Plaka Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location is great - 15 minute walk to Acropolis main enter ace, near shopping and dining in an area filled with pedestrian streets. Nice room (about 280 square feet) with a view of the Acropolis. Room was located toward the back and was very quiet. Breakfast was amazing! Very good food and wide variety. Hotel staff were welcoming, helpful, and efficient. Highly recommend "

Athens Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"1. Room was spectacular with a balcony view of the Olympia Zeus Temple Grounds across the street. 2. Every staff member was exceptionally kind, warm, welcoming and helpful. 3. The rooftop restaurant is a magical visual tour de force with the cuisine chops to match! Evening views of an uplit Parthenon, anyone? 4. The perfect launchpad for countless excursions. Mere steps from 2 major tour companies! So the meeting points to head to island-hop or head to Meteora, etc were super accessible! 5. A quick jaunt to the markets, many fabulous restaurants, the park and shopping galore! "

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel is in a lovely old house in the old part of Athens. The room was clean and comfortable and spacious. There was a small balcony with table and chairs overlooking a square. We expected it may be noisy because Plaka is such a busy area, but were pleasantly surprised that it quieted down soon after 10 pm."

Airotel Parthenon

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect! All of the staff were very kind, helpful, and very knowledgeable of the area! The room was perfect, and the beds and pillows were very comfortable! The location was absolutely amazing!! We were literally a 5 minute walk from the Acropolis and all of the incredible ruins! We were also about a 5 minute walk from a pharmacy, shopping, restaurants and the best white hot chocolate you will ever have! 5 minutes in the other direction are the shops in Plaka and approximately a 10 minute walk from the Plaka stairs where you will find so many restaurants to choose from! Ruins are to be found all around. This is definitely the place to stay! "
