Metropolis Hotel - A Plaka District Hotel with Acropolis Views and Rooftop Terrace

Located in the historic Plaka district, this 2-star Athens hotel sits just 1640.4 ft from the Acropolis and 2 blocks from Syntagma Square. The Metropolis features 22 rooms across 7 distinct categories, equipped with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, laptop-compatible safes, and free WiFi. Standard rooms include Media Strom brand mattresses, writing desks, and private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries. The hotel's rooftop terrace serves as a breakfast venue, offering Greek yogurt and fresh fruit for a fee. A 24-hour front desk provides luggage storage services for up to 3 months.

Pros

Rooftop breakfast terrace overlooks the city and Parthenon

Located in Plaka's shopping district with jewelry and ceramic stores

24/7 front desk with extended luggage storage options

Cons

“In my opinion, this hotel is ideal for those seeking a centrally located base, steps from key spots like Syntagma and Monastiraki, and near the Athens Metropolitan Cathedral. The staff earns high praise for their helpfulness, and some rooms even offer striking Acropolis views; however, rooms are noted as compact. For travellers prioritizing location and service, this could be a solid choice.”
