Date of Stay: August, 2008
Plaka Hotel is in a fantastic location close to the main archealogical sights and the city shopping. The rooms were large enough for the rating and clean with all facilities working (the same can't be said for some other Athens hotels in this rating). The roof top garden/bar possibly has the best view of the Acropolis and central city around.
 
From: Reviewer has requested to be kept anonymous.
Date of Stay: January, 2008
They only problem with this hotel was the noise at night. The location is great for the sights and access to public transportation but is on a very noisy strip of town. The cars and motorcycles woke us up throughout the night. It was very clean and comfortable. Except for the noise, we loved our stay here.

The Plaka Hotel has the best location in Athens because of its proximity to the Plaka and its spectacular views of the Acropolis. The staff was helpful and there is a breakfast buffet. Although they claim to have been recently renovated, the air conditioning did not work well in either of two rooms we stayed in.

From: Reviewer has requested to be kept anonymous.
Date of Stay: December, 2007
Excellent location within easy walking distance of the major tourist attractions. It is also close (aprox 5 to 10 minute walk) to the airport bus stop.Super view from roof terrace. Modern, clean comfortable rooms though bathrooms very small, but adequate. Ask for a room at the rear of the hotel as we had one at the front and it was very noisy at night. Breakfast plentiful if a little uninspired. Would definitely stay there again.
