Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Plaka Hotel enjoys a superb location near Monastiraki Square and within easy walking distance of major attractions, shops, and a variety of restaurants. Many guests appreciate the Acropolis view from the rooftop bar, where you can enjoy cocktails. Rooms are generally comfortable and many include useful amenities such as a fridge, though some found the bathrooms, particularly the showers, to be on the smaller side. A good breakfast buffet is available to start the day.

fine view ample choice

The rooftop bar has a fine acropolis view. It made for nice evenings. the breakfast buffet offered ample choices to start the day right, providing necessary energy.

the shower in the room was quite small, and it was hard to avoid splashing water everywhere.

rooftop restaurant acropolis view central location poor air conditioning small room size refrigerator excuses

the rooftop restaurant provided awesome views of the acropolis. i found this a very romantic detail. the hotel location proved central, perfect for exploring. the breakfast was tasty and fulfilling.

the air conditioning was not the best. it barely kept the room cool enough . small rooms made it difficult to move around with luggage, i found. the front desk gave unusual excuses for issues with the refrigerator, twice.
