Plaka Hotel offers an excellent location right in the heart of Athens, with great value for money. The rooftop terrace is a highlight, boasting amazing views of the Acropolis. Breakfast was tasty and satisfying, and while the hotel isn’t luxurious, it provides everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Welcoming. Nice room but no water heater for coffee. Good location with restos around and mini Greece museum. Proximity to the Acropolis and Monastiraki.
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!

I stayed one night at Red Dave Athens Hotel and was really impressed overall. The rooftop jacuzzi and sun deck were a highlight—perfect for relaxing with a view after a long day. The room design had a modern, industrial feel that was both stylish and comfortable.
Only small downside was the bathroom cleanliness, which could be slightly improved. Other than that, everything was great. Would definitely stay again for the vibe and rooftop alone!

We chose this hotel because we were going to Balambaka by train in the morning. The location is very close to the train station👍. The basement room can store luggage, each luggage locker costs €3, but our luggage is too big (28 inches😅) to fit in the locker. Fortunately, the staff put it outside for us (of course we have a lock to ensure safety), and only charged us €6. Thank you to the hotel staff for solving our problem and their attitude is also very good.

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.

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in Europe. The location is in the heart of Athens city, near by the main station along the Acropolis. The balcony in my room was in front if the acropolis itself. The people there are very nice and to be honest, I don’t have anything to complain about. Rooms was so clean and the room service folks clean it everyday. Also the rate is soo good comparing to the location. Lastly, it is literally 3 minutes far from the metro station which make is very convenient.
The sanitation is relatively clean. We arrived on the morning of the 11th. They stored our luggage very considerately. Then we went out very early on the 13th. They also packed breakfast for us. They were very enthusiastic and the service was very good. The breakfast was quite good. But I forgot to ask when the deposit would be refunded when I checked out?

This was an absolute outstanding stay. The staff where very friendly, helpful and always with a smile on their faces, specially the gentleman in reception and the lady that looked after the rooms Constance or Constantine 🥹 sorry if I spelled her name wrong. What an amazing and loving person ❤️ I will come back for sure. Clean and modern room, amazing bathroom and a very good breakfast served with a good variety of foods.

Lovely little hotel with helpful staff.
The train station is across the road from the hotel, which is very handy.
The room was spacious enough for me. It got cleaned most days.
The hotel is about a 25-30 minute walk to the main attractions (or you can just get on a train). I just googled places and walked everywhere.
Never felt in danger walking around (that includes night time, too).
There are a couple of mini supermarkets around the corner from the hotel with a variety of different things (fresh produce, etc).
My room had a nice view of the city, and the sun was shining on my balcony most of the day, I could watch sunset (see photo)
My ONLY negative was the smoking. The cleaner would smoke in her cleaning room, and when I got fresh towels, they smelt of cigarettes. Smoke travels, and I always knew when she had arrived or when she was smoking. I noticed that the hotel is a non-smoking hotel, but other guests were smoking on their balcony.
Other than that, I had a nice, clean, and relaxing stay here. I would stay here again, super cheap and cheerful.

KKDTINOThe Attalos Hotel is good with everything you need, reception is right at the front door with very helpful and friendly staff, the lifts are small, so only one person and your luggage at a time, but that’s ok. It has the most amazing rooftop with Athens’ best kept secret bar and view of the acropolis that you won’t ever forget. Rooms are good, (we stayed in 507 & 506), not too big, however Athens is old so it’s ok for what you need and I am picky. The bed is comfortable, the linen is clean and fresh towels, the bathroom is small but water is hot and water pressure perfect. Great location, just off a small street and so close to Monastiraki Square in Athens which is less than 100 meters away. Close to a supermarket, cafe’s everywhere (you have to get yourself a real Greek coffee- now that’s a caffeine hit you will need after travelling 😉) and there is amazing authentic Greek Food all around. I recommend Nikos Tavern just pass the church in the square and left up the alley. It one of the oldest, and I was there 32 years ago. You will see all the tables and chairs!! Attalos is walking distance to all the sights you need to see, like the acropolis and museums and train station are right nearby. I will definitely stay here again ever time I visit Athens on my way to the Peloponnese. What a great memory, Thanks guys!!
__WeChat506606****Excellent hotel! Great value for money and very clean. The front desk offers 24-hour service, and the staff are incredibly kind and helpful, speaking English, which makes communication a breeze. Highly recommended! It's only a 4-minute walk from the subway station and in a pretty central location. I rarely leave reviews, but my experience here was so good that I had to give it a five-star rating.
YYiheThe front desk service was very good, but the hotel is too close to the main road and too noisy. The noise from cars roaring at night was very loud. I communicated with the front desk before check-in and it was already on the side facing the side street instead of the main road. In order to be quiet, I was upgraded to a family suite, but it was still very noisy.
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.
TTravelwithjessieeI’m a solo traveller and I stayed here on my first trip to Athens. I wanted to be central to the attractions. The location was amazing!
It is right on Monastiaki square where you can take the metro to and from the airport making it easy to get to! You can also use theirs to get around Athens! Low cost and easy to use!
You can see the Acropolis right from the square! There are also lots of lovely restaurants and coffee shops around this area too!
On arriving at the hotel the reception staff were very warm and welcoming. They helped me to arrange transportations and offered to prepare a takeaway breakfast bag for my early check out which was very kind!
The room itself was quite large and clean with all of the amenities that you may need. The shower was hot which was good! The downside to the room is that it is very noisy from the outside due to it being on the square. It can get busy at nighttime, however I did expect this due to its location. I came prepared and brought earplugs to sleep in which did the trick!
The breakfast is served in the rooftop bar. Plenty of choice and delicious pastries each day. Hot and cold options available which was nice! The views from here are amazing! You can sell all around you and have a view of the Acropolis as you enjoy your breakfast! Wow!
Photos attached of the view from breakfast at the hotel rooftop and the square!
I would recommend this hotel to stay on if you are wanting to be in the centre of Athens! Everything was accessible and the staff was always happy to help!
Thank you so much for being so lovely during my stay!
I would come back again! 😊
GGuest UserGreat 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
