Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Plaka Hotel enjoys a fantastic location in Plaka, within easy walking distance of major attractions like the Acropolis; in fact, some guests have enjoyed Acropolis views right from their rooms. Many guests appreciate the spacious rooms equipped with amenities like a mini-fridge, and some even feature smart TVs with Netflix and YouTube. The rooftop bar/restaurant is a highlight, offering a splendid view, though a few found the prices there a bit high. A generous breakfast buffet, including eggs, beans, and sausages, provides excellent value to start the day.

fantastic location

perfect locationhelpful staffcozy hoteldark wallpaper
the location was perfect, very close to the centre. there were lots of cafes around. staff were helpful and sorted a taxi for us on our final morning. the hotel is warm and cozy.
i found no mirror in the room, and this was a problem. there is one in the back of one closet door, though. rooms are also quite dark with dark wallpaper.

The economy rooms are lovely. They feature clean, modern bathrooms. rooms have views of the acropolis from the window. comfy beds had extra bedding and pillows in the closet if needed. the water pressure in the bathroom was great.
Service

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much bother. they helped us book a taxi to piraeus port. they also let us leave our luggage with them for a day or two between bookings. staff knowledge on local wine choices was spot on.

the hotel's location was great for exploring. it was easy to walk to many historical sites.
the bathroom was small. it was impossible to shower without getting the whole space wet, and i even had to dry myself outside of the bathroom since there was no room inside.. the noise from the street at night made it hard to sleep.
