Acropolis House

A charming little place run by friendly and knowledgeable staff. The location is perfect, on a pedestrian street close to all the major tourist sites. Great breakfast, clean facilities, and cozy sitting rooms. Highly recommended.

Excellent location with many restaurants and bars around that are not so touristy. Very central and close to the Acropolis. Good connection to the airport. Great atmosphere and nice breakfast. But they could change from toast bred to real bred.

We stayed in the Acropolis House for 5 nights in April. We saw the hotel on a list of hotels in the Plaka while reading Rick Steves’ guide on Greece. We found the hotel comfortable and just what we needed – a base, centrally located, where we could sleep, shower and change – being perfectly located in the Plaka close to all the sites; the Acropolis, Syntagma Square, the Agora, Hadrian’s Library, etc. Whenever we finished our day’s excursion, we found we were only ever 10 minutes or less from the hotel. Emanuella, who runs the hotel, was very helpful as were all her staff. Her daughter even took time out from eating her dinner to make us coffee as the member of staff on duty was busy with another guest. The breakfast was simple but enjoyable and the homemade cake was delicious. We usually left before breakfast started but, if you notified them the day before, they would make breakfast to go. Something a potential guest should know; the rooms are small, as are the bathrooms. Some of the bathrooms are across the hall; we had a triple ensuite room with a small balcony for the 2 of us. A third adult would have made the room feel cramped. However, we never intended on staying in the hotel except to sleep – there is far too much to see and do in Athens! Additionally, there are no elevators, so you must carry your luggage up the winding staircase. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and if you want a centrally located, comfortable hotel the Acropolis House should be considered.

The hotel was conveniently located near Syntagma Square and Acropolis. We were able to see Acropolis from our bathroom window. The room was very small. There was no space between double bed and single bed. The private bathroom was outside which was inconvenient. There was a step to get into the bathroom which could lead to trip and fall situations. The floor in the bathroom was uneven which was also dangerous. There was no elevator so we had to carry our luggage to the third floor via spiral staircase. It was very noisy at night, the sound was coming from both inside and outside the hotel. Even regular conversation could be heard inside our room. The breakfast was limited. The lady who was serving breakfast was rude. She didn't offer yogurt. When I asked about yogurt she asked how many did we need. I told that I needed 3 yogurts for 3 people. The lady said, "Are you sure? Because I don't won't my yogurt to be wasted". We felt unwelcome there.
