Several mention nighttime noise from nearby rooftop bars or other guests. Breakfast is provided at a nearby cafe; many enjoy it, though service and voucher logistics can be slow or inconvenient. Facilities are otherwise limited, and the rooftop bar may be closed outside summer. Good for travelers who value modern comfort and easy city access over a glossy setting.

PLAY Theatrou Athens is fantastic. Rooms are very clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The rooftop bar has a spectacular view! I loved being able to easily reach hotel staff through WhatsApp. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The neighborhood around the hotel is diverse and vibrant, convenient to all popular Athens attractions. It is also well situated for exploration of off the beaten path sights. When I return to Athens, I definitely will stay at PLAY Theatrou again.

The hotel is situated near the Psirri square, between Monastiraki and Omonoia square (please stay away from Omonoia as there is high criminality and lots of drug addicts around the place sometimes taking drugs in broad daylight). The location is very good for enjoying a meal or coffee at Psirri, 10 minutes from Monastiraki and about 20 minutes from the Akropolis. The place does not have hotel facilities. There is no bar or cafe inside. Breakfast is served at a place nearby. You will be better not buying it and simply getting your own. The air-conditioning in the room was extremely loud and clearly needs repair. The TV was hanging on one side. There can be noise coming from outside. Staff was generally kind and helpful. I would have liked some flexibility with check out. I think 11am is too early especially when check in is at 3pm the earliest. This place is more suited for young travellers. For what it is I would consider it at the pricier side.

Nuovo appena ristrutturato, molto pulito, personale professionale e gentilissimo, camera rifatta ogni giorno con cambio, ottimo transfer aeroporto. Alcune case dei dintorni da ristrutturare. Meglio le camere sull'interno per massima tranquillità perchè intorno di sabato si possono svolgere feste con musica. Piazza Psyri a due passi bella scoperta. Il roof top con vista Acropoli un esperienza unica!

Great views of the Acropolis and surrounding areas (from level 7 and up). The balconies were perfectly roomy for two people, majority of them had two soft cusioned chairs and loveseat with table, net hanging chair and umbrella. We had the 8th floor and the balcony had about 100 square feet of space. What i didnt see in the reviews prior to booking, is the hostel across the street has a rooftop disco which starts up around 6 pm and ends around 2AM on Sat and around midnight on Sunday. Even with windows closed, could hear the music fairly well. Otherwise, during the daytime, it is rather a quiet neighborhood. Many buildings around the hotel are either vacant, in the process of renovation, or just abandoned. The Indian restaurant in front of Play is really good. The breakfast offered with additional payment is located about a 5 min walk off property. Breakfast selection is limited to the 'coupon holder', but is rather good. Service from the staff seemed to reapond faster to the non coupon holders (just our observation). Word of caution for those with lugging baggage from the closest metro - it is a rather long walk and not the smoothest of surfaces. Do youself a favor and get a taxi reserved from the staff at the hotel for an early flight out. Would i stay here again, sure.. but I like to visit many hotels when i visit Athens.

Hôtel idéalement situé. À 5/6 mn du métro Monastiraki et à 2 mn du marché couvert. Proche de tout mais pas du bruit. Personnel très accueillant. Espace commun et chambre très propre et faite tous les jours. Très bonne douche. Très bon resto grecque en bas de l’hôtel. Si besoin parking payant couvert en bas de l’hôtel également. Seul bémol, dans la salle de bain aucun meuble ou étagère pour poser ses affaires.

Great hotel- seems quite newly renovated & everything was comfortable & clean. The rooftop is unreal with a perfect view of the Acropolis & Parthenon. We had a room with terrace & acropolis view- worth it! We had so much space we didn’t know what to do (not your typical European hotel room). When we first arrived it was a little challenging to find the door because there’s a couple restaurants on either side & tables on the sidewalk that we had to negotiate thru, but the sign for the hire was pretty visible. If you turn left out of the hotel & go down a few blocks the neighborhood looks quite rough but we did not have any issues (we also did not go where it looked a little less welcoming). There is a rooftop bar close by that plays loud house music (we enjoyed listening from our terrace & even ventured over for a taste of the Greek party scene), but they closed by about 1am so it wasn’t something that kept us from getting some sleep. (Maybe bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper, my husband had no problem falling & staying asleep). Staff was helpful & kind. Great spot overall & easy to walk to neighboring sites & restaurants.

Wir waren vier Nächte in diesem Hotel. Es war mal ein Besuch der anderen Art. Mit der Rezeption wird kommuniziert über WhatsApp und statt Schlüssel oder Schlüssel Karten gibt es Pincodes für die Eingangs - und Zimmertüren. Die Zimmer waren super modern, sauber und schön eingerichtet. Als Willkommensgeschenk haben wir eine Flasche Wein bekommen, Wasser und eine Kaffeemaschine befinden sich auf dem Zimmer. Wir waren bereits in unzähligen Hotels, aber ein so bequemes Bett habe ich noch nie erlebt. Das Personal war super freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Hotel hat kein eigenes Restaurant, was im ersten Moment etwas seltsam wirkt, in der Realität jedoch wirklich cool gelöst ist. Zum Frühstück holt man sich an der Rezeption, welche 24/7 besetzt ist seine Frühstücksgutscheine und geht dann los. 2 Minuten Fußweg in das wohl schönste Viertel von Athen. Dort befindet sich ein Café, in dem man frühstückt. Wir waren mit unserem Aufenthalt wunschlos zufrieden. Sollten wir wieder nach Athen fliegen, werden wir wieder dieses Hotel besuchen. Es ist wirklich sehr zu empfehlen.

The hotel is conveniently located & walking distance to the metro. I walked around day and night sometimes down dark streets & never felt unsafe. If you don’t like graffiti or it makes you uncomfortable, don’t come to Greece. I was not aware there is a code for the hotel front door. I had to ring the bell to be allowed inside. Once at the reservation desk I was greeted by a friendly woman. Check in was easy & I was provided a code to the hotel and my room doors. I didn’t find out there was an elevator to the ground floor till day 4 so I carried my bags upstairs the 1st day & kept taking the elevator to floor 1 and walking down them. No one said anything to me as I walked pass registration everyday. The hotel is pretty quiet. The room & bathroom is a decent size. I wish there was more counter space for my toiletries. The towels were quite rough but replaced daily. The shower door was kind of annoying as placement made it difficult to not bump into the sink trying to get in and out. There was a sewer smell most mornings but none when I would return in the late afternoon/evening. The enjoyed the balcony that was only accessible from just outside my room door. The 1st floor has a lot of areas to relax & have a glass of wine inside and outside which was nice. The rooftop bar is very quiet & a beautiful skyline view of the city. It could use some jazzing up to encourage people to want to go up there. Overall the stay was an ok. It did its job. Thanks!

Das Personal war freundlich und das Zimmer war sauber. Für das Frühstück musste man ca.5min zu Fuß gehen , ist aber sehr gut ! Die Gegend wirkt zwar nicht einladend doch ist man innerhalb von ein paar Minuten auf einem großen Platz .. Wir waren 3 Nächte , die anderen Gäste waren teilweise Nachts sehr laut da man sehr viel hört aber für diese Preisklasse darf man sich nicht viel erwarten . Das große Negative war und ist der fürchterliche Gestank im Badezimmer! Hier hat es stark nachdem Duschen nach Abwasser und Kanal gestunken , in der Früh war es katastrophal, die Reinigungskräfte haben täglich Flüssigkeit in den Kanal geschüttet und mit Duftspray ein bisschen Besserung geschaffen. Scheint hier ein gängiges Problem zu sein .

The hotel is above a really popular local restaurant. It's within easy walking distance of two metro stations. We're very happy we booked the hotel and would stay again.

The service we received at the hotel is amazing. Nothing to say about that or the cleanliness. They are quick to answer and help if needed. The only bemol would be that the insulation is not great so you hear a lot of the outside noises. You should definitely take the time to visit the hotel rooftop. The view of the Acropolis is impressive!

The room was spacious, clean and each bedroom had a balcony and the view of the Acropolis was outstanding from the living room balcony! The hotel staff was excellent and very responsive to our needs. We were even given a bottle of local wine to welcome us! The area that the hotel is located in seemed a bit sketchy upon arrival with graffiti everywhere. One of our taxi drivers told us 10 years ago, the area was bad but it has improved tremendously. It appears the area is going through a regentrification. It is centrally located within walking distance of many restaurants and shops. The restaurants were great and the shopping fantastic and all the people we met were very friendly and welcoming. Overall, I would definitely recommend a stay at the Play Theatrou Athens!

Great views of the Acropolis and surrounding areas (from level 7 and up). The balconies were perfectly roomy for two people, majority of them had two soft cusioned chairs and loveseat with table, net hanging chair and umbrella. We had the 8th floor and the balcony had about 100 square feet of space. What i didnt see in the reviews prior to booking, is the hostel across the street has a rooftop disco which starts up around 6 pm and ends around 2AM on Sat and around midnight on Sunday. Even with windows closed, could hear the music fairly well. Otherwise, during the daytime, it is rather a quiet neighborhood. Many buildings around the hotel are either vacant, in the process of renovation, or just abandoned. The Indian restaurant in front of Play is really good. The breakfast offered with additional payment is located about a 5 min walk off property. Breakfast selection is limited to the 'coupon holder', but is rather good. Service from the staff seemed to reapond faster to the non coupon holders (just our observation). Word of caution for those with lugging baggage from the closest metro - it is a rather long walk and not the smoothest of surfaces. Do youself a favor and get a taxi reserved from the staff at the hotel for an early flight out. Would i stay here again, sure.. but I like to visit many hotels when i visit Athens.

The breakfast offered with additional payment is located about a 5 min walk off property. Breakfast selection is limited to the 'coupon holder', but is rather good. Service from the staff seemed to reapond faster to the non coupon holders (just our observation). Word of caution for those with lugging baggage from the closest metro - it is a rather long walk and not the smoothest of surfaces. Do youself a favor and get a taxi reserved from the staff at the hotel for an early flight out. Would i stay here again, sure.. but I like to visit many hotels when i visit Athens.

Great hotel! Amazing views. Spacious rooms and extra spacious balconies! Couldn’t be happier with this choice. The shower had a door leading to the patio which made romantic showers and views extra special. The neighbouring hotel had music blaring until around midnight which we thoroughly enjoyed. We ended up having a little party on our balcony instead of going out. Loved it. Huge mini fridge, comfy bed, amazing robes and slippers! The only downside was the area seemed a little sketch when we first got there but ended up being great. Walkable to everything and free parking on the street. The restaurant below the hotel was always packed so you def felt safe! Can’t wait to visit again!

The hotel itself is newly refurbished and lovely, very clean and the staff were very responsive and friendly. I have nothing but great things to say about the hotel itself. The room was very large. We had a sitting room, living room and bedroom with double balcony. The view from the living room window was the Acropolis. (Not the view from the balcony.) But it was great. Sadly all the things that we didnt like about the stay were nothing to do with the actual hotel. Its located just outside the cute market area, where all the rest of buildings have yet to be fixed. Its quite a rough block or two. There is also a roof top patio across the street that played music until 1am both evenings (wed & thur eve) by the 2nd night I knew I could never stay a 3rd. It was just so loud. We tried to get our complimentary breakfast which was provided by a restaurant about 3 min walk but after waiting 50 min we had to leave for our Acropolis tour. I ended up buying 2 bananas from a vendor in the market on our way. The 2nd morning we didnt dare try our luck again but went to a restaurant just past them and had a great breakfast. Half the time and the 24€ it was worth not stressing if we would miss our flight or not by having to wait. Again, the hotel itself was great, unfortunately its surrounding areas and collaboration with the restaurant, that let it down.

Great hotel- seems quite newly renovated & everything was comfortable & clean. The rooftop is unreal with a perfect view of the Acropolis & Parthenon. We had a room with terrace & acropolis view- worth it! We had so much space we didn’t know what to do (not your typical European hotel room). When we first arrived it was a little challenging to find the door because there’s a couple restaurants on either side & tables on the sidewalk that we had to negotiate thru, but the sign for the hire was pretty visible. If you turn left out of the hotel & go down a few blocks the neighborhood looks quite rough but we did not have any issues (we also did not go where it looked a little less welcoming). There is a rooftop bar close by that plays loud house music (we enjoyed listening from our terrace & even ventured over for a taste of the Greek party scene), but they closed by about 1am so it wasn’t something that kept us from getting some sleep. (Maybe bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper, my husband had no problem falling & staying asleep). Staff was helpful & kind. Great spot overall & easy to walk to neighboring sites & restaurants.

PLAY Theatrou Athens is fantastic. Rooms are very clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The rooftop bar has a spectacular view! I loved being able to easily reach hotel staff through WhatsApp. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The neighborhood around the hotel is diverse and vibrant, convenient to all popular Athens attractions. It is also well situated for exploration of off the beaten path sights. When I return to Athens, I definitely will stay at PLAY Theatrou again.

The staff was professional, informative, pleasant, and helpful to arrange transfers. One person in particular at the reception area was Myleta. She made us smile everyday starting with her infectious smile every morning when she greeted us as we walked through the lobby. She made sure that we had everything we needed and gave us good advice on where to go, what to see and how to get there. All of the staff were cheerful and pleasant. What we really appreciated is that the hotel location is just outside of the tourist area meaning less crowded with tourists and more authentic food as well as local people eating and singing at the restaurant on the street level below the hotel. We had a chance to meet and talk with Athenians living in the area!!!! We would definitely stay here the next time we visit Athens.

Very central and walkable to Monastiraki, Plaka, and major sights, with metro access nearby. Many note the immediate area looks run-down or gritty and can feel uncomfortable at night, though some still felt safe.

The room overall was great , clean . Around the area it has a lot of old buildings and lots of graffiti, but that’s all around Athens . The place is safe the people around are nice and it’s safe to walk around . Loved that 2 blocks away you have the tourist area lots to eat and shop . It’s only like 20 mt. Walki from the acropolis. And you have the view of the acropolis from the roof top ( very nice ) definitely would stay here again . Make sure you get your PIN number to enter the hotel before you arrive . That’s something I don’t know . But luckily there was someone coming out when we got there , it was at night .

The hotel is situated near the Psirri square, between Monastiraki and Omonoia square (please stay away from Omonoia as there is high criminality and lots of drug addicts around the place sometimes taking drugs in broad daylight). The location is very good for enjoying a meal or coffee at Psirri, 10 minutes from Monastiraki and about 20 minutes from the Akropolis. The place does not have hotel facilities. There is no bar or cafe inside. Breakfast is served at a place nearby. You will be better not buying it and simply getting your own. The air-conditioning in the room was extremely loud and clearly needs repair. The TV was hanging on one side. There can be noise coming from outside. Staff was generally kind and helpful. I would have liked some flexibility with check out. I think 11am is too early especially when check in is at 3pm the earliest. This place is more suited for young travellers. For what it is I would consider it at the pricier side.

The room was very nice, spacious, clean and overall great value for what I paid. Check in was smooth. One highlight was the restaurant just outside the hotel serving delicious, authentic Greek food. While the immediate area around the hotel feels a bit gritty, you are just a 5 minute walk from several nice spots and major attractions, which makes the location very convenient overall.

The property was very clean, nice and very friendly staff. It was our Anniversary and I requested for some balloons and they managed it even with a short notice. Very understanding. The area outside property was bit not nice and was lonely. The breakfast where they provided was very good. There was noise outside which was bit disturbing but since it's in a party area can understand that.

Veldig bra location for å utforske sentrale Athen, og meget god/moderne standard på rom (hotellet er i en totalrenovert bygning). På takterrassen er det helt fantastisk utsikt over Athen og Akropolis, og der kan du også få noe å drikke. Det er ingenting spesielt som skjer i det umiddelbare nærområdet, men det er ikke mange minutters gange der «alt» skjer. Merk at det ikke er frokost på selve hotellet.

We recently stayed here for 10 nights. Overall qe we very satisfied. Good points: - the hotel is close to all major amenities - staff is amazing and speak english - good views from the rooftop bar - housekeeping done daily - they do not have a restaurant on site but partner up with a tavern 3 minutes walk from the hotel. Breakfast is super with loads of choices. - rooms are modern and the bed was comfy. The only negative points we have: - noisy area as its close to a market. - a run down area at the back of the market seems to attract a lot of drug addicts. Even walking past them during the day whilst they hold their syringes. It does not make you feel safe walking at night.

Hotel molto bello, di recente ristrutturazione, con ogni comfort e sicuramente molto pulito. Unico problema è la colazione, che si deve fare in un bar convenzionato, vicinissimo all’hotel, ma che ha un servizio lentissimo: ci vuole circa 1 ora per fare colazione! Circa 45 minuti solo per essere serviti…tuttavia tutte le cose sono preparate sul momento e sono buone, soprattutto un ottimo cappuccino.

The hotel is in a good location although surroundings are quite run down. The interior ist not very nice, but rooms are ok, beds comfortable. Reception very friendly, a highlight is the rooftop bar with splendid view of the Akropolis, although service here is very basic 19 out of 20 wines were not available.. Breakfast is in a cafe 5 minutes apart at a lively crossing with a good choice of set menus, oddly they let you ask every morning for the vouchers instead of giving them to you at check-in. Price rather high for what you get.

This hotel is in a very questionable area of Athens. I would not recommend single women going there alone. Even the taxi driver warned me (and this never happened to me in Athens before). It feels like a warehouse district. The description says it is 12 miles away from the airport. It is actually 27 miles away. I never would have stayed that far away. I was supposed to get a "City View" room. It was not! It overlooked a courtyard filled with bricks and debris. I paid $15 euro for the "breakfast". It was basically cold coffee and warm juices. There was only one type of bread (other than white) to choose from. The coffee pot was cold and essentially empty and I asked the woman at the desk to brew another pot. She said yes and continued with her work. I waited 10 minutes and then got breakfast outside. I have been to Athens 6 times in the last 8 months and I would not come back here if it was for free! You have been warned!

Excellent location not far from Monastiraki station. Funky building with a really cool feel. A couple of nights the air conditioning was a bit too much and was centrally controlled so could not do anything about it. Wonderful to have snacks at reception especially as I had to be somewhere in the morning before the cafe opened
