Athens Hotels

"We stayed three nights after a cruise and found this hotel to be a great location to get around and see Athens. The metro stop is on the same block, which was very convenient. We were surrounded by great shopping and restraunts and only two metro stops to the Plotka ( or a healthy, not-impossible walk). The breakfast was delicious and staff was very accomodating. For the money, this is a great deal!!

I have enjoyed my stay at the Hilton very much, however, I think that the fees they are charging for using the internet and gym are a disgrace. Many hotels of this class do not charge an additional fee for using the fitness club at all and the fee for the internet should be no more than 5 Euro a day if at all.

The location of this hotel on Ermou Street ( the shoe street) is absolutely perfect. It's right next to Syntagma Square, with the train station, tram station, taxi ranks and airport express bus all within 100 metres which makes it very easy for travellers with luggage. Also, the Plaka and Monastiraki districts are right next door, and you are able to wander around, go shopping or eat at many different places and then return to you hotel as often as you want during the day. We stayed for 5 days and found the people in reception very pleasant and helped us when we asked for information and made numerous phone calls for us including reservations at restaurants, hairdressers and the intercity train terminal. The breakfast was excellent, with a real fresh orange juice machine, and everything you would expect to eat. Our room was a twin bed. It was very clean, including the bathroom, and also was a decent size, there was room for a small table and two chairs. The bathroom was a bit small as it had the shower inside the bath tub, which could be a problem for elderly people climbing in and out, but otherwise it had plenty of counter space next to the basin which is important when there are two women with their cosmetics. The only negative comment would be the hardness of the bed, but after staying in many other places in Greece, we found that this seems to be a common trait. We would definitely stay there again as price, convenience, amenities and location were all just right.

Top class hotel with a lovely breakfast area part of which overlooks the Acropolis.The buffet breakfast was first class. If you are on foot it is a bit of a hike up the hill towards Lycabettus Hill. This is fine if you want to stay in Kolonaki for the up-market shopping but it is a bit away from Plaka,Monastriki and the Acropolis However we got an excellent rate and would recommend the hotel subject to the above reservations.

Definitely a five star hotel. Try to get a hotel room facing the Temple of Olympic Zeus. The view is incredible and you get to have breakfast in the morning on the top floor. I love, love, love this hotel. It is within walking distance to the Plaka, the Acropolis and Syntagma Square. Amazing location!!!! It was one of my favorite stays in Greece. Staff are incredibly helpful and speak many languages well.

The hotel is clean and convenient to the metro which is about three blocks away. Not located in a shopping district and choices of fine dining within walking distance is limited, however; you can get on the metro and be where the action is within two stops. The staff was helpful and tried to make your stay pleasant. The rooms are quiet and the air conditioning system excellent (something to think about when in Athens in the hote summer months). A big negative for this hotel is the charge for Internet access - 15Euro a day per device. If you have a laptop and a iPhone they count as two and you will be speinding 30Euro per day. A second negative comment is that their breakfast buffet is very basic and bad. They do not keep the buffet warm so you are likely to get cold eggs, sausage, etc. If you are going to offer breakfast in this type of hotel is should be better.

This is a beautiful hotel. The lobby is quite impressive and the staff was extremely helpful in explaining how to get around the city. (Their English was excellent.) Once in the rooms, there was abit of shock as to how, um, close the space is, but the room is nicely furnished and everything is clean. The only problem our group ran into was outside. We went to go find a place to eat and got into a bad part of town in less than three blocks. Definitly do not go out after dark.

The Athens Park is an older hotel in good condition and is a convenient place to stay if you are touring Athens. We rented a car and drove to some surrounding attractions and the driving in Athens was a challenge, but not impossible if you study your route before you go. There is a metro location close by so you don't need a car or taxi unless you are leaving the city or want more convenience. We took taxis twice. Both times the driver told us what the price would be before we started out. The Park has a cool restaurant/bar on the top floor with great views, although it's expensive - like all of Athens. Breakfast was good. There may be better places to stay in Athens for the price, but you won't come away disappointed with this hotel.

This hotel has a convenient location, a good level of service and a delicious buffet breakfast. You can walk to all of the major attractions from the Hotel or you can use the underground/subway with stops located nearby. Plaka is a delightful suburb to wander around in the evening as the sun goes down with markets, restaurants and buskers playing music in the street. We were in Athens when strikes closed tourist attractions and stopped public transport links. The staff were very attentive and spoke to guests at breakfast about how the strike might affect their plans. They offered suggestions and alternatives in a friendly and helpful manner. If you are arriving in Athens, Plaka Hotel provides a warm welcome and a good first impression of Greece.

This hotel is phenomenal! It is actually one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. It is fantastic! The hotel is marvelous, and I definitely would stay here the next time I return to Athens. The rooms were incredible, we stayed here twice in a span of a week before going to the islands and after we came back, and each time the rooms were great and spacious. The staff at the hotel is beyond words amazing. So helpful, attentive and so warm, always eager to fulfill your every needs. The location of the hotel is pretty good too. For its size it's located a bit away from the center, but walking to Syndagma square takes about 30 minutes or so, since its literally on the same avenue just many blocks up and the Acropolis Museum is about a 20 minute walk so not bad at all. There is a great,free shuttle bus to the square however, during the evenings it's very full coming back to the hotel so you have to make sure you're one of the first to get on. The restaurants in the hotel are amazing, especially Premiere on the top floor with outstanding views of the Acropolis. To top it all off, the price was fantastic, we couldn't believe it was so cheap for such a magnificent hotel. I recommend this hotel without a doubt, made my stay in Athens great! Incredible....
