Good location and good service.. we all 6 persons stayed at the hotel for 4 nights alternately. Our luggage stored at the hotels safety. They helped us to book cub and prepared the breakfast for us at 5:30am before morning time. Absolutely, thank you very much for all staffs including in the Kitchen. Besides, the roof of my hotel is very amazing that you can see the Acropolis all days. The sunset around the Acropolis is extremely beautiful.
Ottima location e struttura generale. Ottima la colazione e buona la pulizia generale.
Solo le camere hanno delle dimensioni veramente ridotte specialmente i bagni e le triple
Все отлично за свои деньги. Только душевая не очень продумана: в одном из номеров не было даже шторки в душе. В остальном я всем осталась довольна, даже район вполне нормальный, правда, ночью я там не гуляла, но днем выглядит все вполне безопасно.
Администраторы на стойке регистрации очень приветливы!
Hotel itself is decent, i expected a bit more for the price. It is fairly clean and cozy, but very basic. Shower has no sliding door or curtain, so the floor is covered in water after every shower. One morning there was no hot water. Also, there noise coming from the pipes is extremely loud. Everytime the upstairs floors flushed the toilet, it sounded like a bunch of rocks being dropped down the pipes, and it woke me up in the mornings.
Service was okay, friendly and extremely fast check-in/out.
The main issue is the location. Although it is near a central spot, and good walking distance from many attractions, but the street itself is a disaster. There are homeless ************ outside directly in front of the hotel, ***** ***** all night. It is definitely not safe to walk alone at night. If safety is a concern, i cannot recommend staying at this hotel.
Besides that, the stay itself is fairly comfortable.
Lovely little hotel, better than expected! Hotel staff are lovely, room was spacious, clean and stocked with amenities. There’s an old fashioned lift on site but takes a while to come so be prepared to either wait or take the stairs. Small downfall is the location as it’s in the backstreets of Athens down (probably not safe to walk alone especially as a female). Other slight downfall is the hotel public toilets don’t have any locks on the doors which made me feel uncomfortable to use so had to go back up to the room to use the toilet during breakfast time. Breakfast was a nice buffet mix and great hot drinks options, although the food on the hot plates was lukewarm so not sure they are working.
It's spotless! Close to the subway station, bars, restaurants, pharmacies, and cafes, it's in a really good location. There are many things to do within walking distance.
The only downside to our stay was that the building was undergoing renovation, and scaffolds were positioned outside our window, which affected our privacy. We had to keep the blinds closed all the time. I suppose this is a positive aspect, as they are taking good care of the building.
Honestly I was a little worried about booking a hotel in Athens having not visited since 1999 but the Acropolis View Hotel kept popping up on my searches and the reviews were really good so I booked a twin acropolis view room for my husband and I to stay for 1 night at the end of a cruise. We were blown away by the service at reception and the location to pretty much everything we wanted to see in a day within walking distance. The views were amazing and the rooftop deck was perfect for a drink at the end of the day with Acropolis in background and for breakfast the next morning before leaving for airport. Will definitely stay here again and am happy to recommend to friends and family.
ผผู้เข้าพักPlaka Hotel Stay: Jan 20th to Jan 30th Rm 511
My second time stay. Enjoyed my stay to the hilt. Staff very friendly. House keep was excellent. Used Plaka as my base to visit the Islands, wandered the Peloponnese and local markets.
I would like to especially thank Miss ”Eva” of front desk. She is the star at the breakfast room in the morning as she chimes ” Kala Mera”. Politely comes to the table asking about any help we wanted or any tips to visit a place of interest or any discomfort the previous day with which she could help. She was genuinely interested in helping. Her multicultural knowledge including multi language capability was very valuable in easy conversation. She is a great asset to Plaka Hotel. Her colleagues at the front desk including the gentlemen were very friendly and we felt that we were returning home as we came back in the eve and were greeted with smiles.
One disconcerting aspect of the elevators in Plaka hotel was the offending smell that emanated sometime. And one suggestion to the management is to add sliders under the furniture legs on the roof restaurant as they keep moving it late in the night causing noise. But it did not take away from our enjoying the stay.
Thanks to Plaka Hotel for a delightful stay of ten days. We will come back next year. Looking forward!

ผผู้เข้าพักThis was a great stay for us and our family. The hotel is conveniently located near many popular sights and eateries in Athens and most were within a 10-20 minute walk. The nearby Monastiraki metro station made it easy to get to and from the airport as well.
The rooms are nicely appointed with a couple of chairs, work station, coffee/tea station, closet, mini fridge and TV. The beds were small but comfy enough. Our family had a 2 and 3 bed rooms and we found the 2 bed room was a lot more spacious. The bathrooms in both were small but we appreciated that the hot water came on quickly and there was a small window for ventilation. Our room was quiet at night but our family noted street noise on the lower floors. The elevators were often tricky to catch as they are small but we appreciated it when we didn't feel like the climb to the sixth floor.
The amenities at the hotel were good for the price. The roof top patio and bar area was a highlight and we enjoyed a couple of afternoons up here watching the sun set and the lights turn on at the Acropolis. The prices of the bar were inexpensive and they had a good variety of options. There was a sitting room that had tea and coffee midday and they kept it open in the evening so we were able to sit together and talk. They had laundry service, baggage storage and could help arrange tours or car hires as well at the front desk with their friendly and welcoming staff.
The breakfast at this hotel was very good for the price. They had something for everyone and lots of place to sit. Highlights for us were the Greek yoghurt and the spinach and feta stuffed pastries. They also had mini sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs, feta cheese, cucumber, tomatoes, breads, baklava, croissants, dried fruits, fresh fruits, juices and a coffee machine. We looked forward to breakfast each morning.
The hotel provided a good base for exploring and was centrally located. We would say if you're looking to save money and have a good breakfast to start your day in Athens this hotel is a good choice.
Mmarian8iaFirst of all shout out to the cleaning ladies they did a great job cleaning my room everyday and I know their work is pretty hard. Second the people at the reception are lovely and kind, very helpful when asking questions and very nice to talk to. The room was even bigger than the pictures I loved it and felt so comfortable. Also nice that they have Netflix!!!
Pame wild will be my go to hotel when I visit Athens again!!
SShobyThat hotel can easily be the best hotel in the area if they paid more attention to the renovation issue.. The place is well located and nice old classic design..
Staff are very helpful and breakfast was ok too..
They can't be blamed about few homeless people around as it's like that everywhere around that area.
ผผู้เข้าพักGreat location as all main tourist sites (including Kerameikos and Filopappou Hill) were walkable - also outside the main tourist area, which was a plus. Roof terrace also pleasant at the end of the day.
Hotel facilities are limited: WiFi, internet tv only (on mine you had to log in with your own details), aircon, tea/coffee, free bottled water. Cold breakfast option (set price of €10 - not €8 as shown on the website). Airport pick-up is now also €50 (more than shown currently on website).
Rooms modern but.mine was starting to look slightly tired. In theory it was a ‘suite’ suitable for four (two small rooms) but this would have been extremely cramped, particularly as each room had only a ‘space saver’ type wardrobe ie. wardrobe rail coming out from the wall with a mirror in front and no other storage and a sofa bed in the ‘living room’.
Despite the website description of each room with (only) a power shower, mine had a shower over the bath.
Service was average: front desk tried to be helpful but local knowledge was lacking. Bed was made each day, but tea/coffee/water were not refreshed and used glasses and mugs were not cleaned. Despite this, towels WERE refreshed daily and there was no option (card or other mechanism) to get this stopped. I was surprised: it seems that saving water and energy had passed the hotel by entirely.
In conclusion: compared to other prices and areas of Athens I paid a reasonable amount, but given the reviews had expected more from the hotel, although I couldn’t honestly say that it was bad, just ‘average’.

PPuay Teck OngThe exterior of the hotel look inviting; however when we walked through the front door you can feel the heavy curtain around the lobby have not been clean for long time. All the sofa in the lobby are covered with some sort of clothes I guess it is to cover the old and uninviting sight. The check in process was straight forward and friendly.
None of the light on the stairs are working and I had to use the flash light on my phone to light a path up and down the stairs, could be dangerous if you need to evacuate the hotel quickly.
The room door has key card slot but I guess it is broken as I needed a physical key to unlock the room door and a keycard to turn on the electricity, the room size is good and high ceiling. The bathroom has no hook for the handheld shower head so not so convenient to have a shower, the water also not always hot enough.
The air conditioner was blowing warm air even though the dial was set to cold and it made the room so more warmer and uncomfortable to sleep. The hotel reviews seem to suggest this is one of the common issue people has been complaining about for more than 10 years!!!! I ended up open all the windows to cool the room down and this invited traffic noise all night long.
The hotel has been neglected for way too many years and surprisingly still in business????
HHarjinder SinghThe place is well set up and facilities are good. About 15 min walk to nearest attractions. Check in a little unclear upon arriving so best to find out this before coming
