-out. The property sits 3 minutes from Syntagma Metro Station and the E95 airport bus line.

“Location is a clear win here, setting you up within easy walking distance of the Acropolis. This family-run house retains an old-world Athenian feel, steering clear of mainstream, modern styles. It's a solid deal for travelers who prioritize location and character over the latest amenities; responsive service further sweetens the deal.”
