Athen Hoteller

Fordeler: Room is well appointed and very comedienne. Staff is friendly and helpful. A beautiful well decorated old hotel with modern conveniences.

Ulemper: Service in restaurants was a little sporatic. Water pressure in shower a little weak. No check out on TV, and in person checkout was slow.

Fordeler: Very pleasant and knowledgeable concierge

Ulemper: We didn't like the room first provided but after complaining received smaller but with much better view. Why not to provide the better room initially?

Fordeler: Loved the elegance of the hotel, service and roof top dining.

Ulemper: Nothing, just perfect!

Fordeler: Rommet er godt utstyrt og svært comedienne. De ansatte er vennlige og hjelpsomme. En vakker fint innredet gammelt hotell med moderne fasiliteter.

Ulemper: Service i restaurantene var litt sporatic. Vanntrykket i dusjen litt svak. Ikke ta en titt på TV-en, og i person utsjekking var treg.

Fordeler: very handy for the sites, close to airport bus & metro breakfast was good

Ulemper: The carpets in the hallways were stained, as was the room plus the curtains were marked,

Fordeler: - great location: next to Syntagma square, all the main tourist places are within walking distance - great breakfast: very good variety of savoury and sweet dishes, - Nice, large, clean and comfortable room: room and hotel are well maintained

Ulemper: - we booked a double room and added "double bed" in our request, but for some reason, it was not communicated to the hotel (too many intermediary agents?) - so we were given twin room. The hotel was full and couldn't change our room. Make sure to email the hotel directly after booking!

Fordeler: The location cannot be beat. You are right in the middle of most of the main attractions. The breakfast is very good.

Ulemper: The shower was a bit small in my room, and the bed was a little too firm, but other than that it wa an excellent hotel.

Fordeler: The Plaka Hotel is the best place to stay in Athens. It is centrally located and has a spectacular view of the Acropolis from the rooftop patio. It is close walking distance to the major tourist sites, shops and restaurants. Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and have air conditioning. Breakfast is a must do in the morning. While enjoying your delicious breakfast, you can get friendly information and advice from your hostess. First week of May is a perfect time to visit Athens. Temperature is around 24C to 27C. Visit the National Archaeological Museum (10 Euros) and Athens Academy of Arts if you like to take pictures of statues. Laundry service is also available.

Fordeler: This is a respectable hotel, that gives good basic services to it's guests. It's overall advantage is it's location. Stay at Plaka Hotel and all of Athens is easily available to you.

Ulemper: I have nothing to complain about.

Fordeler: The friendliness of the staff and how helpful they were all the time; they gave us tips to move around and help us to keep our luggage even when we've already checked out. The hotel is well located with many important places (most-visited historic attractions) at walking distance; also great was having a convenient small market next door where we could get fruits, beverages, baked goods, etc. The breakfast were very good, as well as the views from the roof lounge.

Ulemper: The maze of streets – if you're driving a car there, it is hard to park and easy to get lost in the many one-direction streets.

Fordeler: Rooftop terrace view and Elsa our bartender. Efharisto!!!

Fordeler: The terrace has a beautiful view of the Acropolis and the location is very close to restaurants, bars, and other places you would like to see and visit.

Fordeler: clean, quiet, good beds, staff were sooooooooo friendly, soooooo helpful, roof top bar/lounging area was so quiet and romantic, looking right at the acropolis. hotel right in the old town of Athens, the ancient agora. been to Athens many times, 2nd time at Plaka Hotel, will only stay there from now on.

Ulemper: nothing

Fordeler: The lobby was beautiful with artistic wire statues and a bar/restaurant with trees growing through it. The staff is very professional and tries to be very helpful (though both times I stayed at the hotel there was not a doorman to greet me and carry my luggage up the steps). Gorgeous rooftop bar and a nice jacuzzi area on the floor below it.

Ulemper: We stayed at the hotel 2 nights--one at the beginning of our trip and one at the end. The first room we had at the beginning of our trip literally reminded me of a hostel I'd once stayed at--the bed was a hard board looking thing with a gross looking red coverlet (not even a comforter). We also did not get one bed but instead, two twins pushed together. When I returned on the last leg of my trip I mentioned this but they only had one room left and put me in an equally bad room (only after accidentally giving me the key to an occupied room). This room at least had better beds and bedding but because it was on the first floor, it had no natural sunlight (blocked by the building) and made me feel as if I was staying in someone's basement. It was also a smaller room than the first and we struggled to find a place out of the way to put both of our suitcases. The air conditioner also leaked water. It's a shame--beautiful hotel but sadly the rooms are not up to par. Perhaps at $200 US dollars/night I didn't spend enough to get a nice room?

Fordeler: Great value for money, well located close to the Acropolis, nice common areas and pleasant breakfast room. Rooms are well equipped and very clean.

Ulemper: Bathroom a bit dated, but very clean. No issues. Room had no view, but for the money, more than acceptable.

Fordeler: The location of the hotel is great, with easy access to the Acropolis, Acropolis Museum and the Acropolis Metro. Make sure to ask for an outside facing room as some rooms can be small and cramped. The downstairs lobby area is very nice with a good atmosphere to sit and talk or to read/write.

Ulemper: Sometimes the rooms can be cramped and dark. Sometimes cab drivers can't locate it, but just tell them to drop you off by the Acropolis Museum and you can navigate it easily.

Fordeler: This is the perfect location for exploring Athens. Safe Street, restaurants and shopping nearby, immediately adjacent to the modern and magnificent Acropolis museum. Staff were friendly and accommodating. The rooms were very quiet and the rooftop view of the Acropolis is spectacular.

Ulemper: The location was terrible and the staff was extremely unhelpful. I fell down a staircase and not one person offered to help me up or ask if I was ok. The hotel room was filthy and full of flies. I felt extremely unsafe staying there and DO NOT recommended this hotel to anyone in the future. The bathroom was also dirty I had to clean the tub myself before I could even use it as it was filled with debris and hair. Overall the experience was awful.

Fordeler: Good area near lots of restaurants and major sites. Hotel is very basic with very small rooms. Good to rest and shower but far from luxury. Basic tourist level 2/3 star spot. AC was very good.

Ulemper: Towels need an upgrade. Very thin and overused. Bed was very hard and small.

Fordeler: It was a cheap stay for 1 night during transit. The location was great and it was easy to be able to walk to all the sites in Athens downtown (i.e. Syntgama square, Monisteraki market and Plaka). Breakfast was good and starts early. I am a vegetarian and I had few options but plenty like fruits, cereals, bread and some dessert. They have juice, coffee and tea. For meat eaters, they had lots of options like eggs, some cured meats, fish, omelette, etc.

Ulemper: The carpets were outdated and looked overused. The bathroom was too small and compact. Had a stuffy smell in the room which I guess was because of old carpet.

Fordeler: Bra område ved mange restauranter og de viktigste attraksjonene. Hotellet er veldig enkelt med veldig små rom. Godt å hvile og dusj men langt fra luksus. Grunnleggende turist nivå 2/3 stjerners sted. AC var meget bra.

Ulemper: Håndklærne trenger en oppgradering. Svært tynne og slitte. Sengen var veldig hard og liten.

Fordeler: The rooms are big and the location is great next to shopping and restaurants.

Ulemper: Nothing

Fordeler: Very nice place located in the heart of the city with a good value. The staff was always there to help and made excellent recommendations for our stay.

Ulemper: Would've loved to have a single queen bed in stead of two twins but this is not that unusual in Greece.

Fordeler: The views from the rooftop bar were gorgeous. Breakfast spread was excellent

Ulemper: Room was tiny, bathroom was tiny, staff was incredibly rude. Make sure you state the number of guests (e.g., 2) and not just that you need one bed or they will try to give you twin bed.

Fordeler: Excellent customer service, modern and spacious room I will definitely come back and stay with Electra.

Fordeler: Utsikten fra baren på taket var fantastisk. Frokostpålegg var utmerket

Fordeler: I was on a tour. The first night was on me. very good room and this extended to second night. Off i went on the tour and returned for last night. This room was very small and nothing like the first night. There was painting and construction on floor and we had to pass through this to get to the room. The hotel did call to let me know about the length of work and offered a new room. I was too tired to move. They did send up a lovely tray of fruit and bottle water. I think the size of the room was picked by the tour not the hotel. The staff was great.

Ulemper: The business center. Not personal at all. I walked in asking about the getting a boarding pass. The lady pointed to the computer. I explained that I was not knowledgeable about computers. I was told to key in my airline and follow instructions. No help. She was not busy. I guest I look like a tourist and not a business person.

Fordeler: Our family enjoyed the rooftop pool as a wonderful break from sightseeing, and the included breakfast far exceeded expectations !!

Fordeler: The bathroom was roomy, clean, and nice. The furniture in the room was all matching and liked nice. Late night check in was a breeze.

Ulemper: The bed was extremely hard.

Fordeler: Badet var romslige, rene og fine. Møblene på rommet var alle samsvarende og likte godt. Sent på kvelden innsjekkingen gikk som en drøm.

Ulemper: Sengen var svært vanskelig.
