Plaka Athens|0.1km from Plaka
Location Excellent for reaching all the main sites. You can walk to the base of the Acropolis in around 10 mins and all the highlights are within a 30 min walk. Outside the door are a number of cafes/restaurants that are open from 8am for breakfast until late at night. You definitely won’t want to rent a car as the streets are tiny and hard to navigate even for experienced taxi drivers! If you want dropping off, it is easier ask taxis to take you to the temple of Zeus as this is on the main road and you can walk through the side streets for 3 mins to get to the hotel. The surrounding streets are filled with every restaurant, cafe, ice cream shop and souvenir shop you could possibly want. Check in and out We arranged an airport transfer in advance with the hotel for €38.50 and would really advise doing this as the driver met us in Arrivals and the hotel staff met us on the side road and brought us and our luggage to the main door as cars can’t drive down the streets immediately surrounding the hotel. The man on reception was very helpful and gave us a map. We asked for a taxi to be booked to our next destination and this was arranged for us easily and the whole process was very quick. The hotel was extremely quick to respond to emails I sent. Hotel You have a small kitchen upstairs, but this did not seem to contain anything other than tea to drink. There was plenty of crockery and cutlery if you wanted to buy food and eat it there. They have made an effort to make the entrance and stairs pretty and welcoming. The outside is also very attractive. This is not a hotel suited to those with mobility issues as the rooms are accessed up some twisty internal steps. It wasn’t too noisy at night, with only a little noise from the restaurants, but you do get some noise from street buskers and other people opening and closing doors. Room The room is very spacious for a city centre room and had all the expected amenities. There is a safe, but it is very small. The bed was very comfortable with thick pillows. The decor is tasteful if perhaps a little plain. We felt very at home in the room. The main thing we would suggest improving is that both the room door and toilet door were very stiff and required slamming to close and noise carries quite a bit there as the doors have frosted glass panels. The room was cleaned daily. We had a city view room that looked out over the square. Bathroom There is a hairdryer and nice toiletries provided in the bathroom. The only thing missing was liquid soap as they provide bars instead so bring your own if your prefer it. There was a walk in shower and no bath. We would return if we wanted another city break in Athens.

Adam's Hotel

Plaka Athens|0.16km from Plaka
Adams Hotel is a basic hotel with an incredible location. It is located hotel in the heart of the popular Plaka area. LOCATION: It could not have been more central. We walked everywhere. It is a 5 - 6 minute walk to the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum. Hadrian’s Arch and the Temple of Olympian Zeus are just around the corner. It is close to Adrianou and Kidathineon Streets, lively, fun streets full of restaurants, bars and shops. Brettos Bar (which I highly recommend) is just a few minutes away. ROOM: Our room was very small but we were only there for one night and it was clean and the bed was comfortable, so it did the job. It was perfectly adequate and was good value for the price. There were small compromises for example the soap/shampoo were in dispensers on the wall instead of having separate toiletries and the towels were small and thin but on the upside, the water supply was strong and stayed hot. SERVICE: Service was consistently friendly and welcoming. Email communication before we arrived was good. They replied quickly and they gave us clear instructions for arrival. They stored our bags for a few hours after check-out so that we could go and explore. In any case we were not rushed out as check-out was 12:00, which is a generous time. A buffet-style breakfast was included in the price. The dining room at the front of the hotel was a pleasant spot to sit and the breakfast was fine. FACILITIES: This is a decent but basic hotel so if you want a range of hotel facilities, then this is not for you. There is a rooftop balcony but we did not go up there (a shame as I believe it has good views of the Acropolis) but thats about it. A very small kiosk in the tiny square outside the hotel, called Salt N Sugar where we grabbed a coffee.

Electra Palace Athens
4.5/5127 Reviews
Well, well, well, what can i write or say about this gem. The Electra Palace Hotel, located bang in the middle of downtown Athens is absolutely superb. Everything the city has to offer is within walking distance from the hotel. The view of the Acropolis from our room is spectacular, not to mention the to ”die-for” view from the 8th floor restaurant - you can ”touch” the Acropolis from here!😄 The breakfast at the Electra Palace is top notch and is delicious. The service at the hotel is top notch, and one of the best I have ever experienced in over 30 years of travelling. The staff, from the concierge to the receptionists, and restaurant staff, all provided extremely high professional services. I will single out George, the receptionist, who made us feel extremely welcome with one of the biggest smiles and professional services I have ever experienced. George has a saying each time we interacted with him, and it was ”each time you smile, good things will always come your way.” This saying came through when George found my brand new Samsung Ear Bud after I lost it and the hotel began a whole day of searching inside the hotel and outside at the restaurants we visited. Thank you, George, you're the best. Also, Dimitris, who helped us with our luggages was fantastic. All in all, Electra Palace Hotel is a superb hotel, and we will definitely go back there.

101 Adrianou Luxury Urban Stay
4.7/5104 Reviews
Plaka
The room is large and the location is good. It is the waiter who is at the front desk in the morning, and there is no one in the afternoon. It is said that the front desk service of the hotel is for a long time. It is said that there is no kitchen in the room of the hotel. There is no breakfast provided, they recommend you to eat at a nearby hotel.
99 Adrianou Luxury Urban Stay

Plaka
The room with a view of the Acropolis was big enough and very modern and minimalistic. There was also a small ”studio” kitchen right next to the bathroom. Unfortunately, the shower was designed in such a way that, despite the shower curtain, the whole bathroom was under water right up to the toilet... for hours :/ There is also a school opposite and the windows are not particularly soundproof, so it gets quite loud in the mornings. The curtains were only semi-dark. But the location was absolutely perfect!! :)
