We wanted a reasonable price and clean hotel, near the Acropolis and metro, in a safe area. That's what the Plaka is. And the rooftop is great for a drink and view of sunset and the ruins.The rooms are clean and simple, beds are good, bath had lots of water pressure. The registration area is small, the staff efficient and... More

This hotel could not be more central, the panorama in the terrace is just amazing. The room is nice and not expensive. Breakfast is basic but not bad. Ahh and it is very close to the metro that directly connects to the airport!

Plaka is located at a very good location. Very near to Monastiraki and all the shopping area. Has a direct superb view of the Acropolis at rooftop. However the lane is quite narrow, only taxis and cars can drop in front of the entrance, but not the big tour bus. Service was excellent too. The day of my departure, metro... More

I found the Plaka Hotel on Trip Advisor and I am glad I did. The price was right and the location perfect. Short walk to the Acropolis, shorter walk to the Monastiraki district and food. We checked in on a Sunday afternoon and fell asleep immediately exhausted from jetlag. We were able to sleep until 2:30am because it was SO... More

When I look for a hotel the two most important things for me are the location of the hotel and the view from the room. The location of this hotel is great, close to all the major attractions. The view from a few rooms I understand is sensational and I had requested two of these rooms about 8 months in... More

We stayed in the Plaka hotel for five nights. The location of this hotel is fantastic. It is within walking distance of all of the major sights of Athens as well as numerous restaurants and shops. The rooms were clean and the views, especially from the rooftop garden were terrific.
