Plaka Hotel Stay: Jan 20th to Jan 30th Rm 511
My second time stay. Enjoyed my stay to the hilt. Staff very friendly. House keep was excellent. Used Plaka as my base to visit the Islands, wandered the Peloponnese and local markets.
I would like to especially thank Miss ”Eva” of front desk. She is the star at the breakfast room in the morning as she chimes ” Kala Mera”. Politely comes to the table asking about any help we wanted or any tips to visit a place of interest or any discomfort the previous day with which she could help. She was genuinely interested in helping. Her multicultural knowledge including multi language capability was very valuable in easy conversation. She is a great asset to Plaka Hotel. Her colleagues at the front desk including the gentlemen were very friendly and we felt that we were returning home as we came back in the eve and were greeted with smiles.
One disconcerting aspect of the elevators in Plaka hotel was the offending smell that emanated sometime. And one suggestion to the management is to add sliders under the furniture legs on the roof restaurant as they keep moving it late in the night causing noise. But it did not take away from our enjoying the stay.
Thanks to Plaka Hotel for a delightful stay of ten days. We will come back next year. Looking forward!

The rooms were clean. The bed was soft and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and nice. The location is not very good for early morning/ evening walking around
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.

The location is fantastic, just a stone's throw from the Acropolis. The service was excellent; the staff helped us carry our bags to the room, and they even called us to offer an early check-in once our room was ready. Complimentary water and toiletries were provided, and the breakfast spread was generous.
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.

GGuest UserThis was a great stay for us and our family. The hotel is conveniently located near many popular sights and eateries in Athens and most were within a 10-20 minute walk. The nearby Monastiraki metro station made it easy to get to and from the airport as well.
The rooms are nicely appointed with a couple of chairs, work station, coffee/tea station, closet, mini fridge and TV. The beds were small but comfy enough. Our family had a 2 and 3 bed rooms and we found the 2 bed room was a lot more spacious. The bathrooms in both were small but we appreciated that the hot water came on quickly and there was a small window for ventilation. Our room was quiet at night but our family noted street noise on the lower floors. The elevators were often tricky to catch as they are small but we appreciated it when we didn't feel like the climb to the sixth floor.
The amenities at the hotel were good for the price. The roof top patio and bar area was a highlight and we enjoyed a couple of afternoons up here watching the sun set and the lights turn on at the Acropolis. The prices of the bar were inexpensive and they had a good variety of options. There was a sitting room that had tea and coffee midday and they kept it open in the evening so we were able to sit together and talk. They had laundry service, baggage storage and could help arrange tours or car hires as well at the front desk with their friendly and welcoming staff.
The breakfast at this hotel was very good for the price. They had something for everyone and lots of place to sit. Highlights for us were the Greek yoghurt and the spinach and feta stuffed pastries. They also had mini sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs, feta cheese, cucumber, tomatoes, breads, baklava, croissants, dried fruits, fresh fruits, juices and a coffee machine. We looked forward to breakfast each morning.
The hotel provided a good base for exploring and was centrally located. We would say if you're looking to save money and have a good breakfast to start your day in Athens this hotel is a good choice.
__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.
MMarianthiaFirst of all shout out to the cleaning ladies they did a great job cleaning my room everyday and I know their work is pretty hard. Second the people at the reception are lovely and kind, very helpful when asking questions and very nice to talk to. The room was even bigger than the pictures I loved it and felt so comfortable. Also nice that they have Netflix!!!
Pame wild will be my go to hotel when I visit Athens again!!
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! 😊
AAnonymous UserVery comfortable and quiet room, with a kettle and everything you need to make tea or coffee. Very friendly staff. Good location. Possibility of leaving luggage after check out.

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
