What guests think

Across many reviews, Plaka Hotel stands out for its central Plaka location, friendly and helpful staff, and a rooftop bar-restaurant with striking Acropolis views, alongside generally clean rooms and a well-liked, generous breakfast selection.

Rooms are often small with comfortable beds and some great views, but several guests report street or rooftop noise, dated common areas, and occasional AC or bathtub/shower design frustrations. The rooftop is a highlight yet may require reservations in the evening, limiting casual access. Overall, expect a well-situated, value-focused city stay with standout views and warm service.

Room was very clean. Great location. We were on the 6th floor. It sounded like someone was moving furniture continuously above us until about 10:30. Avoid that floor if possible. Also, the restaurant filled up and we weren’t able to eat dinner at the hotel as planned. We even mentioned it to the staff. Did not realize a reservation would be needed.

The roof top view is incredible. The location of the hotel cannot be beat. Close to everything including the Metro. The staff seemed genuinely interested in helping whenever asked for assistance. May only suggestion is to add umbrellas on the roof top deck as it gets very warm in the direct sunshine.

To use the Roof top as an amenity with all day access is FALSE! All hotel guests get kicked out before 6pm when the restaurant opens! They lock the access door and no entry thru restaurant without dinner reservations! Totally false advertising! Breakfast is average. Also in there they clean your table at 10am even if you are still sitting there? lol This was our third stay and will not book this hotel again Plenty of similar hotels in the same block or so. This stay was 5 nights for about $1000. With no evening access to advertised rooftop. Having a bar is a nice touch however even with drink purchase we got chased out after 45 minutes! All tables have reserved signs starting at 4:45. Shameful!

Das Plaka Hotel liegt zentral in Athen. Die meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten erreicht man innerhalb von 20 min zu Fuß. Die Zimmer waren ausreichend groß und wurden täglich gereinigt. Das Frühstück war sehr gut, neben dem typischen Frühstücksbuffet waren auch griechische Spezialitäten vorhanden. Besonders toll fanden wir die nette Geste vom Personal beim Frühstück jeden Gast persönlich zu Fragen ob alles in Ordnung ist und Ausflugstipps für den Tag zu geben. Ein Cocktail auf der Dachterrasse ist ein Muss. Wir kommen gern wieder.

The hotel was very clean, and the front desk staff were helpful. Breakfast was excellent! They also assist with arranging transportation, which was convenient. I’m not sure about parking options since we took a Lyft from the airport to the hotel. It was a bit noisy at times, but that’s to be expected in a busy downtown area.

Quaint hotel in an ideal Plaka location. Would have given it 4 stars except the room we were given was on the 6th (top) floor under the rooftop restaurant. All we heard each evening tom 6-midnight were chairs scraping/dragging across the floor. Very annoying especially the last night when we had to retire early for a very early morning taxi to the airport. Also, there was only one mirror in the bathroom making it challenging for my wife to dry her hair as the only plug was outside the bathroom.

The location is excellent and within walking distance of main sites. It was great for 1 night. The staff was excellent and we were able to check-in early when we arrived. The price was great. The rooftop bar has an excellent view of the Acropolis. the down-side was the room was small and and the air conditioning unit would shut off after a while so the room was not cool when we returned after being in the hot sun.
